burned last evening at about
,'clock. There never was a more
harmonious convention held in this
The platform adopted leaves :
county free to organize so as
0 snit the voters, 10 insure unity of |
ction so necessary to success. The |
1biie liners and those opposed % !
olor line can now GO to work in real c
each his own way, and still
e in accord with the platform and to Q
Genre the great object in view--the Z
verthrow of the most corrupt gov |
rnment that the world ever saw. We y
ave cheering news from every por- !
on Of the state, the people are
loving in this great and holy cause '
t the resurrection Of their rights, to .
lat degree hal admits of no :
oubt Of their ultimate success. We :,
innot afford to lose the coming bat =

'ghly canvass the district. l do not !"
lieve that there is a county in this !
ate but what has a heavy tincture OF =
hite supremacy doctrine in its COM r
In many instances it has :
ready freely cropped out. and in IT
hers quietly but SURELY oozing
