Every day's . revelations afford
evidence thai the hold of ex-Pres

by his anti-silver coinage .letter,
The great body of the Democratic
party differ with him on that ques

tnajt they are not disposed Jto break

It will be remembered.. that a .few

elated himself against Cleveland and
in favor of Gray; yet with the in flu
enco of these two distinguished and

: The censes reports on ths con
vict population of the count'ry'pre-
sent a striking commentary on the
charge that the negro does not re
ceive due consideration in theceurt
of the South. It is shown that Mas
sacVusttts sends to the Penitentiary
m proportion to the colored popula
tion si'i times as mariv necroes as
Mississippi; New York fourteen
times as many, and Nebraska six
teen times as many. The propoi
tion of convicts to the negro popu
latie ri is lowest in Mississipi, but is
far lewer in every Southern State
than it is in the North. It appears
that the negro finds . his best oppor
tunities in the South. He either
behaves better here than he does in
the North or his sins are more read
ily forgiven. The census reports
ought to " put an end to the silly .1
