party rose into power upon the back of
the poor colored man. We had 250. 600
men on the battle field in the late wa
and they shed their blood for our liberty.
The colored man does not owe his liberty
TO the Republican party. The poor
negro has been shot, murdered and tor
tured in the South by the hypocrisy of the
Republicans, and that blood cries up from
the ground that we owe nothing TO the
party for our liberty. Colored soldiers
were arrested in Washington and put in
the guard house by white Republicans.
Only when they were losing battles did
they want the colorcd soldier. Political
necessity and thirst for power were the
things which induced the Republicans to
give him the right to vote. They knew
they had no power TO keep the colored
man in the South. They knew, oh, they
knew, that they were deceiving these
men. They are responsible for every
colored man whose blood has been shed
in the South. They knew the white
people would stop fighting them as soon
as the colored people stopped fighting
them. They knew they could deceive
these trusting colored people They put

ored men, and point with pride at what
they have done for the colOred man
while they cruelty the masses. Is 1t not
the truth2 Is not the negro of Will
mington a slave and has he not been
such for years? The white Republican
has been bartering and trading on the
duplicity of the mass of the poor colored
man for years. For forty years / have
looked at the scheming and deceiving
done by these men. do not advise YOU
to vote this way or that way. | simply
advise you to vote as you please and
make your vote voice your sentiments
Let the Republicans give up to him his
tax receipt, and let him exercise the
right Of an American citizen. Hold the
ballot as your bayonet. All that is at
stake today in American politics is what
you can make out of It
THE ballot is the protection to my
wife and children After the reconstruc-
tion period did not the Republican
party allow the legislature of .Missis
sippi TO pass a constitutional amendment
which cut off 1870, 900 colored votes at one

lief and stop itl Did the Supreme Court
decide it unconstitutional? Was not the
president OF the United States elected on
the negro question: Would they have
had a ghost of a chance in the doubtful
states If they had not had the help Of the
negro? They regard them as ignorant
men and know they can use them. Is
there a man here who has been voting
for years and who is so weak he is afraid |
of free speech? | point to that Grand |
Army man sitting there He walks the
path in your state that the colored man
walked in Virginia eighteen years ago |
He begs his race TO hear him. He wants |
his children to 20 in higher walks Of life. |
IF man comes to Wilmington he is |

beautiful condition of affairs. What |
right have these people TO question your

other foreigners may come here and |
never be questioned But when native |

Lynch with his So 600 position be treated
that wayY No, then this morning paper
which assailed us, will put them up be-
fore you as great representative men
"A colored leader in one of your wards
tells me that when he was about to be
sold ont of house and home he went to a
Republican oiiiceholder here and also to a
candidate for Office, They refused to
lelp him, but leading Democrat ad
'anced the money to save his home
That shows how much the Republicans
owe the colored man. You are in polit
al bondage, but You don't know how you
ire held until you try to get away. The
grip is strong as death. You can't think
or yourselves. Did the Republicans
,ass the Blair Educational bill? MOI
eight Of them voted against it led by
Iohn sherman. These men who are
making money are more dangerous to the
legro than the Democrats of the South.
The Negro Question Dropped.
The negro question has been dropped.
Now 1t is protection and reciprocity.
lave the Republicans ever done any
hing to protect negro labor from the
1auper immigration2 No. We want ]
more protection and care, and not let |
Dauper labor come here and eat out our
substance Republicans foster an infant
with $4,000, 000 capital and Mr.
Andrew Carnegie at its head but do
not foster the welfare and labor of the
colored man.
Reciprocity of Feeling.
The kind Of reciprocity | want and |
that all colored men need, is a recipro- |
