THE REBEL ELEMENT
now controls that party in every Southern
State where alone it is secure IN It's political
disgrace of American civilization. IT VIII
eai strangely in American history that the
very men who waged an unsuccessful war
against the Union, " lao were tue cause OF the
loss Of 10000 men and 5000 millions OF treas
ure, are now so nearly in possession OF nearly
all the Government, AMI only want success IN
the elections next fall TO enable them 20 RUE
the Government they sought to destroy, and
to disregard and reverse all the guarantees
won by the Union armies with such cost If
they carry this election the rebellion of 1901
IS success; If they fail now the dominant
classes Of the South viii see that they must
submit to the equal rights of all classes, or
if they do not the courts and laws of the uni
ted States will maintain ami enforce these
rights. Upon this point there viii be no dlVis-
ION or hesitation among Republicans Every
citizen of the United States in the South, as
in the North, must be secure in the enjoyment
of civil and political rights and every power
of the National Government must be exer-
cised to his end. Loud and long-continued
applause
THIS ISSUE Is BROADLY DEFINED,
and the only question is. whe her it shall now
be settled once for all, or whether il shall by
ccaseless agitation continue to disturb our
politics The South never can and never

laboriug population l. held in subsection and

plainly given them by the Constitution. The
North is growing and the South viii be decay
ing until tnis is4ue IS settled, as all such Is
sues must be in Republic in favor of the full
protection by law of every persen in the en-
iovment of liberty and Justice. Next 20 the
Grm and judjcious enforcement of the law by
the courts, the best remedy in the South would
be the eucoura cement of common schools such
a are almost universal in the North. This
should be done as n matter of public policy,
both by the State and the National Govern
meut. Ii the eolored people Of the South We're
redeemed from Ignorance, caused by slavery,
il would be no more possible to overcome them
by KukIux kIans and tissue ballots than 1t
would be possible here in the North | say,
then, in conclusion, that the Republican party
i about to appeal to - American people TO
stand b tie policy that has secured ION pro

people equal civil aud political rights. Lee
the National Convention at Chicago, after full
consideration and without bias or preiud &c,

publican party, like well-drilled army, will
wheel into line and overcome The last vestlgeS
