The remarks OF Representative Ken
nedy, Of Ohio, in the House yesterday,
may be taken as fair sample Of what the
country may expect when the Republicans
shall acquire control Of the Presidency
and both branches of Congress. Kennedy
represents the Ohio district which sent
ex-Speakcr Keller to Congress. 1t is a
district the Ropublicansm Of which is
more radical than anywhere else in the
Union. Che negro population is very
large. There the bloody shirt may always
he waved with success TO stimulate the
tagging energies of the Republican host in
campaign times. There The Commercial Ga
seite is the party gospel and Foraker the
party idol. The anti.Southorn sentiment
is intense and very bitter. Mr.. Kennedy's
constituents are OF the sort who believe
that The South must be conquered again,
and his declaration yesterday that Lee and
h'hhl'kulh uilu lbh7'I nllVhlh llhNt Uctu
hanged is the dominant sentiment Of the
Republicans whom Kennedy represents
Doubtless that declaration has been
made on the stump 10000 times in
the district and always with great
applause. II was very easy matter, of
course. for Crisp and Turner OF Georgin
and Breckenridge Of Arkansas to answer
Kcnncdy-toexpose him and to leave him
to the dorision and contempt Of all fair
minded mon. But the moral Of il all is
that Kennedy Is but the type Of Republi-
can who will be "in the saddle" after
March 4, and the Southern people may as
well prepare to suffer torrent Of that
kind OF yirulcncc, a small phial Of which
Kennedy Of Ohio uncorkcd yesterday.
