Democratic and know-N othiny Fusion

If we are not mistaken, in some of his
speeches then, he gave preference to the
negroes voting, over the foreigner. Now,
this gentleman, without having recanted-
without having taken back one single word
of denunciation and abuse Of the Odd

At an American Convention held in
