.,srro,s ruie me Radical Party.


The Radical majority In this city
will not come up TO the number OF
negro votes cast for the candidates ol
/ that party. Without their negro al
1 lies, lhc whole Radical ticket would
have been defeated. Not man
would have been chosen This Is
rendered certain by the figures. -
White men are disgustcd with Radi'
cal rule in the nation aud city. They
feel the i'll effects Of Radical domina.
ton. They know the debt has been
augmented, aud taxation increased -
They petiIioned for repeal Of the in
come tax, and their petitions were
unhccded. They have TO bear the
burdens of Radical misrulc, aud foot
the bills made by scalawag politicians.
These are the reasons which separated
so many white men from the l;ad cal
party on election day. They wanted
change in the men who act as rep
resentntiyes for the masses. They
felt the necessity for such change. r.
But their efforts and votes were neu-
tralized by ignorant negroes, who fill
ed up the gap made by their depar-
ture Negroes, who pay no taxes,
but those necessary TO vote, who have
no interest in the city or State, who
own no properly, who have no busi.
ness relations TO steady their action al
the polls, stepped into the places OF
merchants, manufacturers, mechanics
aud workingmen, ana elected men TO
office, whom white voters repudia.
ted II was. aud is virtually a negro
triumph. White men were defeated.
The interests ofwhito men were tramp
led in the dust beneath the feet Of IL
norant negroes, who to day cannot tell
for whom they voted, or what inter
ests were at stake. They were used
as the tools Of the gang Of bad men,
who rule the city and rob the people.
The actions of the "Ring' had pro
duced salutary effect upon intelli
gent men. Facts had taken a lodg.
ment in the public mind, and if white
men only had been called upon to
render verdict, in would have been
far different from that recorded by
the returns II is important that
business men should look at the ex.
hibition OF negro voting in our city
from practical point. That point
was reached on Tuesday last, when
their interests fell beneath the blows
Of ignorant negroes, aud will remain
there until revolution, moro general
than that indicated by tho action OF
| Tuesday, can be effected. In the
future, the Radical party will be run
in the interest Of the negroes. They
must elect that ticket, and. as a mat.
ter Of course, they will be foremost in
all movements OF a political character.
To this complexion has the Radical
party came at last. IL is no longer
an organization of white men, anxious
10 further and protract the interests
Of that class Of citizens. 1t is u com.
bination Of corrupt white politicians
and ignorant negroes. Tho former
will do The scheming and fixing, the
latter the voting. And by such a
combination, Philadelphia will be
ruled unless still more radical change
comes over the minds of certain class
Of white men. The Democratic party
viii labor to effect that change in the
future as they have in the past 1t
must come. White men will not suffer
the interests Of this city to be ruined
by negroes.-Ale.

TnE STATE.-As there was no State
officers voted for at the late election,
il will be some time before We will be
able to lay the Democratic majority
before our readers, as can only be OBJ.
taincd by summing up the vote in the
twenty.iour Congressional Districts.
Bat We have returns enough to show
that the State has gone largely Dem.
ocratic; and the reason we have not
carried the Legislature, arises from
the fact that the Radicals have so
formed the districts that it is impos-
sible for the Democrats to carry that
body without complete revolution.
Another election viii turn Radicals
and niggers upside down, and Of
course give us the Legislature. Good
bye Cameron.

INFAMoUs.-The following special
telegram appeared in the EreaiEg TEL.
egrdph:
WASHINGTON, October II - The
President received a dispatch from
Senator Morton to-day, stating that
the State of Indiana was carried, yes.
tcrday, by the Republicans by small
majority. The State is so dislricted
that the Democrats might carry it by
from five to ten thousand majority,
and still the Legislature would be Re-
publican.
Here is an acknowledgment, IN
blushingly made, that Indiana las
been so outrugeously gcrrymandered
by the Radicals, that a Democratic
majority will not give that party con.
troll Of the Legislature. 1t was sep
posed that in this country the people
and not politicians, govern.

The TEsT OATH ABoLIsHED.-In
the City of Washington, on Saturday
the Supreme Court of the District OF
Columbia, decided to abolish the rule
requiring the odious test oath Of ap.
plicants for membership of the bar.
The Supreme Court Of the United
States decided the oath unconstitu-
tional some time ago, but up to Sat
urday, the Supreme Court Of the Dis.
trict of Columbia, had steadily refused
TO accept the ruling, insisting that it
had a perfect right to dictate the
terms of admission to practice at the
bar. Thus we see one prop after an
other knocked from under the odious
fabrick erected by Radicalism.

NOT give any place protection or shelter IN oui

Sensible darkies We wish tho
Democrats of that district would slow

would help separate the sheep rom
the goats, or the black from the white,
