COZ. ALFRED NJ. NyADDELL.

The accounts that we have received
from time to time, of the canvass be-
tween Colonel Waddell and Mr.. Neill
Mckay have been of the most en-
couraginS character.
Once before beaten in a square
stand-up fight, Mr.. Neill Mckay en-
tered the present campaign hacked
and beaten man. The load ho had
to carry was one that better and an
ADLER man might stagger and faint
and fall by the waysile Ander, with
out any special disparagcment to his
manhood.
The fact is that no living white man
could stand mp before the white peo-
pie of this district with the infamy
of civil rights and social equality
stamped upon him. Mr.. Nei!l Mckay
knew this and i'll consequence thereof,
he denied that any such infamy was
attached to him. But what sane man
in this whole district believed his de-
NAL was worth anything? Not one,
we venture to say. Every Intelligent
man knows Mr.. McKay's party-the
negro pnrty-was i'll favor OF civil
rights and knows further that every one
of the handful of white men III that
party is obliged to obey the orders
of it's overwhelming negro majority.
1t is apparent that in every quarter
of the district the whito people have
risen in their might aud intend to
squelch forever the internal attempts
now being made to reduce them to a
level with negroes. The hand writing
is upon the wall, and the fatc of the
negro party is sealed and its doom
fixed.
Mr.. NeiI Mckay, after going around
the whole of the district, announced
that from Wednesday he would no
longer meet Colonel Waddell He has
had enough Of him. Is 1t not q little
strange that -I,'. McNeiU Mckay, ac/sO
has been boosting his opposition to
the CioH Rights Gill in those counties
in the district aUhere achite men are in
the majority, shOuld fail to come tO
time Just as he approaches Neao HIM.
oue, aOhere the negroes are IN the ma
jority Is he afraid to assert his
opposition to Civil Rights where ne
groes can hear him But no matter
what the reason may be, it is sufficient
to know that Mr.. Mckay has enough
rof Colonel Waddell.
His Honor Judge Russell, as well as
Mr.. Neill Mckay, feels the force of
the storm this Civil Rights business has
raised, and finds it necessary TO evade
it.. And accordingly he got Mr..
Mckay to tell the people on Wed
nesday that he he too was opposed to the
Civil Rights bill! Bat what if he is op-
posed to the particular civil rights bill
now pending before Congress ? What
difference does that make ? Why not
bit, for if his written opinion be cor
rect, as laid down in the Opera House
case where the negroes tried to get in
with the white people by violence,
there is no need for Congress to pass
any Civil Rights bill as the negroes have
now O right to go to every public place
a white man has a right to go to! lie
puts negro ci0H rights upon q higher
lu,O than any mere act Of Congress!
Let him deny then, as much rs he will,
that he is opposed to the Civil Rights
| bill now pending, J,tdge HusseH il q
| "civH r;ghtey" for all that so tong as
he holds to his Opera House O6iter
dictatm!
But what a striking contrast does
| the gallant WADDELL present to the
| woe-begone looking Mckay We do
not wonder that Mr.. Neill Mckay re-
tires ingloriously from the field, and
leaves his competitor to walk over the
course without further interference.
| Colonel WADDELL represents the
white mans party and Mr.. Neill Nc
Kay represents the negro party. 1he
aUhite men of the District hare opc'
| four thousand more pOters than tht
negroes hare! :,
White men, the victory is yours il
you desire it. Will you have 1t p? l.
