Evening Star Editorials, circa 1868
This newspaper clipping contains three editorials, none with signatures. The first affirms Mr. Harlan’s claims that Andrew Johnson supports "negro" (sic) suffrage, praises Johnson for his sympathy and honesty, and reminds readers that Andrew Jackson also supports this cause. The second announces that the Evening Star advocated ratifying the Constitutional Amendment because of financial gain, before calling on citizens to reject it as the forerunner of black suffrage. The third conveys hearty approval on the appointment of Col. William G. Moore as paymaster in the regular army, gives his credentials, and personally congratulates him.
