THE SOUTHERN VOTE.
Democratic Ascendency Due AltogethS
to Fraud and Intimidation.

Democratic Ascendency Due Altogether
to Fraud and Intimidation.
According to what the Alabamians
humorously call "official'' returns
their State gave Cleveland 1880
votes and Harrison 57,197. In 1884
the men who fix up the figures down
there said that Cleveland had 1878
and Blaine SO, 144 1t would not have
been generous to give Harrison as
many votes as Blaine, but probably
there were bets on a Democratic ma
jority of 10000 and they had to be
cared for. In 1860 there were in the
State 141, 461 white and lis, 423 colored
voters. The number of each has in
creased and the blacks have gained
proportionately as much as the whites.
Why, then, as all the colored men are
staach Republicans, did not Harrison
get at least 10000 votes? Because it
was not safe for the Confederates to
allow him to do so. Not only would
fair election have lost them several
congressman, but it would have cost
them the State. There are enough
white Republicans united with the col
ored men to take Alabama out of the
Democratic column. That this is
the case, and that what Republican
votes arc cast arc those of whites
or blacks living in counties where
the whites are in the great ma
jority, is shown by glance at two
of the Congressional districts In
the Eighth, in the extreme Northern
part of the State, the white popula-
ton exceeds the eolored 5000.
There, in 1886, the Republicans east
for Congressman $500 votes. In the
Third district, where the colored men
are $1,000 ahead, they were not al
lowed to make a contest and cast no
votes at all. To attempt to break up
such system as this, and to restore

to the majority of tho people Of the
State the rights of which they are de-,
prived by a tyrannical and lawless
minority, is denounced as tending to-
interfere with "our peaceful rela-
tions with our Southern brethren,%
and as ian interference with the
great right of local self-government."
1t is not surprising that the colored
voters, who still stand in the shadow
Of centuries of servitude, should put
up with these outrages thus tamely,
but it is little singular that the white
Republicans should be so submissive.
Some of them were among the men
who charged at Shiloh and Gettys-
burg, and they can not be accused of
a lack Of physical bravery. They
seem, however, to lack the moral
courage which Northern men would
show under similar circumstances.

TERRITORIAL SUFFRAGE.
Judge Greene Of Washington Territory on
the Equal Suffrage Law.

Il
Judge Greene Of Washington Territory OF
the Equal Suffrage Law.
| whether or not women shall bt
voters in this Territory, Congress has
l understand it, committed to the PEG
pie of this Territory to determine fol
themselves. Such is the plain import
OF the language of the Territorial Or
ganic Act. For purposes Of the first
election, Congress in that act expressly
| limited the exercise OF suffrage to
males, but in the same breath provided
that at subsequent elections the qualifi-
cations of voters should, subject to
certain limitations which have no rela-
ton to sex, be as the legislature should
prescribe. The recent equal suffrage
law OF our legislature was and is in my
opinion, q valid law. Iregard it at
present as a law in force in this Terri
tory. Notwithstanding the decision Of
our Territorial Supreme Court to the
contrary. That decision expect the
Supreme Court of the United States
to reverse, if ever it gets opportunity.
Although the comprehensive question
in the suffrage case, lately before our
Supreme Court, was: Can, under ex-
listing Territorial legislation, the women
of Washington Territory voteP' The
main and much more interesting and
higher question was: Have the peO-
pie of Washington Territory the power
to make law which will secure to
woman a vote?' The former is a
question of the particular freedom
OF citizens of the female sex.
The latter is a question of the general
freedom of the people of Washington
Territory, male as well as female.
Each question, inasmuch as it touches
the liberties of the citizen, both in his
or her rights as subject and preroga-
tives as sovereign, is one upon which
an American public is peculiarly sensi-
tive, but the latter question arouses
deeper concern because it is more plain
ly seen and felt to involve in a men,
acing manner, two exceedingly precious
rights, namely, the right of people to
make for themselves laws which affect
simply their locality, and the right of a
people to a substantial and potent
representation in the making of every
law which affects their locality, which
rights are the two most fundamental
principles in the whole structure of
American free institutions, principles
deeply enshrined in every liberty-loving
heart, and for which has been waged
every struggle and achieved every
victory for liberty in the history of
mankind. Every sound judicial de-
cisiOn that has ever been rendered in
volving either of these principles has
interpreted and construed the law iber-
ally in favor of the liberty of the sub
ject. citizen or people and strictly as
against every curtailment Or limitation
of it. Should l be delegate, purpose
to use my best endeavors to have Con-
gress confirm the will of the people of
Territory as reiterated in
their equal suffrage statutes"

Up, play thy part!
Strive, and not rest!
Rest here below is none.

Angels look on.
Yet not in dark,
Nor wholly sad thy way;
But here in sunny meadows,
There over cast with shadows,
So runs our day.

Fife felt that she was insulted, but

who had been to the butchers to pay
his weekly bill, and was returning with
a pair of chickens, dangling by their
long, yellow legs from his right hand,
and paper of sausages in his left.
The mean little man bowed and
smirked at his customer, took no notice
of Effie, and hurried home to tell his

adults, made Main street appear quite
