DEMOCRATIC NEGRO RECORD.

Presidents attempt to force So
cial equality between the races,
by setting the example himself,
and because President Roosevelt
saw fit to lunch with Booker
Washington as his guest, the
Democratic press would make it
appear as if the Republican par
ty is the only one that would
tolerate such a thing as giving
equal rights to the negro race.
We well remember when Grover
Cleveland entertained the mul-
lato queen from Hawaii, and his
receiving Fred Dougloss at his
State functions. We also re-
member Grover Cleveland's ap-
pointment of a negro to the office
of Register of Deeds for the Dis
trict of Columbia: the frstnegro
he appointed was turned down
by the Senate, and our Demo
cratic president was so deter
mined that this important office
should be filed by a negro, ne
appointed another as soon as
Congress adjourned. We there,
fore see that a Democratic presi-
dent as well a Republican, enter
tanned negroes at the white
house, and also appointed ne,
groes to Office.
We ran across a curiosity re-
Gently, which may be interesting
historical reading, it covers such
long period of the Democratic
party's negro record that we
herewith reproduce it:

Sun
Our readers will see from the
above that the Democratic party
is the white mans party in the
South only. In South Carolina
we have strickly a white mans
party, where we have admitted
all shades of political creed tx
vote, and so far, we have gotter
along swimmingly. There is az
element however, who are be
ginning to see, that this agreea
bic state of things must not con
tinue, else their political job:
will be ieopardized, and to breal
into the peoples contentmen
they purpose to resort to timble
rigging in order that those wh(
are disposed to think for them
selves and will not hold theil
necks for the politicians halter
must be driven out of the party
ranks. Prejudice is the mai1
lever upon which they depend t
accomplish their purpose; wher
the Booker Washington inciden'
occurred they took it as a swee'
morsel to roll under their ton
CUES, and used it for all it was
worth to make the people believe
that the Republicans are trying
to foist the negro upon US anc
called upon US to rally around
the Democratic flag. But if the
clipping from New York Sun,
paper which has for its motto
:twhen you see it in The Sun i
is so'' is true, then it makes little
difference to US who is in power
at Washington-Democrats o.
Republicans, they are bot}
smoothing the fur the negroe:
