the GOSPEL or HATE THE TABLES
TURNED.

TURNED.
Ooo Of the strongest means used
by The republican party, 10 perpeluale
rs baleful reign in tho south, was
the proud arrogance Of her dominant
pooplo and their readiness 10 resort TO
violence in order 10 carry q point, on
10 nyonpo wrong roal or lnnoied.
Under thoskillflI manipulotions Of the
hty Oaou order Of party leaders the
Ku(ux, White Leagues, and other
shsdowY organizations, became the
blood.stainod outlaws, 10 throttle and
destroy whom, was the peculiar duty
and holy mission OF not only the
republican party, but the government
Of the United States, without any
national representation, or rather by
misrepresentation in congress at the
hands Of the carpct,bag delegates from
the north, the south WAS helpless and
powerless to meet the charge Bitter
and calling as il was, we were forced
to bow to il until returning reason
reenlranchised tho worth and the
Intelligence of our section Then the
balclul Kullux, and other terrible
organizations Of avengers, melted away
like frost work before the sun, Good
and honest people at the north really
did believe that tho southern rulers
and representative men were banded
together in these organizations for
the purpose Of numbering inno~
cent negroes and helpless and
unprotected white republicans, TO
such an extent did it go that one half
the strength of the army was distribuN
ted through the south to protect them
BY every means at her command the
pale bleeding, suffering south protested
her innocence, but these priests Of the
gospel Of hate had the ear Of the gevs
eminent, and our cries came not up be,
fore the ruler, or if so coming were to-
tally disregarded
Time moved on, The angry passions
turned loose by the war died out, or
soitened Glimpses of the true state of
things here, from time to time, were
had by the lairer, more liberal and more
intelligent of the northern people Our
people were rcendowed with the elcc~
tive franchise. The united voice Of
the solid south went up to the federal
head, and its breathngs disobliged the
bloodyshrt leaders of the republicans
because they could no longer lead the
people after their eyes were opened
Too many good people at the
north had learned to take n fair
view of the situation, and too many Of
these men with their eyes newly open,
ed acted with the rebel and copper
head democracy and the result was,
that open and radically lcgali2ed fraud
alone was able to cheat and deiraud |
the democracy out OF a hard earned
and fairly encompossed victory The
fraud detected president himself, lib.
eral, humane and patriotic man, has
kicked from under him the reellinc |
platform of hate, by which he mounted |
to power. This has all been too much |
for the Mortons, Blaines and Buffers of |
the north and their weaker southern
reilcctors Ordinations, rccrimina-
tions, storms and tempests in the re-
publican party all over the nation is
.he early and logical result. Division
after division has already been announ-
,ed Convention after convention has
split on the proposition to endorse or
'epudiate the policy of President
Hayes. This state OF things is rapidly
getting mo better
In the south Chamberlain flies, KEEL,
ogg dies politically, Moses goes to jail
Davis CRASHES his teeth and incites his
ren2ied followers to such acts of vio-
ence, as that, which, only the other
lay, drenched the streets of Austin
With the blood of iellow.republcan,
holding high and honorable office un-
Ter the government, and discharging
Is duties faithfully and honestly, we
'erily believe
Truly are the tables turned, and at
he rate the republican party is now
,oing on at the south soon there will
70 mono so poor as to Nv it honor
Truth, virtue and justice will finally
Prevail, no matter how ciouded and
torm-thrcOtened their darkened path,
way may be for the time. God cares
or his creatures.

THE STATE OVER.
