THE ISSUE.

A number Of Republicans Of Ashland
County are e~ndoavoring to mislead their
delrdcd followers by asserting that Ne
gro Suffrage is not an ~issue.-that the Re.
publican Party is not iu favor Of elcvatins
the Negro to tho level Of the white man.
The Times, however, the organ Of that
party has taker different position. Be.
lieving that the Negro should enjoy the
same privileges that the white man does,
and knowing that the people can no
longer DO deceived by their siren songs,
it has taken "a frank and manly course, ?
and has pronounced in favor of ouniver,
sal suffrage gs,stf s.5H
The following paragraph,-which was
plagiarized from tho Cleveland Leader

sMajor Dom Piatt, being the candi

that county, frankly declaring himself i
favor Of uniusisdl suffrage, and giving BIZ
reasons therefor. Major Piatt has tskel

Cox by the 0borlin Committee, which.

'1n response, General Cox makes nc

but instead, proceeds TO expound on q
new plan Of reconstruction"
On tho other hand, The CiacinnatI
Commercial says that "the statement tha'
General Cox has not pronounced agains

COST OF COLONIZATION

1t will be seen BY the following prti-
Gle, which appeared in tho Times Of
last week, that General Cox's coloni.
cation fOolery does not meet the approval
of that paper:
"-Thcre is one little objection to this
scheme. 1T would require nm outlay Of
$4,000 for each darkcy, which would
make an aggregate cost Of s S,000,OO0,.
600, provided the negroes did not'increase
any in the half century which would be
required 70 ~colonize them
Y In view of the fact that in hisreply to
the interrogation Of the Oberlin Commit
tee. as to whether he was in favor of Negro
Equality, General Cox advocated the alb,
surdity Of cOlonizing the Negro in South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Florida,
the above is a very unkind cut from q
paper that advocates his election.
But the reason is obvious why tho ed
itor of the Times opposes Cox'S plan fol
the disposition Of tho Negro.
The Abolition party attained power by
continually harping upon the fancled
wrongs of the Negro; and after waging
an "ifrepressible conflict" against Negro
slavery, for many years, succeeded in
abolisAing-i it. Now, that the Negro il
"free," the Abolition party will die with
that institution which gave it birth. II
can never again ride into power upon the
negro hobby. Honest mcn-men who
believe that "this country was made by
white men for the benefit Of white men
and their posterity forever"-are desert
ing its ranks and coming into the fold oil
that party under whose control this coun,
try grew and ~prospered as no other ma
ton has done on Gods green earth. The
editor Of the Times is aware Of the re,ac'
ton that is going on among the people
and in order TO breathe new life into hi
dying party, he is in favor Of enfranch
izing the Negro; inviting emigration
here, and expects, by controlling tn
votes of these ignorant creatures, to at
tain the ascendency in Ashland County
This is the reason be opposes colonization
and favOrs Negro Equality.
