We hope the colored men of Law renee will be able to make these sneaking Republicans understand that we ha\e gome rights that they must respect. Mr Langston Is an educated gentleman, and one of the most worthy men in the conn ty, and this underhand manner of defeating him for a village postoffice, show s conclusively how any of us would be treated if wo should aspiie to an office that a white Republican wanted. Wo have since learned that Mr. Langston was defeated,, and we would not be surprised if the col learn j orod Republicans of Law rence would turn t vet the county over to tho Democrats at the idiug next election. Certainly they could not be vault j blamed If they did._______LargeVIiorth d for BignsPhi today that sailei ware for ci more oarg.
