"WHITE MEN, ON THE BASIS
OF, WHITE REPRESENTA-
ton, SHOULD RULE AMER
hlCA. 1910 ei.'''3~- i. '-' -pt
The above sentiment appears in the
call for the assembling Of the "loyal" peo-
pie Of Southern Ohio, which the Radicals
have, for the last two weeks, kept standing
in the dark corner of Record. White men
shall rule Americal Is 1t q joke, or Is It
for the purpose Of securing the attendance
of Democrats? Have the Radicals Of this
place consulted with the speakers who
have promised 10 be in attendance, and
have they agreed that the people are igno-
rant Of their records, and can be made to
believe that they are in favor Of white
men ruling America. True, none Of those
announced in their posters, have achieved
such distinction as to make their names and
deeds very familiar to the people. They
are but Insignificant followers of the Rad
icals, who are plotting the ruin Of the
Republic. The trumpet Of fame has not
sounded their names In our ears. A stu
dent Of National politics would miss Moth
ing by ignoring theirexistence. Kentucky
is represented by one Of whom she has no
reason to be proud. This District Is rep
resented by one, from his noted incapacity,
was disgrace to the people whosent him
to Congress. His services were notappre-
ciated and he was made to retite to yate
life. Others are announced whose suffi-
cient shield from all they can do, is their
utter insigniAcance. ,ar + .-rr.. r.-
Are they in favor Of white men, on a
basis ofwhite representation, ruling Amer
leap Their records give answer TO the
question. How about white men ruling In
the District of ColumbiaS How about the
white basis thereS But, Says Mr.. Bundy,
the overwhelming vote against negro suff-
rage was given by rebels, and the insignit-
icant vote of one hundred and fifty in fa-
vor Of the black man ruling, was given by
''loyap people. Is that all he explanation
ofyour record you can give, ,MrBundy. Ho,o
about the nine Territories that wtll soon be
Statesl How abouta white basis Of rep
resentation there! How about white men
ruling Americal Why did you forcene-
gro suffrage upon the people of Colarado
against their expressed wish? Why did
you vote to force negro suffrage upon the
other Territories which win soon be States
in the Union! Were the people Of the
Territories disloyal3 Did they rebel agains'
the Government? Bundy, Mckee, and the
Radicals, whose lead they followed, have
not even that fiimsy pretence to conceal
the meaning Of theirvotes. The language
of their acts Is plain and unequivocal.- -
They bluster loudly about rebels in Che
District Of Columbia, but upon their votes
forcing negro suffrage upon the people ol
the Territories, they are silent az the
grave. .... ..-o.13 I.+
They dare not face their own music
They shuttle, eyade, equiyocate, whenever
that part of their record is touched
Fred Douglass and Anna Dickin-
son were the leading men in their late
Convention at Philadelphia. Are they the
white men that are to rule America, or do
they form the white basis Of representa-.
tion? ..r- .... l-.-.ai r-.r
1t Is not only their skir mishers, such as
Phillips, Tilton and Garrison, who openly
proclaim that they are in favor Of making
this 4 ntongrel Government. The leader:
Of the party-Sumner in the Senate and
Stevens in the House, have taken the same
ground. Wilson, Mckee Bundy, and the
like-men Of small capacity and no purpose
follow in theft Footsteps And yet they
will speak here under q can for the assem-.
bling Of men who believe that "white Mer
upon white basis of white representation
should rule American Win they ayojt
their records, or the, call They must dl
one or the other. We shall see.
