the Convention would be naturally either

this number would be cast for bis ren0mina~

some large portion of the blacks; but
whether the other sections of the party
would support him depends upon his action

THE CIvIL-RIGHTs ELL
if il passes both houses next year. Should
he veto it, ii it is made to contain the school
clause, then think the remainder of the
Republican party and also the Liberals
would declare for him, but not otherwise.
Again, If he should not be renominated by
the Republican Convention, but should run
on an independent ticket, and provided he
vetoes the civil-rights bill, as alluded to
above, he will be supported by the Liberals
and Democrats of the South. My firm be-
lief is that he is seeking another term Of
office, and that he will eudeavOr to secure
the passage Of the bill without the school
clause, which would, think, satisfy all The
white people in the South and the blacks,
too, for the latter are we'll enough satisfied
with their schools now, and do not seek or
care to send their children to schools where
the whites are. In this event he would re-
ceive the support OF the Radicals and Lib
erals if renominated by the Republican
party, and If he concludes to run, as have
previously said, on an independent or
Democratic ticket, be would be mp.
held by the Liberals aud Democrats.
Should he not, however, prevent the school
clause from becoming part of the bill, he
would be opposed by all the whites of every
party, except BY those boiling offices under
his control and patronage. 1t must be re-
membered, too, that the amount Of power
he can bring TO bear, should be conclude 10
SEEK third term of Office, is exceedingly
great. and should not be underestimate.
To break the power and influence of the
Federal officials IN the South, who are pri-
marty the cause Of all our troubles, is one of
tue ends the whites have in view, for it is by
their means that al the corruption has been
brought about. They come down South,
get into office, stay few years, suddenly
become rich to the amount OF 100000 or
$500 900, and then go away, North or West,
leaving the State they go from thus much
the poorer. tell you, this has all got to be
corrected, and it will be, you wilis see. The
whites must have the upper hand OF the
ignorant negroes, and they will get 1t, too.
