odee Thurman said the issue raised by 1
Mr.. shermao 10 dangerous one 70 the /
business and the prosperity Of the l
American people. and the effort 20 4
bios into flames the dying enbers of
civil strife, should be dlsozned By all
loyal people.
The speaker next proceeded to answer
The arguments Of Mr. Sherman con-
esrping the grievances Of condition of 4
the oelsred race in the South, claiming /
that they were new in the snJoyTnsnt /
Of greater prosperity and greater civil /
rights than were ever enjoyed on this 1
globe by an equal number of this race.
he sdded. the prosperity Of that section
10 1875, xsen the Democrats came into l
control, Aod radical rule and csfpet bag /
ceased, AZ tbe end of ten 1
years IL cannot be safely affirmed that 1
there IL NOT an Industry in the South /
bat 10 more prosperous THAI it ever was 1
in that region. until nov they have in 4
many lines of manufacture become /
rivals of mills of the Eastern States /
The speaker skeiched briefly the manner
ous enterprises and tie development Of /
the South, tbs schools for cslored yoGth, /
the eontt ntment which exists among I
the colored people and the fact that 1
they have not migrated 10 any Of the 1
old free States. All this proved they /
we're not disseminated. murdered aud I.
deprived of their rights, - limited by /
Sherman and other Republican orators. ]
The colsred man seemed 20 prefer Inv ne /
With white men 10 the South. although /
they be Democrats, TO dseliIng IN she
tents Of the radicals, even though they /
be saints. Ii was argued that all these /
things could not be 30 " the negroes of /
the south we're in tie state Of wretch
edness which has besn 80 often asserted |
JadRe Thurman quoted al length |
from the tenth oepsas Of 1880 statistics |
IN proof Of the assertions which be had |
made. The principal pois; was that
the coiorc& pcepfs are In the majority |
IN bat two of the Southern States
soath Carolina and Mississi9pi-and |
be confined bis argument 20 tie cen us !
Of those tvo States The object il 1
these figures was apparently to show /
the depression in all values for tae /
periods covered by Republican rule. I
and the advance in all material utter |
ests under Democratic government. |
After disposine of the wilderness Of /
figures in regard 10 the condition of /
south Carolina, the speaker summed up /
by saving: In short, everything that |
feeds or clothes the negro in that State |
Is within his reseh TO q degree be never
knew before. Once more put 70 you,
,oald this sc the ease il south Carolina
IL IN the lavless condition that radical
speakers represent 10 No. my fellow
,itizens. this continued stream Of pros
perity under Dsmscratic rule proves
hat 10 10 benefssnt, and the quiet that
prevails in that State proves that the
people OF all classes are contented under
heir government"
Judge Thurman denied the assump-
ion Of Senator Sherman that all color
ID voters in the south are Republican,
md would vote that ticket II not ter.
'orized. He said. ''If 10 we're true il
xould be serious question, as a people

quoted a. length from letter printed
10 the Cincinnati EHqsarer, Of Septem-
Der 2lst, from r. N. Davis. of Colam
eis, 3. O.. which gave brief history Of
he carpet bse Rovernment Of that
state. He hoped that every one in the
Audience would read IL in full.
