From the Talladega News-Reporter.
 Ere this, the platform of the Constitu- tional Convention Is known to all our cit izens. as it has been printed In every newspaper in the State, and commented upon editorially by the city sheets. All of our people are perfectly aware by this time that no blow will be struck at the right of suffrage of any white voter. and that the tax limit can not be raised be- yond It's present margin. These were the two drowning menaces, the main argu- ments adduced against holding the con vention. This being plainly understood and the opposition disarmed of it's thun- der. there is no reason why the measure should not be carried with a whoop.
