The Bastrop Clarion-Appeal, one
of the best papers 10 the State, and
one that heads the list in fine writ
ten editorials, in an article headed
ga word to the Negroes should be
carefully read by them, and for the
benefit of the colored people of our
parish we publish the article for
their perusal:
Unusual activity is manifested now
among the colored voters of this par
lsh to take degree In the myster-
les of the ssRedisher's" office-as
they call the official who registers
votes. Last Saturday dozens of
'darkies, who have not voted perhaps
in dozen years, were in town anx-
ious to see the man empowered to
register voters. 1t was found upon
inquiry that all of those ANXIOUS,
sable voters had already come to the
conclusion that Pharr is the man of
their choice Tor Governor.
1t is astonishing to see how readi-
ly the illiterate negro can find out
the name of the enemy of the Dem
ocratic party. If Pharr had been a
contestant in the Democratic party
for the nomination with Foster we
doubt if two scores of negroes In
this parish would have ever heard of
him. But Pharr is now a full
fedged opponent of Foster, and
Pbarr is called Republican, and the
poor, ignorant, deluded negro has
gone into spasms over the name of
Pharr. How has he learned so
early that Pharr is Republican?
Not by any investigation made by
himself certainly. Why has the
negro been seized with such burn
ing desire to get himself in legal
shape to vote? Who urged him
thus early in the campaign to regis
ter and thereby be prepared to vote
and to vote for Pharr? Why has
he decided against Foster so en-
phatically, not knowing what man
ner of governor Foster has made?
1t is the same old story of African
anlmosity to Democracy. That is
all there Is to it. And why should
the negro forever hate the Dem
ocratlc party? What can he hope
from such senseless opposition?
What wrongs does he expect to right
by the election of Pharr and the
motely gang with whom he is In
league? 1t would be well for our
colored fellow-citizens to consider
the step they are taking against the
best friends they have in this State.
In the breasts of all true and brave
white men there still Turks the same
determination to rule this State that
inspired them to rebel against negro
domination in 1876. Brave white
men promised the negroes in 1876
that if they would go and vote with
the white people no harm should be-
fall the colored people. That prom
Use has been faithfully redeemed.
Ever since the overthrow of negro
rule in politics the white man, capa
bic of controlling public affairs, has
been the negroes best friend. The
Democratic party has been his best
friend. His children, along with
white children, reap the beneficent
privileges of good schools. And if
the negro is not satisfied and happy
under the control of the Democratic
party by the white men of this State
what can he expect from the gang
who make mp the hybrid party
which old man Pharr is trying to
lead?
For their own good and for the
good Of the whoe people we earnest

to pass law of this kind more than

The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1896-10-26

We are surprised that any opponent of
the free coinage Of silver should vote for
Prof. Handy for Congress. Any one who
cannot vote for Bryan and Sewall Ger.
tainly stultitles himself when he votes for
Handy. There may DO few men like
Senator Gray, who will not support the
Democratic electors, and yet will support
the Democratic nominee for Congress, but
we do not believe that many such charac-
tiers can be found. Prof. Handy supports
Bryan and Sewal endorses the Democrat.

the candidates and is pledged to labor to
carry out tho heresios advocated by his
party. Any man who votes for Handy, to
be consistent should vote for Bryan,
Truly, politics make strange contrasts

him. If the friends Of honest money and
the Democrats generally, who are dissat-
isiied with their party should unite and
cast their votes for Kew, Jonathan ) vii.

Handy, but there must be union OF
hearts and hands to accomplish this re-
suit.
The farmers in this county as well as
the working people Of this city have bpGh
coming to his support by scores tie past
week, and he is everywhere recognized as
the only available candidate to defeat Prof
Handy. The great mass of voters do not
see that the election Of Willis has any
thing to do with the success Of Mr. Adj
dicks, and therefore many Of tho former
opponents of the latter gentleman arc now
prepared to vote for Mr.. Willis, AZ the
only available candidate to defeat Handy.
The great mass Of Republicans do not
relish the idea Of having our State rtpIG'
sented by IN advocate Of free coinage,
free trade and free riot, and hence they do
not wish to contribute to this end by
division of their votes between Wills and
Houston in this contest. We advise all
Republicans to consult with their neigh.

shall pursue in order to make their influ'
ence felt at the polls, by acting together

Communications Of these gentlemen should
have much more influence with the voters
than the objurgntiuns Of men who go

defeat an Objectionable candidate for the

cannot swallow and have no patience with
those who uphold it.
