At a meeting Of the friends Of impartial SUI
held at Faneuil Hall, Boston. lately, Col.
W. 3. Stokes, Of Tennessee, spoke Is follows:
In closing. Stokes alluded to the question Of
impartial suffrage. lie had. be said. long known
and lived among c9l5rrl men. and knew that there
were true men among them. They had guided
Union men ont % danger during tie war, and had
taken them - tbriT catiHs AID id tIem. IL owed
bis existence to-day 20 cOl0rrd men. he bad used
'hem a. -pie- aud lad never bad one to deceive
him. He had seen them on tie battlefield. and
had never seen them finch. The country va.
marching on. aud whether bis audience saaG!d saw
tLev were 10 favor Il if. OF he Should say be was
against iL. the time was EYt distant when the col
0r-d man would vote. One hundred and eighty
soldiers could not long be- kept from
voting. There was nov a true Union Legislature
and Governor ia IeEnrssee. They had refused 10
enfraucLi-. rebels. While that question za- M
must finish one Job first. The next work they
would have % 10 would b. 10 make il d0nbiy sure
that the Government would remain in the hands Of
men By giving the ballot 20 cJ.or-d men.
And not twelve months would elapse before Ec-
yr1e- would vote in Tennessee. And why should
not: They voted there from 1896 20 Is3j.

I1ils--HHE side los side with black men and nobody
hurt. The co'orci men were excluded from
voting by The amendment 20 the Constitution which
