How Secretary Lamar Secured His Elec-
ton TO the U. $ Senate.
L.Q. C. Lamar's election was the
first fruit of the fraudulent and in
famous Democratic restoration in MIS-
sissippi in 1876. That State had large
majority of eolQred Republican voters.
By the census of 1SS0-probably indi-
eating the proportion of the same pop
ulation in previous years-the voting
population of Mississippi was as fol-
lows:
Coiored Of voting 1sO,27d
Under the Reconstruction acts. pro-
tecting the newly-made colored voters
in their political rights and guarding
the ballot-box by United States au-
thority. the presidential election in
Missis ppi in 1872 resulted as follows:
For L. 5 Grant (Rep-) s., is5
For Horace Greedy (Dem.) "a, 2SS
The white vote in that year was;
much restricted, owing to the dis.
reimbursement of the rebels. But the
colored Republican vote was rather
full-as large in proportion to the
total number as the present Demo-
cratic vote is to the total number of
white Democratic voters. BY false
promises, conspiracy and fraud the
ex-robel white voters procured their
release from the restrictions of the
reconstruction act, and were restored
to the franchise of which they had
been deprived as the penalty of re-
belliOn. Then there commenced an
era Of political terrorism. violence and
murder unequalled in history. The
vote at the Presidential elections fol-
lowing that of 1872 was as follows:

The enormous Democratic vote of
1876. exceeding that of the total white
voting population. was the result Ofthe
grossest frauds at the polls and in the
canvass. The decreased Republican
vote was in part the result of Kuklux
terrorism and murder, and in part the
result of the most fragrant outrages in
the ballot-box. BY these rascalities
the Democrats carried the State for Til
den, and they elected the State officers
and majority in the Legislature. The
Legislature so elected by violence and
fraud. chose L. Q. e. Lamar as Senator
He never had a valid and honest claim
to a seat IN the United States Senate.
As Senator he was the product of
violated and defrauded franciscan
usurper through Kuklux practices-and
as the result of hundreds of political
murders of the most outrageous char
aeter.
This is an epitome of the political
history of Mississippi since that time.
The majority has been suppressed.
The bulldozers. night-riders and rifle
clubs have ruled the State by driving
from the polls 4 majority of the voters.
The Copiah County murder is but an
instance, representing the methods by
which Democratic ascendancy was
procured and has been maintained. 1t
was by practices of the most atrocious
character that Mr.. Lamar obtained and
held his seat in the United States SEN
ate.
Cleveland would not have been
President but for frauds in the Missis-
sippi election and in other Southern
States having majority of Republican
voters, who were prevented by terror
and violence from exercising the fran
chise. To elevate Lamar to the Fed
eral Supreme bench will be to justify
fraud. to canonize violence and to APP
prove the barbarOus and bloody
methods of Mississippi in political ac-
tiOn. CHICAGO Journal
