inentIy the Protestant party in the
United States, and inasmuch as the
Democratic party could not wage
this kind Of war as it is under CON-
plete dominion from the Catholic
Influence in the North and West, and
would be powerless and entirely i'm
/ potent to emancipate these depen-
denotes of Spain from their religious
troubles. The Republican is pro-
gressive party and is Protestant in
it's communion. The Democratic is
not progressive in it's tendencies, but
like Catholicism, welded to the ira
ditions of the past.
The New Testament tells us that
"Powers that be are ordained of God"
and how consoling to every Christ
ian patriot is the thought when he
sees the destinies of mankind con-
fronted by such powers and influences.
The Southern Democracy has but lit
tie influence in even the Democratic
party to control its course, but it is en-
tirely shaped in its main features by
the Northern Democracy. 1t will
pander to Southern preiudices some
what and put in such things as will
not initiate against them at home
but in the general aims and endeav-
ors the Nothern Democracy is en-
tirely untrustworthy and treacher-
Gus to any principles and promises
and no substantial reforms can ever
he achieved by union with them and
from them nothing progressive can
be expected. I am Republican be-
cause I sincerely believe in Anglo
Saxon dominion. I believe he is a
a creature of Providence and the
Democracy that controls in the Uni
ted States is not Anglo-Saxop. 1t is
foreign born both to religion and
politics. The Democracy of the
North is not q friend to American in
stitution, but in religion and politics
is under foreign influences which is
in open hostility to the genius of the
native born American citizen. I be.
lieve in Anglo-Saxon supremacy
here and elsewhere, but do not
care to be deceived by q delu-
sion. We allow drunken, brutal
mob here to kill and assassiDate ne
groes for any and all crimes and pre-
lenses under the delusion of white
supremacy when that supremacy is
not in question and is in no way in
jeopardy. I am as much opposed to
the dominion of negroes here as
any one and am as much opposed to
the Democratic party's putting the
rule of the nation into foreign hands
and foreign Influences political and
religious. That is tenfold more
dangerous to US than negro domini'
ton can ever be. The crisis has
come and We can't postpone the
issues.
A Republican party in South Car
olina controlled by the Anglo-Saxon
is the only solution of our Southern
trouble and is the only means to pro-
tect our lives and property here to
make the nation as a unit measure
up to the stature of the manhood the
conditions Of mankind will now re-
quire at our hands. It is because
the future of the negro and the other
races ali demand that the Anglo
Saxon shall hold undisputed control
in the United States. The future of
the colored man not only here but
throughout the entire world makes
this demand the stamp OF our Al
mighty Creator, renders that verdict
irrevocable. The first article wrote
stating my position as Republican
l said "a Republican party under
the control of white men" 1 have
made this same statement to the
colored people and I really believe
large majority will heartily concur in
the sentiment. A white Republican
party is thing Of the near future
and from it there is no escape. 1t is
the only avenue now open to US OF
having any control in settling the fu-
ture destiny Of mankind and as rep
reseutative Anglo Sa1ons who should
have a pride not to be always bring
ing up the rear guard of progress
and allow the best interest of men to
,eo no onlv "a a sacondary instru-
mentality snd be forever barred away
from the front. The Spanish war
will prove blessing to US and has
brought many Of our citizens to a
clearer day. The fight is an Anglo
Saxon struggle for Postestant pro-
gressivcness against the Asaistic
