monotony, have now an opportunity to scan a

improprieties which have disfgurcd SO many of
the popular works of the day.

success, having secured the names of some

The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1870-05-28

The fifteenth amendment does not
seem to help Radicalism in the charter
election, thus far. In three cities of
Illinois, Pekin. Bloomington and Quin'
cy, such elections bave recently been
held, and all resulted in Democratic
victories, as against Radical victories
year ago. In each of them was a
large colored vote poIled; and, as the
Radicals claim, for their party. In
Quincy this vote was three hundred
strong, yet the Democratic majority
was nearly four hundred and Of the
IL Aldermen elected are Democrats
Nearly the same state of facts is appa-
rent in Bloomington and Pekin. So.
also. in Indiana. On Tuesday of last
week the towns Of Madison, Columbus
aud Peru elected Democratic officers
all gains over last year. In Stanford,
Connecticut, till this spring strongly
Republican, the Democrats elected
borough officers last week, by small
majority. confirming their victory of
April 4th. These victories, following
so closely upon the fraudulent adoption
the fifteenth amendment, are signifca mt.
The indications are that the Radicals
will lose more white men by forcing
colored suffrage upon the people than
they will gain by the colored vote.
