southern question one OF them bearing
a. an emblem the bloody shirt, and
the other An olive branch.
Mr. Blaine says, in his letter OF ac-
ccptancr. that "Prciudioes have yielded
and are Y Gliding. while growing cor
dialDty warns the Southern and the
Northern heart alike "Can any one
doubt he continues, "jhut between
the sections confidence and esteem arc
to day more marked than at any per cd
in the sixty years preceding the election
OF Abraham Lincoln"' senator Logan
not onl, doubts, but denies, Tor he de-
clarrS that "the disagrecabe fact OF the
ease is that. while theoretically we are

the country regards them as exception

impartial invest CATION has shown these
results Democratic victories to follow
the systematic exercise OF physical in
timidation and violence, cOnjOiu"d with
the most shameful devices ever prac-
ticed in the name OF free elections.
