Oh, wo have it, ‘‘and don’t you forget it”. 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.
