TIE TRIBUSE has declined be lured or turn
cd aside nom tho Main question: It has per
geance on the defeated Rebels, whether by exc
Cution or By cOnliscation and one of its strong
reasons for this course Is Il conviction that no
drop Oi rebel blood could he coolly, deliberately
shed without essentially clouding the prospect
ofsecuring the Right OF Suffrage to the Blacks.
Defying the madness Of passion and the blind
ness OF sho!t-sigltC nlsconcCption, it has de-
manned Reconstruction on the basis Of Univer-
SUI Amnesty with Impartial Suffrage, in perfect
consciousness OF the fact that 1t thereby allenat
ed thousands who had been Its jealous suppor-
ters and lifelong patrons. The hour of Its COM
plete vmdication cannot be far distapt.

preference of Chief Justice Chase as the ablest
