should arrange that apportionment upon bip n a sliding 0 scale to fairly ke keep cp pace with ibe the whitening process BO so rapidly going on through amalgamation t there is an inconsistency in the he representative apportionment that should be remedied huft bilt did mr douglas allude to that inconsistency or point out a a statesmanlike method for obviating it and by out evenhanded even handed justice to black as well as ts white strive to allay the tha storm that is so rapidly rising on account of injustice and oppression such a course wisely pursued would have been worthy his position but he evades that point as one that might risk votes and frothily exclaims iet let t us join issue with them and put ourselves upon the country for trial what do you mean by those expression expressions

the anonymous letter writers would the senator like to risk so much as the chance of only ohly his own life with such witnesses arrayed against him would he not rightly and most strenuously object to their being C heard then why adduce thein in a studied effort to jeopardize the lives of a whole community the reports have been furnished by disappointed politicians and others who never did know us but had formed formed a prejudice against us on account of our religion and whom the speaker knew or ought to have known had been soured and maddened by disappointment in their senseless quest for office by being thwarted in their corrupt desires and practices by being reproved for transcending the bounds of or well defined duties while leaving those duties unattended to and in short by learning that they had bad been weighed in a correct balance and found wanting L an divere I 1 in n a region where lies wh whore domb doms and all other abominations of 0 modern civilization are very

novel that a mail man professing to possess even a small portion of good sense should assert that merely increasing the number of lies strengthens a position founded in that a given number of added lies increases the consistency and plausibility bof lof of the first lie however the remark in that parenthesis is a fair specimen of the mode of argument invariably brought to bear a against 11 ainest the saints in which the wicked imagine perhaps that they are doing baing 0 valiant service for the welfare of mankind when they are only selfishly serving their own corrupt des designs ns and
