places of the Democrats whose
terms expire in 1881. These, with
one other, would again throw the
Senate into their hands, and right
there is tho secret ofthcir desperate
fight TO keep Kellogg in his seat.
Sinceitis pretty certain that McDon-
aid will 10 returned from Indiana,
they dare not lose Kellogg. 1t is q
a scheme Of forciblc elections such
as this that the people Of those
States must meet ind defeat. It
is 4 desperate one, and the fight
will be bitter and rcmorGoless to
the end"
"Yet the South will not be disin-
torcstsd in the rcsult?'
"By no means; for should The
Republican schem9rs succeed in
this consnirocy and create a solid
North, giving them the Presidency
and Congress once more, then the
troubles of the South will begin
anew. Their first movement will
be TO cut Off the representation of
the South, and she never will again
be allowed to appear in Congress in
her full strength and with her real
weight, This is tho danger which
menaccs tho South and which will
keop her united to defeat so bold
and unscrupulous plot"
"yYhat do YOU think Of the last
veto by tho President?n
at was expected and is absurd.
Tho reasons assigned by him for
yotoing the bill are triHiuc, The
idea that this bill repcals the lcgis-
lstion Of 1870 and 1902 is the vori-
est nonsense"

for without his cooperation all
they did was emptiness. They
had 10 have him, and it is said that
he ha. even been told that TO Join
with them would be to solidify the
party, identify him as its great
leader and make him the party
candidate of next year,
"Do YOU really think he looks to

II do. You sec he held tie
