AN OUTRAGE.

Not because he was elected, but be-
cause it suited their pleasure to do so,
the Republicans in the House OF Repre-
sentUtives Thursday unssated Mr.. Ell
lott from i;'he First South Carolina dis
tfict, and seated a negro named Murray.
1t Is said that the main grounds upon
which the seat was given Murray was
that the census returns show a negro
majority In the district. and the wise
acrt4 concluded, therefore, that Murray
must have gotten them all, and II he
did not he ought to, and that they would
make up the mistake by giving him
the ssat anyhow. The ,Simon-pure DEM
ocrats in the House resisted the unseat-
Ing Of Mr. Elliott but, be 1t known to
their shame. there were one or two who
claim to hs Democrats who voted for
the negro. Just WHAT sort of Demo-
Gratis they are is hard TO understand and

IN their inspections here IS what they
