Senator HOar Reviews the Race Con-
ditiOnS in an Unprejudlced
Manner.

A portion Ex-senator Hoar speech
the other day before the Union League
club of Chicago, that was overlooked in
the telegraphiC report East, touches in
interesting fashion on race conditions in
the South.
| know how sensitive our Southern
friends are on this matter Of social
equality and companionship, and
think | might say fairly and properly
and that perhaps | have right to say
it-that it is not wise for the people of
the North to undertake to deal rashly
or even to judge hastily of feeling so
deeply implanted in their bosoms
Time, the great reconciliator, will
reconcile them to that if in the nature
of things and in the nature Of man they
ought to be reconciled to it, And if in
the nature of things and the nature of
man time does not reconcile them, it
will be a sign that they ought not to be
reconciled to it; and that some other
mode of life for them must be devised
Now, my friends, having said what
| thought to say on the subject, perhaps
| may be INDUCED in adding that, al
though my life politically aud person
ally has been life of almost constant
strife with the leaders of the Southern
people, yet as | grow older | have
learned not only to respect and esteem,
but TO love, the great qualities which
belong TO my fellow citizens of the
Southern states. They are noble race
We may well take pattern from them
in some Of the great virtues which
make mp the strength as they make mp
the glories of the free states. Their
love of home; their chiyalrous respect
for women their courage their con.
stancy, which eau abide by an opinion
or Il purpose or an interest for their
states through adversely and through
l'''' b"tA'i 'Ai''Nh WV '''lo 'iI'i tll'
the generations; are thing 10y which
the people Of the more mercurial North
may take u lesson And there is an
other thing--covetou corruption,
the low temptation Of money has not
yet found any place in our Southern
politics.
Now, my friends, we cannot afford
to live, we do not wish to live, and we
do not live in state Of estrangament
from people who possess these quail
ties, The are friends Of ours born Of
our borning; flesh Of our flesh blood
Of our blood and whatever may be the
temporary error Of any Southern state,
/, for one, If have right to speak for
Massachusetts,, say to her, 'entreat me
not to leave thee, nor to return from
following after thee. For where thou
goest | will 20, and where thou stayest
| will stay also, And thy people shall
be my people and thy God my God -
