NEGRO EQUALITY.
But there is another question. The Demo-
N IA IN
their own grasp because they have in Justice
and In right. adopted the proposition to allow
the poor negro the right Of suffrage This is a
terrible thing. The Democrats are all opposed
TO Il, and whether the Republicans ia Ohio are
all for it or not, don't know but will give you
my views In reference to II. They say we have
allowed the negroes to vote in these rebel States
That is true, and we allow all loyal white men to
vote, and we don't allow rebels TO vote. There is.
where the shoe pinche5. If we would allow the
rebels to vote they would vote the Democratic
ticket and few such might have given the
Conservatives the state Of Tennessee, As II was
they didn't That is the trouble.
Now want some Democrat to give reason
why the negro should not vote / have read
their speeches, and all they say is, we don't want
the nigger to vote, and turn up their noses as
they say It, A gentleman in Congress from your
State says the negro does not belong to the hu.

euce. If they were not made by the hand of God.
| would like 10 know by whom they were made.
The devil didn't exist ut the time man was made
and the devil found himself In the position that
Nallandlgham finds himself now He was once
a respectable angel In heaven, but while attempt
ing treason the archangel heaved him over the
battlements of paradise into hell where he has
been ever since. LCheers.
Now, tell me why II Is white men are entitled
70 vote. They did not have that right before the
revolution. How did they get III They rot 1t
by having themselves recognized as free people,
by being citizens Of the United States, that allow
cd It's cltlzens who paid taxes to vote. You
didn't get II because you were white No, 1t Is
not In the Constitution nor in the Declaration Of
Independence. You got the right TO vote be-
cause you were part Of the Government of tho
United States. And when the United States be-
came Government, tell me, Democrats how
many free negroes were excluded from the ballot
boxi You can name but one State of the Union
that did not allow free negroes TO vote, aud that
was South Carolina. In Tennessee, In 1880, Gen.
jackson received their votes when elected Pres-
dent OF tho United States the last time They
were allowed to vote under the adminisLrat ions
Of Jefferson, Madison and Jackson, because they
were paying taxes the same as white people.
Prejudice against them grew up because Of the
growth of slavery because In the South they
were determined there should be no free persons
OF color; and In some States they sold free peo-
pie, If they would not leave the State in order to
make them all slaves. The man who says the
negro should not vote because he does not be-
long TO the human race will not talk with be
ought not 10 show himself 10 decent society.
Years ago you had Democratic Legislature
which decided that the man who had onehalf
black blood in him should vote, Now, will any
Democrat tell pe which half Of these negroes
vote the white half or tho black haf2 II only
the white half why should he cast moro than half
votel If you won't allow man to vote be-
cause he has black skin, you have tho same
right TO say | shall not vote because have black
hair. dont care whether n man Is black, red
blue or white, II be Is civilized man. In Chris
tan community like ours, every man, unless he
has forfeited his right by the commission of
crime, each and every such citizen II ho pays
taxes, works the roads, or is subject TO the call
Of bis Government 10 fight for It's preservation,
he has the right TO aay who the men shall be that
control the Government.
TIE FEMANG AND THE NEGROES.
We have great many Trlshmcn among u.s. and
they say they want freedom In Ireland Why do
they want freedom7 They want to be lndepen-
dent: they want 10 participate In the affairs Of
Government. They ask us 10 sympathise with
them, and II could assist them would be vii.

Let me put case 10 my Democratic friends that
are afraid of the negro. How many have You of
the colored persuasion In Ohio. A volce--"0nly
