well in practice, but We can't well help

mittcd to vote according to their own con-
yictions and incliuations. but when all The
chief rebels are par,loned and become eliy
ible to office once more. just as sure As
water runs down hill, this class of men
will fill all the offices once more. They
will not only control all. or nearly all. of
the poor whites as of yore, but somehow
they will manage to control the colored pop
ulaton, so far ~ voting i, concerned. 1t

that the par,oned traitors will not control
this class, or majority o: them: The
managing politicians OF the Tammany
School in New Yotk city control the for
eign population of that city. especially the
ignorant and vicious portion of them. By
no means would we institute COM
parison between the citizens of the Five
