A novel feature of the Alabama
election was the fact that the ne
groes turned out and worked for
the democratic ticket. The result
is encouraging because it indicates
that the better element among the
negroes has reached that point
where it recognizes the folly. of
trying to arouse and inAame the
prejudices existing between the
races. The election also gives en-
couragement to those who hope

Henceforth the battle will be a
battle waged in the debatable
states of the North. The republi-
can campaigners will throw no
more money away in dalliance with
the farmers alliance. The soup
that was in the dish has been
split. They will concentrate their
efforts and their cash in an at
tempt to repeat their achievement
of 1888, when they really pur-
chased the presidency with the
fat fried out of protected man.

With the white vote split it was
evident that the colored vote would
be the determining factor, but

democratic party.-Hartford Post,
The colored brother has finally

forbid wanton sectional and race
disturbance in which he is ever

blatant demagogues of the North
to cease their malicious libels upon
all races in the South and he has
spoken with such emphasis that
he who runs may read. Such is
the lesson of Alabama in 1892

The failure of Kolb, the bolting
democrat, supported by the thirC

the defeat of the whole ticket and
coalition of which he was repre-.
