It is just such acts as that
by the “rule or ruin” Bour-

from advancement and im-

years, and it is time the laws

a stop to it. It is the more
unfortunate just at this time,
because Mr. Harrison has

white people of the south were
divided politically as they
were in the days of the whig
paity I think, on the whole,
it would be better. If the
whites were divided you can
rely upon it that the negroes
would also divide. The ne-
groes are finding their way to
the democratic party where-
ever they find the whites di-
vided in sentiment. As an
example, take this couaty
and Brazoria. In Brazorio
there are no white republi-
cans, and in consequence
neither are there any negro
democrats. In this county
there are a good many white
republicans, and there are
also a good many negro demo-
crats. I feel quite certain
that political parties in the
south can not be maintained
on the race line. You will
find negroes becoming demo-
crats to get up steam again on
