Tb? . probabilities are, the ' almost inevitable consequences lanced will be, a light to a finish in the November election, with the negroes holding the ?halanco of power and thus controlling. I lay down as a general principle, which no honest man can dispute safe ly, or object to. that every white Dem ,. K" i- J.,iiuj *~ vote under the rules.and regulations or the party should be allowed to vote once, and once only, and that that vot? should be counted honestly and the result de?, dared promptly.

Tbs club r?tis we havs now are old and have not bee? revised or correct ed In a long while. .

This ts a fruitful source of K '. fraud, and'our first effort shonid be 1 to get an absolutely new enrollment of the Democrats wno are entitled to vote under the rules of the party, ?g Por relisons that are apparen t to an y j*" maa who thinks about lt, after the & new rolls are mada np. end this should BT h? done by a given dsto-they should BL b* flied tn some con renient placo * where they can ba. examined to d? fi-- tect If there has been any fraud prac K-? - tied tn plasms mmM ita them.

No man should be allowed to vote whose name has not been enroll ed tn accordance with the above reg ulations.' if tin money can be had, it would be he Wet! to have the club rolls publish ed in- some one county paper twenty days before the primary; but as I fear this may be considered too expensive, the- filing of one of them with thc clerks of court end the county chair mad is sufficient in my judgment. -Tire,-voters, when they enroll, should State the place of residence giving the street and number of the house, if they live In a town, or the township when7 residing in the country. The club.roll should be made up of men from two townships or two wards bu t each 'aub-dlvlslon. of-a county or city should have one club and no more. The residents of teat .political sub division could then d-;*e.-mine whether any. fraud has been ??ractic ed in tbe enrollment or not. This regulation will compel me to go six miles to vole in tbe primary, although there is at pussent a voting precinct'within half a mite of my home. But no inconvenience can be tCC ts prevent our ?wk?ur. ev rrj precaution possible to prevent fraud, or the charge of lt. .Too Free and E**y. The promiscuous enrollment such ss we have always had, the free and easy way in which we have conducted our political affairs, will not do now that white men have grown so suspicious and unsuspicious. The honors and emoluments of office are so great that inevitably human selfishness and greed will cause men to act the rascal. ,'. On .the day of tbe election, no man not enrolled according to these rules should be stamped and the' voter's name-checked off 'the club list, show ing, that be has voted once at that pre. clnct.
