THE Democrats North and South
persist ia declaring that the Northern
Republicans have forced the bloody

face of quick coming reconciliation and
brotherly love. This is impudencc
pure and simple. Who put the whole

into red shirts? Who turned them
loose upon the negroes with yells and
fusilades? Did the Republicans do all
this? Who stuffed the South Carolina
ballot-boXes with 40, 900 bogus Dem
Ocratic majority? The Republicans?In
order to "redeem South Carolina from
rnisgovernment" was it necessary to
have a solid Democratic delegation to
