and that, with the cooperation and
support of the Democrats and Con
servatives of this county, he would
compel the negro bureau candidate

pay in the future.
The President then introduced S. S.

the public that all was well in Erie
and Warren that the Disunion lead
ers in that section were demoralized
and quarreling about the quickest way

perity and harmony among the States

the benefit Of white men and their
