THE NEGRO QUESTION.


The negro. in every aspect OF his politi-
cal existence. has been the hane OF the
Republican party. He focks by the hun
dred to national conventions, where he
exaets the most distinguished eonsidera-
tion, and where he invariably offers him
self and is bought, sold and delivered
in job lots to suit the means and con-
venience OF purchasers in behalf Of can
didates who have money. or course,
at these conventions, being Republican
gatherings. his vote is always counted.
and he exercises as much individual SUI
frage influence In the selection Of candi-
dates as any white man in the party.
AS result OF this condition. it not IN
frequently happens that the candidate
nominated Is one who is not wanted or
deemed. for impersonal reasons. eSpedi-
ent by a majority OF the white delegates.
II was thus with Harrison at Mime
apolis; who. while almost as great ana
quite as good man as ever fllled the
presidential chair. was, owing to peculiar
A1NNACAc AAoA1 III A~AAASSN IA AAAG ~ EGt
theisss, opposed by nearly two-thirds OF
the white delegates in the convention.
Yet Mr.. Harrison was renouainated. and
II violates no secret now to say his nomi-
nation was directly due to the use OF
money-without his concurrence. OF
course-among Southern negro delegates
by federal Office holders who knew that
their only hope Of retaining their posi-
tons lay in their chiefs repomination.
The result. as every politician knows,
was the election OF Mr.. Cleveland and a
Democratic congress, with the immedi-
ate Inauguration OF the most ruinous
business and Industrial era ever expert
enced in the history OF the country. These
same mercenary and ungrateful negroes,
after thus throwing down and Fastening
the mortal end OF their great benefaetor,
Blaine. returned to the South and SOLD
cut again, or allowed their votes to be
counted. which is the same thing, for
Cleveland electors and free trade con-
gressmen.
II will be so again, at and after the
convention in St Louis. 1t is noto-
rious fact that many Of the negroes who
are on their way TO the St. Louis meeting
and who may be there used to thwart
the patriotic plans Of the best leaders OF
the Republican party. carried torches in
Democratic free trade professions four
years ago. ard the votes Of every moth
er's son OF them were then and will be
again counted this fan for Democratic
or Populist free silver candidates.
Something must be done TO rid the |
great Republican party OF this nuisance
and embarrassment. The negro votes
count nothing for US, while our supposed
affiliation with them aiienates the support |
Of thousands OF Southern white men who /
are naturally inclined to believe in the
principles and support the candidates OF
our party. Like sinbad's old man OF
the sea, we have got the negro fastened
upon US, and while laboring under the
odium and burden Of carrying him the
Democrats receive all the political bene-
fits resulting from his numerical strength
and the mistake OF his enfranchlsement.
