to abandon his own party-the only hope
for political existence he has left,
and surrender Internationally to the
enemy. This is equivalent to the offer Of
the alternative of continued persecution
unless the negro submits to virtual dis
reimbursement. For q black man to
blindly vote the Democratic ticket, which
he had no hand in forming, would be to
deliver himself up bound hand and foot
to his class enemy. We think there is a
much better way provided by law for the
protection of the negro, and that is to
let him have full, free and unrestricted
right to choose his rulers and representa-
tives from first to last. Surely, one-half
the voters of this State are entitled to some
consideration, not only at the polls, but
in the primary elections and nominating
conventions.

4 NEW CHAMPION OF THE NEGROES.

The P;cay,ne has appeared in the en-
tirely new role Of champion of the colored
people. 1t Indignantly asks:
What is the use of having State ruled
by the Republicans if they can not protect
the negro and secure his rights!
Because, then the Republican party of
this State, for instance, composed of FIVE
sixths of colored people, has not at all
times, and in all places, had the power to
protect the negroes, there is no use in
having the State ruled by it. But let US
inquire from whom do the negroes require
protection? In which party are found
the bulldozers, White Leaguers, Ku-Klux
and the green goggled men of Coushatta?
Because the shepherds can not protect all
the sheep from the wolves, is the whole
fold to be abandoned to the wolves? If
the Democrats sincerely desire the pro-
lection of the negroes, they might lend
us a helping hand, at least, to the extent
of ceasing their prosecutions for awhile
We never hear of expressions to the ne
groes, or any other class, in such decided
ly Republican States as Massachusetts,,
Iowa, Illinois and Ohio. Why should
there be in Democratic Mississippi,
Georgia, Alabama, or the Democratic
pcrishes of Louisiana? What guarantee
has the colored man for protection at the
hands of the Louisiana Democracy, upon
whose ticket he does not even have recog-
milton? The numbers Of the colored
people in this State give it three additional
representatives in Congress. The Demo-
Gratis have nominated white men for all
Of the half dozen positions. They have
made clear white ticket throughout, and
impudently demand that the colored Re-
publicans vote the self-nominated candi-
dates into Office, and without being able
to show single qua rantee for the future
that the negro will be treated as man
should be, or Recognition Of his claims
as constituent citizen, they ask him

representation of this State in Congress
would be- reduced to two or perhaps
three members. Everybody would still
vote as before, but the State would lose
the representation of those citizens who
were thus debarred the practical re pre-

would only be saved by suspending the
official rewards which the Democrats
sought by the murder or terror Of the
colored people.
We make no predictions upon this sub
