publican, or a white. republican is to vote for
Il colored republican. In the latter case the
"nlgger'' always 'gets left"

There were three colOred candidates fol-
councilmen In the late city election. In two

Perhaps sometime in the iar-off future Tho

white republicans always find a cOnvenien
excuse for voting for the other man, Of
scratching both names from his ticket.

colOred man who ever ran for off ce in this
city was hat wheelhorse of republicanism

many colOred votes IN his vest pocket as any
man Ia the city-yet he was slaughtered in

also taking the track in the anne ward there
by dividing the party vote and securing the
election of a democrat. The next was j. II

term Of years He was placed upon the re-
publican ticket for assessor, and so far ~ ed
ucation was concerned was fully competent
60 ill the place. Yet be also was mercilessly
left out in the cold, while all, or nearly all the
good majoritles. Last year the colOred can
dldaie for councilman from the first ward
shared the same fate, and this year three
more-well examine the returns, they tell
the tale.
