The Negro in the North.
Montgomery Advertiser.

Kansas loves the negro, but all the
same in a state election whe4 for the first
and only time negro was on the Repub-
lican ticket, he ran $4,000 behind his
white associates all on account Of his
color. The indianapolis Sentinel, pub
lished at the home Of President Harri-
son, calls attention to the fact that there
are $500 negro votes in that city alone,
and that Harrison 8 plurality in the state
was only 2200 The Republican official
with headquarters at indianapolis have
IT'S clerical positions at their disposal,
and not one has been given to negro.
The only members of the race employed
in any capacity are some colored men
who are engaged about the several
public buildings in scIubbing floors,
cleaning spittons, and performing other
like mental services, which white poll
ticians do not banker after. It further
points out that no colored man has ever
been nominated by the Republicans for a
state office in Indiana, that there are no
colored mayors, sheriffs, auditors,
treasurers, city or county clerks, or
judges in Indiana, and never have been
any, although about half of ths counties
are epublican-many of them
only through the colored vote;
and that, although Mr.. Har-
rlson has appointed a host of Federal
officials IN Indiana, not even so much as
one little fourth-class postoffice has been
given to negro.

THE REPUBLICAN, PABTY AND THE

Ne GRO.
Certain papers in the North have been
making a good deal of fuss recently
about the fact that the negroes have so
little representation IN the administra-
ton of the government, charging the
fault upon the Democratic party. 1t
takes but short glance at the figures to
show how insincere is their pretended
grief over this state of affairs. But one
colored man was elected to congress at
the last election, it is true, but he was
elected from a Southern state; all the
postmasters, all the members of legisla-
lures, all the Offices of any kind, state
or national, held by colored men are in
the Southern states, with the exception
of some in the District of Columbia and
a very few unimportant foreign appoint
ments not desired by white Republicans.
In the Texas legislature are colored men,
and during the last session no members of
that body were heard with more respect
when they. arose to speak. In almost
every Southern state we find the same
thing. Here there Is race division, and
a large majority of the negroes are OPP
posed in politics to the almost unani-
nous body of whites. How is it
in the North? Let us look ,at
some of the states where the
strength of the two parties is so nearly
equal and the colored population so large
that the negro voter has the balance of
power, ana see how they are treated by
the party to which they make victory
possible.
In Illinois there is a negro vote of TO-
900. The majority for Fifer was less
than twenty thousand, and had the ne
gro vote gone to Palmer he would have
been elected. No colored member of
congress goes from Illinois to Washing
ton; no Illinois county is represented in
the legislature by a negro; no American
citizen of African descent stands at the
window of any Illinois postoffice dispens-
ing mail and stamps.
Indiana gave majority for Harrison,
but the negroes held the balance of pow
er; New York went Republican last wear,
thanks to the negro voters; Ohio, with
out the colored man, would be a certain
Democratic state, yet in none of these is
any political reward given the man and
brother for his faithfulness. Would it
not be well for the Northern Republican
to Go something for the negro who stands
at his own door, before foaming at the
mouth about the ills suffered by those
who live in the South? -Four of the large
states of the Union are saved to the Re
publican party by the negro vote, giving
that party the presidency and 100 900
minor office holders, and as yet the negro
in those states are without their reward.
Until the Republicans of the North
shall show disposition to make some re-
turn to the colored voters in their own
states for party services, little heed will
be paid their hypocritical whine and
sniffie about the negroes lack of repre-
sentation in the South =
