aud majority Of them cannot pay that tax
Of 50 10 50, aud consequently they will not be
allowed TO vote unless they pay it. The shot.
gun will not be used this year. il will be mot
paid your pol.tax yet aud you cans vote
hero" 1t is tho same principle involved,
namely: The negro shall not have his vote.
Tho rights of the negro, as prescribed In the
fifteenth amendment to tho constitution, are
spurncd and ignored and in the south they
are to-day in worse condition than in the
days Of slavery and who is to hlsme for it2
The answer is short aud plain, viz; The party
who seeks TO place Winfield s. Hancock in the
executive chair aud that party is tho rebol

and wise counselor
As member Of the association which is re-
ported tohayo adopted the foregoing resolution,
| wish to state that no such meeting was ever
held, and that the sentiments therein prUmul-
gated are not those OF N IjOtity of the ASSOC
citation. IL Is weak attempt on tho part Of
Mr., Kennedy, the secretary Of the association
aud publisher Of the Iclcfte, to give to his
own peculiar views tho force and impress OF
the vory respectable body ho 50 grossly mis-
represents. General Donyer was not in the
city, and possesses TOO much character 70 lend
himself to proceeding SO Infamous. No no.
tice Of any such meeting WAS scnt 10 tho
members. No regular meeting or special
meeting of which notice has been given, has
beon held since the unveilng of the Thomas
statue.
The fact Is that A. VI. Kennedy, Colonel Al
baush and one other met" and porpetrated
tho fraud, and IL is proper that tho response
bility should rest with them. Soldiers rs a
class, whether Of the late or old wars, know
too we'll the crookedness of the democratic
party to bo trapped, through the bait be an

terrible whirlwind passed over tho southeast

from southwest to northeast, and its path of
destruction was about one milo long and 200
rods wide. The ell part of George Files
house, newly built, was torn from its founda.
tion and completely wrecked. John Ramsey,
a carpenter at work inside, was buried in tho
debris. Mr.. Miner, a workman, saved
himself by jumping through an opening fur

narrowly escaped destruction. Trees
all along tho course Of the storm were torn up
by the roots. Largo branches were twisted
of and carried long distance, and fences are
scattered all over the fields A large elm,
two and a-half feet in diameter, was com
pletely stripped Of every branch, and the
trunk, now standing. sixty feet high, from
which branches u foot in diameter were
| twisted and carried away, shows the irressti-
bic force of the tornado. Had its course been

village tho loss of life must have been con-
| siderable, and the loss Of propGrty-aready v
| large-greatly increased. Nothing approach
| ing this storm in fury has ever been known in
