For about forty years they have submitted to the initiative of Northern Democrats because they be lieved a Southern initiative would be ! fatal to tlieir own political interests. According to their Northern friends, they are still reluctant.

Southern leaders, according to their friends hero, are now convinced that neither the interests of the country nor their own political interests can be conservede by blind indifference to the Democratic party. Holding to their opinions on the race question, and barred from Republicanism by the events f history, they cannot enter the Republican party. Under the circum stances, they must either abandon the Democratic party to form a new party of tlieir own or bring the old party up to tlie standard they require. ' ' Anyway, both Northern and South ern Democrats declare', i: is high time to end tee National ostracism- of the South.

"Has the South been treated fairly in the judicial department of the Federal Government?
