THE NEW FORCE BILL.
How the Extraordinary Measure Is Re-
ceived by Southern Republicans.

How the Extraordinary Measure Is Re-
ceIved by Southern Republicans.
Mr.. John r. Lynch, the colored
eX-Representative from Mississippi,
and now fourth auditor of the treas
ury, writes an exceedingly lengthy
communication to tho Post in favor
of the proposed federal election law.
Mr.. Lynch is one os the ablest of the
colored politicians of the South, or
rather he was, for practically Wash
ington has been his abiding place for
q number of wears. and the only in
he appears to take lnhis race is when
he writes an occasional letter or
makes an occasional speech on South
ern affairs. He is thorough politi-
clan, and q professional colored poll
tician can not be expected to give
good advice to his people. There are
no strong points in his argument in
favor of another force bill. It pro-
ceeds on the old assumption that the
colored voters of the South are never
to have any liberty of opinion, but are
to be forever chained to the hind
wheel of the Republican party. In
opposition to Mr.. Lynch the voice of
great many of the real representa-
tives of his race have been raised
men who have not come to Washing
ton to look for Office, but have stayed
Mt home and cast their lot with their
own people. But the most signif-
cant circumstance about this whole
maeHfhery Is to be round IN the strong
obfoptions raised by many of the
prominent white Republicans of the
Southern States. The most sagaci6us
and the most respectable of these
questions very seriously the wisdom
and the expediency of the measure.
Mr.. Thomas B. Keogh, of South Caro-
lima, for many years the most inhuen-
tial Republican of that State, while
in the Office of the Sun Bureau today,
expressed decided dissent to the
policy of any more legislation to
regulate elections in the South. He
said the caucus bill now pending in
the House was needless, that it was
plainly unconstitutional, and if en-
acted would entirely fail to accom-
plish the purposes for which in
tended. Its only effect would be to
disturb harmony and promote ill-will.
He said there was time years ago
when the Republican party in Con
gress, if it had had the courage,
could have settled the negro question,
and settled it permanently. That
time was passed, and no legislation
which the Republican party may
ever be able to enact can suffice to
repair the errors which it has COM
mitted.-Baltimore Sun.
The weekly Union times. [volume] (Union C.H., South Carolina) 1871-1894, 1890-07-11

for the bill arose chiefly from the con-
dition of affairs in the South, and
upon being challenged for spccifica-
tion by Southern members he gave
instances in Alabama, Georgia, Mis-
sissippi and Arkansas. His asser-
tions were disputed by gentlemen
from these States so constantly and
stubbornly that at times two OF more
members would be speaking at once,
Rowell, however, held the floor and
abated nothing of the sweeping ma
ture of his charges.
Lehlbach, of New Jersey, Repub-
ican, said he could not favor the
legislation. He admitted the condi-
ton of elections in many parts of the
country would seem to justify the
passage of such measure. He had
no doubt frauds were perpetrated to
a certain extent both North and
South. It would, however, in his
opinion be worse not to let the people
of the several States regulate their
own elections. Loud Democratic
applause. The moral sentiment of
the country and education would
bring about the same results, and
relief then would be permanent. The
bill was not general and uniform. He
questioned the right to make law
applicable in some States and not in
others. It should be uniformly ap-
plicable and not dependent upon the
petition of any number of citizens.
United States supervisors were to be
appointed and supervisors, experience
had shown, were liable, like others,
to seek to influence elections their
OWL way. He thought the law would
bring about conflict of authority
between election officers chosen by
the people and those appointed by
the United States Judge and this
might bring about a deplorable state
of affairs. The law could not be en-.
forced when moral sentiment was so
when that sentiment was elevated
the law would be unnecessary.
Tucker, of Virginia, opposed the
bill specifically and generally. He
claimed that it gave supervisors the
right to determine the qualifications
of electors, right reserved by the
Constitution to the States.

Tillman read n letter of Senator

Woodward denied the charge EN-
phatcially. Another episode seemed
imminent. Woodward said there

Tillman, son of Congressman Tillman,
construed the remark as applying to
himself and some hot words passed
but all was quieted in few moments
and Tillman closed his speech.
Pope, Gary and Crawford, Farley,
Rice and townsend followed with
brief speeches.
The meeting showed n decided

A few years ago the Democrats of
the Sixth Kentucky District grew in

was no need for exertion. The re-

almost solidly to mseat him. For

1t must be regretted on all sides
that there has been so much disorder
at the Democratic campaign meetings.
Surely there ought to be some way
to stop this. If no other device will
accomplish the result, it might be
well for all the candidates to enter
into an agreement oquit speaking as
soon as there should be any bad be
havior-such conduct, for exampl, ),
as was seeu at Laurens, Aiken, Edge
field, Columbia and Winnsboro
Judging from the doings at these
places, we apprehend that the rough
or elements rather took possession of
the meetings. The sober people on
both sides ought to take charge of
things-the sooner the better.

Under this system, whiah it was
proposed to revive, the people of the
South had been robbed by picked
villains of the North, backed up by
the bayonets of the United States
army. The South didn't want to
be caught in that position again.
