psssdence of the opponents OF the
Democratic party for success in all the

divert the attention Of the people from

The NEGROES have been cheatea, defraud-

more than in any State in the South.
The, Republican newspapers never re-

fheir own party. They do not mention
the fAct that in order to get rid Of his
vote at the polls in Washington, they de-

the negro vote constitutes about one
half of the votes Of the Republican
party, W hen the negro asked to be put

denied any Of the privileges which they

Everything which has happened since
