so overwhelmingly Republican that we scarcely
dared to count the Democratic VOTE In behalf of
that State here pledge myself if work, If zeal, II
energy can do anything, that the people Of South
Carolina will give as large q Democratic majority
as any other State in the Union" That means
that the nggers" will have a hot time Of it IL

Republican" State because it is swollen by tissue
ballots and rifle club buldozing into majority,

General Hancock fought bravcly to save the
Union and to give theaslavcs the rights of free

elected depends solely upon the suppression Of
these freedmen's rights in every Southern State
