One Of the staple Republican cries
Is that the South maintained its solidi-
~ against the Republican party be-
cause there Is not free and fair vote
in that section They assume that the
number Of colored votes in . Southern
State represents the number Of the Re-
publican votes. and that relatively
light vote Is indicative Of . suppression
OF Republican votes MI. Vest in the
United States Senate recently, showed.
BY comparison Of the vote with the
whole voting population In . number
OF specially-selected Southern and
Northern States. taking in the whole
range from the lowest to the highest
percentage Of vote to voting popula-
ton, the Southcrn States chosen OUT

States with which comparisons were
instituted A. Mr.. Vest explained.
the comparison was not wholly fair.

lican line Of argument Comparing

Northern and in Southern States. and
there IL an excess in favor Of the
former Of about six per cent
The fullness or want thereof Of the
vote IN any State, be 1t Northern or
Southern. depends upon the earnest
ness with which the political contests
In such State are waged. Michigan
was more hotiy contested in 1884 than
in 1880. and the vote in comparison to

larger in 1884 Ohio has voting pop

on eating IL himself and never grain

little fellow began to cry for the

the popcorn up in the rack out Of the
