The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1892-05-23

10rts OF the hapdbliGun managers to 4
foster AMI inilams ignorant race pre-
judice," was part of one Of the reso-
buttons passed by the Democratic /
State convention at Dover last rucs- |
day. The resolution bears the marks
OF insincerity and hypocrisy upon lie
face. Republican "Ctlasses" in the
Sunday Star, referring t. the rcsolu-
ton says:
> I'm Bsop's Fables may he found a |
narrative OF the wolf aud the lamb |
going down to stream of water at |
the same time to get drink. The |
VOL stood farther up the stream,
and, seeking n pretence to quarrel |
with his neighbour complained that |
the lamb was making the water SO |
muddy that he (the WOLF could not |
drink, when the reverse was just the |
case. This is exactly what the Demo.
cratic party OF Delaware is doing
And he is right There never has
been time since or before tho late
Chancellor salisbury when n United
States Senator. raised the issue OF
white Mans Party" when SO much
has been said by Democratic papers
about race preiudices AMI false ac-
cusations have been made against tho
Republican party for raising them
Scarcely an issue of tho Democratic
papers of our city appears in which
there is not illumination against the
negro. 1t seems to DO the settled
purpose OF the Democrats that the
present campaign shall be fought out
upon that line. Tho tariff is but II sec
ondary matter, the negro is to be kept
to the front, and every colored man
who cannot be brought to vote the
: Democratic ticket Is to be slandered
and traduced for all that is vile and
mean. We do not wish it to lie under
stood that many colorcd mon can be
nduced to vote the Democratic ticket
I'VE would not slnndgr the race by
making the assertion. All in this city
i Of $500 colored voters who would vote
7 with the Democratic party can be
counted upon the tingors of ono's
2nd. They have had every induce
ment offered them to apoatatize but
they have spurned the offers and pre-
FRED gratefully to remain with the
PARTY that gave them their frCedom,
whether in victory or defeat.
Now, who is raising up race prciu-
dlces but the Democratic party and
the Democratic papers? What hcuiOu5
= crime have the colored men commit.
: ted that they should be made the
!. special target of democratic venom
What have the white Republicans done
that they should be falsely accused OF
stirring up race prcIudlccs?
The Democrats know that with tho
colored vote the Republicans have a
majority OF from 300 to 2OJO in Naw
/. Castle County alone and II large ma
jority in the State They know that it
. is only by the dishonest manipulation
OF tho colored vote through tho
