WHICH SIDE OF THE FENCE
"What side would Warmoth be forced to take :"
asked the HERALD man.
"rhere would be no middle ground in case Of .
revolt and Warmoth would be compelled TO go
against the negro, although he IS q candidate for
negro votes. Another opinion which has gained
currency throughout the State Is, that as soon a.
Governor Kellogg leaves Tor the north Lieutenant
Governor Antoine will make all the appointments
just as Dunn did when Warm0th was away. Tho
white population would like to see IL, because 1t
would bring spit OF the Republican party. They
are watching the state OF affairs with great care,
and, as said, believe the crisis will come about
September"
"Where Will Pinchback stanu ~
"PmchDack is now prominent among the conserv-
alive element. The general opinion Is that War
moth still has Plnchback with MIN In opposition
to Kellogg. 1t prevails to such an extent that
many conservatives VINO would not speak to an
ordinary negro take PinchDack Dy the hand be-
cause they believe he hates their common enemy
