This convention IS necessary to fofm
a convention OF which white supremacy
is 10 be the keystone. These friends Of
ours say they are in favor Of white
supremacy. 1 don't see how they could
be white men and not be in favor Of 1t.
But what sort OF white supremacy The
white supremacy we want is the one which
Con-, the flesh nor the devil cannot take
away. We want no negro vote.
Some will ask why ! propose TO give
them half in the Hemphill-Tillman con-
ference. I did so because the conserva-
tives would be pledged 10 the necessary
basic principles. We cannot trust them
White supremacy is above everything.
Put them untrammelled into the conven-
ton, and 5000 poor white men shall have
cast their last vote.
They talk OF equity and right. Why,
the very word democracy means the rule
Of the majority. Now this Democratic
party is divided. Why should our faction.

their fellow citizens, who, during the past
week, prevented a speech from being de-
livered which was calculated to bring
about bad blood between the races, and
thereby destroy the peaceful relations at
present existing throughout the commun-
ity. All recognize the principle that free
speech is a right belonging to every man,
but we will sternly repress any firebrands
who seek to stir up the negro TO activity.
