The National Era says, speaking Of the sc-
ton of the Legislature on the law of 1893:
" The struggle referred to, either originates ia
determination to perpetuate slavery, in Ken
lucky, or clearly indicates great Indifference to
its evils"
Neither as regards majority Of Legislators
or People. Doubtless, the few perpetuslists in
and out of Frankfort sought to turn this strug-
gle in favor Of slavery. But how BY forcing
a certain kind of action which would alarm
slave FOLDERS, and thus unite them against the
Convention next August, and the policy of their
opponents was to " head" them.
Again says the Era:
II is evident that, unless the opponents of sIa-
very rally in that State, with more spirit than
has hitherto actuated them, the measure THE
repeal of the law Of 1889 will yet prevail.
No danger about that! And there is no dan
ger, because the antislavery men of the State
will always rally on this point with spirit enough
to defeat il. OF this the Era may rest assured
Had the editor been at Frankfort, and seen
