The record makes no distinction Of color In

were still 2O,074 whites voting the same way.
But the truth Is, probably, that the affirmative
vote was pretty evenly divided as to color, or
say, at the most, $4,000 blacks to AZ, 900 whites
OF the nays, $4,000 at least were whites, and,
possibly, 1000 colorcd, 30 that the white vote
on the question was about 10000, or 5000

The Democracy Of the Fourth District
ia Convention assembled here, on Tues
day last, nominated Judge Reid, Of this
place, as their Congressional standard
bearer in this campaign. Judge Reid is
regarded as their strongest man--is a

enough to have individually favored the
prosecution Of the war for the Union, and
ut the same time acted with the party that
opposed il 10 accepting The nomination
from The reac,ionsry peace Democracy,
Judge Reid draws line over whatever
good record he may have made during

Reid should be supporting Julian as he
did eight years ago, but consistency long
