The Next Presidency.
Written for the Fayetteville Observer

To the Editor Of the Obseryer:--
Although so early in the season,
there is great anxiety Oh the part Of
the oppositicn(of whatever name they |
may go by. whether black republicans,
republicans, or know nothings J to

honor to themselves and glory to the

jr., Of St. Louis, was the death knel
Of Black Republicanism in the Stat,
