Some Iaterestlng Facts Coacemlng i Thf Party Which May Be YaL I ''' " aable Informatloa ' ' Special Correspondence. " Raleigh, N. C, July 7. In the course of covereaUon with some Republican leaders, yoor correapondeat has gath- red Information which wllj be of In-, - m a Vtk H-!iiaiA. . a - Aa - 4 - terest to both political parties In this State. '-North Carolina casu more Re- publloan votes than all the - other - States In "the union except iO. " No doubt this will , anrprlte most' per- sons. The Republicans find, they say, that not since' 1898" have there, been over 4,000 negro voters. There were the but there was a preremtory refusal to do this. Republican' leaders i from the west,, who have never had any affllla- tion with the negroes, declare (hat the grand-father clause was aa good a 1 thing for their party as It was for the Democratic party and that in the long run the accuracy of this statement will be shown. .Some o t them go so ,ar 88 to say that It meant emanclpa- tlon for them from the negro. I .of course there are Republicans ; here in North Carolina who would ' U J - , 1 l . 1 . . n , ue utiiKuieu 10 see izu.uuv negro vot ers again and to lead them around by the nose or otherwise like they used to do, but there Is a large element In the party; now which would not stand for fjich a thing. Leading Dem ocrats frankly say that II they were dead Bare the negro wquld be abso lutely eliminated as a, factor they wonldTbe. glad to see two pretty even- balanced political parties, like the Whigs and Democrats u&d to be and this Is what they say they expect. One-of the questions thot oomea up will be, what wlft "be the status of things when a number of negroes qua! lfy themselves as voters. Will they divide, or wllT-deslgnlng men seek to use them as they used to do. '.. It Is time now to talk about these things, on the eve of a campaign in which they have a certain bearing and per haps this statement may bring but dis cussion and throw some' Ught upon what Is realy an Important subject. For this reason It la brought up.
