SOUTH
NORTH

Now the Southern Democrats particularly
justified the allotment made upon the CEN
sus of four years ago, these figures showing
the vote for each repre- sentative Elector at
the recent election prove oonclusively not
only great inequality in citizenship, but
that thousands of votes in the five Southern
States were either suppressed or not count
ed. The census Of 1880 shows that there
were in these five Southern States 619, 9,O38
colored males over q years of age, and
only 623, 1892 white males over 81 years of
age. These five States would have unques-
tionably have gone Republican if a full and
fair vote had been polled, for in them are
thousands Of white Republicans.
We have not the figures Of the recent
Presidential election in these five Southern
States, but the total vote Of 1880 in them
was only 7O1 ,O6G, leaving Sal, 1854 votes
either suppressed or not counted. It takes
only 1901 votes in South Corolina to
choose an Electuor, when in Ohio 37371
are required. In other words a Rebel Dem.
ocrat in South Carolina, who fought foul
long years to destroy the Government, has
more than twice the political power in the
election of President than a Highland
county Union soldier, Who fought the foul
years to preserve the Government. This il
a reproach which the Gazette by itsapology
for the Solid South and defending and de
nying the frauds committed therein seeks
to fasten on patriotic citizens of Ohio and
the North. In the face of historic truths
clear as Holy Writ, the Gazette has the au
dacity to assert that the colored people ot
the South have equal enjoyment with the
whites in all their rights as citizens.

Henry MOeller. Of Moline, Suicides
Rather than Undergo the Pain of
Surgical objectionable
COrOneF's Inquest.

Henry Moeller, of Moline, aged IL
years committed suicide this morning al
| his home on Seventh avenue between
| Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, by shoot
ing himself in the head with 80 calibre
| Remington revolver. 1t seems that
young Moeler has been afflicted for the
past six years with very sore leg. About
| a wear ago he was taken to DR.. Peck, in
| Davenport, and the doctor removed
piece of the bone of the leg below the
knee 0ibia). The operation was very
| painful one for young Moeller and he was
heard to express himself to the effect that
he would rather die than submit to such
agony again.
He had been employed by a milkman
for some time and about month ago he
accidentally hurt his sore leg. 1t contin'
ucd to get worse and on Saturday he re-
turned to his home Yesterday his folks
told him they would take him to Daven'
port this forenoon 10 see if DR.. Peck
could do anything for him. They had
concluded that amputation of the leg
above the knee was about the only thing
that would save the life of the boy. To
this Henry objected and he brooded over
the intense suffering he would have tC
endure if Lis limb was amputated
At $50 o'clock this morning he arose
ard as his father was about to leave ful
his work at the Moline Wagon Cos
works, Henry shook hands with him
remarking good bye father, if dom
see you again before so to the doctor
1t had been previously arranged that his
mother should accompany him to Daven-

Not 30 Hungry as He Looked

A short time ago man of short stat
ure and slouchily dressed, stopped at the
Commercial hotel and attracted consider
able attention by his incessant talk abou t
one thing and another. Among other
stories he said that his grandmother had
recently died and left him 100000, and
as he was river man he proposed to buy
a pleasure boat and take a number of
friends to New Orleans to the worlds
fair. No credence was placed to his
story, and it was set down as the vagary
of mild crank. He disappeared and was
almost forgotten, when memory of him
was revived again today when a reporter
in conversation with river man, learned
that what the fellow said was true. His
name is Hall and he lives in La Crosse.
He was left large fortune by his aunt,
and he is now fixing up pleasure boat
at La Crosse, and in few days will pass
this city for New Orleans with a number
of boon companions as guests He in
tends to sell the boat when he gets to the
Crescent city.
