MORE SOUTHERN POLITICS.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The letter Of T. T. Hicks in your
paper several days ago on southern Re
publicans-Their Motives and Principles
Seen I'm North Carolina" attracted my at
tention and reminded me that know some
thing about Southern political methods and
,nius,ice from actual experience and obser-
walton gained during residence In Texas
from 1859 to 1879. Mr.. Hicks states many
plain. Impressive truths in his short letter,
hut he falls far short OF telling the whole
story.
We all know that practically there is only
ono party in the South, and that by un-
constitutional disfranchisement, outrageous
methods and appeals 20 the prejudices ana
sectional feelings of the people in the
South the Republican party Is euchred out
Of thirty-fiye Congressman and thirty-nNe
electoral votes, and that political opposition
,s completely strangled. or course. just
enough opposition to Democracy Is aoo"eu
To give political contests the semblance or
an election, but not enough to endanser
vhooping Democratic victories. All know
that from 5000 to 1900 votes elect Con-
gressmen in the South, while In the North
moro than 5000 votes are pOiled In every
Congress district. In other words. one
vote in the South counts for as much as
three or four do in the North. with such
facts before u.s. have we got government
Of the people. by the people. for the peo-
ple"2
In the name Of justice and liberty. In
the name OF perfect freedom, fair play and
a SQUARE deal, and in behalf Of free speech
an emancipated conscience in the South and
perfect political liberation with an equal
chance for all, ask how much longer these
conditions will be allowed to exist?
