COMMENTING on the condition of the

These men, however, choose to give
their allegiance to the Republican party,
knowing that all they have and are they
owe to It, consequently they are dis.
frauchised and deprived of the right Of

1t is well-known that the negroes live
in poverty. filth and squalor, hence If
they are deprived Of the right of suf-

full for They surely do not owe much
gratitude and allegiance to the Repubh

chisement All the property they have
has been acquired in cultivsting Demo

Editor EVENING JOURNAL.
notice that my last little projectile
fred at friend Solomon in reply to his
assertion In Republican Glasses" of last
week that Sheriff Allen receives 80 cents
per meal for boarding prisoners, seems to
have hit the mark and penetrated his
rhinocerous hide to the extent of bring
ing him to bay, as in his Republican
Glasses of yesterday he attempts an
apology, and claims that his gross and
groundless misrepresentation was entirely
Slip that he meant 30 cents per day
Now, sir, will be generous and attribute
his mistake to ignorance of the subject
but do not intend to let him ''slip" after
attempting to cover up one misrepresen-
tation with another.
He made the statement that Sheriff
Allen receives 30 cents per meal for
boarding prisoners for meals that do not
cost cents. Now, how does he harmo.
nize this statement with his correction7
Did he mean 80 cents per day2 III SO,
what becomes Of that part Of the asser-
tion which states that il does not cost
cents2 He certainly did not mean to say
that it does not cost cents per day to
feed the prisoners. Now, Solomon, II
you had omitted that part Of the allega-
| tion, then your explanation in yester-
dav's Republican Glasses" might have
been accepted; but taking the whole
charge as you made 1t, that Sheriff Allen
receives 80 cents per meal, that do not
cost 3 cents, clearly proves that you
meant Just what you said, and that there
was no slip about it, This leaves you
between two horns Of the dilemma
Either you were ignorant Of the subject
or you wilfully and maliciously lied
Your explanation In yesterdays "Repub-
lican Glasses" only proves your readi-
ness to cover one false statement with
another; but as you have admitted that

NORMALLY, the first lady Of the land

lady, who won the hearts and the uni

COMMENTING on the msndamus case in

The condition annexed TO the founding

by the honest preponderance Of political
opinion, but we did not consent that a

be balanced by a vote Of intimidation and
