I had occasion to submit some remarks to the Senate upon "The race problemin politics." Appreciating the gravity of the subject. I approached it with hesitation. but. coming from a State with a largely preponderating negro population. it seemed incumbent on me to contribute what I could to a proper understanding of the relations to each other of the white and black races in that State. Since that time the swelling tide of black immigration has been bearing down so heavily upon the people of Mississippi that their interest in the subject has become even more urgent than before. Realizing that the peace and good order of the State and the material interests and safety of its people were staked upon the solution of this problem. I attempted to present fairly to the Senate the real situation as it appeared to me and the real causes of it as I understood them.
