made and gold was paid in settle
ment, of course. No one intimates
there was anything improper about
this contract. Gold would have been
paid in settlement without any stipu-
lation, just as every one supposes gold
is to be paid on our bonds when they
mature. But Mr.. Harrison ordered
the word gold to be put into the con-
tract without asking the consent of
Congress, and there never was any
talk of impeaching him on the part Of
the silver chaps. Perhaps that was
because they knew nothing about 1t.

In your issue Of February 23d, you pub

and Intimate that be intends to lead negroes
in order to prevent this white supremacy,
and call upon him to ''make his choice and

lead negroes against it, and we can gee DO
reason for tine insinuation except it be that he
(,he editor is opposed to the CONSERVATIVES
making an open, manly fight, and accepting

He IS charged with opposing call those

not tn casa. He is opposing any compro-

familiar with the terms Of the compromise
offered by TillnAn. Such compromise every
patriotic, truth LOVING citizen should refuse
to touch. Tillman, the per jnred liar, Got
satisfied with damning himself, Is seeking TO
make Conservatives partners in his crime.
Sncb a compromise means stjsct surrender
to Tiliman, and viii not even bring pence.
a convention elected thus will be pledged to
perpetuate frand in our constitution and the
managers Of election appointed under il will
be obliged to peri ure themselves in order 10
disfranchise the regro. Provisions will De
made, says Tillman, for every white msn TO
vote, and this cannot be done without fraud
and perjury. A properly qualification will
also be put 10 the instrument and thousands
of white men will be legally debarred from
voting. The constitution thus "6xed' will
stife our people forever ; and knowing that
the people would repudiate such a paper, the
ring requires that conservatives elected under
| the compromise shall be pledged not to sub
NIT the new Constitution to the people for ratl-
fcotion Such n system of fraud and perjury
once established there is no telling where it
will end.
By the terms of the compromise Tillman
will gain every point for which he has ever
contended and if the Conservatives refuse his
offer make a fight and are defeated, they will,
be no worse of and will have the satisfaction
o%fkuowiug that they con,ended for the right
like men. On the other hand, if they win,
