of the Republican party to BE SUCCESS
Full, and if success were attainable
through the aid of good men on the new
ticket, the Republicans should make use
OF that means to succeed. Mex. day il
took the back track with a vengeance,
and now takes its loyal "pap' like a little
man. The Gazette, strict, blue -nOsed,
straight laced, dignifed Republican
took up the new party with IFS editorial
tongs, turned it over, smelled it and then
chucked it away with holy horror the
Commercial, the leading paper of the
west, (and one of the few real news.
papers of the United States) in Liber-
alism, cackled over Ahe youthful party
in high glee, regarding it as the one
thug altogether lovely; the Enquirer,
the Democratic copper lined CHATS me)
organ, treats it as small game-which,
may be, is mistake-and goes for the
Republican candidate for Goveuor, in
rather lively style. The German pa
pers are equally divided.
THE AFRICAN IN THE LUMBER YARD.
Not to be outdonc in busting things
in general, by the white trash, the col
ored aristocracy of Ohio, met in solemn
and dark concave at Chillicothe, Ohio,
lately. and resolved with whereas, that
they regretted the Republican party
considered its favors done the African
in the nature of fee simple interest in
their votes. Col. Bob Harlan, good
looking, smart chap Of Cincinnati, Che
is son of Ex. Gov. Harlan (of Ken
tucky) and slave woman,) with Fed
eral appointment, in the Post Office, to
the tune of $4,000 year, tried to get
in a RESOLUTION ENDORSING GRANT,
but the convention, under the lead of
Peter H. Clark, wouldn't resolushe
worth cent on Harlan's motion, and
the meeting broke up in row. The
truth of this matter is that Peter II.
| Clark is mad because Bob Harlan got
the Office he wanted for himself. That
the negro vote may be counted for the
Republican party, in Ohio at least, l
think is beyond doubt, and, to me, 1t
seems as though it would be exceedingly
ungrateful in them to desert the
REPUBLICAN FOR THE DEMOCRATIC
party, all the latter organization ever
did for our colored lambe of the flock,
could be readily packed away in fea's
eye. Personally, and seeking to max
no one responsible for my assertion,
never was in favor of granting them the
right Of suffrage. A number of
GERMAN AND IRISH
met in seperate conventions last week
and vigorously resolved that they had
been doing the work of the great parties
long enough; aud, unless their claims
were admitted, they would hereafter Gas
the Irishmen resolved) vote with what
ever party most fully recognized :heil
claims for office; and the Germans did
substantially the same. They are every
one Of them
SORE-HEADS
who have been the 'Tite Barnaeles,
feeding off the great parties, and art
mad because somebody else has got {
grab. The respectable
IRISH AND GERMAN
element is already denouncing the move
me1t. Many, whose names were used
have published cards denouncing the
whole thing. 1t is species OF Know
nothingism which the people will very
properly denounce, The German and
Irish are too sensible to be led by tht
demagogues of their nations. From
what have written, you will see thu
coming
FIGHT IL OHIO
will be an exceedingly lively one.
