"Look hara, Feltou.” said I, "do you

United State* Senator Marlon Hiilier
liaa put himself on record against Ui«
o.inslllu'.loaal amtudovut. Senator
Duller la la Waalilngtuu now and llie
following appeared Id Ilia Washington
Puat of yesterday:
"l shall luko Hie ntump In North
Carolina agai n: l lie proposed suffrage
amendment to the omutiuitlon,” aald
Senator Marion Duller, of Uiat State,
last evening at the Shnrvham. "Tbe
PovulLala bare not tbui far expressed
tbemaavee an the subject and have
belt! aloof from the onnlail. I do not
•ae liow I run consistently remain si
lent while tile laiue la bring fought
out, nod therefore abatl work to defeat
the amend nteut."
Three atalnaiiiti. whlcb put llie
Senator squarely In nppoaltloo to tha
Democratic leaders with whom he tins
worked shoulder to shoulder In hi
tioaal oaianelgu*. aalled out Quite an
rxleuatve explanation. “I was dis
posed at drat to look upon the proposed
■ttoeadmenl with favor." be said, “If I
could Hud anything In It that promised
to vtluitaate the race issue from North
I Carolina pollllaa. Toe cry or negro
domination Is familiar la oar oar cam
! palgns. and 1 bate often bad to meet
1 It. Wt.su I have Injected - real Iona
into the canvass that my o. . onrnU
could not answer, tiny havs luvariably
raised the race leeue.
“rue amendment. if It should bn
carried, would disfranchise tbe country
negro, who la li.duetrioue aud docile,
•od with whom we have no difficulty,
and pal tbe ballot lo Ibe Intucs of the
ctt) ongro, who it continually a din

would probably bold the balaucn of
power sod could Lis used by Democrats
who would s<y that the suffrage had
been bsstowud upon them to aura the
ulectio t fur lb* Ddurocnstic party.
Wo sbouid liavo the race issue In poli
tics is >i« l Hall ever.
“Tbeo If wbat we rail tlia uraud
fatbers’ clause, allowing suffrage lo
those who an deeoendeuts of men who
voted, prior lo ties civil war, should bo
adopted. I bare little doubt that it
would be declared uncoiittUatlnnal ly
llte oourts. The Democratic party
would then have disfranchised a large
proportiuu of the white element, wuo
have been mo»l troublesome to their
control of party affairs. As 1 owe much
of my public career to the Votes of
three sains people, 1 do not care to
ri.k helog put In Urn attitude of hav
lug helped In tnelr dlklrauobUeuiciit.
Again, tlinald the courts ductai-e ilia
entire aaieudment uaooiitillutlooal, as
Is not improbaiile. the Democrat*
would hav* further advantage in Iwhig
able to claim that tbelr ell -rts to act tie
lb- race question for all time bad
proved futile.
"1 wltli,’' cootIuq-kI th* Senator,
“that Just for live seUleiDenl of this
atneDdmcol there was to bo no negro
vote m the North Carolina election
nvxt year. I believe tbs rtwult would
be n wholesome example, for North
Cirolir.a has always been generous iu
granting suffrage to her oitixsos 1 am
uocvtoced if th* qassttoo were brought
to a fair and square vote of the white
people alone, they would v-»to the
amendment down overwhelmingly.
Such a vote would be a tnbitke to the
unfair election laws of tbe grain, which
were copied from those of Kentucky,
and which arc Intended solely to en
able thnoe in power to steel election*."
Senator Uutler staled that the elec
tion of Tuesday seemed to him of lit
tle eignlOctnce, except to establish the
oonvlclhins of both parti** more (Irm
ly. “Hry**." be said, "has onied the
State of Nebraska, aud will certainly
be the candidate for President next
year. To be sure the Democrats have
reclaimed Maryland, but local condi
tions had more to do with Hie result
there than the national let nee.”
For a 1’--pulls', the Senator's ettl
lude toward ilia war In tbe Philippines
Is very generous. "Petbap* llio war

tbe courro of quit* a conversation oo
