NEGRO D1sFRANcuIsEMENT.
onioial Figures Showing the Extent of
the Southern Election Frauds.


Mr. Edward Mcpherson, secretary Of the
Republican congressional committee, has
sent the following letter to Senator Platt
On the suppression of the colored vote in
the south:
WASHINGTON, n. C., oct %, 1SS6.-.MY DEAR
SIR; have given your inquiry ns to the eN-
tent to which the figures show that there Is
suppression Of the cnlorcd vote In the southern
states, a classification Of the vote by cOngrts.
sional districts in 1876 and IN 1851 Will snow
the net result in shape which WILDE nt once
mot compact aud most comprehensive. ln-
Cluding Delaware, Maryland aud West Virginia
with the northern states, we have this result
ns TO the late slave statcs In 1876 their average
CisliiCt vote ON Congress was 2iJOl In 1881
their average district vote on Congress wt2
2?,WO. This shows decreased vote In the
bght years of ovcr6 per cent. III the other
alCsul the Union there was during TINS
period IN increased vote of about II p9r cent
lhusj u Ter cent, represents the average sup
preston.
In the gul states the wrong Is more marked
rs II Is more general and severe. Take, for in
stance, Alabama, Mississippi and South Caro-.
l limo, The average in Alabama fell from l9.6iS
spri tell from u 1865 in 1876 to 1T2sO in lsSl
The average IN South Carolina fell from 3Ili0
III lS'G to l2,73g In ISL The average ltll in
thCsc three states Is from 2S12t in 1876 to l5, 1916
~ 1854, or within fraction of6J per cent.
The average district vote in the northern states
rose from 30 1866 In 1S7Gto 49,, al in 1891 or II per
cent, II requires In the north an average OF
1858 votes TO carry district IL requires In
the gulf states named an average Ot7GlO to
carry district. A voter in these states has,
thus, double the electoral and representative
pow Ner Oft voter In the northern states, ms the
direct result of this suppression of the vote.
This Is the precise sort OF equality Of rights
and powers which Democratic election prao-
tees have produced, to which the Democrat tic
| party owes It's supremacy. and which. there
| fore, II has vital interest In maintaining.
am very respectfully.

the parental idea is confessed TO give them
what Is conventionally regarded as genteel
appearance. No one thinks child ought to
be protected from the weather, so far as its
hands are concerned. On the contrary, it is
recognized that the upper eKtremities should
be kept warm by exercise and habitual
exposure. Precisely the same view holds
good with regard to the lower ex-
tTemitieS. Contact with bodies that alb
Sract heat, even more than the earth alb
straCts il, is an almost constant condition of
childiife. In short, it Is entirely in defer
ence to fashion and the usages of society
that children wear foot coverings There i
much to be said in favor OF more natural
practice. The foot Is an organ of YOndrous
completely, regarded rs bony and mUscu-
lar apparatus. 1t is. moreover provided
with nerves and blood vessels OF especial in
tricacy. The Softest and most flexible shoe
to a very great extent and boot almost en-
t;reiy, reduces this organ to the character of
Z jOinted block with little self-mOye-
ment obviously this reduction must de-
tract not only from the efficiency OF
the foot. but of the organism as a whole. If
the blood vessels of the foot and leg are fully
developed, as they can only be when the foot
: habitually exposed the quantity OF blood
which the lower extremities can be made to
receive and, if need be, attract for time. is
very considerable. We can only say that
children who are allowed to 60 barefoOte1
enjoy almost perfect immunity from the dan
ger OF "cold" by accidental chilling of the
feet, and they are altogether healthier and
happier than those who. in obedience to the
usases of social life, have their lower ex-
tremitieS permanently invaded, and, soto
say, carefully swathed and put away in rigid
cases. As regards the poorer classes of
children, there can be no sort OF doubt in
the mind of any one that it is incomparably
better that they should 60 barefOoted than
wear boots that let in the wet and stockings
that are nearly always damp and foul.

GEN. FITz LEES INDIAN FIGHT

of his own exploits, and his most intimate
