The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1873-10-02
pemoerafy and the OoIorea PeopIe.

While the willy Democrats of Ohio,
and other northern States, are trying
to ALLEVIATE the colored peoUle from
the Republican party, their political
brethren in Virginia are doing their
best to revive in politics the old "war
of aces"which for third Ofa century
WAS the chief element in the strength
of the National Democracy. In proof
of this, we ask the cOlored people to
read the following paragraph from the
Richmond Enquirer, the organ of the
/ Virginia Democracy:
"rhis is the real issue; white or
black. 1t should be the only one,
and must be with all men who are not
blinded by prejudice, passion, or in
terest. The question is
whether the white people Of Virginia
shall control in our State government
or the negroes and their allies.
1t will be incumbent upon white men
who want white men to control our
councils, to consider the question of
white or black superior to all other
questions. The great question
IS the ascendeney Of this race or that
in our State government; and there
can be no neutral ground for any man
to occupy when the day of election
arrives. He who votes the Conserva-
tive ticket can be on the side of the
white man; he who votes the radical
ticket, or refuses to vote for either,
Will be on the side Of the negro"
But this is not all. The Virginia
Democracy do more than talk. They
have begun to make their hostility ef-
feetive. The Legislature of that State
has so distrieted the representation in
braneheg of Legislature that the reIa-
tive power o. the white suffrage of
the State two to one. With this adj
vantage by the trick of gerrymander-
ing, they propose to make more bitter
than ever the "war of races"
OF course this will hurt the State of
Virginia and the south more than it
will hurt the African race or the cOun-
try elsewhere, hut it is the old malig-
nant demon OF our politics still in pos
session OF the Democratic party
Colored voters, If they value their
liberties, must beware OF the de-
vices Of their enemies to detaeh them
from the party to which they owe all
they nov possess Of political rights.
