The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1870-05-05


Think of that, Senator's! The COM
mon school system draws from the
pockets of our people more than So
100000 a year, and our State has so
many religious people that positively
they have had to build churches every
year to supply those who want seats
in them to degree that is perfectly
amazing. And YOU all know, who
have seen Ohio, that her citizens are a
law abiding set of people, but even
there horrible crimes, are committed,
too horrible to mention. You cannot
take up newspaper without reading
of them. If this condition of the
South, is nothing more than the con-
dition of the North, if it is simply the
condition of society, if it is simply
what happens everywhere-for there
have been Traupman's in America as
we'll as in France-if that is so, what
reason have you to complain, what
reason have you to make fuss about
it. T es5 5E l1E
No, you go upon the principle that
the South is in an abnormal condition
that property is not as safe, that life
is not as safe, that liberty is not as
safe there as in the North Thai, is
the reason why you say something
needs. to be done. Yon have tried
to bring about a normal condition. of
things by military rulers, loyal legis-
latures, loyal governors, and by all
the machinery of loyalty. Gentlemen
give it up. Let the people of those
States, the majority of those States,
resume the rule which belongs to the
majority in a republican government.
Let them have once more good Demo
cratic governments in those States,
and you will have once more law, or
der, liberty, peace and prosperity. z.ii
(. TOO FAsT-A RADICAL WARNING.
I We would respectively suggest to
the leaders of the Republican party
that they are crowding the "colored
person" little too fast for their own
good and for his good. Negro suf-
frage is a bitter pill for at least one
half of the men who have hitherto
voted the Republican ticket. Hence
time should have been given them be-
fore another and worse dose was
exhibited. This crowding of the ne
groes into Office while there are white
men quite deserving and as well quail
led won't win in the long run. It
will break the Radical party down.
twill reduce the negro to a worse
condition than ne occupied in state
of slavery, if that were possible. II
will sooner or later lead to his exter-
mination. 'afz!: fes.f'Ak-
Politicians and fanatical idiots who
can not read the signs of the times
may elevate the negro to the United
States Senate and to the platform OF
conventions; but they can't find en-
dorsement at the polls for such dis
gusting conduct, and they viii find il
out when too late. 1t is probable that
both parties will strive for the negro
vote. We predict that the foolish
policy of elevating negroes to office
and of catering to them for their
votes, will result in the formation OF
what will he termed "The White
MANS Party" which will be strong
enough to carry the next Presidential
election, if wisdom III the selection of
candidates is observed, and there is
not too much rebel Democracy mixed
up with it. Such a movement is i'm
minent, and if made will break up the
Republican party, which would be q
deplorable event for the country
Let us secure the negro in his right to
the ballot, but for the salvation of our
country-for the good of the negro
let US dissuade him from seeking. or
accepting office.-Seymonr (Ind.)
