Franklin of the woolly stripe, unless they
Ieankget some Democrats to lamalgamate

any account it they could elect a full
bIooded negro suffrage ticket within their
own party. They would not .for the world"
mix up with fhs F-Gopperheadss eTere it

Legislature, and even one Or two county
officers, would be a great gain, enough to
induce them to do almost anything. " To do
this they must divide the Democracy of this

even compromise all the offices on
the ticket, if by SO doing they
could make right sure thing of one Repre-

We have not heard of any calls for, mass
conventions in the counties of Ashsabula,
Greene, Clark, Warren, Lorain. &C., to
nominate tickets mixed with Republicans,
Democrats or American citizens of Afri-

are sufficient In these counties for all their

Nominated, but no Democrat. Gentlemen,
that thing won't work in old Franklin.
The prospect of SUCCESS is too unproinising
to- tempt q Democrat, even though he
should so far forget himself as to be
"loaned out" for such a purpose. You
must try this TRANSPARENT game in some
county where Democrats are raised
on green sai stuff. . and educated on
political matters like yourselves. The De-
mocracy Of Franklin county are invincible;
they cannot be bought for office prospect,
hef induced to. lend themselves to the CON-
mon enemy as tools whereby the grand
party of this county can be divided or dis
organized, and when the polls shall close
on the evening, Of the second Tuesday of
October next the ballot-boxes will reveal
such a majority as will make, every true
lover of eur country feel as though he was
proud of being numbered among the true
and tried hosts of the uneonquerable. De-
