cumstanccs make II the most mischicvous
in its political effects Of any published
utteranco that has lately como within my

der TO call attention to some OF its wild and
hysterical assertions.
lie says "Tho negro should be undis-
turbed in his royalty before the law. and
he should possess a sufficient hold on tho

Of the interests Of hisrace." But
"the limitation on his right Of suffrage

remove the fear Of negro supremacy"
