other districts, for the district which the
Republicans claimed MANN was elected to

The man MANN, declared elected from,
the district, died, and to fill the vacaucy,sa
negro was elected. This opened up the
question whether the Radicals would carry
out their principles and their pledges made
to their negro allies of sharing sthe offices
with them. But false to everything, they
were treacheroiis to the negro. I. He went

Radical party in Congress from Ohio, who

Courts that black is ao7site, refuse to associate
with this white negro-refuse to allow him
to mingle with them in debate and in voting,
or to sit by their side in Congress. IA ne

Radical ticket, but not good enough to be
member of Congress while these sweet

silly souls thought that they were tofbe

The leaders of the Radical party held
the word OF promise to the ear While, they
broke 1t to the hope. The negroes spent
their money to elect Gov. HAYES and the
Radical Ticket, but to them and for their
darling hope, it was money spent in vain.
The Radicals are false to their negro allies,
as they have proven themselves false to
every promise made and pledge given. so
it is and SO will it be ina party that has no
principles to keep ittogetber, and as
