that four of the first FIVE of our

its shade in summer, as a resting

A Negro Democrat.

gives his reason for beng Democ-
rat in response to a query from an
ex-Yankee soldier. He says:
II am Democrat because want
my people to be on good terms with
the. brain, the power and the money
Nofybe South. l am Democrat be-
cause / want to meet new conditions
with new thoughts and ideas. am
a Democrat because a majority OF
the best white people of the South
are Democrats, and l believe it to
be the best interest of my humble
race to. take a bold. outspoken
stand with the whites of the South.
They run the courts, own the banks,
and control the great interests OF
the Southland. ] am with them be-
cause it is to my best interest.
am Democrat for practical pur-
poses. Lincoln, Summer and Blaine
aIAad; so is the greatRepubllcan
pay of the past. The party OF
Mark Hanna is a political machine
to make the rich richer and the
poor poorer.
~ am Democrat because go per
cent. of my race workfor the whites
of the South and believe that there
will be better feeling should both
races vote as one, because the in
terest of one is the interest Of the
other.
II am Democrat because the
Democrats of the South paid out OF
their pockets seventy-mlllions OF the
Ahty millions of money expended
for the public school education
among my race.
II am a Democrat because the DEM
ocratic party is the exponent OF the
best principles of the best govern
ment on earth; / am Democrat be-
cause believe in liberty and JUS
