Now let ussee what the uexL
plank of the platform rs:
"2 Tho guarantee by Congress Of
equal suffrage to all loyal men in the
South was demanded by every cofsid-
Grafton Of public safety, Of gratitude,
and Of justice, and must be maintained;
while the question af suffrage in all the
loyal States properly belongs to the
people Of those States
hsk Radical who the loyal men
of the South AFRO. lie will tell you
that the white mea are disloyal,
except those carpet -beggers and
Freodmcn's Bureau agents. Ap.
plauso1 Now, that is true, accord
ing 70 his cogstruGtion Of disloyalty.
He says that ovory man that won't
INTO the rebellion ia still disloyal. -
We'll, tn, truth is that nine tonths
out Of n hundred of the substantial
mon ot the South were in tho re-
bollion We might rs we'll meet
this fact. They fought, we're con
querod and surrendered, and they
have quit, General Lee setting the
example. General Lee is not meant
here, but only Chose white men that
vote tho Ra Ito Il d.'ket They on
~ are loyal. | am not loyal when
il comes to Radical colatruOtinn
Of the term only those that vote
the Radical ticket, are loyal, and
tho negro prtlNd fdcte loyal They
say that black skin meIns loyal

is, that the white man il dlaloyal
and IA black man loyal As the law.
yors say, tho presumption runs n.
ganst the white man. So that this
guarantee hkoWise, means the no
gro. Hut if is The right Of the no.
gro 10 vutc. it is inalionable; and
why hasn't no The right to vote in
lndiaua and Ohio, as we'll as IN
Georgia Yet last fall the ques
tion oil negro suffrage was submit
tod to the people OF Ohio. and they
voted it down by nearly fifty thnus-
and majority. IL was submitted "a
the people Of Michigan, and it was
voted down by forty thousand ma
jority. But they dare not submit
tho question to tho people of lndi
ana, and they daro not do IL at the
Sodth, but they enforce il South by
legislative proOoe dings in Congress,
supported by the bay tor which
yod pay out Of your hard earned
taxos. Negro suffrage there ia a
great thing. What is this but u
purity trick What 10 this hpt IL
spotted ard piobalj platform. If
il is right for a black man 20 vote
there. il is right for hun to vote
hero. Why do this party not stand
up like mon. and advocate tho doc.

Ah, gentlemen, tnere will he PEG

with the black man. Well they
dare not submit the question squar-

prejud,ces and your passions. A
people that are powerless and help.

tho power. Ifthis was done TO the
pOople Of Indiana, so hblp mo my
