The secretary added: "1 believe that nothing that could happen In the polltlce In thin country would work greater advantage to the country at large and to tho South In particular than the breaking up of what has been properly known ns the ‘solid South.'

They adopted amendmenti to state constitutions with ths so-called 'grandfather clauses' Intended tn apply the new quallllcatlone to the negro and not to apply them to the whiles." He added that thero "was enough of Independence even nmong those rep resentatives to give the vote which mode the ennel possible^ but the very fnct that morely to accomplish supposed advantage to the benv party, a majority of tha senatora of the South were willing to eacrlflce her material Interest! and delay the great reject of eurh capital Importance to er Indicates the dleadvantage that ahe labors under In having It appear that she Is Uad Irretrievably to the Demo cratic parly."
