The Richmond Wing, leading Demo-
cratic organ, eonfronts the party with a
somewhat blunt inquiry. It wants to know
whether the Democracy can afford to use
tactics of the Hamburg and Mississippi
sort in order to make sure Of the doubtful
Southern States, and lose, in consequences,
all Of the doubtful Northern Statesf It is
an embarrassing dilemma for great re
form party to be placed in.

If the Southern Democrats are really IN
earnest in denOuneing the course Of the
whites at Hamburg, S. c., why don't they
string up the ringleaders, who sre well
known and boast Of their bloody work? A

G. Butler, the chief Of the gang, who is
one Of the old Ku Klux leaders, and who
is boasting now that the affair at Hamburg

he IS supported by a considerable portion
Of the Democratic press. A few papers
however, have been rash enough to con
denim the whole proceeding as cowardly
brutal and inhnman massacre Of defence
less men. Between these two factions tn
rank and file Of the Democracy can hsrdl,
tell where it stands. It win be able t
gather some information on this point il
