Reading Matter on Every Page.

IL was argued by Corporation Attorney Cook
and others 1T the Union League Hall meeting
on Wednesday night, that il would not be safe
10 Tish District consolidation lest the Republi-
can majority in Washington might be swamped
by Georgetown and the county. This is the
single solitary argument brought forward
against consolidation. IL Is not arguing upon
. very high plane, at best TO contend that all the
great interests of the District must be sacrificed
to party necessities, and because of thr shadowy
possibility that few votes may be lost to the
GINS" Eut even this argument does not seem to
have any good foundation. The county. with the
large cOlOred settlements across the Eastern
branch and north of the city, must have a very
large Republican majority. In Georgetown, at
the last election, the citizens ticket" owing
to discussions in the Republican party, was
elected over the straight-out Republican ticket
by majority of less than ca, and part of the
Republican ticket was elected. The total vote
In Georgetown, of all parties. amounted to 20i2
At the last election in Washington tie Repub-
hcans carried the city by about 5000 majority
or more than the whole vote of Georgetown and
the county So If every voter, white aud col
Orcd, IN Georgetown and the county, were t.
vote the Democratic ticket, the entire vote
would not suffice TO wipe out the Republican
majority in tEis city. Thus, even on party
grounds, there is no good reason for opposition
to the plan of consolidation. But that plan
really commends itself irresstibly to every good
Republican because of its extending the right of
suffrage TO the cOlOred people of the county
Why should the cOlOrcd man be denied the
privilege of voting because he happens to live at
the other end of the Navy Yard Bridge, or on
Seventh street beyond the city boundary?
Here are large number of colOrcl people, a
majority of the citizens of the county, wholly
di>franchised. The Republicans of Washington
must not allow themselves to be pu. in the atti-
tudc of refusing them the right of suffrage.
MI Cook has been an earnest and consistent
advocate OF enlarged suffrage, but i'm his jealous
opposition TO consolidation he has somehow got
into an Illogical position. We ask him to rub his
specs and take good look at this side of the
question. and he cannot fail to see that we must
consolidate the District and give the right of
suffrage to the eolorcd men in the county.
