You need not expect to get into power
by bioodshsd or by saying that you srs
Ooing To Fuu the machine, and If "
don't let you in that you will get a hu
KIux dress and come in disguise, for VI,
have got hold OF Andrew Johnson, whC
was considered the father OF the Ku
Klux, and when We did get hO.d OF hin
he kicked and ragged, but he had the ad
vantage OF Us in consequence OF having
the offices in command. II his cOnclud
ing remarks, after eXpstisting at som,
length on other questions, he addressed
the members Of the Legislature TO trim
their lamps and stand by the principles
for which they had fought. The Con
gress of the United SEstes were deter
mined to stand by not only their party
but by sll men. Peace and quistude W
will have or We will not stop uutil VI
have secured iE fo- all times.
Some who were ia attendance, ant

marks Of the speaker and left before b
concluded,

ponded in few remarks, aftsr whicl
the meeting di5persed.
