MAJ. BLACK'S LETTER.
will he generally taken ns s recog
nition, la a most conspicuous way and
by one of tho must conspicuous of
Democrats, of the popular demand for
fair election*. It is an act which WU
go far toward* staining it impossible
for -the leglgfaturo to refuse a reform
in our law*, the ncoowity of wttch
the election la .the Tenth dlstrtat went
*o far to Show, MaJ. Black'* letter,
hi which he makes Oris proposition, is
ft manly one. In a certain sente it 1*
written from a defensive standpoint,
but, nevertoeteea, in seme of Its pas
sage*, MftJ. Black dealt U* shrewd po-
110.0*1 opponent very stingxg blow*.
Recognizing the terrible ooadltton of
affairs which exftsts at the dJetriot, po-
Ktloally speaking, and not denying the
abuses of which Mr. Watson complain*
-and justly oompEa.ns-.MaJ. Black
points out very truly that neither be
nor the Democtotio party t« respou-
1* for the bitterness of the oonmet
In tout district, nor wholly responw.ble
for the abuse* at the election. H was
not Uaj. Bleak nor the Democratic
party which sought success by doing
everything possible to excite the an'.-
inosWSes of one olaa* of our citizen*
nea/Mt another. Oa the contrary, they
deprecated tost attempt, did every
thing possible to preserve the common
feeling end common sympathy of our
people with each other—to prevent the
■uooes* of the demagogic tr.ck of per
muting farmers that every other doss
la the community was tlirtr natural
enemy, and not to be trusted with a
share of toe government, it was not
.1 ooebptote defense for tiio Democmt.c
managers, or for individual Democrats
who participated vn the abuses, to *ay
that the Popiflsfla boosted of their In
tention to oome to Richmond county
with a majority in the district of eight
or tea thousand. But that boast was
a dlsSnot threat to resort to fraudu
lent practices, beaiuso 'n no fair elec
tion could the PnptdL'M nave uoped to
carry the rent of the district by each
n majority. The threat did not Justify
a resort to too mine means In Rich
mond ooamty. It Is never r.ght to do
wrong beaiuso others do wrong. But
though not a complete defense, these
boasts at Joint' partially excuse the
abuses In Richmond oounty- The
Democrats a that county felt that they
were Justified In “fighting the devil
with fire," and though wo may differ
with thorn in opinion ns to the pro
priety of their conduct, we can agree
With thorn 'that the devil's methods
were about os bad ns they could be,
and did not deserve to succeed.
Who Will bdievo that Ur. Watson
would baTO resigned bis seat and al
lowed a new eledoton, If tho vow of
Richmond county bad boon normal,
and ns a result of tha abnormal vote
In too Populist couulC.es be bud secured
tho oomoiASton? We do irk believe
ho wodih. tavo done so. That MaJ.
Black does do so gives him the ndrnn-
nigo in raising him m too estimation
of all bbnvat men and lovers of pure
politics.
Wo topo tout before the cl coil on is
held too legislature, on suggested by
Jlaj. Black, will have passed a slrlii-
gnat' cieoion law which will exclude
from too ballot box the vote -of every
man not entolllgmt enough to have
formed tin opinion on the political Is-
wire involved nnd of every me not
moved by a seuso of duty strong enough
to linvo Induced him to pay' his taxes.
Under such a law, we do not doubt
tost iMnJ. Black will be m.rly and
aqunroJy elected, and If so, hie posi
tion. In congress wil Iki stronger and
hit place in the estimation of hie fd-
low-otUzens very mbca higher.
Wo toink this JsvciopmoK lu our
politics one of too mow Important of
rtoont years—^Important, as we have
already said, because It recognizes In
a way that cannot bo Ignored tho overt
whelming popular demand for a rev
olution m our pokHuil mmhods.
KOLB'S THREAT.
Wa think the aoioa of MaJ. Black
In offereng to res gn be* teat in con
gress and aga.n oeuvres: the distr.ee
with Ur. IVatson is antlrvly avitoont
pria .siesM is American pot.tics. It a
ta eat. howovvr, that refleeva great
enadt tkun M.ij. Black and w.U do
tntuh to soften the'asperities that hare
grown cut of the reocat oonfl.ct. It
In rooonstruotlon ihtys, Alabama wa:
ono of the storm centers. It was one
of the Bintoe like South Uan llna, Lou-
Kan* and Mlsslaslppi, In which It was
exceedingly dltficult to breuk the hold
ol scalawags and oatjwe baggers on the
reins of government, backed up as
they were by .the bayonets of tho fed
eral army. During tots petted—almost
at too end of lt-on Incident occurred
which attracted nattooal attention and
for a time threatened most serious cou-
eequenena Hus was tho assembling
In Montgomery of two legislatures and
the existehec for a time of two gov-
ernmemto. Finally, after great uotthle,
this difllculty was adjusted and the
peaco preserved, but tho escape from
riot and bloodshed was very narrow.
ft seems that Mr. lleubcu T\ Kolb
Is dorrrmloed to bring about again
Just such a state of affairs. It he can.
Hia nnulfeao}, which wo printed yes
terday, announces his dotoravlnat.on to
proceed to Montgomery and take too
oath of office as governor, and coils
upon bis Aoitowera ru aU parts of the
sate to asMimblo in the: city to sup
port him and tho gowramott which |
he will then try to lrutigurato. Uo is
quite capable of carry mg oat bis part
of the programme. Ho Is a bold man,
eager for notouioty, confident of tho
sympathy of tho Republican party of
the North, wlt'.ch contributed to h.s
expenses during the Ute . ctmpolgn,
aod willing to take groat riots ou the
chance tluc he may naus lnaugurato a
conspicaoux iwBt-cal careter If h<s ad
vice to his faVy.cors. thousands ol
whom are fanatical la their devotion
to him, ideal! be followed. It is not at
all improbable toot serious trouble
may arise. There arc iiwb rtitttoultlcs,
however, in the wuy ot Mr. Kolb’S
success to his effort u> make a revolu
tion. The first Is that even his follow
er* snourtomed to ob&iicnco to law,
will refuse to follow him u> the length
which be now demands. It is rot
probsbto that any g.ea: number of
toem-tt number sufficient to be form-
Idable as a figuring force—will aszem-
We at Jloixgbmcry. Evitn iho rp.wt
derosed of his foltowent are mote I ke-
ly, rather than go to Jlow.pknerjr, to
awplt (he ptOcesMS of law and wilt
for time to vindicate whnt they bcl.evo
to be their rights.
Atari ter Is that the man who now
oocupCfs the governor's chair I* a per
son of stern darermlnation and stead
tost courage. He wCH mainuia the
bw at whatever cost. He 1s not a
nmn to shirk doty because fit Is dan
gerous In toe performance, or because
he thinks toot popularity may be lost
la toe performance of that duty. There
Is very much of the roldler }n him, a
foot which Cs generally rrcbgnred, and
the dread of toe wrong measures wVch
Governor Jones -wjH adopt, if neces
sary, will do much do keep down
trouble. He has at hi* command only
a small military force in the m.llttu
of toe state, but he has control of
greater power : n the bold which he bus
on toe respeat and oonfldeate of tho
Alsbame public—even of that part ot
tho public which bates him, but secs
in h.m a man devoted to dniy and
without fear.
As to KfSZo'i blaftm toot he wus elect
ed, toere to prctobiy no JusHoa Whatever
in U. The eleutton law of Alcbam-a la
it -mndJlcuition ot the Australian s.vs-
tom. not perfect by any means, trad
petosps needing considerable amend
ment, but which nevertheless la essen
tially a good taw. Insuring fair nud
free ejections to a fuller extent then
tne former laws In thait state, or tho
present laws -n Georgia, There Is no
good reason to believe that, in sp.te of
iw* law,' the returns of the ewe.on
tUktified the result. At any rate, the
question Is one which cannot be treated
in the way In which Kolb proposes to
tresit it. The drouxnutances are not
Bivcfa as to justify revolution. At iho
rnout, there have been only slight Irreg
uletitioe, toe results of which -l.d not
alter toe general rcslQt of toe election.
If Mr. Kcdb does not bellovo tout th s
is true, ho can go Into too founts nnd
In thorn at least bring oult liboev.deneo
that bie contention is true. Even It ho
did not win * victory in '(he oourts,
tho tefldnwny brought out would !K
passed upon by tho people, and If It
were in his favor, bis party would get
tho benefit at toe next election.

MAJ. BLACK’S PROPOSITION.
To the Editor of the Telegraph: MaJ.
Black’s proposal to resign, as published
In today** paper* receives the emphatic
disapproval of toe Democrats of Hen-
oock, who have so far expressed them
selves to your correspondent. As far as
frauds are concerned wo deny any on
the part of the Democrats of this county.
We do not wteh to be launched out Into
another oongreadonol election for a long
time to come, for such an election Is at
tended with Incalculable damage to the
people from lots of time, distraction of
mind, excited feelings and more or less
dissatisfaction all around.
Though MaJ .Black la prompted by ths
very highest motives, his course is »
- unwise one. His magnanimity fur
ies anything ever known before In
poltUca, and hi:- tho chivalry ol
the days of kntght erantry. Yet there Is
a question ot business In It which the
major overlooks. Ha forgeta the loss
which the country sustains by every elec
tion.
More than this, we feel that tha cry of
fraud raised by Watson and his party and
no foundation in fact and Is a mere po-
llUcoj trick by the Populist leader to
take advantage of his opponent's gen
erous nature. The question le, shall the
