The great trouble with the party
is tina. there is no uniform style NV
meetln this question. On the main
question we are all agreed. We all
oppose Niger Suffrage! Its part
and parcel NV a Dimokrat's nacher
to oppose niger suffrage. The
leaders NV the party opposed it at the
beginnin, for seein how the ballot
wuz abused by ther followers they
trembled for the Republik eff it wuz

poet sez:

sturdy yeomanry felt it to be a sooth

The great trouble is we oppose
nigger suffrage now from too many
stand-points. Some oppose it on the
skore NV the inferiority Nv the Atri-
kin, but that never wuz a popler idea
with our people. They hev assented
to it outwardly, but in their own
minds they objected. ''Ef," says a
reliable Dimokrat TO hisself, 'sef that's
the rool, wat in thunder is to become
NV me?"
Likewise the idea NV onfitness,
