who is now being forced 70 sell his

essxries u life He reviewed the
work Of Rsed's billion dollar cor
gyess and explained the action d
the recent congress which adjourn
Cd ia . satisfactory manner He
then paid attention 70 the third par
fY. TIE fallacies and ridiculous IDEAS
and themes u the populItes were
torn In fragments. and the logic Of

the third par1yites who were pres
ent Upon the force bill he showed
the object Of the republican party
to cripple the industrial develop
nent u the south The south Is be
coming great rival q the North
and East in manufacturing lines
particularly ia the production Of
cotton goods and pig iron The re-
publican idea was that TIE attempt
~ enforce the provisions gfthe force
biz il the south would produce riot
ing and blood shed and furnish the
republicans an excuse FOR deprlYing
the states ~ the south 81 local home
rule. drive away the northern and
eastern capitalists who are inereas
ing in southern material and re-
sources. and thereby destroy great
and growing rival Of New England
Col Terry In this connection useo al
editorial from the National Republi
can. that the Lodge Election bill
was and 4 In Inc with the ayOwed
purpose Of the republican party that
with this bin IN operation there
would be several republicans elected
from the city Of New York
and twenty negro congressman
would come from the states
81 the South and thereby secure the
republicans control 81 the lower
branch q congress and when that
result was reached the people Of the
South should be heavily taxed for
school purposes; that separate
schools in the South should he
abolished and separate places 81
worship be denied, and thereby the
young Of both sexes, white and ne
gro, be brought into closer contact
and more intimate relations; the
laws forbiding inter marriage should
be repealed. and that under the OPP
GRAFTON Of such Laws the race prob
lem would soon be settled in the
South. Col. Terry rose 10 his fall
statute as this infamous purpose
seemed 70 be realized by his audi
ence, and be said, eloquently, that
language was not strong enough 10
denounce in appropriate terms the
infarny, outrage and insult toward
the people o. the South contained
and implied in the article referred
70. He said the force bin 10 great
issue in this campaign and that
there was no doubt the republican
party intended to pass il just as
soon as they could. The radical
ring Of the republican party has be
come desperate and feel that the On
ly way they can retain power Is iol
stir Up renewed strife and blood
shed in the South and destroy her
proper representation IN congress,
and with this accomplished they
car maintain the Mckinley bin, and
put through their nefarioas jobs and
robberies Of the people
