Wilson about James K. vardaman
is the most unkind, uncalled for, ma
Iignanat and outrageous that | have
ever seen from the pen of any man
who ever occupied place OF puoilc
trust, in this nation. | will not uh-
dertake to describe what | conceive
tn he the condition of the heart ana
mind of man who would undertake
To use such a method to injure one
who has served his people anu nus
country, faithfully for more IMAM a
ouarter of century. No one who
knows the facts will have any fear
of injury to Vardaman, by the pupn-
cation of this Shiny effusion from such
"a source. but every friend he has, and
thousands of those who II not know
him, will despise the meanness that
prompted it.
That this man, repudiated and
kicked out of public confidence after
having very nearly wrecked the veal
thiest. strongest and best government
this world ever saw, would presume
TO inform the people Of Mississippi
that they should not vote for Varda-
man. presents an example of egotism
that would put Sut--lov-in-good to
the blush.
Look at the condition of our rail
roads, coal industry and our economic
condition from one end Of the country
to the other. The railroads are try
ing to make it appear that victory,
FOR them, is in sight. They are be-
ing ruined and every body who IS not
a fool knows it. The whole country
Is on the brink of an industrial per-
,dition, The horrible harvest we are
rearing of wretchedness and despair
is Tho fruit of seeds that were sown
during the life Ct the most despotic
and extravagant administration that
has ever cursed our sorrowing and al
1nost helpless people.
The people had been aroused to
knowledge of the crisis, which they
met, in the last presidential election,
and Cox, who went all the way to
Washington, to receive the approval
and instruction of his "serene high
ness, was buried beneath an ava
3anche of votes as were never piled
upon the head of any man, living or
dead. It was lick not at Cox but at
wisconsin. Now, the enemies of VAR
s4aman are trying to use the venom OF
this old cast-off, as a last resort IN
-fheir effort to defeat him, If thi sgov-
eminent lives, those who will read the
history of it, in years to come, will
find no blacker page than that which
win contain an account Of this over
flow of human hate and maglignity.
God pity the man who would have an
office acquired by means so detesta-
BILE. Miss Kearney would not. Her
honest woman soul lives in an atmos-
lohere far above the implicable spleen
and moral effluvia that find express
sion in the dirty little explosion hand
ed out by a piece of political junk.
Until I am compelled to do SO | Will
not believe that Mr.. Stevens is re-
sponsible for its publication. If he IS,
eff if the people of Mississippi believe
him 10 be, he is certain to be defeated.
To NY Fellow Citizens, Here And
Elsewhere:
My friends. Our country is on the
brink of ruin. If existing conditions
are not remedied, and that speedily
our tottering civilization will go down
in fire and smoke. and blood, to its
final fall. Present strikes are not the
disease that is destroying the vltais
of great nation. These are only
the symptoms. The real malady lies
tar beneath these. 1t will be founo
at the very heart Of our economic
