Win interest the proceedings Of the
negro convention held In Dover on
Septemoer 2btli. some Important
lessons may be drawn therefrom by the
white people OF the State which should
influence and guide them in casting
Their votes at the coming election.
Inc nrst thing we note Is, that the
negro, as evidenced by the acts of this
convention, Is, without regard to policy
or principle, n devoted follower of the
Republican party. Money and senti-
mont seem to control him. Money for
inc leaders ana sentiment Tor the more
ignorant followers. The Republican
protective tarll, which bears most
heavily upon agriculture, in which
occupation the negro is almost wholly
employed, gets no consideration at his
hands, though he has been sorely
oppressed by it.. The Republican boss

out the negro, In ais second slavery,

MS own interests. A member of his

as an enemy, and would lynch him il he

those OF MS race guilty OF the crime OF
ielonlous assault upon white women,
but has no word of condemnation for
the horrible aud Infamous criminal and
the crime he commits.
l Will not now speak of his moral
status, or OF his relations to the State as
pauper and criminal, but desire to call
attention to the consequences likely to
grow out OF the union OF this ignorant
ana submissive class OF voters with a
party whose entire hope OF success at
me coming election is based upon the
hdeiity OF the negro vote, and the use Of
money to debauch the white vote. The
history oil the campaign OF 1899 was II
