TIE BLACA REPUBLICANS 1T THEIR
CID TRECkS.

publican State Committee for this State (and
~ho was last Fall an active supporter Of the
Black Republican WiImot} in conjunction
with several ether unscruPulous politicians, has
Invented plan BIZ which the Hazlehurst men
and "Slraight Americans are to be seduced
into the foul embrace OF Black RepubIicanism.
Those who remember the "Union Ticket" hum
bug ol 1886, by which Fillmore was 10 be
cheated out Of the electoral vote Of Psnnsylva-
MA, viii not be astonished 10 bear of ibis new
scheme Of Mn Tom and his coadjutors. # is
the same "Union Ticket" plot over again, ana
at the bottom of II are The same knavish deina-
gogues that contrived that notorious swindIe.
If any one doubts this, let him but look at the
call Tor State Convention lately issued by ToDD
s Co., which may be seen by reference to the
columns of the Bedford Abolition organ phe
same sheet that assisted MF. Tom and other
Fremonlcrs, in their endeavors 10 sell out the
Fillmore men for the benefit Of Fremont He
will there see enough TO convince hIm that our
assertions are based on good foundations. For
instance. the call starts out with a dictatorial
recommendation from the ssI-nhed American
TSrzr z ELICEN ana Peoples Committee Of
Superintendent for the CITY Of Philadelphia"
This E.Union'' committee makes The proposition
Tor a coalition Of the 'Straight Americans
with the Black Republicans. Ii is not
proposition Of a sStraigbt American Committee
bul Of d "Uaon" Committee in which there is
strong leayen oi Black Rspublicanism Just
so vas II in 1896. The Fremont "Uni9n
Electoral Ticket" men made the proposal to
tie Fillmore men Tor a "Uuion" The sugges-
ton for fusion ticket invariably cane, as it
comes now, from the Black Republican side
That wing Of the Opposition was always desi-
rous Of combination aith the "Straight Amer-
cans for in that lay its only hope of success. II
lad nothing TO fear, either, from the .sStraigbts,
in the division ofthe spols, as owing 10 lis great
superiority in numerical strength, it could easily
appropriate 10 itself The lions share It's wire
workers are still animated with the desire to
effect such combination and hence The move
ment ol ToDD & Co.
Il there were no other evidence that the
Philadelphia s'Union7 recommendation enan-
ates hom Black Republican hands, The very fact
that the signature of GEO. A. CoFFGY is appen-
ded 10 It, would be sufficient to brand it as
having sprung from Woolly-bead sources
CorrEY is a rampant Black Republican and has
always been one of the bi.terest and most
uncompromising enemies Of the "Straght A.
mericans" and their candidates For illustra-
lion of this fact, see his Indecent and outrageous
attack en- BCcHEE SwoorE, as published last Fall
in the Bedford Abolition organ.
Another Black Republican feature 10 the
Philadelphia recommendation, is that it refers
s'especialIy' to ''the desPotic and fraudulent
Lecompton policy Of The National Administra-
ton" 1t does not refer especiaHyto the doc !
trnes of the ''Straight Americans" Oh no. /
lis Black Republican authors deemed ii sufi-
Gent 10 generalze when il came 10 those but
look out when ''BleedIng Kansas comes in for |
its share Especial reference must be had to
that hobby. The negro must be indicated
unmistaka5Iy. The Abolition plank must be |
broad and conspicuous in the "Union" plat
form.
Thus, il will be seen that the movement Of |
Topp s Co., is Black Republican trick and
nothing else-jusl as the Fremont Union Elec-
tora Ticket was in 1886. Who will be decei-
we'd by It?
05@The Abolition new spapers are trying to |
make people believe that the new Militia Law I
was Democratic measure. This is Just like |
their eGoII 10 saddle the Usury Law on the |
Democrats Like all thieves they cry "stop
ihsi - most LASTLY Let the people examine
ior themselves and see whether the Abolition
isis did not support this Militia Law.
