they must not place too much reliance
upon the threats of this man Scott and his
little gang-they must not rest upon their
oars in the hope of Democratic success
through Republican dissentions engineered
by this little mob of sore-heads. We assure
them, and to the credit of the Republican
party be it said, that, outside of precinct
or two which include the slums of this city,
the sore heads aforesaid have not even the
respect, much less the support, of their own
race. Bill SCOTS assumed proprietorship
of all the colored voters of the district, is in
keeping with his demand to have an i'm

disposal mark the words, "placed at his
DISPOSAL; and to be made a delegate to
the Chicago convention. Only blatant
political crank, driven to desperation by
a realization of his own infnitisimal pro.

would make such unreasonable demands
would make such an autocratic ass of him
self. We assure our Democratic contem-
poraries and colaborers, that, after the Car
bondale convention shall have met, this
political pigmy and his little band of con-
victs and should-be convicts will swallow
all their sickly vomtings and will devour
