" problem, the one which has given the
q most anxiety and been the cause Of

lowed to vote when they were first set
free, have changed permanently"
These facts show that formidable move

publican party 10 take away from the
colored race the privilege OF voting, and
that their protection in Its enjoyment de
ponds upon the Democratic party.

TIE State Convention next week
promises to be largely attended and
thoroughly representative of the eople.
There will be many disappointments
from the nature of things, because there
are numerous candidates for every office
and but one to be chosen for each, but
the determination of every aspirant and
all their supporters, Is to abide the de-
cision of the Convention and to support
the nominees with enthusiasm. Every
true Democrat carries in his bosom the
feeling eff my man is not nominated
g some other coed man will be, and
when the choice of the majority is as
g certained, he is my choice whoever he
- may be-" Take the gubernatorial nom
ination for example. There is not one of
the gentlemen prominently mentioned for
the distinction who is not worthy of the
place, and whose selection would not be
acclaimed with shouts of approval by the
people from Tennessee to the Seashore,
from Alabama to the Mississippi river
whether lie be Featherston or Walthall,
Stone or Lowry, Humphreys or Percy.
Either is worthy to be entrusted with the
banner whose folds are radiant with the
enduring principles OF justice and equal
rights.
