Liltlefeld. Swepson and Abott. each.
are to blame. one % ,much Ms the other.
for the condition Of aifairsi in your State.
They corrupted the Legislature. using
such willing tools ~ J. II. Harris to get
the negro members 10 vote for all Of their
Railroad schemes. Harris was by them

4 Ohio Railroad Company appropriation
10 fact. not one Of these Radical chaps tia
are nov bounding me, did lick of work
but they got their pay, aud your State hat
20 pay them. The stealing extended iron
ono end u the State to the o.her. and wa
confined entirely to the Republican party
More than one man now in ease and plcnt,
in your State stole what he is daily eatinj
and IL the Republican party il 70 DO con
t:nued 10 power. you will get just fou
years more VI IL.
These men may howl at me rs much a
they want. In supporting Tilden nm
Hendricks know am assisting 70 got ri,
Of q lot Of teaches aud thieves. ! am som
to blame for having put them on you.
The negroes. if lee alono BY these leaebe
would soon make good and inoifensiv
citizens. but they. BY their fears being con
stantly worked on. are kept in dread q
the Democracy. Bc kind and patient wit
them. and they will sec who are thci
friends and como % their old masters fu
advice instead Of Tim Ice and Cebo
Let me say in conclusion. tha. the aboy
Is only sample Of men who now want |
control the destiny Of State.
They are Ct followers Of such thieyinI
government as Grant has given Us for Ill
past four years. which. il the Republica
party is successful. wc will have for I'll
next four year. Then il Is Tor tho fre,
man Of your State 10 rally aronud the poll
at the Noyembca election, and by you
|, votes get rid Of these thieves for thieyt
they are; sud get honest men in the
places. They arc disgrace 10 The peOpl
Of your State. and | am glad Iparie
|. company with them. and got ouco more
! honest company.
