NEGROES CONTROL THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY
Pacts Gathered From Federal Census
Shows the G. O. P. is Control
ed by Negro Vote.
Hon. Henry (r. Davis, demo
cratic candidate for \ ice-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 l nited
States. The repuhlieans, by one
act, for political purpose, gave the
black man a vote. This vote Ims
kept the republicans in power
most of the time since 11 jo days of
Lincoln. If you eliminate the
black vote, the democrats in the
Vnited States have a majority of
more than 1,000,not) voters. Ac
cording to the l nited States cen
sus of 1000. there are more than
2,000,000 black voters. The larg
est majority of any republican
president has been about 950,000.
That was the majority of McKin
ley over Bryan in 1000. In the
coming election the democrats
would be sure to elce. a president
-were it not for the negro vote, as
you will see by the following fig
ures from the official l’nited Stale
census of 100:) (the vote is taken
from the state elections <>f 1002):

Total.155, is 7 43,03o
i he census gives 2,<M>.>,j))v.) ne
groes in tin* l nited States of vot
ing age. This statement shows
plainly that there are 125,<M>*
negro votes in the seven states
named, while the republicans had
a total majority of less than 44,
<|0(* votes. Or in other words,
there are between three and four
times as many negro votes in these
states as the republican majority
in the states named in lb<>2. If
these states were added to the dem
oemtic column a democratic presi
dent would be certain of election.
It may be said the republicans
have these black votes, and what
are you going to do about it. I
answer, we will act within the
law, without violence or injustice
to any. Let the white people of
the country understand they are
ruled by the back vote added to
the republicans’, and a remed.x
may come. The white men of
tin- country pay nearly all the
taxes, and they should rule."

the few genuine means of recovery in
