keep the white folks down Now, all ever
wanted was to get OH level with the white
man; | never wanted to get above him -
They say that niggcr is better than white
man in Cincinnati Well, that may be true
in Cincinnati, but it aint true down here 1t
is my interest to stand by the Southern man,
and its my wish too. Whatever law is made
to affect the white mans plantation also affects
my little cotton patch in tho same way They
want to disfranchse the white man, and make
niggcrs put them into Office that they may
have taxes and things their own way They
never would have passed law allowing Mig
gers to vote if they hadn't thought the mig
gers would vote the Republican ticket
Never! Who believes otherwise? Not this
niggcr, certain. i he Yankees brought the
Niger here from Africa for selfish purposes,
set him free for selfish purposes, and now
they want to vote him for selfish purposes"
