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.

C. 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 Tenth dletrlct be plunged Into another election to satisfy a few- disgruntled third party soreheads. Hancock county pro tests. R. B. ,~ Sparta, Nov. 20, 1894.
