from this district. So far there are
two ANNOUNCED republican candidates

will also be a candidate. Either of
the three gentlemen named would
give the burly Bristolian a woody

The above is from the paper, which
some time ago Was started az "ths

Ninth district" and which was back

The RsviSion Question
S. j. THOMPSON,
County Chairman.

When the facts are clearly
seen and understood, we
believe there will be little or no
difference of opinion as to the
necessity of revising the present
Constitution of the State. At
present the masses of the people
have little, or no dea as TO what is
intended, or the extent of the re-
vision proposed. This being the
case it is by no means certain that
the issue will carry, even though it
were made strict party question.
This is about the way of the mat
ter stands now: The office holders
regard the move as aimed at them
that many of them will be put
out. The colored people, and a
number of white people, too, re.
gard it as move to disfranchlse
them, and the Republicans are
seconding this idea, and denounc-
ing it as only a sharp political
move on the part of the Democrats.
Now, look at the facts: In the first
place there is no need, from q pol
itical standpoint, that the Demo-
Gratis should wish the Constitution
changed. We have the State by
an overwhelming majority, and do
not need to disfranchise a single
voter in order to hold the reins of
government. In fact, In this re-
gard it were better that we should
not revise or change the organic
law at ali, for SO long as the ne
groes and the Republican party re-
mains solid, just so long Will
the Republican party be kept
hopelessly in the minority.
For it is fair to assume that the
possibility of negro domin alton
has kept and will forever keep, the
Democratic party solid in the
State and in the South. Hence
we say, that for political reasons,
the Democrats should rather OPP
pose revision. On the other hand
the Republican party should favor,
for political reasons, the elimina-
ton CT incompetent colored vote
entirsiy from politics. The party |
has been catering to this votes
since the war, and it has been an in
cubus--a dead weight, on their
shoulders. So there is no need of
. revision of the Constitution, on
this ground, so far as the Demo
Gratis are concerned, and the charge
that it is a political trick, is with
out foundation, and any moder-
ately sensible man oughC to be
able to see it.
The present Constitution needs
revising, from an economical and
9 moral standpoint. There are
many leaks in the treasury which
can be stopped only by repeal of :
certain statutes, and the passing I
OF new ones. There are too many :
ONCE holders, and too many cleo I
tions. New laws to reach certain 7
cases should be inaugurated, for q
instance there are large corpora t
lions In the State that are paying I
little or no tsxes, and there is no u
law to reach them. The cost of a

make this race, that l may be able
thereby to pay my debts, and support
myself and family, and if the good peo-
pie of Marion County will elect me l
will fill the Office faithfully, without
partiality to any, and fairness 10 all.

talents and means, done what | could
for the up-building of the county, ire
