COND0NING A FAULT.
GOV. STANDS STILL FOLLOWS JEFFERSON
DAVIS.
As Mr.. Davis Co1doned the Wrongs Done Him
and the South, So May the Fault Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt Be Condoned- Fare
well Address.


my Water Valley speech to my Conied-
crate comrades. My heart IS So warmed
blythe earnestness and cordialityof these
messages that I would answer each over
my own signature, but the number, aug
mcnted daily, makes this impracticable
Within the last few weeks three prom
inent men Of Mississippi, through the
public prints. each in his own way and
al his own time, have assigned as "a
reason why the President Of the United
States. while journeying through the
South on his recent tour, should not have
been invited TO- accept the hospitality
Of Our State and its people; that, as Mr..
Roosevelt, he had, even in permanent
historical form, given expression 10 sem
timents which were highly derogatory
to the character Of the Southern PEG
pie, untrue and defamatory Of 81 lef-
fcrsou Davis. These charges thus rel
peated we're made with such emphasis
Of expression that | feel sure the man
who made them had each examined for
himself, which have not had the OPP
%portunity to dc. the original sources Of
authority for their almost simultaneous
~uttcrances, and for the purposes Of this
argument l accept the allegations as
