THE NEGRO AND POLITICS.

The recent elimination of the
negro vote from the politics OF
several southern states opens up
a question of more than ordinary
interest; and in Alabama and
North Carolina people are al
ready specializing upon the for
nation of a white republican
political organization, says the
Daily Capital.
In both these states negroes
have been barred out of repub-
lican conventions, and the num-
Der of colored delegates in the
next national convention of the
party is for this reason likely to
be much less than usual. This
condition of affairs is, of course,
bitterly resented by that class
of negroes who have with more
or less success been dabbling in
politics, and who now see their
chances of securing Office be-
coming beautifully less; bat no.
body else is likely to find much
food for regret in the enforced
retirement of these colored pc.
litical grafters,
Some Of those who have eX.
pressed themselves on the pros
poets for a white republican par
ty in the states in question have
declared that there is very lit
tie, if any, chance Of any such
being formed. 9th
ers, equally far seeing and re-
liable, think otherwise; and
among those who take this view
OF the situation Is the SaVdn-
nah News, which in a recent
editorial says;
Much will depend upon the
positions of the democratic and
republican parties on national
issues. A question is likely to
arise at any time on which the
people of the south will divide.
The race question has held them
together and still holds them,
but where that question has been
practically settled, so far as pol.
itics is concerned, there is pretty
certain to be republican party
of considerable proportions"
