hundreds of petitions have been sent
to him, urgently imploring him to
take the initiatory measures toward
extending suffrage to disfranchised
whites. This he does not do, but,
basing his prescription and harsh
advice to the Legislature on alleged
outrages of the Ku Klux, he fayors
the calling out of an unlimited num-
Der of militia, black and white. The
Legislature will undoubtedly act on
his advice, and then bloodshed and
violence can hardly be avoided, us

coming general that the present state
of affairs cannot last much longer and
a conflict is impending.
