The suppressed voters in Georgia numbered
ct the last election for Congressman 65, 766.
while the entire Democratic vote %, 666.
1t does not appear from these figures that the
Republicans of Georgia had joined the Demo-
Gratis. The same suppression occurs in other
Southern States, notably Alabama, Arkansas
and Mississippi. suppression without parallel
in any other country claiming to be
free. At the last election in Indiana the
average total vote required to elect

Lakgsdaie then detailed the numerous incidents
of laudation and tribute to the old Southern
leaders which outraged patriotism and showed
the spirit that brought about the civil war to be

said, are portentous. It is left to the South to
choose which horn of the dilemma it will take.
