that the South Is oppressed, but by
whith men its most dangerous enc

North and il Is ridiculous to expect
redress from "a white mans party"
when a party of white men are the
authors of all the mischief. ls

4 What the South needs to be res
cued from Is the domination Of III,
white Radical party of the Nortl
which has controlled Congress fo
ten years. The Southern people
would have ne difficulty in manag
ing the negroes if they were frees
from white Radical interference ex
erted through the Federal govern
ment. In North Carolina, tits llol
den's martial law backed by Grant
bayonets that keeps the State unde
Radical control. In Georgia, til
Radicals dare not h zard all election
r and the Legislature is passing al
act, under color Of Congressiona
authority, to continue the prescn
t Radical officers in authority beyon'
, the termtor which they were chosen
It is not negro voting, but outsid
, Federal pressure, that is tho unman
} ageable element in Southern politics

5 Southern Democrats must conced
that our opportunities for knowml
the North arc better than theirs.
: We ask the Southern Democrat
: to rec ognize the fact that the Mort
: is the real battle ground Of politics
freedom for their section. Here,
where the victory is to be won,
won at all, we have no negroe W
ters, worth naming. II il a conte'
: between two parties Of white mel
and a perpetaation q, the old quar-
about the rights Of the negro onI
.lstrengthens the enemy. The negi
question is the only one on whic
the Radical party agree; It Ia the
only principle Of cohesion. III
surest way to prevent the dist
: tegration Of the Republican part
is to keep the question alive and 90
/, tinue to force it upon the count
| as political issue. The Democra
]. can become q majority only
drawing of some Republican vot'
!, but on the negro issue the Rcpub

as heed the timely advice given in 7

ii now close at hand. We ask
al Southern Democrats, both fcr tn
y sake and for ours, to put no obsta
