Captain Coghlan of the Raleigh, at the

Secretary Hay through the German

With this statement the ambassador
was content for the time at least, and

given out n statement in which h e at
tributes the prevalent conditions to
the comforting of suffrage on the ne
groes Immediately after they were
emancipated, when they were untitled
for it's exercise. and to the repre-
sentations of carpet baggers to them
that they would be protected by the

says there never has been any trouble
with those who were slaves, but it is
confined to the younger generations.
He declares that while he will do
everything possible to keep down vio-
lence, he is forced to the conclusion
that the only way to prevent lynch
ings is to build up n healthy public
sentiment against them among the
whites, and against such diabolical
crimes among the negroes.
