THAT SUFFRAaE.-Now that the Democratlc
Convention has adjourned 1t is difficult to correct
misunderstanding as to what it did or did not
do but the Phoenix lives three points in relation TO
the Convention which must be observed, and then
closes the subject. - -@-sr'''--'s 49, - 9
!. The Mercury, In lis special telegram, said :"Ihe
Central Executive Committee appointed by theApril
Convention, expressed desire for conference, ana
the Convention appointed committee to confer with
them. They reported o basis Of union, which was
adopted iy,the Convention"
The Phoenix says: "This statement ts incorrect,
and the matter was corrected as promptly as possible.
As soon as the Committees Of Conference met it was
stated by the State Central Executive Committee that
no desire Of the kind had been volunteered by them,
and 1t was understood and that the conference
should be put upon mutual desire on the part OF
both parties to- have united party in this State.
Q. The correspondent Of THE NEWS said the re-
suit Of the compronise, "the question otnegro suf
fraee TO be ignored for the present"
The Phoenix replies: aNow, If by this It'll meant
that Yhe platform Of the April Convention n any re.
spect was ignored by the action OF the STATE CenGal
Executive Committee, then the statement OF THE
Nrws' correspondent ts incorrect In no respect was
the April platform ignored But 1t was agreed that
the matter Of qualified suffrage, not being practt-
cai issue now, as between the white people CT the
not yide the state And it was further understood
that In the New York Convention no delegate rom
this State would regard i proper TO press the ques
ton Of qualified suffrage"
g., The Mercury calls the late iamented
aTbe Convention Il the Democratic party OF this
State. opposed to negro suffrage
The Phoenix says: s:wes shsye only to remark that
this would seem to confirm the statement that we
have made that the movement which led TO this
Convention was based upon Opposition TO- that fea:
ture in the April Cen, enhm. which, in certain
contingency, fsvored the policy of qualihed negro
suffrage. Busitseer.. rather strange tnat the Mer
cury should make this point when Jsuch email
proportion oftbe districts Of thestate responded to

This is very comforting, very reasoning and very
much Ike the harmony 80 generally desired.
