observes: "The South deserves praise
for one thing, and that is for complet-

EVERY day adds new evidences to
the correctness of the prediction some
time ago, that the census enumerators
would be used as tools for procuring
figures whereby the South may be
cheated out Of its representatives in
Congress and in the electoral college
When we think of this it explains more
fully why those accidentally appointed
Democrats were ousted and negroes
and white Republicans put in their
places. Everything which the Repub-
licans can hope will tend to perpetuate
their chances for public robbery and
strengthen their forces in any conceiva-
bic shape is of first importance to
