The Durham daily globe. (Durham, N.C.) 1889-1894, 1894-03-03
DURHAM, y. c.. SATURDAY EVENING, 3,

nOTIn COhccue lnaL II was 4 unlSLake 10
put the ballot in the hands OF the
southern colored man when he wasn't
equal to the duties Of citizenship
nor intelligent enough to vote. The
republican party made the law. It
was a mistake The south in many
places said: 1--WE believe that the party
who made tins law viii acknowledge
it was mistake. Law and order, the
protection oflifc and property. can only
be maintained in the south by the su-
prcmacy OF the white man and his
domination over the inferior race"
The day will come in this country
when no man can vote in any state, in
any election, who is not versed in ma
tional and state affairs, or who can
at least intelligently read and under
stand our national and state constitu
tion and statutory Law.
The crimes that are committed and
the infamies practiced in the name Of
party politics is disgrace to humanity
and q reflection on the devil himself.
| sometimes think the devil Will be
more uniform in the reception of can
didates for damnation and will more
wisely discriminate than our country
does to-day on the lines of emigration
and naturalization. OF many things,
the great masses are ignorant. Should
they know the infamies practiced and
the rascality of the average politician,
when combined to defeat some good
man or carry through some infamous
one, they would rise in mutiny and dis
band the parliament.
Senator Colquit disclaims authorship
of the sentence: What is the use in
talking about Righteousness and truth
and conscience if it is to be followed
bv funeral procession" but 1t does
seem that our politicians have reached
the point where they believe that, II
right is done, conscience is dominant
and truth prevails, a funeral procession
will follow them to their political
graves.
If we will eliminate the fear the
democr ats have of the republicans and
the repu blicans have of the democrats
and let the wisdom and common sense
of either party bravely set itself to the
reform of our laws, then the end we
seek could be obtained and this could
be made the greatest nation the world
has ever known.
Our politicians are not nominated
and are seldom elected by the best ele-
ment of our voting population. Where
the nomination is equal to an election,
generally the ward politician and heel
ers make the nomination, and when
once the nomination is made, if it be
the devils own, party loyalty forces
the voter to cast his vote for the nOml-
nee and, hence, often the devil himself
elects one Of h is chosen vicegerents to
some Office.
The devil will surely have devil OF
time when the politicians OF this
country go home to their final abode,
where there shall be weeping and
wailing and gnashing of teeth and
where the worm dicth not and the tire
shall never be Qucnched.
The old Hardshell preacher, preach
inc from the text: "When they shall
Cnaw q file and fee into the mountains
where the lion roareth and the whan3-
! doodle mourneth," and getting fully
into his subject told his hearers that
/ his wife, Sallie Ann, was dead and
/ pone where the spirit Of just men are
made perfect, but if they made her
perfect they would have to "gnaw a
file and flee into the mountains where
the lion roareth and the whangdoodle
mOurneth."
am sure that il the devil ever makes
the average politician perfect. he viii

mountains where the lion rOareth and
