But would it not be well for
them to place some Fifteenth
Amendment in nomination for
Governor. The ''newly en-
franchised'' of this State are de-
termined to have a share OF
the Offices, and have already
resolved to force the Radicals
to accede to their demands.-
The Radicals have made vo-
ters of them, and they might
as well stand back and give
the Africans room first as last.

Taylor voted for Wilson last

want to see him and all other

Deal out plenty of Wilson's
"protection" to the darkeys and
the National Banks, and allow
the "white trash" to go naked
and starve and all is well.
