sheet here published in the interest of Tammany and paid for by Mr Croker through his regularly dele gated commissioner to the blacks and while getting on a car some days ago fell and sustained serious injuries It cannot be that Ralph whoso father was a pretty decent republican was think ing of his apostacy and fell while the cogibundlty of his cogitations were in the process Its terrible bad luok for a man of Ralph Langstons Intelligence and lineage to be an active supporter and defender of a party against which his father and his uncle hurled elo quent Phillipics becauBe of the cowardly surrender of the principles of justice and its implacable hatred of the Negro Perhaps Ralphs mishap is a warning to him to escape the horrors of the political hell into which he has gotten
