with few dcluded republicans:
civ ".Alt ihe sro'strl hope npd believe hat
onri political orlrcssions will cease very
shortly after the inauguration of the
next President. Ta1f tliat President be
dtntciat, it is reasonably certain that Il
majority of 10th houses of congress will
also be democrats. or at least conscrva T
,tivesy H9so, the recons'rution actsywill
sec tdily be repealed, which would leave
suffrage where it consti,utionally be-
longs-undcr control Of the States.
Then, admitting the cocrcel amend.
Elcnls Of the c"nf titution to be valid, the
States could attach u property quail lica-
tien to suffrage, without Violating those
an elidments, which would practically
destroy negro suffrage rs Ii disturbing
