Summit Times.
We regret extremely the acciden
tai detention which prevented our
arrival at Magnolia in time to hear
our veteran friend, Colonel Singles
toms entire address. When we ar
IIved he had nearly concluded, and
had reached the financial legislation
by Congress in favor of the bonds
holder, and the action of the Demo-
cratic party in their efforts TO in
crease the volume Of money, show.
ing that the ou!y hope of relief was
in the undivided Democratic patty,
that no possible good could come
from the GTeenbackers on account
of their Insignificant numerical
strength, etc. He reviewed the ve-
toes by Mr.. Hayes, and the great
effort made by the Democratic party
to protect the ballot from the bayO-
net and the U. S. Malshals, and in
closing reviewed the constitutional
method of electing the President
and said he could not vote for the
ELECTORAL Commission Bill. He
wanted to pursue the old path. He
was bound by his own conscience
aud his oath to support the COnsti-
tuition. He could not yield, though
tht Democracy stood 167 to 10. II
his father had come up from the
sainted dead, if an Archangel had
come down from Heaven to counsel
him, he would not have yielded.
He thought his colleagues had acted
conscIentiously in voting for the
bill, and honestly. He closed with
a strong appeal for the unity of the
Democracy as the only hope of the
cOHahtry in the great fight for free
ballot and financial reform.
Take it all in ali, it was strictly
Conservative Democratic address,
and cue hich we could in the main
endorse most heartily, the only im-
pOrtant point i'm which we differ
being In the matter last touched on
The ELECTORAL Commission, and
on his sSlI jet. our old and esteem
ed friend is endorsed by the great
mass of people in this section of
the State. Col. Smglet on met with Il

The Lssson cf the Election.

Now ehat siAe baltic II over ARD
the noke OF the conflict is fast
bl1wing away, it behOoveS us Ia
take !, calm and dispassiorate view
of the situation and determine what
LESSONS we must draw from the re
suits. Among O'her things, the
cclnrrd man mnst learn that the
daIk ,iayS of negro rn! shall never
return with it's terrible blight upon
this county. No matter what the
cost may be ne white people are
deter mined that the negro element,
allied with and led on by a few
scheming white men, shall never
~gian control the political affairs of
Madison county. It may as we'll be
understood that he who seeks to
foist himself into Office by appeals
to negro prejudice is politically
damned forever.
From the result of this election
the white people of this county may
learn that In. ir political destiny is
in their own hands, and that by
divisions aiming themselves they
may WELD it for irrctrievable woe
whereas, bv unity and a decided
stand, they can shape their future
for incaIculabie poll ical. veal
The poor deludrd negroes should,
end doubtless will, learn from the
fact that no man of their color was
elected to any legislative or other
Office Of Importance, that they
should give mp their idea OF ally ing
themselves with every thing that is
in Of position 10 the Democratic>
Conservative patty. They should
understand that if they desire a
- vision of the Offices, they can on
secure it by identifying them
selves with The Democratic party.
Let hem determine that in the
future. they viii not vote ticket
without knowing whose name is on
las We heard many say they were
doing i'll the late election. Let
them realize that it is the height OF
folly to allow themselves to be
pushed TO the polls ssiike dumb
driven cattle by any man who pro-
claims himself opposed to every
.t.inn D..,,...,t.<.
Ii the colored people will but un-
aerstand from this election that the
Democratic party has the political
coutrol OF this county and State,
aud that it will be wise for them in
the future to act with that party, (
'l;ep The election will have been !
tranght with great good to them
but il they will not heed but con-
Time to rush headlcng in their OPP
position to the white people, upon
their own hess4ls will he the conse-
quences of their folly.
The Democratic party must see
that there are those who are watch. |
ing their course with great eager
NESS to take advantage of any miss
Steps or unfeFtuna.e divisions. We
rrnsf therefore that all dessensions
will be healed, all animOsities recon-
eiie,l, and.tiiat our ranks will be
