JOIN NJ TIIURSTON on SOUTHERN ELECIlONS.
Chicago July II specaD.-John NJ Thurston' Of
Nebraska president of the National Republican League
has been the South this year, and mas maoe s'uuS
of the Federal Election bill. He says u nope the
senate will pass the BILL for it is intended to secure
10 all American citizens the individual right OF suffrage
| 7 do not believe the Democrats could make any
capital out Of the enactment OF such measure ul
less they openly advocated the suppression OF INC
| right Of suffrage At the same time, am not
sanguine Of the practical operation Of the law II Is
intended to protect the coored man on election day,
but would not protect him the other 3G4 Gays OF the
year. If he is to be a free man, he must be pro-
ected not only at the polls, but in his cabin. De-
lleye the only method in which freedom OF suffrage
can be secured is by enforcing the Amendment to tho
Constitution which gives Congress the power to re-
duce the representation in those sections where the
citizens The Democratic party OF the Souih counts
the negro in the census and on that basis cIlhis
representation. If il were also necessary that MS
vote should be cast and counted In order 10 secure
full representation in Congress II could be cast as
freely as in the North. Whenever the ballot OF the
negro is profitable to the southern people ~ not ony
will he received but will be solicited. The cltlZensnp
of the coOrcd men has been settled by American VooF
