Steadfast Republicans.

Editor The Sun.
Sir-To the Republican voters Of the
Sixth ward: Stand Hteadfast in the
faith and by the principles of the Re.
publican party on June l, and elect
Thomas +. Postles to represent you in
the City Council. No man who thor
uugbly believes in the principles of the
Republican party will not do other than
vote for Mr.. Post'es without the slightest
hesitancy.
The question Of the hour is not as to
tile color of the mans skin, but the
question which is of far greater import
ance is Is he capable and is his Repub-
| licanism of that character not to be ques-
toned? The gentleman is bnth. These
and these only are the great essentials to
be considered.
| Republicans OF the Sixth ward beg OF
you TO keep in mind the historical fact,
that t he creation OF the Republican party
was due to the existing condition at that
period. namely: that there was a race oil
people within the confines Of this great
republic enslaved, doWntrodden, and
oppressed; the sunshine OF liberty and
human rights denied them; accorded an
/ existence on the pla. OF the lower ami.
NAL. This and this only was accorded
them. A burning shame and foul blot
on the name OF this fair republic, and
amidst this col dition, hearing the wall
and cry coming from the oppressed and
lamenting their inhuman condition, tie
great party of human liberty was ush.
cred into existence inspired by the love
of universal liberty and having bnt one
single purpose in view; and that the up.
lifting of man to the pinnacle where he
rightly belonged.
Nobly has it performed the duties
thus taken up in behalf OF mankind, ant
now are we, who are members OF thi
great party going to demonstrate at thi
late day that We are not imbued witt
the came spirit thai characterized thu
fail ers OF the party, by refusing to vot,
for man who is Of the race which on
party has battled so bravely for to ele
vatr. | am proud to say that believe
the Republicans OF the Sixth ward ar
fully zliye to their required duty on thi
occasion, and on June ! will show to tin
people Of this community that the spirit
which animated Lincoln, Grant, Wade
Mnrton, and host of others, ia thei
epirit, and it being thus they will go t,
tie polls and cast their votes for Thoma
Il Postles.
