Of the States in which the Republicans
have politically been stamped out in
blood. The means made use Otto make
II solid for the Dsmocracy were severe
and bloody, but suOh means were ne
csssary to turn the scale in State
where the Republicans were in such q

in the name Of reason, justice and hu.
maDity, what became of Grants heavy
majorities in 1868 and 1872, and Hayes
vote nearly $4,000 in 1876! The an-
swsr comes up to US from hundreds Of
bloody graves in that semi-barbarous
State; suppressed by the rife clubs in
blood and terrorism and fraud.
twill do no harm to take cursory
glance at the State Of Mississippi where
IN 1867 the registered vote was, colored
