the mere 1 study that report the
stronger my < pposition and the greater.'
the danger J see in it. let us
analyze the Suffrage Commit t? proposed
articb ?:
In the first p!a> ?. here is a sweeping
i lauso positively disfranchising every
white man in South Carolina who m
uot aldo b-th to read tin 1 write; vr
does not own r?ml pay tnx? s upon $.100
worth r property in ' r.r Staff. This
language ih too plain to he misunderstood.
It is a total lisfniuchiseinoiit
of the poor and illiterate whit, mat),
as well ie? the negro tailoring under
tLe sane fii'litieal disability *.
"lint there iv a tail to this snJlrag'ltiti,
in n. or viso that h ?M-: good until
.Jniriary 1. !s'?m, which permits the
registration ollieer. ii ho s jit and
proper t.i <lo ?n. to grant a par-Ion to
Mich \otirs as he may see lit ami
proper, subject 1> his aruiu'tv for
the h'-iuoUH eiitno of being poor ami
illiterate nml thus place tlieni upon a
political eipinlity with the cducuted
negro ami who has accumulated property.
Iiat even this proviso ia coupled
with a provision so iguomiuous and
degrading that a proud-spirited Anglo
Saxon voter would sooner lose his right
of Kuflrage than to accept such political
charity. Here is what Seuut< r Tillman's
report says:
"'A separate record of all illiterate
persons thus registered sworn to by the
registration officers, shall be lileil. one
copy with tho Clerk of the Court, oue
copy with the. Secretary of State, etc.'
"Jn other words, for n poor uneducated
man to vote, after this law passes, a
palpable and a bare face fraud must ho
committed, and then the name of tho
luun-li.-iuru ,.f 4 1.;- .......4 i...

tiled as a public record, both at his
court honso tuul at the St itc Capitol
jn Columbia. It will bo a public ami
pcrpetuul document of reproach upon
thousands of honest family names in
South Carolina, and tho descendants
fof'generatious to cotnc of these par
Honed voters will have the fact thrown
' in their teeth that their ancestors being
poor and illiterate w ere: permitted
to vote in direct conflict with tho spirit
of their Stat*: Constitution, through a
pardon and special act of sufi'rugo.
"Why, no brave and proud spirited
white man in the old 1'a 1 met to State
would accept nuilruge under any such
conditions:, ami would poo nor lose Lin
right to vote and he shoved oil' in tho
name boat with the Sea Island negro.
Ho would then indeed be a political
exile iu tho State of his birth, but the
hones! name that, he will bequeath to
his children would not bo tiled among
tho arebieves of South Carolina us are
the names of pardoned convicts.
"1 am responsible for the culling of
??ur Constitutional Convention. I
pledged tho white voters of South
Carolina that not one of them should
lose hi.s ballot on account oT ignorance
or provertv, and 1 shall sacrmlly keep
this solemn covenant; and if it ibroken
by Senator Tillman and the
convention it will he with my denunciation
of the infamous plot ringing in
thn cara ot~ the delegates. What brave
and s. ir respecting uhitenmn de-ires
his names handed down to future
gt jicrntions as heingso povertystricken
and ignorant that a separate clause
!m>] to I* engrafted into the Constitution
of his St at c to enable Iiiui to vote.
'I liftv unsheathed my sword and
thrown away the wnbbard. 1 am in
the battle to the end. No poor and
