about the negroes in the South being excluded frog voting at primaries or elections
by poll taxes and other methods ani prevented in various ways from being elected
to office, Now, let us see what they propose doing in the projected Negro Republic

which concerned exclusively the Negroce and did mt z

nincrity in the entire territory, of ths administratively

govermental, Legialative am judicial authority,”
