d no faith in Ames because he had

Nj. Harris says that when the fall cam.
paign opened no mar would so s%tultify

years, and Republicans were compelled
n to discuss men instead of measures, anG

ton of success. Mr.. Harris concludes
"We have q good constitution, but
l our legislation has been unwise and has
! given us much trouble, and this is the
point to which we have come. In the
light of the experience of other South
4 ern States, our party has rushed heed
less into the most shameful defeat.
"Now for the future, what is the
course? We want to carry this State
next fall in the Presidential election.
We cannot do it as we now stand. We
must have honest men in the front.
Those who have scuttled the ship OF
State must take a back seat. We must
have men in whose promises the people
can rely: men who will give character
and moral support to the party, other
wise the white people will be against
l us, and the colored people will never
again rally to us. We will be again de.
Ifeated, and the. architects of our ruin
will leave the State like rats leave f

We will endeavor to use our influence,
