He Wants Northern Negro Votes.
To ne Editor Of he Dispatch;
In the last issue Of The Forum there is an
article written by Senator Hosr in de-
fence of the force bill. After revamping
some OF the stale, hypocritical, and
untenable excuses and arguments that
were used in Congress last session and
from the hastings last fall by the sectional
and revolutionary members of his party,
he SAYS the election bill must be made the
chief issue in the next presidential cam
paign.
No one knows better than Mr.. Hoar that
tho force bill has received its eternal
qitiettis and can never again be made live
issue in the political campaigns OF this
country. The couDtry is becoming daily
more practical. The North and the South,
through mutual business enterprises and
interests, are becoming better acquainted.
The animosities of the war are rapidly dy-
ing out. The bloody shirt waves languid--
" and the thousands of lies manufactured
TO order by the vile, despioable, hireling
pimps Of the Republican leaders have been
exploded and lost their potency with the
intelligent masses everywhere.
VERY HARD UP.
And while il is true that the grand old
party" is very hard up for an issue upon
which they can have the slightest hope OF
harmonizing and reuniting their disgust
cd, demorahzed, and scattered forces IN
the next presidential campaign, vet they
know tull well that the force bill cannot
possibly be made an available issue, in
1892, and il is not at oil probable that
they will try to resurrect 1t from
the dishonored grave to which IT
was consigned last fall by the verdict of
an overwhelming majority of the aroused
and indignant voters OF the country, On;
no; the force bill will not be introduced
as an issue by the Republican party. On
the contrary, they would be too glad
to have it out of sight and out
of memory. But, like Banquos ghost
IL will not down, for the faith
full Democratic sentinels, inspired with the
love of freedom and of country, whom
they will DO compelled to meet on every
hustines, will keep them and the people in
remembrance of their mad and almost
superhuman efforts TO reyolutionlze
our constitutional republican form OF
government. and 10 tear down the
very pillars of the temple OF the
peoples liberties. They viii also be
forced 10 answer to the people for the en-
actment of the "iniquitous Mckinley bills
for their defeat of the silver bill =;
for their immense and fraudulent pension
appropriations. and for long catalogueot
other crimes and enormities visited upon
the people for no other purpose than 10
perpetuate themselves as party IN the
control of the Government.
BLACK RECORD.
No marty in the history of this country
has ever had to go into national cam
paign with so black and indefensiole
record as will the Republican party IN the
next presidential campaign. indeed, the
germs of corruption and decay have ALREADY,
fastened themselves upon thor yitais and
there will soon be nothing left OF them
hut the scornful remembrance OF mankind
FOR their unparalleled vices. their crimes,
and their treachery to their race and their
blood-bought free institutions.
AFTRR THE NEGRO VOTE.
