hitting the amended Constitution to the
people for their ratification in June, all
of which may be legally dQns by the Leg
~islaturs elected this fall, sud clearly
showing that tho question RI negro suf-
frage may DO before The people aet s'shres
years hence" but within the pexs ten

three years hence, Is nntTue.
II the people are opposed to negro suF-
frase, they win vote negro suffrage can
didates down this fall. If they are in ia.
sar Of negro suffrage, they will, of coarss,
vote for negro SUFFICE and pegro equality
candidates. Let their votes at the next
elsotion Determine The question whether
they are willing to degrade themselves to
tbs levc! Of a negro or not. Let no CRY
Of aeoHardieo' induce them 10 vote for
a white maa who admits that be is no
