The Negro at the Ballot Box
On the secondXuesday in October
the people of this County 'and State
Will witness the unusual spectacle of
negrocs at the ballot box. "The Demo

responsibility in this desecration of the
ballot, fur it omosed, from first to last,
political equality between the white
man and the negro. All the credit of
this movement, if any, belongs to the
Radical party, and we yield to them
every negro vote in the county. For
the sake of retaining power, they have
forced the American people to accept,
as their political equals, tt million of
negroes, with few except ions, as brutal,

So conscious are the radicals of dimi
nution of party strength in conse
quence of the large desertion of white
voters from their ranks, that they place
all their hope of success at the October
election on the negro vote. Without
that aid, whirl' they obtained through
the fraudulent passage of the fifteenth
amendment, their defeat in this State
would be certain, . .
Whether they can succeed with it
remains to be peen.
It depends upon the white voters of
the State altogether whether the Radi
cals carry a majority of the Congres
sional and Assembly districts, and re
tain their Senatorial strength in the
districts which this year elect, or not,

The Income Tex.
SHERWOOD AGAINST IT 1 ' ARMSTRONG
FOR IT I
In the present contest, out people
should not lose sight of the Income Tax
question, which is really one of the most
important that is presented to them.
This is the most odious of all the taxes
imposed, and until the Radicals came
into power, it was unknown in this
country. At an evil- moment it was es
tablished to last during the war. It
was considered a war tax, and nobody
dreamed of its being continued in a time
of peace. When the war was brought
to a close, it was re-enacted to Decem
ber 81, 1869, and everybody, when that
time arrived, thought it dead. But no,
our masters at Washington were not sat
isfied, they had tasted blood and were
not disposed to give it up while a drop
could be drawn At the last session,
after a hard struggle, this infernal lox
was re-enacted for another period of two
years, and if the Radicals are kept in
power there will be no petting rid of it
This tax was retained in order that ti
tax on monopolies might he abolished,
which was done. Every Democrat in
Congress voted and worked for its repeal,
but the Radicals continued it in spite of
them. The people, everywhere, called
for its abolition, but Congress would
not listen to them. W 11. Armstrong
