The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1867-188?, 1884-12-31

with only purpose to exhibit q relic OF
campaign literature at the South, we pub,
lish entire circular picked off the floor
Of grocery by citizen Of Wellington
who has travelled extensively in North
Carolina. The spirit OF the South can be
very accurately judged by reading Of this
circular which they publish under the
head, "Civil Rights against White Mans
Government"
1t would appear that they are no more
disposed to allow civil rights to the negro
than they were at the close Of the war. and
the same old prejudices are appealed to
and the same misstatements and ialsehoods
published 10 keep the South solid as Of
old. The Democracy may, but no others
will take stock in the story that the blacks
are intimidating and terrorrzing the
whites, since in any encounter the blacks
are always the ones killed though they
out number the whites two to one 1t was
a sad spectacle when the white radicals
and black radicals got to quarrelling, and
the negroes called their white brethren
liars, towards etc. But it is matter Of
small moment when the white Bourbons
provoke quarrel with the negroes and
proceed TO shoot them down like wild
animals. We know this is waving the
bloody shirt and our Democratic friends
object to that, but II will be waved until
every legal voter in all this broad land is
allowed to cast one vote and have il hon.
estly counted.
II the Democracy wish to take the
bloody shirt out of politics, they can &C.
complish that desirable result by instruct
ing their Southern brethren that intimld
alton, false counting and all kinds Of
political dishonesty and treachery toward
members Of the Republican party must
cease and that they must allow the will ol
the, majority to be freely and fairly eI
pressed and honestly obeyed. Until then
We do not propose to allow them to hide
its bloody folds by ridicule or any otheI
dishonest pre,ext The following is The
circular:
THE National Republican Convention a
