THE NEXT, PARTY,


that improbable things, will happen. -.
Certain it 10 that L lleae tshispeTings ia
the South, end not 80 very soft, either, TO
the effect that the next party TO disturb
politics and Distribute patronage will
arise 10 the North, and have foEits corner
stone tho disfranhhiseinent Of the blacks.
Wade Hampton, the kihg white maa of
South Carolina, says that IL will raauiro
the united effort of the South to maiu-
tain negro suffrage in the futurei He
predicts that powerful party will arise
in the North, demaEding the disfranchise-
ment Of tho negroes, because taeif en-.
franchisement ID giving such political
power to the south thai, 'ShIe win soon @
control the National governments, He
thinks this will be the next Great battle.
and that the Southern Yhise men must
defend black suffrage with all their raiglt,
for If it is lost the South viii cut no figure
at all In the National government, having
but about eighty FIVE electoral votes.
Behold what great power negro suf-
fragc has given the South! It has In.
creased their representation 30 largely
that, with the aid of New York, Con-
necticut and California, for instance, they
can control legislation, elect the Presi-
dent and administer the government ma
chine as they may see fit. The rest Of
the United States car whistle. The solid
South and the three States named will
be the government in all that the term
applies, :, e, =, -, :.
there are signs that they do not relish the
prospect now, and hence the very great
effort to hold New York to the Republi-
can party. Tho far-seeing men In the
South or Stnaa ,,.to 49,
seeing, declare that nothing car prevent
the South from having q controlling voice
in the government but the disfranchiss.
ment OF the blacks. And they argue that
this will be the nextgreat question which
will agitate the country, the North con-
tending for black disfranchisement. in
order to keep the South from running the
governments
Il is plain, very plain, that the hlacis
will be made subservient to the whites in
every Southern State, and that 80 fer
from enabling the North 70 hold the gov.
erncent, this acknowledgements is having
precisely the opposite effect, giving the
South SO large numBeriof Congressmen
and electoral vofee that this SECTION, tyill
virtually hereafter be the ruling power at
Washington. ls1 ai5.
Look at Georgia. The white popula.
tion of that State IL but little in excess
Of double the population of Cincinnati.
yet Georgia has nine Democratic Con-
gressmen; two Democratic Senators and
eleven electoral votes!S' A population
| Dut little above twice that of Cincinnati
has all these, ard throws them in q soli6
lump, in the INTEREST," of the solid South.
So far as the blacks of the State are con.
cerned, they have no more voice in tile
l. National government than so many black
stumps. The fact that every Senator and
member Of Congress from Georgia 10 q
Demoerat-and not only Democrat, but
Southern Deinocras-a Georgia-born
Democrats evidence that the blacks of
that State are without voice at Washing.
ton: For all practicable purposes you
had as well give every black stump in
Georgia vote IS every negro. The
whites find 1t aa easy to control one rs
Il the other, and consequently are perfectly
well satisfied with negro suffrage. .as It
gives them nine Cougressmen and eleven
ELECTORAL votes; which they throw in q
solid chunk, In fact, they are beginning
to love negro suffrage, forit viii as surely
give the South control of the National
governfneut as the years roll around. :
| ANOTHER CHEERFUL ExAMPLE
| zIooE at South Carolina. The white
population of that State is now almost
precisely the same as Cincinnati. Yet
this white minority will surely control
the blacks hereafter, and throw the GO, en-
electoral votes with the solid South.
They will yet have all the Congressmcu
and both Senators.,i l. is but a question
Of time. Tie wealth, intelligence, prop
