never hear of Ku-klux again. (Applause.) Let

pet. .baggers?" he said, the South is ignorant,
poor and ruled by departing barbarism, yet

political power out of these pitiful babies.

up arms again they will stop at no
constitutional restrictions or State lines, but put
the South under the heel of military despotism.
