Commenting upon, the White
League organization in this State
IS a "Desperate Expedient," the
Galveston Maos, leading DEMO-
'artic paper Of the South West as
# Texas, says:
t'The desperate nature of the. plan of
be White League is very e'id>nt. In
tead Of proposing to divide tho black
ote and form a union Of tax-paying
'hites and blacks in a common hostility
, misgoyernment, oppression and rob-
cry, it proposed to prescribe politically
ne whole body Of negroes! This is in the
zee of the constitutional provisions,
ederal and State, which expressly guar r
ltee to those people the elective fran =
aise. Whatever catastrophes may ensue, !
is pretty certain that this right of the I
hicks will rever be nulliied by any T
lrect and categorical aggression upon it, F
lch as seems to be contemplated by this ]
mite League" %| = g
