Radical Trickery.

The Radical organs in this State are
continually bowling and harping that the
Democratic party is opposed to popular
education, and that the new school law
has greatly retarded the usefulness Of the
public schools, This the people Of the
State know to DO falschood, We have
just passed through school year, and all
but dcmagogues who want hobby to ride
into Office, admit that our free schools are
now upon q safer and Grmer foundation
than they ever were under Radical rule
They do not tell you that the creates
stride ever made toward tho complete de-
struc,ion Of free schools, was made by The
Republican party in the passage by tht
United States Senate Of the Civil Right,
Bill, and which was supported by one hun
dred and Thirty odd Republicans in thC
lower House of Congress. It was intend
ed by this bill to force negroes into The
white schools Of this State, and of all TIT
States 10 this Union, Are you ready t,
vote with such o party.

Can't Trust Them.

The Republican party has become so
corrupt and dishonest that the best men in
the party have turned away from it in dis.

1876:
