The Political Red Shirt ln the
South.
Savannah (Ga. J News.

Savannah (Ga. News.
The red shirt, as a Southern De-
mocrat;c campaign emblem, came
into being as a protest against the
Republican party's waving of the
ssbloody shirt, defiance of that
party at the polls, and a fred badge
of courage" to warn the Republicans
that the South would not longer sub
nit to negro domination. The
s'bloody shirt had its origin in
Kuklux days, and is supposed to have
been worn by negroes shot by Kuklux
Klan. It was the custom of Republi-
can campaign speakers, both North
and South, to fguratively draw out
and wave the bloody shirt before their
audiences, for the purpose of keeping
sectional feeling high, and inaaming
the negrees against the white people
OF the South. The first Democratic
red shirts, indeed, were made of
white cotton, and splashed with red
paint or dye, in imitation Of the
"bloody Shirt Later, however,
the solid red took the plnce Of the
red-splashed white cotton. The red
shirt, however, has not been seen OF
late years. Its revival in. North
Carolina means mo. negro domina-
tion," as it did years ago.
