The negro is a free citizen. I was

the negroes. I honor the race and re-
joice in their prosperity. I want to
see them educated and taking their
stand alongside of their white breth-
ren. I'LL never called the negro saw
ages. I said there were white savages
and there were black savages. If
/ am elected Governor I promise you
(the audience composed almost solely
of negroes) that the nags who put
me there shall have all the oats and
fodder there to give. Extract from
speech of Daniel Z. Russell, IN Metro

II entertain a sentiment of deep
gratitude to the negro: I believe in
preserving property rights. 1t IS well
known that do not believe in putting
property under control of the men who
do not hold property. I stand Tor the
rights and liberties and opportuni-
ties of the negroes. ..a.I have been

Fourth. While / should say much

while as a rule the South does not
treat its colored people with the lib
crafty and justice which they re-
ceiye in the North, there is yet defence
for the deep and dire determination
of the Southern white man to never
submit to negro rule. THE NEGROES
