sisted in the llcllish work. Was he a Re- 4
publican thenf Is he n Republican now 3
No, Mr.. Monaghan. For every Republi-5 5
can you can point out as assisting in this &
infamous organization, can point out one
hundred Democrats. But why should this {.
be continued? Why do Democratic stump i:
speakers OF your calibre inyarinble take:
up this question and excite the prejudices :.
Of the people OF our race when the burden
