It will be seen from theabove,upon
careful analysis, that, from the Dem
ocratic standpoint, negro domination
is the exercise by the negro of his
constitutional right to vote. It is
shown by the record, that no negro
holds, or has, held, any office, county,
Stat - or Federal, in the Ninth Con
gressional District; that no negro
serves as a juror; and that few, if any
serve as members of the school com
mittees, even in negro schools ; in a
word, that tire negro does not partici
pate in public affairs in any capacity
in any part of the district, and that!
the fear of negro rule in the district
or in any couuties in the district is
absolutely imaginary, as absurd as a
nursery tale, as devoid of substance
as that great white arch in the"Liglit
of Asia," which; had "mists for its
masonry and vapory pillars." Apd
yet the campaign, was waged on al
leged negro domination. The politi
cians raised a caustless crv. and on it
based a phautdmi fear. anH with it

of the men who raised this cry was to

true, that, in the past, when there was

The keynote of the campaign was

by other speakers. The most notable

While it may be true that the con
testee did not . join in this cry with
the same ferocity as his political as
sociates, it is certain that this issue
was the operating force in the cam
paign ; and the fact is demonstrated
in a way that is absolutely conclus
ive by a comparison pf the statistics
or toe census witn ttie election re
turns. While there are comparative
ly few negroes in the district, the
census tables show that a majority
o their? are located in two counties
of the sixteen composing tne district,
and the election returns show that in
these two counties contestee received
a majority oi l.Uav votes, b3ingJ a
cnange and a net Democratic gain of
1,300 votesas compared with the pre
vious election ; and that In thb four
teen other counties, which contain
less than one-half of the negro vote

pared with the election of 1896.
; Thus the figures of the1 census.
showing the distribution of the negro
vote, and the naked returns of the
elect jon,showing the places where the
votes were chanced, amount to a
positive demonstration which no ar
gument can assail, that tne negro
question wa the issue on which the
campaign for Congress turned : and
it is perhaps due to this issue and the
fierce passions which it arouses, that
frauds, violence, lawlessness, hither
to- unknown in the district, were re
sorted to by Democratic officers of
election and by unscrupulous politi
cal partisans of contestee.
The political historian of the perir
od following the Civil War will re
cord no fact more patent and more
singular than this, that while the
Democratic party in the South has
been waging a constant and relent
less warfare against negro suffrage, i
has become the tole beneficiary of
that suffrage appropriating to itself
all the strength of the negro .vote
and oasting all its odium on the Re
publicans; that while the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth Amendments were ev
idently designed to protect the f reed-
men in their newly conferred rights.
the practical operation of these
amendments to the Constitution, un
der the aingenious and determined
management of the Democratic poll
ticians has been to give thirty-nine
Heats in the House of Representatives
and thirty-nine seats in the Electoral
College regularly to members of the

A political map of the South would
show that the Republican districts
are confined almost exclusively to
the Appalacian Mountains in East
ern Kentucky, East Tehuesseh, West
Virginia, Southwestern ViginiaJ and
Western North Carolina. In these
districts the negro vote is so small as
to be practically insignificant, and
this mountain region was about the
only part of the South which etood
out for the Union when all j the
of the conntry was engulfed in
waves of secession. In the lowlands
of the South, where the negroes most
do oongregate, the Republican party,
as an organization; has practically
died out: and if I the
present policy aDd practices continue
men of Republican faith in1 these re
gions will become as entirely extinct

An Able Defense of Them by Capt. Leather-
wood, of the Third North Carol

Editor The Citizen: In last Satur
day's issue uner the head, "Negro
Troops," you rbprinted a news I dis
patch from Washington in: your edi
torial column which said: !
"Great pressure has been brought
to bear on the administration
to organize a colored regiment for ser
vice in the Philippines. The matter is
still under consideration by Secretary
Root. ,No decision has been reached'.
but it istunderstood if such a regiment
is organized it will be officered by col
ored men." 1 j
In reference to this news item you
say: . .- .
"If this is so Root knows nothing of
the negro. We venture to predict that
if a regiment of negroes, officered by
negroes in positions above captajJns is
organized, it will not reach its destina
tion before it will be guilty of acts that
will show the Secretary of W&r his
mistake. "With white officers frojm the

why negro soldiers would not dp good

beg for space to say that I regard
the above editorial unfair and unjust
tn rnvself and race. It is biased and is
calculated to bias the minds of those
who would reioice to know that we

were capaDie oi seii-gv.vei-iiiueiij., &"-i
willing to lift ourselves above the
positions in life of that of a f'boot

and drawers of water. Many reasons
are being given for the cause of raco
conflicts, race prejudice, etc., but in
my judgment it is this class of edi
torials and the spirit in which thjey are
written that causes friction between
the races. In the first place, I would
like for you or somebody else to tell
me upon what grounds can such an
argument be justly made, Ii the
Spanish-American war over the pro
test of thousands the Third North Car
olina was organized and entirely offl
cered by negroes. We ask you or any
one opposing the organization of such
regiments to point to a single official
recorded act of the Third North Caro
lina that stands as a blot against the
regiment. I ask does the record show
that the Third because of the fact that
its officers were negroes was guilty of
rioting and committing heinoui
crimes that is not common among vol
unteer regiments? They do not show
it I say and can prove that the disci
pline and general conduct of the regi
ment was just as good as that of most
regiments that were officered by white
men and in many respects better. The
regiment" was never guilty of rioting
or joined any other regiment in creat
ing a riot. It never was guilty of de
daring mutiny as one was with which
we were brigaded and its chief! .officer
was a white man. The War Departrl
ment has made out no such records as
Is referred to in your editorial against
any of the organizations entirely offi-
cered by colored men. Then, why
predict such hideous perpetrations
should the Secretary of War decide to
'form sucti an organization to be sent
to the Philippines. Why assett that
every regiment that is officered j by ne
groes that it will take two white ones
to keen down the riots ? The past
conduct of negro soldiers under the
command of negro officers ought to be
accepted as a base upon which all as
sertions or like assertions are made
. 'Resides the Third North Carolina
there were in the service the i Eighth
Tiiinnis Twentv-third Kansas and
Ninth Ohio officers all negroes and
there never was a time when white
regiments were called to quell the riots
or suppress any insubordination. Be
fore these regiments were formed, then
it was a question as to whether or not
negro soldiers would obey negro offi
cers. It has been clearly proven by the
experiment that they will obey negro
officers just as quick If not quicker
than they will white ones. In the col
ored immune regiments the lieuten
ants were all colored, and it rs an evi
dent -fact that the enlisted men were
more obedient to the colored lleuten-
ants than they were to their white of
ficers of a higher rank. I make the as
sertion because I was brigaded with
the Seventh and Tenth immunes,
therefore know whereof I speak. I nev
er had any trotjble in having my men
to obey true, as it is In the family cir
cle,: at times there would be a little
insubordination upon the part of a few
and that would take place "on what
was called payday. Ninety per cent,
of the men were obedient and stood
opposed to riots and would not have
engaged in one. In being moved' from
place to place by rail the railroad of -.
flcials gave the Third the credit of be
and intimidation, and there has grown
ing the most orderly regiment that
they handled, but the prejudiced press
and the people who opposed the regi
ment, always misrepresented the con
duct of the organization. As for the
Eighth Illinois, it saw service in Cu
ba.. It did 'not take two white regi
ments to keep down the riots among
the men, but to the contrary read the
following dispatch from Santiago de
Cuba, dated August 16, 1898, which
says: ,'
"General Shafter today ordered the
Second volunteer regiment of immunes
to leave the city and go into camp out
side. The regiment had been placed
here as a garrison to preserve order
and protect property. There has been
firing of arms inside of the towns by
members, of the regiment, without or
ders so far as known. Some of the men
have indulged in liquor until they have
verged upon acts of license and disor
der. The inhabitants in some quans
have alleged loss -of property by force
up a feeling of uneasiness, if not
alarm concerning them. General Shat
ter has, therefore, ordered this regi
ment into the hills, wnere aiscipnn
can more severely maintained.
In place of the Second volunteer im
mune regiment General Shafter has or
dered into the city the Eighth Illinois
volunteer regiment.of colored troops in
whose sobriety and discipline he has
confidence and of wnose siuruy en
forcement of order no doubt is felt, by
those in command."
The press of this country was so
biased until leading journals absolute
ly refused to publish the last para
graph of the above dispatch. The;
Washington Post, at the nation s capi
tal, would not publish it, and had .it
not been for the" Evening Star at that
place, the citizens would have been ig
norant of the fact that a, negro (regi
ment, officered by negroes, had thus
served our country.
I could point to many instances
where white regiments pruveu w c
insubordinate, but that don't argue
that , they are unworthy of the confi
dence of that class of citizens who re
main at home with no knowledge of
the life of a soldier. If you oppose ne
gro officers oppose them justly. Don't
educate the people that we are a
riotous set of people insubordinate to
each other. The fact tnat we govern
in Our churches, schools, and other
similar organizations, ought to be ac
cepted as partial evidence at least that

President Never Leaves Home With

Military Law Death of the Cabinet
Ministers Demanded. .
New York, Aug. 29. A dispatch to
The Herald from Santo Domingo Friday
via Key West, Fla , says: The tide of
revolution ia searing the capital. The
revolutionists have crossed the moun
tains are only a few hours distant by
horse. The government Is tottering
and apparently unable to cheok the in
surrection. Yesterday it dispatched a
commission to confer with the rebel
leaders for the purpose of trying to
effect a compromise. Meanwhile there
ia great suspense. The capital may be
besieged in a fer days if the compro
mise fails. r
Among the people there ia g'rneral
alarm. The president never leaves
home night or day except with a double
guard, j The city is virtually under mil
itary law. The soldiers are patrolling
the streets. The foreign consulates are
crowded with aliens apprehensive of
disorder. j
The military oommandant of San
Cristobal was assassinated on Tuesday.
Placards demanding the death of fthe
cabinet ministers are posted nightly in
prominent places. Military prepara
tions are being rushed by the govern
ment and the reserves are nnder arms,
but the insurrection has thus far been
remarkably free from bloodshed, al
though there ore vague reports of severe
fighting in the interior.
All the telegraph lines to the interior
of the I island have been cut by the in
surrectionists and communication by
wire has been impossible for several
days, bat refugees say the revolution is
spreading.
Governor Lionas of the La Vega dis
trict has gone over to the revolutionists,
taking with him many soldiers. Some
of the Dominican gunboats put into the
river and it is rumored that the presi
dent and cabinet in case of emergency
will flee to Porto Rico. ;
If more serious trouble cornea the peo-
Jile here are looking to the United States
or protection. In case of rioting the
New Orleans and a French cruiser are
prepared to land marines to protect the
consulate.
Insurgents Attack Santiago.
New York, Aug. 29. A dispatch to
The Herald from Porto Plata says: An
attack waa made by the insurgents to
day on Santiago. The revolutionists
are gaining strength daily. Another
camp of the insurgents has been formed
outside thia city and residents are leav
ing hourly to join it. The government
has sent a committee to the revolution
ists with a proposition to suspend hos
tilities for 90 days and then proceed to
elections. Owing to ita financial straits
the government will not be able to sus
tain the present situation long. Be
sides, American intervention ia feared
in case there is much fighting.
