It will not be denied by those who are well informed that if the colored men that voted for him in that State at that time had voted against him, he would have lost the State and, with it, the Presidency.

Therefore, the Garfield-Arthur administration represented "Negro Domination." Again, in 1884, Mr.Cleveland, the Democratic candidate, carried the doubtful but very important State of New York by the narrow margin of 1,147 plurality, which resulted in his election.

It cannot and will not be denied that even at that early date the number of colored men that voted for Mr.Cleveland was far in excess of the plurality by which he carried the State.

Mr.Cleveland's first administration, therefore, represented "Negro Domination." Mr.Cleveland did not hesitate to admit and appreciate the fact that colored men contributed largely to his success, hence he did not fail to give that element of his party appropriate and satisfactory official recognition.
Again, in 1888, General Harrison, the Republican Presidential candidate, carried the State of New York by a plurality of about 20,000, which resulted in his election, which he would have lost but for the votes of the colored men in that State.

Therefore, Harrison's administration represented "Negro Domination." The same is true of important elections in a number of States, districts and counties in which the colored vote proved to be potential and decisive.
