BILBO AGAIN BEGS FOR MONEY

Bilbo, through the Issue, hai
: published most heart-wrackinl
and piteous appeal for money anc
which winds up with, "Help US
Cash-us, or we sinkr" He puts
all OF his coattail-swingers on no.
tice that they must root around
and hustle up money, or there is
danger of his whole ticket going
to the demnition bow-wows. We
cannot understand why SO much
money is needed by Bilbo in con-
ducting q Democratic primary,
where only white men can vote.
The only Interpretation to be put
on such practice is that the rank
and file of his supporters can on
ly be held in leash by the corrup-
ting use OF money. We under
stood, in campaigning against
carpet-baggers in 1875, with the
negro vote to reckon with, why it
was necessary to use money. But
when the contest is between white
men, and settled by Democrat
ic primary, it is shamefully sor-
rowful to contemplate that it is
necessary to lavishly use money,
and this corruption fund, too, is
expected to come out of the pock-
cts of the honest masses, who are
supporting Bilbo.
Bilbo and his organ grinders
boastfully claim that he has the
fight won and will poll 100, 900
votes in the first primary. Then
why keep on appealing to your
followers for money, money and |
more money?
But Bilbo and his henchmen |
know he is beaten, for the INTEL |
Iigent and patriotic people of our
State will never select such
spotted man Governor. Here is 4
-he closing paragraph in that APP
peal for financial aid, and if it
does not spell defeat for Bilbo we
would like to have you interprit
what this signifies:
"If you have planned to help,
ct us hear from you at once, for
n a few days it will be too late to
10 any good"
What trust or reliance can you
place in anythingthat Bilbo says
IT the Issue publishes? In one
breath he claims that he has the
light right now won by an over
vhelming majority, and is gain
ng votes daily; and in the next
le tells his supporters if they do
lot furnish him with more money,
md plenty of it too, and that in
tanter, it will be too late-he will
'e beaten man.
We sadly mistake the people of
dississippl if they elect a profess :
ional begger and miserable men /,
icant to the highest and most t
esponsible office within their !
lift. If Bilbo has made such a
nancial failure of his life, and
quandered his splendid oppor-
antics, that he cannot make a
without constant ap- \
eals to public charity, he is as
lredly untitled to be entrusted \
ith the affairs of our great state. 4

ontributions from any other Gu :

Here are a few Of the Crown

ducts that will be ex empt from

gets his bin enacted into law and
any lawyer will SO tell you:
All the logs and lumber on the
saw mill yards, and theowners of
standing tim Der will doubtless
claim that under the new law the
trees are also exempt and we
believe the courts will sustain
them.
Boyce & Co. and all other cot
ton spectators can then buy up
the farmers bales at low price
and hold them free of taxation
until they get ready to sell. Had
this proposed law been in force
when Bilbo's friend Boyce stole
that $4,000 from the State he
could likewise have pocketed the
tax on said cotton so long as he
saw proper to hold it.
And this is not all. Every oil
mill in Mississippi can combine,
as they have been doing, buy up
the farmers seed at half price,
and pay tax neither on the seed ,
he holds or the products manu- :
factured therefrom.
