MIR. L. W. Conerly, of this par
isb, writes lengthy communication to
the New iberia Enterprise, from which
we extract the following:
Who sounded the first bugle notes in
favor of the disfranchisement of the ne,
groesa James G.. Blaine, just after his de
feat for the Presidency by Grover Cleve-
land. Whys Because his enfranchise-
ment was being sturned against the Re-
publican party and was giving the South
strength in Congress and in the govern
ment. To spite the Southern white peo-
pie, by force or arms, they made citizen
of the negro and since their own bate
ries are hurled against them for spite and
to weaken the South, they want to dis
franchise the negro. That's all right.
We can afford to lose for while the bal
ance of power in Congress to have entire
control of our local States government.
