| after attending Republican nominating
convention, was murdered in Columbia by
being shot. He was sitting in the door of
his house. A quiet and industrious man.

CoNNEcT1cUT.-The New Haven Comm
Lecer represents the Democratic party of
| Connecticut. 1t is edited by one Wright,
Private Secretary of Governor English.
This is its recent language on "the colored
vote"
| "Any niger who votes the Democratic
ticket we repeat, is a foolish Niger, but he
isn't half the fool that any white man would
be who should ask or try to pursuade or
drive niger to vote the Democratic ticket.
The niggers had better stick to the party
that has given them freedom to loaf, lie,
steal, freeze in winter, and starye to death all
the year round. And, besides, we prefer
party victories without any of this sort of
| help at the polls. When the Democratic
ceases to be exclusively the white mans
party, it will lose its great distinctive TEA
| ture, and become only a miserable tender to
the Black Republican train"
Considering that that man is Dem ocrat

talks considerable sense.
