Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Commonwealth, Vol. 3 of 3: Public Opinion, Illustrations and Reflections, Social Institutions States, very few men of good standing belong to the Republican party, which consists of the lately enfranchised negroes, of a cer tain number of whites, seldom well regarded, who organize and use the negro vote, and who some twenty years ago were making a good thing for themselves out of it; of Federal officials, who have been put into Federal places by their friends at Washing ton, ou the understanding that they are to work for the party, and of a certain number of stray people, perhaps settlers from the North, who have not yet renounced their former afilistions. It is not easy for an educated man to remain a Republican in the South, not only because the people he meets in society are Democrats, but because the Republican party managers are apt to be black sheep.
