"Boss, is Cleveland elected, shore W asked
colored man in one of the stores in Bel Air,
Wednesday.
"He is, indeed" was the reply.
"Den de cullud people KANT vote no mo-
kin deyg" the poor fellow mournfully inquired
He was assured that the Democratic party did
not mean to take away any rights the colored
man has under the law. The incident shows
the kind of arguments our Republican friends
used with the colored voters.
