The party claimed, and as the time was ap-
preaching when the candidates should be
chosen, he would say that they should be

said In regard TO an equal distribution Of
office, work, &C., they had been disappointed.

success Of the Republican party here de-
pended on the white and black Republicans
being united.

black men would 20, although the colored
men would rather do anything before voting
the Democratic ticket.

the remarks Of the preceding speakers.

office, although they were willing to receive
