Won with the Negro Votes.

For the benefit of the Republican papers in Indiana that have been trying to show that Harrison was not nominated by the negro delegates of the south, the following extract from The Freeman, the organ of the negro race in Indiana, is reproduced. The Freeman is published at Indianapolis by Barber Knox who was a delegate-at-large from Indiana to the Minneapolis convention. As Mr. Knox is a prominent colored man and was at Minneapolis in the interest of Harrison there is no doubt that what he says in his own paper is true. Here is what the Freeman in a recent issue said: From some figures as to toe attendance at the Minneapolis convention, it is ascertained that there were 120 colored delegates at the convention at Minneapolis. These voted almost solidly for Harrison, and it is seen that he ■ owes to their loyalty his reaomination. They refused steadily to be bought over to the standard of any other candidate, and stood firmly for the chief executive. Such action can not fail to reward, and President Harrison in the event of his re-election, must not fail of reward these men whose conduct was noble and above suspicion. Without their votes he would not have been selected, and considering the question in this light we can see just what power the colored delegates poaaaaaed. They controlled things and

wSJj £s££* SJwKdwSiS!* Senator Walcott, of OotoraAe, got ap io the Minneapolis convention and exhibited a liet of 142 delegates which ho denounced as officeholders. As no one denied the statement, Walcott was no doubt accurate. Adding these 142 office holders to the 120 negroes we have 262 delegatee, which if subtracted from 499, the number of votes nsosssary to nominate, leaves 287 Harrison delegates out of 999 whioh the convention contained. This shows exclusively that without the negro delegates of the sooth and the office holders of the north, Mr. Harrison would have received only 22 per cent, of the votes of the convention.

The protection crowd try to maka the public believe that a high tariff can do wonders. It is claimed that protection increases wages and at the same time lessens the cost of the manufactured article to the consumer. In other words, the greater the cost of production the less the cost to the consumer—a thing impossible and not in accordance with the facts.—Mancie Herald. The protective tariff guns which were fired at Homestead, were heard all over the United States. The sound will continue to reverberate until the Bth of November. After the noise of this great conflict passes away, the slain and crippled Republican ‘office seekers will be found to exceed the slain of the Battle of the Wilderness.—Columbus Herald. The lockout of Carnegie Sc Company, may be a scheme whereby they may attempt to control the labor vote by waiting some time and then concede their demands and conditions that they help elect the ticket of the robber party.— Decatur Democrat.
