DEMOCRACY AND THE NEGRO.

The negro has been for 20 years
taught to appreciate tyranny and in
justice from the Democratic party
should the latter win national cam
paign and control the administration
of affairs. In consequence of this teach
ing the colored race has bitterly and
persistently opposed the Democratic
party, and has unquestionably been
largely instrumental in keeping the
party from the acquisition of power.
Conscious of these facts, the intelligent
colored editor of the most important
colored organ in the country, the New
York Freeman, in recent issue said:
"Let us be manly and consistent. We
have no right to expect benefits where
we have rendered no service. If we are
anxious to share the advantages of
Democratic victories, we must help the
Democrats to winW
Notwithstanding this universal hos
tility of the negro TO the Democracy,
some Of them have just recently re-
ceived marked favors at the hands Of
the present administration and many
more VIII doubtless be appointed. The
faithful or intelligent few who have re-
fused to listen to these campaign lies and
who have helped Democracy win its
hard fought battles, are to be remem-
bered and will receive far more signal
recognition from the dreaded DemOc-
racy than their race has ever got from
Republication. There is, in short, no
hostility on the part Of the administra-
ton or the Democratic party to tho me-
gro, but the kindliest feeling, and the
poor deluded blacks would profit by a
recognition OF this, to them, important
fact.
The Courier-Journal remarks on this
subject; "If tho negroes should become
dissatisfied at the number OF their race
who shall be selected to serve the gov
eminent, they should bear in mind that
the number OF them who have had the
courage to act with the Democratic
party is very small, and hence the
material from which to choose
Democratic office holders is very linz
tied. A comprehension OF these plain
lacts may save misunderstanding and
misrepresentation among those negroes
who have been taught to believe that
the Republican party is the only party
worthy Of their support"
The negro is as well OF as he has ever
boen and has as much attention paid
him by the administration, but, as his
organ remarks, If he expects full r5cog-
milton lie must do foil service. The
treatment Of the cOlored brother, lib
eral and conservative as it is, indicates
as Enthusiastically as any other fact, the
just and impartial ana non-partisOn or
non.seCtionsl character of tho present
administration. But the negroes can
learn an important political lesson
therefrom.

completed to Granbury by the end Of
