Note 72 — V. SOCIAL HARMONIES AND DISCORDS

See the article in Banner und Volksfreund, July 28, 1855, entitled “The So-Called Republicans:” “We encounter in the Watertown Anzeiger the following appropriate article concerning the so-called Republican (vulgarly Shanghai) party, by which so many Germans were duped at the last election and which expects to repeat the same swindling tactics in the approaching election.” (Translation). The election of Coles Bashford as governor was due in part to German votes.
