That there is TO be war of races
IN the South, and is to-day for tina,
matter, we think we have proof that
will convince the most skeptical of I'm.
believers. The papers and leaders oil
the South are open in promulgatine
and disseminating their solutions and
horrible incentives, to murder and rob
the unoffending blacks of the South:
and not only that, but the white Re
| publlcans of the South also fall under
their murderous hands. Not a day
| passes, but some white or black is
made martyr to his political belief
Their murder is openly applauded
and encouraged, as will be seen from
the following extract from a New Or,
leans paper 'ln the impending war
of races it behooves Democrats to pro
tect themselves by any means IN their
power, and deliver their votes IN a
new style without waiting for election
day." This extract is but one OF the
many. The entire Southern press are
daily expressing their appreciation OF
such horrible, wholesale Strengthening
of innocent men and women. This is
not the worst phase of the case, either.
The Northern Democracy are in open
sympathy with that of the South.
Even Charles O'Conor, the Bourbon
candidate for the Presidency, is being
lnterrogated as to his views on this
subject by New York Herad CORE

point out the obvious result, which
was "extirpation of the race, and con-

ments and outrages of the Southern
press and their murderous accom-
plices, together with the sympathizing
sentiments as expressed by their sym

and thus fill our entire paper, and then
not be near the end of this chapter of
horrors, but we will conclude with an
extract from the New York World, a
DemocI attic newspaper, on the Demo
cratic party: "If the Democratic party
be responsible for an impending war
of races in the South, it deserves to
be destroyed forever; to be trampled
out of existence as the author of the
drest possible calamity that could be-
fall any people. If it can be shown
that the Democratic party has made,
we do not say frantic efforts, but any
effort whatsoever to widen the gaping
breach between the white people and
the negroes of the South, then we
will concede that the Democratic par
ty is no longer worthy of public con
fdence or of popular support"
