Praise God from whom all blessings flow, etc. The Black Troops fought nobly. We slew them all but one and he got his tail fethers scorched. The salt river packet is loaded with Democrats this morning and they nro a sad crew. Iuskogee has been redeemed the (ax payers will 1kutcj a square deal, and public im provements will go on. The Democrats are routed from A to IZZARD and beaten from liell to breakfast. This is a Republican City as shown by the returns and it has always been such, but this is the first time wo have gotien togeather. To the Victors beloug the spoils. Wo mean that no Demo crat should apply or be given oflice at the hands of the victor ous Republicans. Put the Demo crats on short grass for the en suing year. The Democrats found that they could not buy the Negro vote to any extent and those few skunks who did sell are not worth a d by a d and half. The Democrats made a mis take when they said that all the ladies of the town were in favor of the Democratic ticket. This insult cast at the wives and daughters of white Republicans put (hem on thoir mettle and they went lo work. TheCimeter is proud of the fact that we helped to mako it possible to elect a Republican ticket and thou we proceeded to elect the ticket. The credit is duo to the black and white Re publicans who stood as a stone wall for Republican success. Uence tho Glorious Victory. ftluskogeo County will get four delegates to tho constitu tional convention. JSTow lot us begin and see that they are Re publicans. But no traitor need apply. The Black Phalanx commenc ed the battlo early and kept it up till the last foe had expired, Big Chief Owen and his co horts can now mtire disect the odoriferous smell of the dead carcass of Democracy. Big Chief is an export on the smell biz and can bo taken as authority as ho smelt the defeat of Democracy. The Democrats in their ig norance in assaulting the Negros made an assault upon the wives and daughters of tho white Re publicans of the town, when they saw their error they began to explain but it was too late. Election Hits. The Democrats fought hard to the last minuet, but the boys in the trendies dug their graves on the . '3rd., covered them u) and a big rain come on tho dth and settled things down. Mayor Fite got down from the high pedestal as Mayor to quar rell and argue with ward work ers, this showed to what ex treme measures old Domociats was pushed. It was not dignified. Hon Frank Jlubbard, con ducted a campaign on the high plane of dignity and respectabil ity. Like a General he acted on election day and allowed his lieutenants to do the work. What a contrast between the Republi can and Democrat leaders, the latter jumped into brawls with every Negro who felt brawlish. Wo believe that there were at least 200 illegal Democratic vots cast and then wo beat them and then too when tho entire police force were working for tho Democrats and intimdating colored voters and draging worthless Negro blacklegs into the side door to vote. Tho Democrats got more than they expected on the stink prop osition. On election day evory Democrat from tho Mayor down tried to get into closo contact with the Negro but tho Negro would flee, saying I am afraid you will contaminate mo by your smell, Tho Democrats stunk on election day. Al 8 O'clock on morn of bat tlo our skirmishers commenced tho firing on tho Democratic Camp and kopt up a warm en gagement until about noon, whon the boys in tho tronches came out and began a grand charge. It was then that tho enemy saw thoir finish and bo gan to retreat. On election day the Negroes said to Big Chief Tom Owen and tho other Democrat "If you sot still I chop you wid me ra zor. If you run I shoot do top of your head off" Tho Demies sot still and when all had been choped dowji but one, that one took to his heels and got away and was tho only one not slaugt ored. Tom Owen's STINK speech made votes for the Republicans, as there were some Negroes who intended to vote for certain Democrats but that STINK speech and tho TIMES-DEMOCRAT COLOR CAMPAIGN drove all of them homo. For tho first time in the his toiyof the town the Republican party was united and victory perched on our banners because we presented a united and solid front to tho enemy. A few Negroes worked for the Democrats, some of them slyly and some otherwise, they have tried to connect loyal men with their d rottenness in order to hide their own dirt but the party leaders know who the traitor aro. The boys in the bloody fourth whiped tho renemy early in the game and sent tho Democrats Negroes away on tho run, Down in the fighting third tho Democrats concentrated all their forces, tho Mayor, the police force and all their henchmen in this ward and with a few trai tors Negroes cut down our majority, but it was sufficient to save the day. agents wanted We want energetic hustling agents for this paper and will pay liberly for -good work.
