The Macon Telegraph, quoting John‘Sharp Williams, believes that the negro plnnk in the Re publican platform has behind it the aim of a new force bill for the South.

We cannot see haw the plank to reduce our representatives could aim at a now force hill, al- though it involves in its moaning a bitter insult to the south. The republican party dosirep, above alt things, to perpetuate its pow er; resorting to all kinds of du plicity and expedients, bnt they will not soon forget tho crushing defeat on the heel of their at tempt Vo throttle the South by Senator Lodge’s bill.
