Cable said at banquet given to him bv the
Lincoln Club, of Connecticut, that he had
not changed his residence from the South
| to the North, because in the face of his
writings, the South was not a congenial

noisy portion of the South as he styled
his critics, wanted him to confess that the
truths he had uttered concerning the col
ored race were held by him alone, when
the fact was he had only spoken the mind
of many thoughtful men of the South.
Amid all the protestation and condemna-
ton that have come to him there have
come many words of encouragement and
cheer from all parts of the South. The
| men who think with him are not few.
| They have learned that the freedman is
| protected by his ballot and could not be
! protected without it. They have learned
| that with the ballot education is a neces-
sity.
