political capital out OF negro suprem-
acy," and truthfully says
Yet il seems strange that so intelligent
a woman as Mrs. Lease should have had
TO learn this truth through the unpleas-
ant medium of experience. Year alter
year the Republican press has told plain
and true stories of Southern oppression
and suppression. Varying rs To name
of place and person, varying in the de-
gree of outrage; sometimes, though
rarely, limited To mere insult and social
ostracism, often going rs Tar rs not to
be neglected notice 10 leave the town
or neighborhood, often proceeding to
destruction of property, often To violent
assault, not infrequently To murder,
making no respect of sex, granting no
exception to old age, not sparing the
tenderness of youth, the outrages had
two unvalying incidents-the victim
always was IA Republican, and his as
sailants never were punished by law.
So unbroken was this uniformity that
many good people began to suspect
that the stories were told for political
effect. No suspicion could have been
more groundless. The Inter ocean not
only did not encourage, but actually
discouraged, its correspondents from
sending reports of Southern outrages.
1t had learned that they fell upon in
credulous ears. 1t was only when some
hideously fragrant outrage WAS per-
petrated, some crime almost impossible
To Northern society committed, that it
ventured upon editorial comment. And
it repeatedly told its readers that the
memorable economies would avenge
the cause of humanity upon the South.
1t told them that the absence of manu-
features, an absence caused, nay forced,
by the dread of the Democratic Oligarchs
of well-educated and Independent labor,
was working adversely to the Southern
farmers and store keepers, to the
proletariat and the artisan classes, and
to all who earn their living by the sweat
of brow or of brain. 1t told them that
by preventing the existence of local
home markets the oligarchy was depriv-
ing the farmers OF revenue, while by
preventing the growth of urban popula-
ton it was increasing the farmers bur
den of taxation. 1t told them that this
evil would work its own cure by Great
| ing discomfort that would result in a
demand for IL change in the administra-
ton of affairs, and it told them that
this demand ultimately would lead to
| free speech, to free vote, TO fair counts
But it told them also that this demand
would be resisted 10y the fires of arson
and by the murder of citizens, kindled
and perpetrated by the Democratic
oligarchy. Yet it predicted, and it still
predicts, that in the end the plain, com
mon people, the kings who pillow and
reap and use the AK aud work the looms
and forge the iron must be triumphant
in the South, as in the North. The in
eXorable economies and the inexorabl,
destinies are at war with Southern con
ditions.

Judge Morse Addressed.

The circular letter so induStriouSly
circulated among colored voters of the
state requesting them to vote for Judge
Morse, has been pretty clearly Analysed
by shrewd colored citizen of Lansing
in the following open letter.
Mr.. BENJAMIN MoRsE:-You and
your friends are seeking to gain the
vote of the colored citizens OF our state,
us IL recent letter received by me plainly
shows Now, Judge Morse, you base
your claim to this vote on the ground
that you did your plain duty ir~con-
STRUNG law favorable To our people.
The law you passed upon had been
made by Republicans, and we know that
had il not been for that party we never
would have had the law. Courts higher
than our state court had already de-
cided the law constitutional before you
were called upon for this opinion. An
honest Judge could do no less than you
did, and the constitutiOnality OF the law
shows that our friends, the Republicans
who made the law, had sound heads as
well rs good hearts. They gave us n
good laW--One 50 good that even a Dem
ocratic Judge could find no defect in it,
You will not be able To deceive many of
our people 10y your circular letter OF
appeal We know the party that gave
us our freedom and our rights, and the
Democracy must consider us fools or
inglates to believe we can be enticed
from cur allegiance by chaif.
am surprised that you not Only ask
but demand the votes of colored citizens
on the ground that you have performed
your duty in ease when our civil
rights were at stake. Through the ac-
ton Of Lincoln, whose name we love
and shall always honor, we came out of
the bondage of slavery aud as freemen
exercise to-day the rights guaranteed
to us by the amendments of the United
States constitution, passed by Re
publican house and senate aud ratified
by Republican legislatures. Having
voted the Republican ticket many years
and no other, at the age of 30 | shall
not go back on the record. Had you
remained in the party of which you
were a member during the war, ! should
gladly support you, but cannot prove
myself n desertcr because you have
skedaddled from the ranks The great
ISSUES of protection, reciprocity and
money, and a ballot that shall be fairly
cast and fairly counted is the platform
that the Republican party offers the
white and colored citizens alike, north
and south. On the last OF these PROPOSE
tions depends the future prosperity and
perpctuity of this great republic. On
the others are placed the hope OF fair
remuneration for daily toll for both
black and white
Thanking you for your circular let
me assure you that the colored voters
of Michigan will not help, willingly, to
rclcgate themselves back where liberty
shall be To them but name, in order
that democracy under Grover "shal be
in clover" JOHN ALLEN, SIR.

The Miner Law.

The constitutionality of this contested
law is at last settled by the United
States supreme court for all time to
come, and much discussion is now arts
ing as to the necessity for some leglsla-
ton that shall give us a uniform system
of voting for President, for nothing is
more certain than that we may expect
return To the old partisan perversion
and constant uncertainty, now that the
uniformity of method has been once
broken in upon.
There will be doubly strong temp
tation to gcrIymander, since strongly
Republican states sometimes have
Democrat legislatures and are then
able to vote the district system and
make ut least portion of their electors
Democratic, the same as has this year
been done in Michigan. Thus, even if
our state Shoul go largely Republican
this fall, Il portion OF our electors would
still be Democratic, and though this
system may bring the election nearer
to the people" it will at least not bring
the result nearer to the wishes OF the
majority.
it certainly seems in order to have a
constitutional amendment, revising our
present method Of electing President
in such way rs both to bring the cleo
ton near to the people, and also secure
absolute uniformity.

The Detroit Tribune says of the recent
action of the supreme court regarding
the Miner law
For the present the political effect OF
the decision is of the greatest import
ance 1t is conceded that under the dis
trict system the Democrats will get some
Michigan electoral votes il the Repub.
leans carry the state, but they would
not get more than half even if they
should carry the state themselves. On
the basis of the congressional vote oil
1888 the Republicans will surely carry
ten out of the fourteen electoral dis.
tricts, and there is fighting chance in
one or two more. We believe it i'm.
possible for the Democrats TO get more
at the outside, than four electoral votes
in Michigan. This will be exceedingly
small fruitage of their vicious partisan
legislation, which gains no sanction
whatever in morals or in politics from
the opinion of the United States
Supreme Court Michigan Republicans
should see to it that legislature is re-
turned which will repeal the Miner
