he would advise our people to vote for
him, or against me, for the senate. ] will
not ask Mr.. Bryan about this, but would
like TO know why he would advise our dem
ocrats to vote against me, if that is his
purpose.
Here's Where They Differ
We differ about negro suffrage and the
negroes in the army, and l will proceed now
to state what the difference is: I am OPP
posed to it in toto; he is willing to it as long
as he can have white supremacy, as he calls
it. The governor knows what this suffra ge
has cost us as we'll as any man in Alabama,
EXCEPT Mardis Wood.
I 1 believe in the right of self-defense, for
men and communities, just as the whole
body of the people believe in it, for the pro-
lection of their wives and daughters
against outrages worse than chose that saw
age Indians or wolves or bears. or rattle
snakes could infict on them, and instead
of condemning the men who try to save
them by putting the negroes into the posi-
ton, politically. to which they belong, on
my heart, honor them.
/ include the governor in this tribute. for
he has done much to further white suprem-
acy in the line of business to which | am
alluding. But like most men, after they
have succeeded in getting an evil under
temporary control, and, as a reward for
place to sleep in, they forget the troubles
they are imposing on posterity when they
turn on their couches and cry out: IA lit
tie more Sleep" and leave the sting and the
poison in the throats of their children to
compel them also to do as their fathers
did.
Secure white supremacy by INDUCING the
viper that inflicts the wound by using the
remedies controlling the ballot box through
methods that cause their prosecutors to
censor as perjurers and falsfers of the
ballot box. prefer to extirpate the evil. to
take away the sting, to remove the cause
that proyokes us to this necessary method
of self-defense, and to return to and stand
by the honor and rights CT our race. In
this work the great democracy will help us.
The governor complains of me for being
q logical Bryan man instead of being the
slavish lover that he processes to be of that
distinguished young democrat. I COM
plain of him as being only the logical de-
fender of his race. when it softly calls on
him to arouse himself instead of turning
on his couch and crying out "a little more
sleep, and a little more slumber," while
they perish Read his message to the legis-
lature for the purpose of killing the efforts
of the white people to control this new
Samson. He will dig the canal with it and
stay all the Philippines that oppose it,
Grover Cleveland, Dan Lamont, Coils
Huntington. several great continental rail-
roads, and that monster, leprous with
crime the Panama Canal company. | have
seen the foxes that our Samson turned
loose in the wheat fields of the democracy
burn them up but, so far he has only
raised little disagreeable smoke. l doubt
if he can destroy these canal Phistines.
He is too fond of his slumbering in the lap
of Daliah, white supremacy, and feels too
safe in the promises of help from the popu-
lists and is too happy in his career, includ-
ing this coat dab of some gentleman to do
much with his ass jaw-bone toward STAY
ing these Phistines. But If you think he
can build the canal sooner than L can, 1t Is
YOUR duty to send him to the senate, as
that is the greatest practical and material
interest you have.
The Governor Replies
Governor Johnston made short reply to
the speech of the senator, trying to get his
a,ostlon more thorouhgly explained. The
crowd was at all times with the senator,
and at the conclusion of his speech over
half left the building. Thus closed the
preatest debate in this state for many
years.
Ex-senator Morgan was notified this morn
Dag by the sergeant-at-arms of the senate
that he had been selected by the president
e attend the funeral of Vice-President Ho-
bart, and he will leave in the morning to
be present to comply with the notice of the
sergeant-at-arms. Thus he will be denied
the pleasure of being with the governor at
his future appointments, and the greatest
1oint debate of the age has been brought
to close.
