Rensselaer Republican, Volume 16, Number 16, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 December 1883 — When the Bloody Shirt Will Be Buried. [ARTICLE]

When the Bloody Shirt Will Be Buried.

So long as inoffensive men are shot down at the polls for the sin of proposing to vote the Republican ticket, just so long will the bloody shirt be a factor in politics. When the Democracy of the South cease to carry elections by fraud and murder, then will the shirt be buried, and not till then.— Clay County (bid.) Enterprise.
