How do the people Of the North

ed in the following letter printed in
the Memphis ApDlanche. The letter
is published without one word Of dis
approval, but with the apparent ap-
probation of the editor:
The fact Is, before we can expect
the prosperity Of the good old days
before the war in the South, we must
have the same homogeneity of public
sentiment. AS regards questions re.
lating to the negro, we must have but
one party, and that the Democratic
party. White men who dare to ayow
themselves here as Republicans
should be promptly branded as the
bitter and malignant enemies Of the
South. The name Of every Northern
man who, like Eaton and Bigelow
presumes In this community to aspire
to Office through Republican votes
should he saturated with stencil. W.
can spare all such, and would caution
such as these who think Of coming
South to be careful to keep away.
i You, Mr.. Editor, must hang OH
again your smallpox flag and rid on
