accustomed 10 assume that the foreign
born voter Is ignorant; but All the
forcign-born voters combined do not
equal in number the negro voters.
Another interesting fact 10 the stu
dent Of our future Is that the increase
Of the negro population il this country
Is in excess Of our foreign immigration.
Another interesting fact. we repeat, Is
that the increase in the negro popnla-
ton is far greater than that OF the
white population Of the country. In
fact, the percentage Of growth Of the
negro IN the United States Is shown BY
the census Of 1880 to be greater than
that Of the white native population and
OF foreign immigration combined. II
this percentage OF increase should be
maintained for d long series Of years,
the negro would possess the land. own

To-day the negro in the North holds
the Republic in his right hand The
Republican party maintains aSccndency
only BY the Northern neeros vote. A
few years ago Government III the South
was Africanized: to-day the Govern
ment Of the Republic is Africanized. Ii
was the negro in the North that gave
this Presidency TO the Republican party.

Is il necessary 70 say that the negro Is

necessary to say that The negro in the
North is versatile. movable voter. In
these estimates, however. We shall not
include the migratory tendencies Of the
negro.
There are nearly 1900 colored voters
n Connecticut; the majority for Gar
held in that State last November was
2,56S. There are about $4,000 negro
voters in Illinois. and the majority for
Garfield in that State was but 13.OO).
But the important fact il found in In
diana This was regarded as the bat
Ilc-ground Of the Presidential election.
Negroes had been colonized il that
Stale with partisan industry. They had
across the Ohio 10 Indiana
Tor the old flag and a little appropria-
ton. But without this colored immi-
grafton there we're in Indiana, as the
census shows. nearly ten thousand col
pred voters, and the majority for Gar
held in Indiana was but 6.642 II Indi-
ina decided the Presidential election.
Who shall say that the Republic Is not
already Africanizcd?
With nearly ten thousand negro
Totes IN New Jersey the Democrats
we're still able 70 carry the State. With
5000 colorcd votes in New York not
including importations the Repub-
lean majority was still but twenty
thousand. There are twenty thousand
'olorcd votes in Pennsylvania. and
;ariield's majority in that State last
November was l4.625. What 81 our
