THE STATE CONVENTION.

The Democratic State Convention
has come and gone into history. reeK,
ing with the crime of usurpatlon ana
foul with the fumes of fraud.
This Convention represented prob
ably three per cent OF the town peo,
ple and one-fourth of one per cent OF
the country people. And yet, with the
boldness of pirate they violated the
law, ignored precedent and ran rough
shod over everything that hlndered
their spirit of hatred.
Governor Russell was defeated for
delegate from the state at large and
his own county, Lafayette, was voted
against him when we know the voters
OF his county are for him at least foul
to one.
The delegation from that county
was led by distinguished gentleman.
a ruling elder Of the Presbyterian
church, ID for years held an exalted
place in the State University, and he
knew that this was violating the
wishes of the people when he cast the
vote. There was just as much. spirit
of genuine morality and true democ-
racy in the Convention as there is
heavenly virtue in hell.
Really, there was just about as
much respect shown to democratic
principles and policies as blatant John
Tally from Forrest County has res
pect for truth and decency.
| shall endeavor to give full his
tory of this Convention in the next
number of Vardaman's Weekly, dis
cussing the issues involved and the
tendencies to which such procedure
leads. 1t was noticeable that the
spirit of the Old Secret Caucus was
there. Really. the Chief of that po-
litical ignominy was on hand, but in
stead o. having his man Friday, Du-
laney, to back him up he brought with
him his little Congressman.
Of course the purpose of all of this
is to take the government of Missis-
sippi out of the hands of the men
whose labor produces the wealth OF
the country and maintains its COM
merce in time of peace and whose sons
in the late war, as we'll as in all 9TH
er wars, fought the battles of Ameri-
ca.
But as the time is limited before
going to press l shall have to post
Done an analysis of this Convention
until the next edition of this paper
