the Negro from the general confusion
which followed.
This much has been said to show
that we are under no binding obliga-
ton to any particular party. The Ne
gro has now reached that degree of in
telligence when he should look about
him in an intelligent way and guard
his interest by wise participation in
the political situation.
Any people who become fixed asset
of any party, without rhyme or rea-
son, right or wrong, have indeed de-
prived themselves of the privilege of
redress of wrongs. This is a thing
that has worked much injury to the
Negro in the past. He welded him
self to the fortunes of one party, which
party failed to protect him in his po-
litical right. He should be able to see
that now and save himself from utter
disfranchisement by sensible use of
his suffrage. When one political party
Yields the scepter of authority too

good that a great party that has be-
come Indifferent to the sacred trust
that has been committed to it should
be taught lesson worth remembering.
Is it not the duty of the Negro to
help teach such lesson this coming

power? Would it not show him capa-
