Show the federal election bill which passed the house re cantly by a vote of to is causing a good el of comment throughout tho country and tho more tho measure is studied tho less it appears as though it can bo enforced in south A republican writes tho chicago in ocean on the subject of the bill if it becomes law and ho has summed tho question up as follows 1 that in every republican district of the north the democrats will petition for national supervision of tho election to increase the expenditure and make the system odious this ii i i simply crediting the enemy with comman and human impulses if it were a democratic measure DO one can doubt that the republicans would do the same they wo jd be foods if they did not A in all democratic districts the republicans will petition for federal supervision hoping thereby to make a gain by reducing tho majority or by seeming some advantage in the local election 3 there will be no supervision by federal authority in any district of the south where the bourbons have power to prevent it or render it in efficient they have this power in nearly every district of the we ought to know by this timo that they aro not squeamish about the means by which a desired end is ac we believe this is coming near th arno state of affairs aa they will exist if the bill becomes law it will ba almost impossible to enforce it in most sections of the south the whites aro determined that they shall not bo ruled by negroes and wo do cot blame them for the resolve so any law that tends to place the government in the hands of the negroes will 0 o fought to the bitter end the election bill proposes to do this as tho measure is intended to break up the solid south if it can possibly be done the cry of northern republicans ever since tho war has been that great fraud is perpetrated in the south in not according the negroes their full rights at the polls the fact is that if the existed in the north they would receive ho bettor treatment there seems to bo some barrier between the two races of people that does not admit of a white man meeting a negro on terms of equality in all instances and it invariably becomes obnoxious to have negroes domineering over the whites those southerners will never stand it that is the long and short of the law cr no law |
