Mnji Win. McKinlcy in a recent speech n üliio, gave his heaiers a lieap of truth n the following: Now, I bellere with Senator Sbermho hat the ftreat question of the future is bat of eqiüvlity of sufferage. It is not njr longer n questiou as io wbetber a lack maji's vote in the soiuh shall öooiit is imu-li as ¦ white man'a vote, but the ueslion is sh;ill i whUe nian's vote in iir iKirth count ni tlie vote of h white nan in the s . 1 1 1 h ? And on that. ciielon I ahvays wlH be In favor of the vote of the white man of the .south. [Cheers nel appluuse] I want to give you in he briefeit muntier pogsible two or thrce acts in coirtlection with tliis bu (Trage of lie south. The distinguished senator vlio lias preceded me has been most genIral in his statements, always ready as he elle us tells us to produce proof wtien it ii n y be qaestioned. Now, let me take three states of the DUfh and contrast them with the State of Jliio. 'l'ake Alábanla, Louisiani and South Carolina. These three itatea iiave a population of tb ree millions of people, nul the Unce state seiul ttventy-one rein sentative to tlie congressoi tiie Uoltod Staten. The state ot' Ohio has a little over thrce millions of people, and she eiids twenly-one representativcs ;¦ nmgress. Kepiesentiition in congress Is, as ou all know, under the constuutlon, aptortloned among the several statesof the Jnion accordirifr to their populati m, Diiuling all persons, white and black, nul exciuding only liuliaiis not tiixed; ii tl wc liavc under the federal apporionnicnt or 188() one repiesentative to eviry 154.U00 puoph'. Now reoieuiber, that npon that basis hr three itatea of the SOU tb. send tweily-jne nu m hels ot congnss, and the tttiie of Oble Hcmls a likc miniber. has"d ipon the same apportionment and tlic anie pupalaclou. 'l'ake the vote of 1S84 n Lhe Ihrre s-tates 1 have named. Tliey olí :U,UU0 votes and eleot twenty-one ucmliers of ciijfress; Oliio polls 7S0. 000 vol.es to elei-t the sa nu1 numbel' of rcpie-entative iu congress. [Applause] Tiny lave just as niany Tote I'S in tlio.-e tbl'ee soiilliei u states as we have III Otilo, and vet. 440,000 of tbem either voluntarllv ren:iin away froin the polls in h Öerce uesidi'iiiial contcst, oi else they are preven teil lïoin voting; or else, haviKs; voted, beir Volea were uurecoided and uncounled Now let me give you just anothcr illustiuUou. You have two disiricls in Cin¦iniiaii. You pulled in Jiulterwoith district last year 85.0OO: vou múimi i" thp . ,, -. , , ,.,,boo,vol.'s, niaking .'2,000 rotea which the city of Cincinnati and hfl county of Haniiltou polled to elcct two repiesenlaüvea in congress, while tho state of ÏSoutli Carolina, wliich elected seven repreeentiittves to congres, only )ü!led !)0,000 votes. [Applause.] You Ijollcd witliin 18,000 as many votes to Ühü two lepresentatives to Washington aë tbey polled in the entire state ot Boutll Oaiulina to send seven representatlvel to congres. Why, take the two norlliern districts of Ohio- take the old Gurfidd llstrlct (tlie iiiueteentli) [eheera and pplausc] - lake the twentielh district, which 1 have lhe honor to represent. We polled in the old Garl"iild district last year over 43,000 votes; we polled in the twentieth district nearly 45,(K)0 votes -43,000 and 44.000 makes 87,000 votes tliat we polled in tliese two northern districts - withiu 3,000 as many votes as they polled in the entlre state of South Carolina. [pplause.] And those seven represfiitntives elected by 90,000 votes come to the couress of the United States to vote down the two representutives trom Ohjowlioare elected by 5,000 or 8,000 votes. [Treoieudous applause.] Take democratie New Jersey. Democratie New.)er8ey sends seven representatives to conifruss: democratie South - - _..--o-_-. _ J _- - lina seuds seven representatives to eongress. Democratie South Carolina polled 1)0,000 votee, democratie New Jersey polled (ü,000 votes to elect the same number of representativas to coiiftress. And yet tlu-v Wil us tliat we must not talk about tliis questlon because t is reviving the recollections ot tlie war; it is leopening the gieat civil conflict which elosed more than twenty years ayo, tnd that we must forjfet the war or view thone southcrii outrajres with supreiue serenity it' we would proiper us i people and be united as a nation. My fellow-citizens, we are not discii.=sing the war; we nre not wiiring the hloody shirt; we are talking about what occurred in the year of our Lord 1884 [reat applausej, and whicli is a matter of olücial record and caunot be gainsaid or denied. I iiü-ïst that one white maii's VOte in the south hall not count as nuich na two wliite men's in the norlh. l'remeudous appluuse.] Now, Senator Sherïnuii Iim talkeil to you about the reinedy. I do not ntend to dt-tain you Upon tliiit ,-ubject; lor lie has so thorouglily -xliuusted that question that it rÖM b idle tor me t purgue the saine subject. Bq I want to say about wavlng tlie bloodv sliirt and ubout revlvlnjf the recollectionsof tlie wur, that yoi will have to stop these brass band if you don't want to revive the recollectlonï of the war. I have lieard "Mareliing through Georgia" played seventeen tiuie.i tonight [yells ot deliglit and cheers], and if tlieie is BDytblng iu God's world timt revives the splendid reeollections of the war, it is the hyinn Iliat tells U8 of that magnificent mareh 'Fiom Atlanta to the Sea," under tlie gallaut brotlier of Senator Bberman. tfjong contlnued applause]. I teil these deiuocrats tlicy must luppreH brass bands if they don't want the rooolleetious of tlie war revived. [Langhter and cheers.] TUE DKMOCRAT1C POST AI, CARD. The only thing I have been able to find of Cluvelaud's doing is thal he has made a new portal e.ard. [LaUZtater.] If there is auythiuji else I would be glad to have any democrat in tliis audience teil me what It U. There is a peculiarity about that postal card. The old postal card liiti republioan party made had on the left hand corner the goddess of libeity, tipifying our iiistiuitiou, typifylng the lil)crty and freedom of our people. The new postal enrd Grover Clevelannd bas made bas not got any goddeai of liberty OU it. hut the goddess of liberly issponged out, and the bcad of Thomas Jrllerson, the autbor of the resolotiona of '98, has been put on iu its place. There is no place 10 the democratie procession for the goddess of liberty. [Lnugbter and applause.] ___ If any man deserved to be on tlie winning side the day of the hunt, t was Al. Spencer the Lake Shore station ajient. He saw a chipmonk, shot It, and in going to piek It up, beard a noise in the bushes and looking around found that he had also wounded a partridge whicli he promptly ,iÍK,itíhBrt nnd marched In triumphantly.
