OPPOSED TO AMENDMENT
1t Would BE a Strike at Foundas
dation OF the Republic,
says Col. Wynne.

Col. II. M Wynne, of Fort Worth,
in opposing the proposed amend
ment to the constitution of the
state, says:
/ had without due consideration
made up my mind to vote for said
amendment, and had so expressed
myself to Hon. A. w. Terrell and
quite number Of other gentlemen.
was influenced in my conclusions
from the fact that | thought that it
would largely eliminate the negro
vote, which was forced on the south
as punishment aud humiliation
by the victorious North, and was,
and is, curse to the negro and a
shame to civilization.
But upon more mature reflection
cannot consent to strike the foun
dation Of our republic in order TO
get rid of the negro. No such un-
limited power should ever be sur
rendered to the legislature by the
people as 10 permit their disfran-
chisement by hxiug poll tax which
would exclude the poor man. The
present trend Of our government is
dangerously towards a moneyed and
corporate oligarchy. 1t would seem
that our state government is now so
dominated by corporate influences
that the corporations have absolute
control. They have dictated the
laws they wanted and defeated what
they did not want, for the last -four
years. Give them the power 10 dis
franchise the people by the imposi-
ton of a poll tax which might be
increased TO any limit and the peo-
ple will be at their mercy. God for
bid that that condition should ever
come. Intellectual qualifications
to vote may be made with safety
and Justice; property qualification
never, without striking at the heart
Of the republic. r. NJ. WINNE.
