The Evansville Courier saws
that the recent race riot in the

politics. BY the importation Of
negroes Evansville was made a
Repu blican city, but after the
black voters had been used on
election day they remained in
the city and naturally became a
source of trouble. The Courier
says:
''The cause of the present reign of terror
IN this city can be directly traced to the
vitiai"n of the negro for political purposes.
Before election time the advertise n.nts ar.
sent up and down the river among the
sh'ftless negroes, stating that they can get
money for their votes Evansville The

properly ready to he used on election dav.,'
In Indiana the white people
are nearly equally divided on the
political issues and the negroes
easily hold the balance of power.
For this reason the negro vote |
is a purchasable commodity of
great value, and as the negro is
naturally Republican he is
brought to Evansville and other
Democratic strongholds to save
the g. O. p. from defeat.
The comparatively small
numb Der of negroes in Indiana
and New York can always be de- :
pended upon to cast the decid- i
