Tho Inflacnco of the carpet-bagger with tne negro depended upon the Influenco of the carpels bagger at tho White House. That gone pur se, the negroes very naturally turn to the natlve whitemen of thelr party for leaders, Tho opposle tlon of the carpet-boggers, therefore, to the Administration’s policy is tha opposition of disappolnted men withont Influence.
