Only smile and a word of praise.
Making these lives less dreary.

Republican Attitude Toward the
Suffrage,

While the negroes of the State feel much
concern over the possible action Of the
Constitutional Convention touching the
race, the Republican party is taking a
very philosOphic view of the situation.
Republicans say they have nothing to
lose and all to gain by whatever is done.
Many of the shrewdest among the Re
publicans confidently count on the con-
vention's action as to the suffrage prov
ing boomerang. With the negro buga-
boo out OF the way, the Democratic party
in Virginia and in the South generally
will be walking on thin ice all the time,
and will have to be very circumspect to
maintain its supremacy right along. They
are quite willing for the Democratic party
to dig pit and then fall into it.-Staun-
