on q basis OF political equality now, or
the day will come when they will avengel
the wrong In 1868 the colored popula-
ton OF the South will probably number
fifty millions. Our constitutional
amendments ought to be enforced and
negro suffrage and representation freely
granted. AS it is they are disfranchised
and the white element OF the South un-
duly represent in u national cons
gress, much to the peril OF the stability
OF our government.
The rapid accumulation of people in
the cities win soon make these the con-
trolling political forces OF our country.
They are corrupt and controlled by the
ruin power. OF the ten million actual
voters to-day, the speaker represented
them in an object lesson on his Ave I'm
gers. One finger representing two mil
lions that cannot read, a second finger
representing two millions more who
were unstable and mercenary and could
be bought up; the thumb representing
two millions OF the saloon power, which
he Tapped over the other two fingers
representing the four millions OF ignor-
ant and m~ercenary controlled by the
liquor power, thus giving the latter con-
troll of the country. The two remaining
fingers represented the republican and
| the democratic parties, which wiggled
/ easily to the influence OF the rum power
in order that they might gain the as
tendency.
The safeguards OF the nation he repre-
sented on the fingers OF the other hand

frage, an educational test and compul-
sorry voting. His elaboration OF these
points was very forcible. and the whole
lecture was simply irresistible in it's
~sublimity and logic.
