RADICAI.ISM, CIVIL RI HTS
AND SOCIAL EQUALITY.
THEY ALL MEAN THE
SAME THING.

No sane man can doubt what negroes
mean when they demand "civil rights. y
They mean literally and without any
qualification, to demand the right to
go wherever the white man can go -on
the cars, on the steam boats, in the
hotels, in the churches, in the schools
and in the theatres. In word, they
claim to be our brothers inferior only
in opportunities, but our equals in all
other respects, mental, moral and So
cial. There can be no doubt of this,
nor can there be any doubt composing
as they do about nine-tenths OF their
party, that their demand in this respect
will ever be complied with. The will of
the negro in the Radical party is su-
preme, and the handful of white men
in it know the fact. The white Radicals
dare not offend their negro allies. No
matter what the negroes demand, their
brethren must yield. If anyone has
any doubts on these points let him read
the following:

Here they, the Radicals, have Con-
gressional candidate, who has the mis-
fortune to be peculiarly bespattered
with civil rights, mud and filth. He
was nominated two years ago (and
beaten) in convention, the Temporal
ry chairman of which, a white man,
was married to negro woman, by
negro parson. This year he was nomin-
ated (and will be defeated) in a con-
vention, some of the delegates of
which favored mixed schools, and
others-Canaday, Mayor of Whining
ton, Sanders, editor of the Post, Nab
son Price, etc, practlced social equal
ity by eating and drinking together at
the same time and at the same table
on the Steamer North State. They
bring out the candidate wearing the
mo parlor, no kitchen collar (for
half dozen men are willing at any time
to certify to the mo parlor, no kitch-
en-" charge), and put him on the track
to win-what? Convention votes

white man Thornton and negro wo-

[Judge ID. l.. Russell, 1s7i.I
The pretension that any person or

~. S. Senator Boutwell, 1S74.I
And therefore, 1 say, if it were pos
ible, as in the large cities it is possi-
lie to establish separate schools for
lack children and for white children,
t is the highest degree inexpedient to
ither establish or tolerate such |
chools.
The theory Of human equality can

lasses and conditions are brought to- {
ether, this doctrine of human equali- t

leans of secu. ing the prrpetuity of re- '
ubllcan institutions. And inasmuch n
J we have in this country four million t
