Governor Tyler is opposed to the
Acknowledgement of the colored peo-
pie by the Constitutional Conven'
ton. He does not believe, THAI
those who are called upon and are
required to exercise all the duties Of
citizenship, including the payment
of taxes and the observance OF the
State laws should be restricted ID
voting on questions that affect the
body polite" He should have gone
further in giving his views AND
suggested the remedy for white
supremacy in counties in which the
colored brother is largely in the ma
jority. He will not say that he be-
lieves any county in the State should
be under their control and can't say
If we can't outvote them, that there
is anything left for us to do but
swindle them out of their votes, un'
less he has discovered some way by
which can make them vote with us.
The wholesale Acknowledgement Of
them of course is not seriously
thought of, but it can hardly be de-
MED that it is better for us and then
too, to curtail the right OF suffrage
so that we can be masters of the
situation. The views of the Cover

vention was called for the purpose
of getting the colored brother out Of
politics more than anything else and
it will have met in vain unless some
thing is done to.attain that end.
