THE NEGRO IN POLITICS.
Prof. Jesse Lawson DenoHnces some
ACKNOWLEDGMENT Methods.

,rba RetheI Literary and Historical AS
sociation held it's regular weekly meeting
last night at the \. NJ. +. Church' on
NJ Street. between Fifteenth and SIX
teenth Streets northwest. The meeting
was presided over by Prof. Kelly Miller
Of Howard University. who introduced
Prof Jesse Lawson, of New Jersey, the
sneaker Of the evening. Prof. Lawson
read an interesting and elaborate paper
on the Political outlook of the negro
as a citizen Of the United States. lie
said in part:
I'VE are but thirty eight years removed
from slavery and have participated IN the
political affairs Of the country for quar-
ter Of a century. We started out unoer
the most ausDiciOus circumstances We
were given the hand of fellowship py the
grand old party and our race was repre-
sented I'm State Legislatures, in congress-
in the judiciary and as State executives.
Eut things have changed. The North ana
the South have joined hands to bid the
negro farewell. we say farewell but not
forever.
Bob Toombs once said that cotton was
king. Cotton has been dethroned, and
tn. dollar is row king. And King Dollar
rules Il was the Republican party
that gave the country the fifteenth
amendment TO the Constitution for the
purpose of perpetuating itself in power
and il was the Republican party
that disfranchised the negro in the Dis
trict Of Columbia because the negroes
we're becoming too numerous and too
plentiful in the community.
THAT ast OF the Republican party
blazed the way for the disfranchisement
Of the negroes I'm Mississippi, Louisiana,
and South Carolina. Il was with the in
auguration Of Hayes that the downfall
of the negro as a political factor began.
The future Of the negro in this country
depends largely upon his own action.
Prof Lawson was greeted by a small
bat appreciative audience, and his re
marks were frequently applauded
