The Georgia Plan Of Salvation.

On Tuesday the House OF Repre-
sentatives of the State of Georgia
went upon record as favoring negro
The Hardwick bill which
was patterned after the Louisiana sui
frage article, including section o.
which took the son of his ~gradfather
in out Of the wet, was defeated by an
overwhelming vote of 1871 to 3. We
are afraid the tender consideration
thus shown the man and brother IN
black by the swaybacked Democratic
solons of the great State OF Georgia
will throw our esteemed neighbor the
Republican Idea into spasms, but 1t
can't be helped-
In looking about for the reason OF
this sudden and vigorous knockout
blow for white supremacy with the
section 5 attachment, we are told that
these Georgia niggers are wise beyond
their generation. They have learned
that it wss safer to be with the white
people than against them in a solid
mass. and hence many of them be-
came good Democratic niggers. We
are even told THAT in So counties
where the negroes were in the major
ity they voted with the Democrats.
Possibly, too, Governor Gambler
voices the popular sentiment when he
said the people Of Georgia were not
ready for any radical suffrage reform
and when the time come they would
demand the genuine article instead OF
a humbug counterfeit. 1t is a safe
bet that the Georgia niger like his
brother in Texas need have no fear o.
losing his right to vote. He ha:
learned to vote the right way and .ht
may depend upon it, the men be votes
for will protect him. The Louisiana
niger always had his skull filled will
the idea that the good old time o
kellogg and Antoine would CONF
around again. He thought OF it b,
day and at night the gorgeous glorie
of tina. S%aturnalia loated before hi
fevered Imagination. There was
charm in that mystic word "Repub
Iican'' which lured him from his haI
Nv home to fall into the hands of SET
ton 5 which cut him off back of tn
ears with q meat AK, according t
law and in fear of the Lord. Tt
Georgia plan of salvation to the mig
ger voter is rather unique comm
from such a Democratic stronghold
.but it is eminently fair to the RAJ
somed sinner.
