L. A.” and its offkhoot, the “G.A.R” They are very great blockheads, how- ever, to suppose that they can succeed in retaining a monopoly of the secret political society business. Organiza- tions like the shoddy league, which is based upon political, social and busi- ness proscription of political opponents, must, sooner or later, beget counter or- ganizations of equal virulence in feel- ing and action. So far asis known, the Klan is no such an organization, but, denounced, misrepresented and as- | self-defence, it may be driven into the adoption of retaliatory measures, oN Cpa UE, ES HALL dia x abu dict nh—_.,y Tie Pr a i i Le JUSTICE AND OUR COUN Y. 1868. ihe land who believe that John Wilkes Booth was hired hy now pronmunent { Radicals to slay Abraham Lincoln, him up to destruction by their minions | The closeness with which the other intercourse : the unfairness of maturing to complete the work which the assassin left unfinished i. e. to fill the measure of proof against | them.
