Nor can there be much doubt that it would have been indorsed by the few thousand more votes needed to defeat Mr. Hewitt, the actual Mayor of New York, and to put Mr.
The threats used to keep the negroes away from the polls are typified in the following, which was published in Mississippi: "The Terry Terribles will be here Monday to see there is a fair election."
