Young Americans are apt 10 be inn

THE soUrH,s REPRESENTATION

It goes out from the inner circles OF the
Republican s,arty that its national con-
yartaon in the approaching convention to
be held in Philadelphia, is going to take
serious hold upon the matter OF southern
representation in Republican councils
There will be a strong movement along the
line that the Southern States are mere
rotten boroughs. 50 far as their possible
contribution TO election returns is con-
cerned. and therefore. that their voice III
the national councils Of that party should
be cut down to something proporuonate
to their true value in the election returns
whs.rhar those at the back Of this move
,ne,,t will he able to carry it through the
national convention, we, Of course, are UNI
able 10 say, but we are not IN the least
degree surprised that the movements
should have been set on foot. Tue south
er-n vote in the National Republican Con-
vantinn is what the President of the United
States if he happens to be a Republican,
desires that it shall be. The ReDuphcan
party of the Southern States consists oil
the individuals who hold Federal offices by
virtue of the Presidents appointment and
of those who hope to hold such offices,
and The vote, therefore. that Southern Re
publicans can give in national conventions
* what the President directs these tunc-
tiepa1ies to cast One-third, therefore, OF
The National Republican Convention is al
ready voted by the acting President be-
fore the convention ASSEMBLIES. We are not
surprised. therefore that Republicans from
every part of the nation should rise under
this pity tyranny ana should determine
TO ,id themselves of it, if they can posi-
bly, do so.
But this is not all. The same statement
adds that there will be strong movement
in the National Convention TO have il in
serted as part Of their platform, that
the representation of the South in Con-
cress and in the electoral college shall
be reduced SO as to give the negroes OF
The South no more representation than
their votes, which are counted. would be
entitled to. The parties behind this part
Of the movement say that if the South
will not allow the negroes TO vote the
South shall not be given q representation
based upon the number OF negro voters.
This movement will meet with stubborn
opposition from The politicians OF The
South.
For our part, while we do not want 10

[ cut down, we would be willing to make the
exchange with the North of every Con-
| gresham and every voter in the electoral
| college which the South has based on

! suffrage, and we would accept the OK
change as an Gnestlmable boon from q
