we're heaped upon the people till patience /
ceased to be virtue
Agitation began, whippings and muir
ders followed. The Legislatures OF inc
states were composed of ignorant and
bad negroes led by worse white men.
Taxes were laid on the white people to be
squandered recklessly in the riotous vul
garity of uneducated negroes.
When that resource was exhausted they
entered into conspiracies with money
lenders Of the North to issue millions OF
bonds to be bypothecated sometimes at
less than one half their face value.
South Carolina was saddled with a debt
Of $40, 100000. Louisiana with $s2, OOo,-
600 the other states with smaller
amounts. but all immense debts and all
fraudulent. Scandal was rife, ruin was
imminent. shocking crimes were ire.
onent. anarchy was threatened.
This state Of affairs gathered lot Of
the most consummate political scoundrels
that the world ever knew to prey upon
the South. The, flocked to the Southern
states from every state In the Union and
held Office under the notorious and shame
fully humiliatlug administration Of
President Grant.
The people Of the North never knew
they could not believe--the record o.
crime which the true history Of th,
Southern states presented during thos'
awful years Of alleged reconstruction
The people Of the North said 1.-THE!

The people Of the South hesitated, the!

support Of the Northern people by with

Peace, industry and plenty have hel

CHICAGO VS.. WILMINGTON.
Sporting Life Offers Trophy and Pro.
poses Fair CondifIons.

Sporting Life Offers a Trophy and Pro-
poses Fair Conditions.
The Sporting Life of Philadelphia
offers trophy valued at 800, to the
winning team in race between the Will
and Chicago teams and proposes
the following conditions:
Dis tsnce-50 miles-This meets with
the approval of the Wilmington team,
and, of course. is entirely acceptable to
the Chicagoans, as N. II. Van Sickle
has said in letter to the Bicycling World
of November %, that he was ready to
ride any distance.
Time-June %, 1890. This condition
has also been agreed to by both sides and
there can therefore be no dispute about it.
Place-"Tne Sporting Life seven mile
course" on Lancaster Pike and Montgom,
cry avenue; or, if opposed by the turn
pike companies, on an equally suitable
course as regards condition of road in the
same neighborhood.
Number of Men in Each Team-To
be determined by Mr. Merrihew, on be-
half of the Neutrality-suspicious., as TO quote
Mr. Van Sicklen AGAIN. the ChicagOs are
ready TO race tany number of mem" but
if the teams consist of five or more men
each the Wilmington team must be per
mitten to enter w. Van Wagner, as (to
once more quote Mr. Van Sicklen) the
Chicagos have expressed their belief al
follows:-"We viii 60 farther and say
that we feel confident that we are able *
defeat any team of five men that can b.
got together outside Of Chicago"
Prizes-Trophy valued at 800 to be
donated by The Sporting Life and to b,
awarded to the winning team,
The number and value of the prizes II
now the only stumbling block in the way
and it is with the view of removing this
difficulty in measure that The Sporting
Life offers to donate the prin.
cipal trophy. We think thu
| Chicago men are unreasonable in de
handing $500 trophy and $50 prize t,
esch member and hotel and travelling ex-
penses of the winning team. If thesi
conditions are insisted upon it is reason
able to assert that the race will nevg
come off. as the terms are immoderatl
and unreasonable. Should the teams con
sist of Eve men the amount of none
needed will not be under $500, and it /
impossible for the Wilmington men t,
raise any such amount; their club hal
| just rented new quarters and is en-
ieavoring to raise money Il
furnish them. The men themselve
can Ill afford such an outlay. On til
other hand, II the Chicago men are tn
real sportsmen we take them to be, the
will not let the matter of prizes inter
fere with their meeting the Whining
tonisns to determine which is the bes
team. We can assure them that there
not man of the Wilmington team VIII
is not willing to enter this race shout
there not be prize of any kind offered
They race for fun.
The officers of the Race-To be sue
as the teams shall agree upon.
