lIua recent communication to the CHEoN-
IgLF Or. J. ]. Mott, referring to the recent
election. said that it was .~or ~ white
people Of this country for the Republican
party. In this he was mistaken, for IN
New York. Ohio, Illinois and Indiana end
other Northern States the negroes hold tae
balance Of power. rheg used ,heir power
to secure tie election of Mr. Harrison,
and. therefore, NJ Harrison owes
election 70 the negro vote. Upon the
ular vote Cleveland i3s majority Of
about 100, GOO. Cleveland got ne nesIo
votes, therefore Harrison owes his eiec ion
to the negro vote and DIR. Mott is, there
fore. mistaken in his statement. For his
information, We publish the following ar

What a strange commentary on free
institutions is the fact that a majority Of
a million and half of white men voted
in favor of Cleveland. Harrison viii rule
bv the will of ex-slaves. If there was not
an African in America Cleveland would
have an overwhelming majority. How
severe tile strain on the republic when the
Ethiopians without the faintest notion Of
the ballot take away political power from
the majority of white citizens. The An
glo Saxon, after centuries of civilization,
finds himself under the thrall Of barbar-
ians of recent remove from equatorial
Africa. The masters of the world become
the political slaves of its hereditary serfs.
Think of the government of England de-
termined by the stupid vote of the freed
blacks of Hayti, That is the precise stu
alton in the United States.
4 million Of men, the best and bravest
butchered each other that a dull and be
sotted alien race nj GIT hold the balance
Of power among the English speaking peo
pie.
Consider also that the Chinese, who are
the greatest tribe Of the East-a nation
producing wonders in architecture, art
finance, political economy are scoutec
from our shores, while the negro whose
