Tell the Truth

Tell the Truth
The New York Freeman.
The Republican party has elimlna-
ted the black man from its politics.
This is as plain as nose on face.
The blind alone refuse to see it. 1t
has left the black man to fight out
his own battles, We have shown
this to be the case time and again
before the November election and
since. We know whereof we speak,
and though it causes us the loss of
many readers and causes us to be re-
garded as sort of traitor in orthodox
Republican circles, we are compelled,
in our capacity as an humble sentinel
on the outer wall, to speak the truth.
