Warren Keifer, from the seventh Ohio district,! former house of speaker representatives, of the national is said | ' to be preparing to try and reduce the South’s representation. He says: “All I contend for is equai vot¬ ing power in all the states in elect¬ ing members of the house of rep¬ resentatives. and in electing a president of the United States, i This eqnaliiy of right should be conceded; and no principle of generosity to the south require.- any such surrender of a funda¬ mental principle of our form of government. With election laws in substantial accord in all states, and with the natural tendency to prevent restriction of the elective franchise, population, without re¬ gard to race, is a fair rule for de termining equal representatidn. “A just rule of representation should be found, and great care be taken to avoid the pos¬ sibility of doing injustice to any state, and whatever rule ia adopt ed must be applied north as well as south. “If the states south insist in disfranchising ihe colored race* and certain of the white race, the few therein who gather to them¬ selves and for all officers, should not assume that by their acts of disfranchisement they have been casting upon themselves the rights and powers taken, right¬ fully or wrongfully, from other citizens of their btates, when their doing so results in giving them a greater voice in the government of the United Btates than their fellow citizens of other states of the union possess. “The time is past for claiming that to insist on a voter north hav¬ ing an equal voting with a voter south is an attempt to raise the race question, and to thereby in¬ cite the colored people south to commit violence, or that a de¬ mand for such equal power is an attempt to bring about social equality between the white and colored races. “If violence is incited, it is by reason of the disfranchisement, not because the north demands equality, voter for voter, with the south. “Social equality never belong¬ ed to the exercise of political rights, and it never will.” “It is said the people south do not vote because there are no cont-'-sts in many -places. The lack of fair contest in electing members must be charged to dis¬ franchisement by law, or o ther methods, It was not formerly so, as we have seen. The natural desire of every citizen is to exer¬ cise the high privilege of voting, and there is always some grave reasons for his not doing so. “The constitution and laws of disfranchising states are widely different, though in general adop¬ ted in each state to accomplish the same end. This makes the question of fixing congressional representatives very difficult, but being difficult is no reason why it should not be done at all. “It being clear that the right of many male citizens of proper age to vote has been denied or abridg¬ ed, it remains for congress to do its duty by enfoicing the four¬ teenth amendment, as well as the other provisions of the constitu¬ tion, especially as its enforcement will result in the equality in rep¬ resentation in the house of the representatives and in equality of the voter, and in the election of the president. Thomasville is agitating the advisability of building a fine ho¬ tel for the purpose of catching the millionaire tourists. Clear-Cut And Sensible. Colonel J. H. Eatill, one of the several eminent and ambitious cit izens who have taken time by the forelock and announced that they would like to become governor of Georgia two and a half years hence, in a statement given to the newspapers taaes a sensible, clear-cut position on one ques¬ tion that will appeal strongly to the plain, sturdy people of the state who do not believe the pres enoe «f bayonet and rifle at the court houses is necessary to the preservation of order and the en foreement of law in this peaceful and enlightened commonwealth. He says: “I do not believe in sonding any troops into any county in this state until the civil authori¬ ties have exhausted every avail ablq,means of maintaining peace and order whicn they have local¬ ly at their command, and until it is absolutely necessary to prevent riot and bloodshed. I favor the enforcement of the law, but i f should be enforced by the civil authorities, and when the civil authorities are defied and there is no question but that without the aid of troops citizens will be killed, then only would l send troops. The maintenance of law in the several counties where there are enough white people to enforce the law should be left to the people of those counties. I won’t send any troops into any county for the purpose of overaw¬ ing the people of the courvty. Our young men are not policemen or constables. It is far from being the province of a soldier, but if the necessity arose, under the circumstances I have named, I would send troops in such force as to insure the restoration or maintenanceof peace and order.” —Dawson News.
