qnire why you suppressed and mis-.

stole the presidency from him.
But what is The use OF quarreling
with such fanatics. Here is The

earth, and the most cOntented, and
away up in New England you can
hear the hyyncrilical howl Of"NuIe,

His precious vote is all they are
concerned about. 1t hasent been

the reverend doctor says that we
must not refuse the negro any
place, evil or social. lie would

He does not seem 10 know or be-
lieve that the white Republicans
of The South are rs much shocked
at his demands as we are. He
does moi know that the VIII lie peo-
pie Of The South are unit on the
color line-the separation of the
races in schools and churches, and
hotels and theatres. Here in my
town are Republicans wi h whom
we affiliate and associate in our
churches, in our city councils and
school boards. They are bankers
and merchants, and lawyers and
doctors and manufacturer and we
are mutually tolerant and c0nsid-

ferences, but you can't find one
who does not draw the color line
not one but who will say that DIR.
Phelps is a foolish fanatic. the
Grand Army post at Macon has

The North mad just as well quit
wasting their sweetness on This
question. The negroes don't want
that sort of equality, and they

editor of the Examiner, a great

We don't know that he is banker

it upon u; but for the hostility.
Now, if he was Just one man speak

does look like most of the people
up North are cranky about some
thing. 1t is no wonder that they
are cranky on this question, for
they have been crossed and re-

mated and bred in and bred out so
much, that 1t is a wonder they
have any established principles
