Even this ticket will fail to quiet the

and apparent trickery. bribery and
gagging. The better clement of the

Tins ended the County Republican
Convention, and thus ended, without
exaggeration, one of sthe most sicken-
ing. cnntemptible scenes ever wit
messed here. And all this noise and
rowing, all this curaing and vile abuse
failed to tnrn the st mach of such
white men as 4. f. Taylor, Seymour
Wagstaff.- w. E. Cowan and others
who were born and reared in better
company and for nobler purposes, bnt
now who hang around with hungry
look aud anguIshed heart, hugging and
elbowing negroes for position in
their corrupt ranks. Gentlemen, las
your sense Of pride depatted with your
sense OF decency and shame ? If not.
wash your hands of this filth snd COR
rnptlon and assert your claims to re-
spectability. Radicalism is only skin
deep with you as yet;ere it reaches the
bone, reform and save yourself, your
prond ancestry aud yonr promising
posterity from inevitable and lasting
blush and disgrace. Though you be
poor. never forget the teachings of re-
tnement and integrity you have so
proudly inherited. and never forget
that the AnglO-Saxon blood courses
your veins, and for some noble
purpose.
Walter Cherry, q radical magistrate
of this township and young man of
promise. has been affiliating with the
negroes on every occasion, but to-day
became disgusted with their disgrace
full proceedings and joined the Tilden
and Vance Club of Ellington. He did
right, and was welcomed back to his
first love and no questions asked.
