Now. n the negroes should rule all OF
these counties. the white people wouiu
stin control the State by an almost Two
thirds vote by counties. But Is there no
way TO prevent the negroes having con-
troll in even these counties except py
cheating them?
Observe how nearly the population IL
divided between them I'm some. our own
opinion IS that II the word should go OIL
that each county was TO depend In cleo
tons upon its own resources the white
people by fair dealing could controi inc
negro vote in the great majority OF cases
The negroes as a party are utterly oe-
nooralizcd and scattered now. and having
more experience and intelligence. we do
not run the risk from them that we did
twenty years ago.
Eut even If there were any risk OF 'he
negroes controlling in some counties we
had better defeat them by measures taken
20 rule these counties through appoint
ments made by the Legislature or Dy tack
ing counties with negro majcriues 10
counties with white majorines rather
than by frauds in the elections. Tnat
debases everything. and must soon drag
our whole people down 10 the depths OF
degradation.
The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1895-10-29

In Senator Hilrs address to the students
at Ann Arbor a day or so back ne saln
the Constitution Of the United states
needed amendment in four particulars
to-,vit. So that the Presidents term OF
office should be SIX years. without MS
be,nr eligible to a second term; that
United States senators shall be elected
10, direct vote Of the people; that the
President be allowed TO veto ind-Fifuai
items Of appropriation bills, and that the
Government should be forbidden to issue
paper currency.
We Gee M particular reason for extend
ing the presidential term or for io'piaiihB
The President 10 be elected 20 a second
term, ami We arc not altogether satisfied
that it would be wise to allow veto OF
separate items in appropriation bills But
we ION with Senator HID heart and soul
I'm wishing the Constitution so amended
that senators shall be elected by the peo-
ple. and that the Government shall be
forbidden to- issue paper money or cur
rencv But an amendment Of far greater
inheritance than any Of these is TO re-
peal the fifteenth amendment, 50 as 20
allow each State to prescribe the quail
ncatons for the voters Of that state.
That would enable the southern States
TO conhne voting amongst the negroes to
those negroes who qualify themselves for
the exercise Of the suffrage, and il would
end the turmoil, restlessDess, and fraudu-
lent practices in elections. which have
done the South so much injury. and
which are stu doing II such incalculable
harm. We hope Senator Hill will include
this demand for amendment Of the Con-
stitution in the next platform he lays
down
