true. The Journal of that place
says. .The election in this place
passed off more quietly than any
election ever held in this place for
several years"
- The Journal further states
that "some fifteen or twenty color
ed men voted last Monday. Strange
none of them had to vote over the
dead body of some white man."
The same paper says: "a
Democratic delegation of one was
sent in here from German town
ship last Saturday, to investigate

Constitution of the United States,
was the proclamation of President
Grant. All CANNON, gentlemen.
- From every town in this State
that we have heard Of, except the
intensely Democratic little city of
Circleville, the colored people came
up to the polls and voted without
doing anybody any harm, or de-
priying single white man of his
inalienable riUhts.
