obtain their vote- in Hie Klcelorul Col

Here is u ren-on. and lust such a reason
n-tho bold Iladlc.il would give. It is
in keeping witli his own revolutionary
history.
The letter of (ionoral Pope, when in
coininniid of one of the districts, re
cently published, draws aside tlio veil
and dl-clo-es the fact that the same party

This argument, for party ascendancy,
all can understand. It is bold, clear and
logical, Ills the argument of necessity
adtlres-liig It-elf to un-criipulous ambi

of it; "Wo must," says Hie llndical,
"elect tho next President. The negroes,
under tho lead of our bureau or the con

candidate. The white, outraged by
our attempt to put thu negro over them,
will vole against him. Therefore tho
