Election figures show that the
Republican party would have been
in a slim minority but for the col
ored vote of tli". northern states.
In New York, which gave Harrison
14,573 plurality,,thorn jire 20,059
t- lor d male; ;,in, Indiana, which
gave 2,348 plurality, there are 10,-
739 colored voters; in Ohio, which
gave him’ 19,599 |pluralily, r £there
are 31, 706 negro voters; and in
nevada,’which gave him 1.830 plu
rality, there .are 5,022 colored vot
ers. The, Re j üblicans claim that
they have nine-tenths oC the col
ored vote, and if so, the [majority
of the whites ’in all these
states voted for Cleveland,
Of course the negros of the north
are entitled to vote for/whichever
party they prefer: but the fact
that the Republicans/of that sec
i ion owe their success to the no,fro
vote is rather damaging to their
claim that theirs is the party of
superior intoligonce.
We used forbear a good deal of
complaint by northern’republicans
that the southern states did not
punish the’-ku-klux for their law
less acts. It now appearsjfrom the
statement of Gov. Foraker that
he knows all the ku-klux or white
caps in Ohio, and that some ap
peared before him and made con
fessions and disclosures. Yet* we
hear nothing said about an inten
tion to punish ortproseeute any of
them.
