~" This talk about sp'i,tiry the Demo

negro votes, and nssassinating him, is all
Political clap-trap. and is altogether
too freely used in this canuaign. We claim
he right. to oppose the n nomination of Capt.
TIllman, an shall exercise that right, ms n
true democrat, md we honesty accord to
Capt. Ti',man's friends the right to use

democratic raaks must. and we believe will
b., c'oscd up. The fact is, we cannot afford
