lead of th tho campaign in person southern republican mackey says saya the political political wat effect of seating him not the principle of the thing is actuating the democrats to filibuster the democrats are satisfied that the seating of one or two republican contestants from the south this year will encourage the republicans in numerous districts throughout the south where no contests were made last election to make such this year year I look upon the filibustering of democrats as a fight for the next house rouse they feel certain the republicans will loso lose a number of districts in the north while the republicans especially in the south on the other hand feel they will gain a number of districts in the south if two or more of their southern contestants in this congress g ress are seated the democrats seem to think that if they can keep republican contestants from the south out this time they will make no contest for seats in the next congress by a failure of these contests contest ants the southern republicans would be greatly dis heartened in their future efforts to obtain their rights there is no doubt that many democrats in tho the south aro are getting sick and tired of being forced year after year to commit these outrageous frauds to return solid democratic delegations from those states to congress therefore in nearly all southern states where the tile legislatures have redistrict districted re edthe the state one or two districts at least have invariably been set off as republican to be represented by republicans this is the case in at least ten states in tho the south in some of these there will be two republicans public ans elected and sent to congress so that there will willbe bo at least twenty republicans in the next house from the south
