General Logan stated ia q recent speech In Cleveland
that seemed the copperheads objected negro suf-
frage for fear that the negroes may next commence
marrying the whites As far as he was concerned he
had fear Of republicans marrying blacks, for the
reason as it was matter OF TASTE that their taste did
not run that way. But seeing that the democratic
leaders were in such mortal fear Of their followers

majority OF said votes be against convention then no
such convention shall BE- held under this act provided
