NEGRO SUFFRAGE THE ANNOUNCED
RADICAL PROGRAMME IN TEN
NEsSEE.

Governor BRowNIow, in a speech deliv-
cred at Philadelphia on Saturday evening
last, aAer speaking Of the past legislation of
the Tennessee Legislature, said:
awe have but one more law to pass, and
that is, a law enfranchising the negro, and
we viii do il next winter. We have two
reasons for doing this: The first is a sell
fish one il is necessary for sixty or seventy
thousand votes 10 kick the beam, 10 weigh
down the balance against rebelism. The
second reason IL because il is proper and
Just, and we will simply be returning TO
where we were in 1888. The negroes used
90 vote in Tennessee. Old JACKSON and
JoHN BELL, and FELIX GRUNDY used to
treat them with liquor, and electioneer with
them for their votes. JoHN BELL once
beat FELIX GRUNDY for Congress in the
Nashville District, by a few votes, and
would not have done il but for the negro
vote. That was prior TO 1893"
The people Of Tennessee propose to say =
good deal in regard to this question before
they permit the Radical oonclaye, which is
10 assemble in November, under the lead Of
BRowNLow, FLETCHER, ARNELL 4 Co, to
force negro suffrage upon them.
One statement in the above extract, how
ever, is historically untrue. In the contest
between Mr.. BELL and Judge GRUMPY, in
1927, Mr. BELL did receive the free colored
vote in this county 10 the number Of seventy.
The other counties, Rutherford and Will
Hanson, did not poll that number Of colored
votes combined, and the whole number in
the district did not exceed one hundred, or
Whereabouts. Mr.. BELL's majority was more
than one thousand This fact is stated to
robut the assertion that negro votes were
ever controlling, or even noticeable Gle
ment in the politics of this State. Gov.
BRowNI.ow now wants negro suffrage to
kick the beam" and determine the politi-
cal complexion Of the State. Il will never
be done; and the public man who advocates
Il viii kick the political bucket
