pose of securing such Constitutional
guarantees as would forever pU: II beroHd
the power of the Southern people 20
again eniaa5er the safety of the Govern
ment or the power of free Republican
| institutions" These statements will
sound strangely 10 the Old members Of
! the Manhood Suffrage League" OF 1868
"a Society organized and held together
for the purpose OF preparing the Repub-
lican party of Ormsby County for the
then coming Fifteenth Constitutional
Amendment. 1t is matter of history
that Mr. Clarke worked and talked and
exerted his whole influence asains: that
Amendment. both before and after the
election, and even after the meeting OF
the Legislature. This was his manner
of securing civil rights to the African
race"-,his, and his persistent efforts to
prevent the colo,ed children OF Nevada
frc,n gaining admission on terms Of
equality into the Public Schools. Thefact
is that Mr. Clarke attempted to commit
tie Republican party of Ormsby County
} TO a recognition of the dangerous heresy
of State RiShts-and it was in sustain
ment of that exploded dogma that he
waged an opposition to the Fifteenth
Amendment He fought the colored
children on a Constitutional bubble.
After Mr.. Clarke left the Republican
partv. The bolted the ticket in 1870, and
went over to the Postum Liberals in
1s7a,) he made his political bed with
Ellis and Ellis fellow Democrats, and
) has been in alliance with the Confed-
, , crates and -Copperheads of Nevada ever
r since. OF course the Republican press
: and party has no right to complain OF
; what Mr.. Clarke or any other person moi
r connected with that party has to say oi
do as a Dolly Warden, Independent
LirzraI. or whatever else he chooses &c
ca!! ..:rpself bat they have a right &c

5 if hs had been true to the Republican

II voice and pen would have been devote'

If of history--That it was his want of sue

t. lican party to suit his own whims
g coupled with his failure to employ 1t
n machinery in furtherance of his on
o personal aspirations that prompted hi
Is desertion of that party and his allianc
10 With its enemies. The fact is: Clark
al has a sort of mania for politics and
h vain and constant longing for the Unite
