district Democrats will conduct their
congressiona! campaign on the sole issue
Of the negro. It says: THE Issue Is to
be the negro. Not The initiative and
referendum; not the diabolic crime OF
1873; not the curse OF gold; not the Sla-
mese Twin monstrosity OF wheat and
silver; not the abhorrent trusts; not
anything but Just the negro. The oc-

properly credited with being one OF the
ablest men IN point OF intelligence and

had few men, on either side Of the
house, who was his superior, either in
debate or capacity to think and act.
