The Republican and Democratic Policies.
1t is the policy of the republican party
where there are few negroes, TO fix the status
OF the negro in those states where there are
great many of them.
In Maine, where negroes are as scarce as
flies al the north pole. the republican state
convention devoted itself to the subject of the
negro question.
They voted that there should be negro
equality.
should be removed
They voted that there should be sgro suf-
frags all over the land.
Place 800 900 negroes in the state of Maine.
and in Two years the same convention would
vote precisely the other way. But without
negroes In their midst, they are quite willing
TO Say precisely what shall be done with the
negroes in those states where the whites and
blacks are about equal IN numbers.
The democratic policy is different. 1t is in
accordance with the constitution of the Unit
ed States and the rights of the states. Fer
instance, the democratic state committee If
Wisconsin have issued "A call for IA state con-
ventiOn, in which ali the electors who are
friendly to the constitution and the Union; all
who accept the fact that the slavery question
