The National Republican Commit.
tee should muzzle Vice.C Chairman
Payne OF Wisconsin. 1t was Payne
who fathered the effort to reduce the
representation of Southern delegates
to the National Convention before the
last session Of Congress and before the
National Republican Committee at
Philadelphia. Mr.. Payne is carrying
his idioey one step farther now by say
ing that he believes "a division of the
colored vote would be unqualifdly a
blessing for the country at large and
for the republican party" "Divide
the Negro vote, be exclaims, and you
remove the race question in the south"
This sentiment is a ghost that has
stalked in the minds of a few so.called
republican leaders for the past thirty
five years. Since the administration
of the late lamented Hays, small
wing of the republican party has kept
up a Irritation with the south with the
hope of bringing it into the republican
fold. The south remains as solid as
ever and continues its ignoble work in
disfranchislng large per cent Of its
thriving and most industrious popula.
tion. If Mr.. Payne knows anything
he should know that the colored dele.
gates from the south nominated Mr..
Mckinley four years ago and the col
ored votes of the northern states elected
him. Is there 10 be Burchard in
this campaign?

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1900.
THE IMPENDING CAMPAIGN.

In every war that has been fought
for our country-whether for its estab.
lishment as nation or its maintenance
as an independent government, the
Negro has played his part as valiant
and patriotic soldier. In the war of
the Revolution he bore hin self gal
lantly on many field of brilliant &C.
complishments he won the admira-
ton and commentator of that sturdy
warrior Andrew jackson in the strug-
gle OF 1872; and yet when our coun
try was in the throes of the great civil
war, and when again the contest was on
between the United States and Spain
the enemies of the black Americans
claimed that they possessed not the Il.
Der that makes men warriors. In all
these martial combats he gave indis-
putable proof of his courage and unds-
niable evidence of his loyalty to his
country,
And SO in every political contest in
which the Negro has played a part
since he obtained the right of manhood
suffrage, through the efforts of the Re-
publican party and against the persis.
tent protest of the Democratic party,
he has been true to the principles OF
the men who stood for his Liberation
from slavery and for his enfranchise.
ment as a citizen. And yet as he was
called upon to prove his courage in
war after war, he is asked again and
again in one political campaign after
another to demonstrate his loyalty to
that party to which he is bound with
hooks of steel-the party which has
given him every right which he pos
sesses, civil and political and made it
possible for him to take dignifed and
commemorate position in the intellec-
tual and material pursuits of his coun.
try.
In 1896 the Negro vote was almost
solid for Mckinley and HOBART, the
standard bearers of the Republican
party. In the year of our Lord 1900
it will be counted-in those places
