cDEPRAvITY or PARTY LEADERS
Party leaders see and know all this
IL ia useless To disguise IL. They have
deliberately organized parties In th'
South as they are, and for the end'
which honest people everywnere mus
contemplate with horror and disnlay
These flaunters OF the bloody siiir'
will rule or ruin
NEW ANIMAL.
The conflict which parry leaders
would make inevitable, In order that
they may retain power, Is much more
easily precipitated now than at any
former period. a new generation OF
ueeroes. reared from childhood
under the exclusive moral and politi
cal teachings of the enemies of South
ern whites, com to tho polls next
wear. The greater number of the only
white men IL the South 10 whom the
negroes were attached have gone To-
their graves. The race OF cold masters
il almost extinct; their children and
those of former servants have wan
dered away from one another, and
party leaders have driven down
wedges and upbuilt walls of iron and
stone between the races.
ISN'T IT INCREDIBLE?
In the face of these confessed facts
they deliberately lift up the banner
Of transportation and flaunt 1t, as do
matadors the red flag in the face of the
infuriatcd bull, and tho hatred of
blacks for those among whom they
must live or die and by whom they
must be governed 10 citizens, ~ made
more and more inextinguishable and
inordinate.
