The New York Suns indianapolis
correspondent says: General Har-
rison has completed that part of his
address that refers 10 the south. 1t
is not very long, but it is to the point.
The underlying theme of the whole
matter will be the necessity for free
and fair ballot. The principle OF
control by the majority, says Gener-
al Harrison, is the corner stone of our
governmental system. The question
OF a free and equal ballot, he d. clares,
is a dominant one embracing all 9th.
ers, because it involves the question
Of free and fair tribunal, to which
every question shall be submitted for
arbitration. He warns the people
that this principle of government by
the majority has been to a certain
extent overturned and that the in-
dnstries Of the country have been
threatened because of the laboring
vote in large part of the country is
suppressed. As to the South, direct
ly, he says no one wishes Ill to that
section; that on the contrary, it is the
desire Of every good citizen that her
prosperity shall not only be main .
tanned but shall increase; that the
streams OF her prosperity shall run
full" as the president elect once ex,
pressed it publicly. Ii is not now a
question, he insists, of what has oc.
CURED once upon time, but of VIII . {
is occurring now. This liz, he says,
the almost entire suppression of the
coloIed republican vote at the south
upon national questions. He finds es.
peciaily deplorable the evidence that
the persistent suppression of the votes
Ut the wOrkingmen in one section of
the c'untry has demOralized the
trust IN the sanctity Of the ballot.
The general belief that corrupt and
improper influence III determining
the results even of presidential elec.
tlons; the tally sheet forgeries and
similar crimes in many states outside
Of the south; the Revolutionary pro.
ceedIDgs 10 other states whereby duly
elec'ed officers have been prevented
from exercising the functions for
which the people had chosen them,
are some Vt the evidences of the dan.
ger that threaten free institu ions
