ton law" said congressman Il. ". Catcniness u
vicksburg. Miss, when interrogated respecting
the probable legislation of the next Congress.
81 have noticed that several of the conventions
have approved the idea OF the passage Of such
law, but am very certain it will not accom-
plish what its friends expect The effect OF
such q law will not be to give single Southern
State to the Republican party that 1t does not
now have. There is a general misunderstand-
ing in the North regarding the race question.
If they think they can settle it by simply pro-
viding some machine which will insure the abb
solute vote of all the negroes of the South for
the Republican party they are very much mis-
taken. That Is not the race question. The race
question is very much deeper and more im-
portant than that. 1t makes me tired to listen
to the talk of Republicans who claim TO want TO
settle the race question by determining how the
negro shall vote for President and members OF
Congress The people of the South care nothing
for such offices except SO far as it Is necessary
them to deal with the great race question Oh

On the question of q general election law
Congress T. M. Browne, Of Indiana, said:
"The Congress OF the United States un-
doub: :edly has power to supervise Congressional
elections. They are thoroughly national and,
perhaps the only national election known to
the Constitution. The question as to what
shall be done in this connection is full OF difh-
culties The laws have to be enforced oy state
tribunals, and the witnesses and everybody
else concerned in the cases are taken out OF the
community which is in sympathy with the vio-
lation of the law, and it will be almost utterly
impossible to secure conviction for that
reason. A statute cannot be enforced
when it is obnoxious to public opinion.
But the United States Governments
shouId do everything 1t can under the Consti-
tuition to enforce the law to secure to to the a9 col
ored man the actual right to vote, and II thas
cannot be done Congress should deprive the
States in which they reside Of representation
In Congress to An extent based upon the num-
ber of colored men thus debarred from tneir
rights as citizens.

sition than for the majority to say TO those ais
