Ings 1 believe tho trouble is nttiioiil
nblotoono of twocaucs either there
existed no good cau c lor alarm on tho
pint of the whites or there have been
nt work among the ignorant negtoes
lenders probably of their own color
working ror politic il reasons This
latter Is not it far fetched
iciison for tho Kipiihleiin party has
utyuii its logrolling and has to make
a dospcrato Htrugglo at any cost
Where the negtoes mo Illicitly nettled
In the Hlnto they are for the most part
mi Igtioiiml ns to mistake their aggre-
gate number nnd Htrenglh as exceed-
ing that of the whites and being so
cabllv led or misled might rise up and
do harm IJut If they do why the
