ONE OF the grounds upon which the
republicans and their allies, the boiling
so-called democrats, base their opposi-
ton to Mr. Bryan,is the fact that in the
rush and crush at recent banquet
given to him in New York, one or two
negroes got into the banqueting nall.
Why, the republican party made the
negroes the civil and political, and
tried to make them the social equals OF
white people, and a prominent bolter
drank wine with them even in the ex-
ecutive mansion at Richmond. But Ell
frontry, not consistency, is characteristic
of such people,.
