WHERE THE TROUBLE LIES.

We print elsewhere In this issue q
communication from Ollie woolford,
in which he sets forth the protest OF
the Negro against being denied the
privilege Of fun and fair opportunity
which is supposed TO be guaranteed
him by the law. 1t is altogether
probable he voices the sentiments of
n large majority OF his fellows.
Mr.. woolford is colored resident
Of Seaford. In Sussex county. where
he has established successful bust
ness and as a citizen enjoys the re-
spect OF the community In general.
He is. therefore. qualified to speak
with some authority on the subject
he considers in his letter.
But he and other intelligent. aspir-
ing Negroes should know the source
OF the trouble OF which they justly
complain. I, Is political, or rather, par
tisan. II Is largely due TO the fact
that the Negro as a voter is devoid OF
independence, and gives his vote TO
one political party, IN response 10 sem
ument, not reason. AZ a voter he 4.
owned entirely by one party. And that
party, confident At AL times in his
loyalty as voter, treats him as a
chattel, the Same as he was before
emancipation.
The trouble with the Negroes, here
in Delaware AZ least, is that they
show no manifestations OF independ-
ence at the right time. They voice
their protests IN advance OF election
campaigns. not during their progress
And on election day they vote solidly
as usual. Therefore, their occasional
indulgence In protest only amuses ths
! tstPNtstcdA POI y idAd6ets. 4IEta
know where they VIII md the Negro
on election day, and therefore d.
not hesitate TO treat him with con
.umeiy on ell other days.
We DO not say the political condi
ton OF the Negro would be material,
changed merely by him transferring
his vote TO the Democratic party. Tn
latter party has no occasion 10 regar,
him with high favor. But IL he woul,
become an intelligent. thoughtful
voter. one who voted from serious con
sideration and full conviction, instea
Of as a party chattel. he would ris
in his own estimation. and In tn
esteem OF people generally.
But as long as he voluntarily re
mains in political slavery. his situa
ton In other respects will remain un
changed.
