Tho Republican Party in this
cnunVv is composed Of at least three.
fourths freedmen to one-four,h
whites. Tho disparity is really
greater than this, but We place it
at that, to show that the freedmen
will be generous if they allow the
whites one-fourth Of the Offices in
the county. Less than this would
be gross InJustice to the colored
people, whose political equality is
acknowledged by their brethren.
The freedmen should look to this
IN the Convention TO be held next
Saturday. Let them demand their
recognized rights. They are enti-
tied to the Sheriff, as they constitute
a large majority Of the party, and
those who would deprive them of
simple justice in the nominations,
are only using them as tools for
their own advancement. Look to
it freedmen and sec that you are
not swindlcd and euchered in the
political game you are playing.
See that your white friends do not
stock the cards on you and win all
that is worth winning.
