NEGROES CONTROL THE
 REPUBLICAN, PARTY
Facts Gathered From Federal Census Shows the G. o. P. is Control
 ed by Negro Vote.

Hon. Henry G. Davis, demo cratic candidate for yice-president, delivered an address recently t Wheeling. West Virginia, in which he gave every intelligent citizen some facts to consider as follows:
 'I give you some facts relative to the political vote in the United States. The republicans, by one act, for political purpose, gave the black man vote. This vote has kept the republicans in power most of the time since the days of Lincoln. If you eliminate the black vote. the democrats in the United States have a majority of more than LOGO, 000 voters. Ac- cording to the United States cen sus of 1900, there are more than 2.0O0, 900 black voters. The larg est majority of any republican president has been about 95o,o ,oo0 That was the majority of McKin- ley over Bryan in 1900. In the coming election the democrats would be sure to elect a president were it not for the negro vote, as you will see by the following fg- nres from the official United States census of 1900 (the vote is taken from the state elections of 1902:

G0RMAN AND TOWNE.
ShreJCd Political Game Being PIayed
by the Maryland Senator.
IFRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU

Washington, May j.-"Arthur PUe German
and Charles A. TOwne," is the latest Demo-
cratic ticket suggested i'm Washington. and
there many indications that the Maryland
politician is playing shrewd game. with a
view to securing Towne's influence with the
Bryan element of the party.
As has been already indicated in these dis
patches Mr.. German has never for a moment
believed himself out of the race for the Presi-
dency. When it appeared that Hearst was capt
uring too many delegates he cheerfuIIy suggest
ed that the party Shout for Parker in New
York. and The result was the instruction of the
New-York delegation.
When the Pennsylvania Democrats met in
convention. however Mr.. German suggested TO
his friend Guffey that the Parker movement
had gone far enough. and the result was an un-
instructed delegation from that State: nor has
any other State followed the lead of the New
York Democrats and instructed for Judge
Parker. Mr.. Hearst's efforts in the South. where
Germans greatest strength lies. have proved
frutless. much to the CONSERVATION of the
Hearst boomers. who have abandoned efforts in
that direction. and now reports reach Washing
ton to the effect that Mr.. Germans Iieutenants
active in several Southern centres Of po-
Htical activity.
Mr. GormaH's purpose, almost from the first.
according To those in position to speak with
authority. has been TO encourage a situation in
the St. Louis convention where the bitterness
between the Hearst and Parker factions would
eliminate the possibility OF either candidate
receiving two-thirds vote. Under such condi-
tions a copromise candidate would necessa-
rily be selected. and the astute Marylander sees
no reason why ne should not be the man. This
end could be attained with especial ease if the
German fighters were in a position 20 make
proposition 10 the Bryanites which would In
sure their support and the offer of the nOmina-
tion for Vice President TO TOwne seems TO pre-
sent alIuring possibilities in this direction
News has also reached Washington that Mr..
GOrman's friends doing hard work at In

will be sent there to take the treatment.
