Alcorn Running the Eggleston Machine.
Gen. Alcorn spoke again in the capitol on Thursday night, to repair the breech on his own side which his violent and bitter, but egotistical and stupid tirade, had made, during the Eggleston Convention.
His last speech was worse than his first. It was the lowest and most disgusting effort which has yet been made to arouse the prejudices of the blacks against the whites. With a little more pretension to style, it was a reproduction of the vile speech which Henry Mayson delivered a short time ago in Brandon - only, Henry Mayson was drunk with whisky, and Alcorn was drunk with malice and ambition.
