Don't, hey"

you said? Who was the MANI"
I'll don't SEQ what you want to know

The Suffrage Problem.

Hon. T. A. Melville of Jackson
in an article in the Memphis CONNER
cial, gives the following summary OF
the plans most likely TO be considered
by the Convention to insure and per-
petuate white supremacy in Missis-
sippi:
l. A change in the basis of repre-
sentation of such character as to
vest the governing power in the white
counties simply, or in the white cOun-
ties and senatorial districts.
2. Plural voting on basis to make
plural voters of "a sufficient number of
whites to secure safe white majority.
8. Examination, registration and
certifcation of fitness to vote by CON-
mission.
4. Comforting suffrage upon females
having certain property qualifications
and upon male minors between the
ages of Is and q years possessing
certain property and educational
qualifications.
5. disqualification for crimes of a
certain character.
6. Longer residence in the State
and county.
Z. An increased compulsory poll
tax prepaid, or a compulsory poll tax
of the present amount and a volunta-
ry one of greater amount prepaid,
the latter to carry with its payment
the right to vote.
8. The Australian ballot system.

tricts, and generally all over the
State, except in Portland and Bangor,
and even in those cities not one
twentieth of the liquor is consumed
