The NEGRO.
Seems 10 Hold the Balance Of Power in the
Tar Heel State.

Z RALEIGH, N. c., Oct. 20.-(Special. y
The agreement of the Republicans and Pop
ulists to make common cause against the
common enemy has solved the negro PROB
lem in this state. The Democratic party
is arguing, pleading and begging for the
negro vote, and if they cannot get enough
of them by these means they are prepared
to buy all who will sell. They will not
find great many of this kind.
There is no color line nor white mans
party in this campaign. The Democratic
speakers address themselves to the negroes
in very respectful terms, and are to be seen
electioneering with them on all occasions.
The success or defeat of the Democrats
turns upon the number of negroes who vote
the Democratic ticket. The despised Afri-
can, after thirty years of persecution and
outrage, now holds the balance of political
power and is coutted by the Democratic
leaders. But the negcoes understand the
Democrats, and it is certsin that very few
of them will vote the Democratic ticket at
the approaching election; while not single
colored leader is against cooperation.
To show their good faith toward the
colored men, the Populists have elected
them delegates to their conventions, and,
wherever it has been wise to do so, have
nominated colored men for Office AMI are
heartily supporting them.
The Democrats have a host of speakers
Oh the stump, but they are meeting very
small crowds, who are not at all enthusiasts
tic. General apathy appears to prevail in
the Democratic ranks, while the Republi-
can and Populist speakers have been re-
Ct ived by crowds larger thsn usual, and
evincing enthusiasm and determination.
