1t is said to be one of the sb,
moves IN the present campai,n. "u
templated by The Republicans ans VOa'
allies, the Anti-Amendment Assooia. aef
OF Baltimore City, to make Mr. Co.." 'iOn
the supreme issue, and to take -, uiSa

the orlginators of it will surely Ey. au

Ii is not altogether inconceir..,
to think of sensible men stoonina '.e

all that could be said against him r.
won a commendable victory over hi,
traducers and was the unanimou. cboio.
of his party for the United State, San
ate. 1t shows the paucity of their ms.
terial in hand for the fight when tbon
have 20 return to their past tactics
They are afraid to argue the true point,
Of the question at stake-rather ,h.v
confuse and abuse
They do not talk much about tboi,
own relations with the negro. how tbev
used him for their own selfish purposes
without giving him share of tbai,
graft, which his united vote make,
possible for them, except perhaps few
paltry dollars at election time or when
the negro is needed to carry primaries
in some disputed section.
This is plain, undisputed condition
which has existed for years in the Re.
publican party, and yet you do not &c.
any OF their papers speaking Oft o.
their orators telling it to the PEOPLE
Instead they talk about the wicked
Democrats and tell volumns of tfeir
evil practices, their tricks and their
fraudulent Preparations.

different story to tell.
The people csnnot be fooled all Of the
time by the continual harping Of the
vitality interested and ofice-holdng
Republicans, who fear more than any.
thing else the loss Of the support Of
their negro vassals and the conss quent
loss to them Of the fat places they have
held by the votes Of this non-laxpay
ing, viscious and mostly ignorant race
That 10 the meat in the cocoanut and
not the interest Of Mr.. German or any
OF the leaders Of the Democratic party.
The Republicans are afraid OF the di.
rect question and seek to subordinatei it
to that Of worn out issues. 1t can't be
done this time, aud they will find it
out.
