thus If you believe the Demo
cratic papers, nearly all the nc.
groes voted on Monday for the
Democratic Candidates. AS these
candidates generally came to grief
it is fair to suppose the white men
voted the other way, and that De
mocracy is no longer the "white
mans party.
There is slight difference of
opinion existing between the Cleye-
land Herald and our neighbor Of
the Register, who says;
GAS n general thing, at the late
Spring elections, where a negro
offered to vote an 0, en- Democrat
ic ticket, and handed the same to a
Radical judge Of the election, it was
refused, and Mr.. Negro not per
mitted to vote"
AS general Thing we think the
negroes did not offer to vote a
Democratic ticket at all they are
black Republicans, loyal men and
voted the Republican ticket, and Of
this, our neighbor who has almost
exhausted himself bowling for
"whtte rotefS or aone,' has no
right to complain, Any negro
who would offer to vote IN open
Democratic ticket, ought to be
ashamed of himself
