FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT The procla-
nation of the Fifteenth Amendment is very
prudently delayed, in order to be quite sure
about its ratification. There win be four
doubtful States in all /; that is, four States
the validity OF whose ratification Democrats
will dispute, if not now, before very long,
and it would certainly be well to do without
them, if possible There are, for instance,
disputes about the certificates of New York
and Indiana, and doubts whether the ratifi-
cation of Georgia and Texas can be deem
ed valid until those States have been de-
clared eligible for readmission into the I'm
ion by Congress. So the President declares
that he will not issue the proclamation till
these are admitted. There will then be
the needful twenty eight States without
New York or Indiana, in the former of
which the Legislature claims the right to
withdraw the ratification, and in the latter
the Democrats Withdrew, when the amend
ment came up for discussion, in order not
to leave quorum, and maintain that they
