The colored teachers conventions en-
dorse-l Governor Northen. Governor
Northen, therefore, was not opposed by
the Republicans, but on the contrary was
supported by the majority Of them. In
the presidential election of 1S.2 both the
Republicans and the Populists had tickets
in the field and the Democratic majority
was 3, ooe-only about 800 more than
the majority in the recent election. This
year the Republican state convention en-
dorsed the Populist and the Republicans
voted almost solidly for the ticket. 1t is
but fair that the comparison should be
made with the Democratic majority in
