THE REPUBLICANS AND THE NEGRO
Ex-State-Chairman Mott, of the Re
publican party. says that he is not for "A
white Republican" party. II has been
published In some papers that he was
! making plans for one. lie says the Popu-
lists have taken big slice OF the negro
l vote in the country. and the Democrats
/ have cut deeply into it in the towns.
/ Country negroes like the Populists, he
asserts. Dr. Mott declares himself a
/ "silverite." lie says.
These pulls | have mentioned that
the Populists and Democrats have got
/ on the negro vote. and i'm addition the
/
/ greater peril than the dead Douglass,
| leads me TO believe that the Republican
marty in this State had better keep all
/ the negro votes IL can. even as a factor
i'm another fusion IL had better do this
and fusion multiplied Will be in order
/ next summer.
"a continuation Of fusion, as we have
had IL. depends on the apparent ability
Of the old Democratic organization 10 win
the State back. II there should be any
/ prospect that il will We will fuse again
/ OF course. As IL looks now, there is no
| possibility Of 1t being able to do so. and
there IS every indication that it Will dc
20 to pieces and fuse with the other diff
/ ferent elements in the State on the money
question. With this opinion, I could not
in the conference at Durham have IA
vored any individual for Governor. or fol
/ any other office"
