the effect of depriving great number of
negroes ofthe right to vote would involve
the state in conflict with congress.

But" continued he, "if the worst comes
to worst, and we lose some of our repre-
sentat ion in congress, we can stand it, if
allowed to manage our local and state af-
fairs undisturbed," The speaker then
made au elaborate constitutional arpu.
inent to prove that the plan he favored
was Republican in form. (The plan
divides the state into thirteen gerryman-
hered election districts, eight of which
