HIS VIetCpOInt.


The specisl session Of the Legislature
has, like all other things mundane.
at las. come to an end. There was no
tears shed at the funeral, and the peo-
pie at large will not wall about and
over the deceased. What have We
done?
Tzae frst fifty days were spent in
eieeting 4 senator to represent the
state in the United States senate, and
on February p, this DEMOCRATIC
legislature by SECRET ballot NOM
mated the Hon Leroy Percy OF Wash
fngton county, for the exalted position.
The Charge OF bribery AL corruption
WAS iaS6 at our door, and toe toSc
tiagrant de5anchery was also charged
2ut the legislature, bota the senate,
acting in committee as trial court,
and the house, acting by special COM
nitsee, took up the charges against
Ourselves, ard each branch Of the legis-
laturc triuInpaantly acquitted itself OF
aay such charge. AMI if there should
b.. Any Bout ting Thomases' IN this
broad and beautiful land of ours, who
are not vet convinced Of our unStalned
unimpeached and unimpeachable virtue
and integrity, in this matter. then we
pom. you with pride to or parting
resolution, wherein we solemnly de-
cIared that we were not guilty and
that the whole matter was faked-up
charge that we were-and are-Staln-
less, and that our r. natchlsss senator is
AZ pure a, an angels dream of joy.
We took up the gat ntlet thrown at US
by an ignorant public; We took this
matter cat of the hands Of an ignorant
court and tried ourselves, for we knew
that we ought to and and DID know
ali things that happened in the secret
caucus, and knowing our innocence, we
proclaimed it, and this should satisfy
anysns kewe ever curious he may be.
Furthermore, we have crushed Vard-
anzn and Vardama1ism; every candi-
date for tae United States senate,
2etuated by the ''purest sentiment" of
patriotism for. our beloved state,
joined together to defeat this man and
the rapidly growing and rabid Varda-
man-ISM -clasping hands with the
governor, the Combination fought
for fifty days and finally the ''conserv-
4tTve" element won, and by winning, |
we stamped on this hydra-he AIDED mon
ster this radical candidate, and
crushed him.
II is crime, a burning shame to cry
fraud, debauchery, and bribery against
that noble band of conservative patri-
ot," who day and night fought for the
good Of the state, and for
fifty days and fifty nights fought this
man, Vardaman. We beat him, and
the end justifas the means. and fur
dermore, we are not guilty as charg
ed'' and point you to our verdict
as or Justification. Thus pass
ed the first fifty days.
Incit; entally, and growing out of our
''patriotic" fight against the curse of
Ward aaman AMI his continual ding dong
ing a8t loud lamentation that the wis
IDLE property is paying over so per cent ]
Of the taxes while the holders of the in
visible property are enjoying nearly all
Of the advantages, We created over
ore hundred new Offices; raised the sal
aries of nearly every Office holder IN the
state, gave him more assistants and
raised the salary of all or nearly all of
them. For, good people, do you know
the conservative" must be cared for? S
Know ye not that the ''faithful'' must v
be rewarded? Meat, bread, clothing, '
and all things needed by the Office hold t
er have gone upin price until our faith I

more milk ID the pap they are sucking. C
You understand these things are not o

appeals to the taxpayer and says terri V

We went right after him again, and t
