again holds up her proud head and waves the
banner of victory over the writing foe, who TO.
so long a time, held her in the thrall II lgnomlny,
crushed by the power of SlanderOuS hate, ana
hound with the letters of undylng ranc0r ana
hypocrisy. Size has risen and will shake out hel
garments, Kidding them of the mould OF years 0
suppression and throw off the parasites betoken-
ING the state she has Just risen from, which are
still clinging to the folds. Truth crushed to
earth shall rise again"-MlSSlSSlppl counted on
this, looked for it and prayed for it, and behold
it has come, and our proud state stands out eX-
enerated and ~faultleSS in the election OF a pure
true, and unsullied Democrat to the place IN the
Senate that was in so grave a danger OF Delng
contaminated by having the seat Of a man who
stands out a noble figure among the great men
of the nation, filled by one whose every action
if elected would have been one of contumely and
reproach to the Democracy OF the state.
But to-day instead of mourning and bitter la
mentation on the part Of the citizens of the state
we are shouting triumphantly abroad, to the
uttermost reaches Of this fair land OF ours, that
victory has been ours, and that, though our state
for a while staggered as one under the numblng
influence Of some hypnotic charm, ana TOOK a
stand that threatened to shake the very Iounoa-
tons Of our peace and q%uietude, she came from
under the influence Of her trance IN time to real
ize the danger that menaced, and now stands,
'clothed and in her right mind" and eXultlng IN
her deliverance from a tightening Of the strangle
hold of infamous legislation that has threaten
cd TO wreck and throw to the winds all that the
integrity Of TIE commonwealth holds sacred.
Now tlat the cleaning out Of the rat holes has
commenced, the voters OF the state Will not De
satisfied until the underground cleaning has
oonp through every phase Of eradication, and a
full and free radiance Of all that lnleStS the
home of the body polite is brought about. Times
are surely getting better-We of Mississippi Will
have more and more cause to realize tins as the
DAYS 90 by. and we see the crooked places made
straight, and can sniff the pure God-glven air,
witIl out inhaling the nauseous faint of the cor
roding body Of our corrupt politics. The lop-
ping off Of the main parasite that has made up
a CLIQUE of such, who have for so long a time
TRANQUILITY sucked the pure red blood of the poll
teal body of the state, is a augury of wonderful
up-lift for the state, and a start forward that
will continue in leaps and bounds, as one by
one the remaining paraSltlcal annoyanceS are
brushed to the light and crushed.
Mississippi is cleaning up, and every room in
the house is TO come under uperVlAlon-lN

from dark corners and destroyed rooms fumi
gated and garnished, and then the good people
of the house'can sit ON a clean front porch, will

throughout the dwelling, from porch to kitchen
and from cellar to garrett, And the servants
they are to be clean and orderly, too, so that wheI
strangers happen in, there will be no embarrass

affairs or the riOitOuS or questionable conduC
Of the servants. Yes, when the voters of tn
state get their broomS and mopS and dust cloth;
and necessarily, disinfectants, into full and en-
etr.tic play, there will be a sweeping and ga

The demise Of the chief is but a forecast of t
