FIRST EDITION.
The Republicans Nowhere With
out the Negro.

| EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE - Inc
Republican says the correspondent
Democrat, makes very lame defense,
but it is the best that could be made"
Why, sir, he has not answered any
thing that your correspondent asked
him. He knows it is the truth. This
| question ] ask him to answer lie
states New Castle County has rs, 900
inhabitants, and only ten Representa-
tives. / suppose he desires the eight
or ten Thousand negroes to have about
three negroes to represent them, and
this is why he is dissatisfied. Now,
Mr.. Republican, speak out. How many
negro representatives do you claim for
New Castle County, and who are the
persons of black skin you will vote for
at the next election2 Please name
them. If there are but ten to be
elected, what proportion do you in
tend to give them out of the ten This
is an important matter, and the voters
should be apprised Of your intentions.
| Speak out Mr.. Editor, this negro
Representative question is not one that
he cares about discussing he wants
the negro to vote for some white Re-
publican for Representative, and then
return to cleaning out cesspools, and
driving coal carts. He is in favor of
white men, Republicans, filling all the
offices, hence, he is in favor of white
mans party. II he is not, let him
name some negroes he desires to vote
for at the next election for any office.
If he does not do so, think his ques-
tion he asked to-day, in an editorial,
asking where is that white mans par
ty. is answered. Negroes will do to
vote his white Republicans into Office,
but they cannot in any event be nomi-
mated. Why discriminate ON account
of color or condition Are they to be
disfranchised in this County and
State Have the ten thousand negroes
in this County no voice in the councils
of their professed friends? Are they
to be made tools of for the purpose of
electing their white brethren to Of
fee? and they to be told quietly that
they are unfit, ignorant and lazy; that
after they pay their poll tax and vote
| for man who is ashamed to associate
with them, there is nothing more for
poor darkey until next time. This is
not fair treatment of this white mans
Office electing party. The negro should
assert his rights in the Radical camp
or raise row. The negro has moth
ing to hope for from these deceitful
Radicals If he dares to think and
judge for himself he is threatened with
a bowling mob. They must obey
their masters or terrible things will
overtake them. This is not right, they
should be protected in all their rights,
under the laws governing this State
Ii they desire to be assessed they have
intelligence enough to go the assessor
Mt the proper time, months ago, but as
they do not expect any office from
their professed friends, they abstain
from being assessed. They are aware
that the ten thousand black people in
this County have no voice in the coun-
ellis Of the Radical camp. They are
ignored, and are of no use except for
one special purpose, that is, to help
the white Radical party to obtain Of
flee. The white mans radical-office-
holding party find out they are in a
large minority in this County. In or
der that they may have some hope of
filling all the offices they hunt the poor
negroes from every quarter, and drive
them like flock of sheep to the asses
sor, and by all sorts of trickery, fraud
and false swearing, have them assess
ed, not for the negro's benefit, but for
the white mans radical-o al-office-holding
party. 1t is shame, Mr.. Editor, that
these Radicals have the effrontery to
disfranchise ten thousand negroes in
this County, when they have done
what they could for them in years past.
Win the Republican state why 5000,
$50 people of the State of New York
are disfranchised They have but two
Senators. Delaware has but 140,0
people and has two Senator's
This is an outrage according to the
Republican. The Ninth Ward with
it's small vote has two members of
Council. The Seventh, Eighth
and Tenth have more than
double the population of the
Ninth hence according to the
Republican they should each have four
members instead of two. Mr.. Editor,
the argument of the Republican is
weak and looks like it might have
been concocted by his political sister,
Eliza Pinkston. Mr.. Republican
please tell us why it is that in the State
Of Rhode Island the mechanics and
laboring men are DISTINGUISHED, also
then of foreign birth. This is why, if
mey had their rights the State would
be democratic, also Massachusetts is
governed so rs to deprive thousands of
it's people from voting. This is done
to keep the white mans Radical Office
holding party in power, and it is all
right for the Republican. Does the
Republican remembe when the negroes
first voted at their nomination for
sheriff and Coroner at the City Hall
how the covered them all over with
taffy. Why they smeared it on so thick
that the candidates embraced the ne
groes for their votes. 1t was so sick
ming that hundreds of white men be-
came disgusted and ashamed of such a
party and voted the good old demo-
cratic ticket which is ever true and
faithful to the laws of the States and
the country. This is why you need SO
. many negroes to I'LL up your broken
, and desected ranks. You might in
! duce postmaster who left Whining
ton between two suns to come to your
rescue. He was one Of your hones'
kind. There was once loyal bank
officer who hated democrats he went
! south after robbing the bank he was
