AN AFR1oAN1zED REPUBLIC.

| blue-eyed Saxon. The Negro ID lncrea6-
ing and multiplying more rapidly than
the American and while this country
draws immigration from every nation
! and people and tribe on earth, the Ne
gro in the United States iS as numerous
as all the foreign. born people combined.
There is no country on earth however
small that dots not contribute by emil
grafton from its borders to our popula'
ton, but the Negro. established on the
soil not wholly with his own consent,
equals them all in numbers and exceeds
them all in increase. The foreign.
born population in the United States is
shown by the recent census TO be 6.677,-
$50. The colored population of the
country is 657716l. Our Republican
brethren are accustomed to assume that
the foreign.born voter is ignorant; but
all the foreign-born voters combined do
not equal in number the Negro voters.
Another interesting fact to the stu.
dent Of our future is that the increase Of
the Negro population in this country is
in excess of our foreign immigration.
Another interesting fact, we repeat, is
that the increase in the Negro popula-
ton is far greater than that Of the white
population Of the country. In fact, the
per Centage of growth of the Negro in
the United States is shown by the CEN
sus Of 1880 to be greater than that of the
white native population and of foreign
immigration combined. If this per
Centage of increase should be main.
tanned for a long series Of years, the Ne.
gro would possess the land, own the
Government, engineer the Republic.
To-day the Negro in the North holds
the Republic in his right hand. The
Republican party maintains asCendenCy
only by the Northern Negroes vote. A
few years ago Government in the South
was AfriCanized; to-day the Govern
ment of the Republic is AfriCanized.
1t was the Negro in the North that gave
this Presidency to the Republican party.
Let us look at the Negro population of
some of the Nortern States. The col.
ored population of Connecticut is II. 900;
Of Illinois, $4,000; of Indiana, $4,000;
Of Ohio, 10000; Of Pennsylvania, $500
of Massachusetts, $4,000; of Michigan
$4,000; of New Jersey, $4,000; of New
York, $4,000, 1t is not necessary to say
that some of these States are close polit.
iGal States. Neither is it necessary ia
say that the Negro is an industrious vo.
ter. Still less is it necessary to say that
the Negro in the North is versatile
movable voter. In these estimates
however we shall not include the mi
gratory tendencies ofthe Negro.
There are nearly 1900 colored voters
in Connecticut; the majority for Garfield
in that State last November was 2 568
There are about 10000 Negro voters in
Illinois, and the majority for Garfield in
that State was but $1,000. But import.
ant fact is found in Indiana. This was
regarded as the battle-ground of the
Presidential election. Negroes had been
colonized in that State with partizan in.
dustry. They had meandered across
the Ohio to Indiana for the old flag and
little appropriation. But without this
colored immigration there were in Indi-
ana, as the census shows, nearly 10000
Colored voters, an the majority for Ga.
field in Indiana WAS but 6,642 If Ind
ana decided the Presidential election
who shall say thl the Republic is moi
already Africaniz d.
With nearly 600 Negro votes in
Nav Jersey, the Democrats were still
able to carry th State. With, 10000
colored votes in NV York-not includ.
importatious--the Republican majority
was still but 10000 There are twenty
thousand colored votes in Pennsylvania,
and Gardeld's majority in that State
last November was Il, ,625. What Of our
own StateP There are not far'from 90
900 colored voters In this State when
there is no election pending, There are
thousands more than that number in
Ohio on election day. This is great
Republican State, and Garfeld's major.
ity in the State last November was 25,
155, number not more than equal
probably not equal, to the number Of
Negro votes honestly and dishonesty
cast in his favor. -
The Republican policy is to howl
against the German and the Irish, and
to forbid privileges to naturalized citi'
zens, and at the same time to turn loose
the Negro on the Republic. Malone
and the Negro have similar and dissimi
lar relations to the Republican party
Malone and he whom he used to call
the "nigger" stand shoulder to shoulder
but the Republican party owns the Ne
gro and Malone owns the Republican
party. Malone the Rebel and Traitor
the Repudiator, the SlaVe.master who
formerly owned the Negro, has now ad.
ded the United States Senate to his
possessions. But this is aside. The inn
