ture. and it only needs favorable
action by the Legislatures now III

only one in which there IL any
serious doubt of submitting the
question to a popular vote is in the
case OF Connecticut.
Five states have voted during
the past two years on the adoption
of prohibitory constitutlon

less Of color or politics, or the fact
that he is a resident of the Southern
section of the Union. And this
should be done under laws which
affect equally every state OF the
Union.
Reconstruction, beyond the
temporary success which 1t gave
the national Republican part, in
1868 and 1872, was a dismal failure.
For the last sixteen years South
ern Republicans have suffered on
account of its blnnders and defects.
Any cool and candid observer will
to-day admit that a course which
will provoke bitter resistance by
Southern Democrats to national
legislation can only result in injury
to the Southern Republicans. In
the event of assassination and out
rage the negroes take the brunt,
while majority Of the men who
are now full OF wisdom about the
South take to the bushes.
Virginia, West Virginia, North
Carolina and Tennessee are che
only Southern states that can be-
won from Democracy and the
victory will never cone on account
of the distribution Of federal pat
ronage. These states are not in
the "black brlt,p and there can be
no such wholesale suppression OF
votes in them as ia the other
Southern states.
Most of the men who are BOW
popping up in the Southern States
as the leaders and advisers, are
Republicans more less because they
believe principally in Offices and
appropriations. 10 is astonishing
how hard they think they have
worked tor the party aud what
great sacrifices they imagine they
have made. 1t is marvellous that
the average hard listed and stiff
Decked Republican voter heard OF
very few of these statesmen from
the time Cleveland went in until
Harrison was elected.
More railroads, more cotton
factories, more coal and iron mines,
more money and more business
this is what We need to BRING a
fair cOunt and make every man in
the South think this great republic
is good enough for him; and that
1t and AL its laws must and shall
be preserved and Obeyed.

The fact which will strike anyone
in looking over this table is the
great disparity between the vote
cast for Prohibition amendment
and that pOIled for Third party
candidate for the presidency. In
all of these states. with the excep-
ton of West Virginia, tho vote on
the amendment was taken at a
separate election, and the large
vote gwen in it's favor is due in
great measure to this fact. This
ought to show the. Prohibitionlsts
the folly of opposing the appoint
ment OF special election day for
voting on the amendment, az some
Of them are now doing. The Third
party vote cast last November IN
the states which will probably vote
on prOhibitory amendment was as
