In the treasury, and the leading ques
tion with both paitiea was "what
ihould be done with Itf But that
can no longer be a question now, for
not only has tbe whole surplus been
squandered by tbe Harrison admin,
titration in pension bounties and
other profligate legislation, but it
now appear irom the (tatement pre
pared in accordance with the Ed
munds resolution in ths Senate that
there will probably be a deficit thi
year of nearly 1130,000,000, includ
ing 150,000,000 of possible reduction
of revenues by ths passage of the
ixch.in.ey tariff UUl.
Y hat do tbe people of the coun
try think of that sort of republican
financiering? One buncred million
of aurplu squandered, and a deficit
of $130,000,000 left to be supplied in
tbe immediate future, after a year

etter to the Jackson, miss.. Clarion

extracts are made: "1 now give
notice, .through yourpaper, that the
present Democratic incumbent will
soon have to step down and out, and
will show ber no more courtesy
than she did me when 1 had to turn
the office over to her under Cleve-

the palefaces because I could not

Democratic rule; but I thank God
the bottom rail has again made its
appearance and 1 hope it will again
get to the top of the political fence

who ought to have died before he
helped to bring on secession and
the war. If Mr. Harri
son is re-elected and if we get pos
session of the State . offices, as we
expect to do under the leadership of
Messrs. Chalmers, Hill, Lynch and
tiernoghan, we will show the world
that the colored people have sjme
rights, even in Mississippi, and my
wife and the wives of other colored
men will travel in the same coach
and dine at the same hotel and our
children will go to the same school
