ans say, Of this movement. The
latter are working earnestly to So
cure smigrants from this country.
A number VI documents and statis-
taos have been prepared to this en- )

Tke Southern Republican Politi-
i. clans Have Had Their Day.


The Republican politicians of the
South have had their day. Opportuni-
ties were given them such as cume to no
man twice in a lifetime. A most glo-
rious and most solemn trust was com
mitted to them when the task of recon
struction was placed in tn cir hands and
all the power of the United States put
forth to sustain them. How have thew
Inet that trust? For years their power
has been absolute. Where have they
produced good government They have
been tried, With rare exceptions they
have failed disgracefully. Even the few
who have tried to 90 their best have been
swept away by the current, have allied
themselves with known piunderers in
order to secure party success, and have
! no chance whatever to hold place or in
| aueBce save by connection with a poIiti-
cal combination which has maie itself a
curse to State in whichsit exists and
disgrace to the Republican RaIife.a --l4
