The Grenada Sentinel:
One night during the presidentia
campaign of 1884 at a great Repub-
lican rally in the city of NewYork
and in the presence of the "Plurneo
Knight" James G. Blaine, then the
Republican candidate for President
the renowned DR.. Burchard stood uT
and denounced what he. chose to cal
that trio of infamies, Rum, Roman.
buked lost to Blaine forever his last
chance for the presidency. AS far
as l know there was nothing the mat
ter with, DIR. Burchard except a bad
case OF running off at the mouth"
but he ruined Blaine and made Cleve-
land President.
Some one said afterwards:
Caesar had his Brutus amt NapO-
lean his Wellington but Blaine's DR..
Burchard was more deadly than either
of the others"
One day after this country had en-
tered into war with the beastly Hun
Senator Jas. K. Vardaman. in a pre-
pared interview, prompted by his van
ity, accused his country of attempting
to assassinate Germany by "stabbing
her in the back while England and
France held her down."
On July 10Th of the present year he
stood UP before an audience of Miss
i%ssippians, men, women and young
boys and girls, and said there were
people in his state so infamous
as to be willing to traffic in the vir-
tue of their W families in order to
defeat me-" 1890.
Great Godr Treason and sedition
toward his Government in the one
case and SANDER so vile in the other
that none but q bestial and a German
sympathizing brain could have con-
ceived and none but the most profare
and lying tongue could have given
voice to it.. And so far the Govern
ment has not had him hung for ms
reasonable utterances and no one IN
Amory chose to slap tine
vile SANDER down. his face and lying
throat. But what ear you expect
from a people who are so lost to all
the best traditions of their state as TO
elevate such a man as Vardaman to
the Senate and a pole cat like Bifbo
to the Governorship?
But thank God some of the more IN
telligent have seer the light and are
quitting him in droves.
Wilson Strikes Home.
Since writing the above, ] have
read to-days Commercial appeal con
tanning the letter of the President to
Mr.. Mcneil. The President says:
"Senator Vardaman among the Demo
Gratis in the Senate was distinguished
for his opposition to the ~administra-
ton" "But l should be obliged to
construe their action (the reelection
of Vardaman) as a condemnation OF
nv administration and it is only right
that they should know this before
they act'' (vote.) Gone glimmerine
now is his prating of loyalty to the
President. Every reading nan and
woman knew it was a lie when they
read it. If he had thought they
would have stood for it he would have
denounced the President before every
crowd he addressed in the state.
Those friends of his who are honest
and patriotic should at once quit him,
LET those who are so blind and full OF
prejudice that they still want to stand
by him 'even though he stole the
Lords supper and wiped mis- mouth or
the table cloth" as they said six years
300. stand by him still and go into
disgrace and. oblivion with him.. Let
those who still intend to support hin
lin spite Of his record and in spite Of
tho President. 90 and demand any
contributions they have made to tht
