woman of peculiar character, and spent
her tire in religious exercises, knitting and

sounds well, but a little reflection will con-
vince Mr. Cleveland that it is utterly impos-
sible for him to accomplish what be prom
ises. One advantage that the negro is enti-
tied to under the Constitution and the law
is the privilege of voting as his conscience
dictates and OF having his vote counted.
President Cleveland will not have the power,
and ninety-nine one-hundredths of his party
would object to his exercising it even If he
had 1t, of securing this advantage to the
Southern black man. He will have no more
power in this direction than Republican
Presidents have had before him, and Repub-
lican Presidents have not been able to pro-
tect the negro On election day from force
and fraud practised upon him by the South
ern white man. The notion which is being
cultivated by the Democratic and Indepen-
dent press that under Cleveland's admins
tration everything is to be lovely at the
South, and an era of good feeling between
the whites and blacks is going to dawn, and
the black man is no longer to be deprived of
his political rights, 10 all nonsense. Greater

the elections will probably all be peaceable
beyond precedent, not for the reason, how
ever, that the negro will have secured his
political rights and have therefore no ground
OF complaint. but because he will have be-
come convinced that any attempt to secure
them would bs futile. The close of Presi-
dent Cleveland's administration will leave
the South as solid as its beginning finds it.
