fellow citizens look back but few years.
when your neighbor engaged IN the field

his town or city, for food and clothing,
and what was the consequence? You all
know from actual observasion that many
poor children suffered for food, the mother
and wife seduced and made prostitute,
and even when the word came that her
husband had fallen in battle and the day
of funeral service came, the very man that
made those promises, after running the

stateman, is amply able to turn the
wheel Of fortune in favor of our country's
happiness and welfare.


Fello,c CItizens-There has been

man that It's high time the administration
should be changed for the better. Now in
conclusion gentlemen, tour daily prayers

With these broken remarks shall leave
you all to act as you think lest, trusting
in God your votes will reclaim our coun-

choice of a free white Democratic ticket.
