The Republicans of Con i iec mu i l late
lost the election,' but they can afford to
lose it. They Planted the l insetves upon
the just .groUnd 'of t

trust they will not budge ;an inch from
that platform. Let them' stick to it, and
zealously educate the pi , ople up to it:
Connecticut is notorious as; a negro-hat
ing state. Schools for tlit; education of
negro children have been' brohen up there,
:.•nd a year or tiro ago a negro was mobbed
there, and some Dogberry, whose name
we have - forgotten, advised the 'negro io
leave the state. .I , norant- and

to the South we realize the costliness of
