Tho Convention Declares that Its Mems hors Are Tired of Yoting for Such a Party. Colored Men’s State Convention at . Chillicothe, Ohio. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tridune, Crmuricorn, 0., Aug. 22,—At tho State Con- vontion of colored men hero to-day, Mr. Potor H. Clarko, of Cincinnatl, tho most prominont colored politician in Ohio, made the following spoooh: ‘I desiro to stato at tho outset, that in what I havo done, or in what I shall say in connection with thia Convention, I do not profess to represent anybody but mysolf, 1 do not profess to control any voto'but my own. I mako this statoemont for tho bonofit of those who profess to bo unensy as to my pure poso,—thoso snxious gontlomen who assort that I am solling tho colored vote to the Domocratle party. I simplycamo horo to- duy to oxercise ono of my righta as an American citizon, Being dissntisfled with tho treatment ac- corded to colored men in this Btato, both by the Btateand nationalauthoritics, and focling that the managorsof tho Republican partydonot accord to colored men that amount of consideration duo thom aa mombers of tho same great political organization, I am froo to oxpress l‘;mz dis~ satisfaction. Furthor, I propose to namo the things which givo rise to that dissatisfaction, and to urge the men of this and othor audionces which I may address to unite with mo in protesting against the wrongs inflicted on us, and to use sitch moans a8 lio in our power for correcting the ovil. There is muoh talk, too, of ingratitude to the Ropublican _party, which we, who proposo an indo}mnduut course of action, are ssid to Do mauifosting. Wo deny that any foundation for the ehargo exists. That the polioy of that party in the past hes inured to our bonofit, we cheerfully acknowledge ; that through the work- ings of that parly we sro free and portially enfranchised; but we dony that theso things were dono from any original fmpulse prompting them to benofit us, Thoy were merely tho stops nceded to carry out tho gront contral purpose of tho party, tho pros- orvation of the Union. Nor do theso things bind us to vote with it until overy whito mombor ghall have obtained an office, ~ Abraham Lincoln, whose momory wo all revere, declared that if byimain- taining slavery ho could preserve the Union,then ho would maintain slavery, aud he fairly ox- proased tho motive of tho party of which he was tho illustrious head. ~ Abrsham Lincoln jssued his famous Proclamation of Emane cipation,® basing i, o6 ho declared in tho document itdelf, upon military nocessity. I do not recall this to arouse any jli-focling in tho broasts of colored men againat thoir white fol- low-citizens. 1In asking for justice, I also advo- cate poaco. put them forward as an answer to tho sontimontal whine which declares the colorod people lacking in qmumda it thoy refuso to vote with tho Republican party. 1 am gorry that the motive which prompted the gift of freodom had not more of kindly feel~ ing toward tho negro in it ; but, baving the gift, and cherishing it highly, I am propared, with Froderick Douglaas, to welcome the bolt, whethior from heaven or from hell, that shattored the accursed institu- tion of slayery. In this spirit, I tako it, the true frionds of the colored man gave him the power to voto, Our firet duty is to voto so 88 to preserve the intogrity of the National com{:ncb, to keop the iuwnl of froedom in tho American family., %o preserve avd en- largo our own privileges, wo should cast our voles for the Ropublican party so lunF as it con- tinuos in_the lino of progression followed sinco 1856. When it departs from tbat line, it Is not only our right, but our dm;, to_vote against it. The platform adopted al Philadolphin, in 1872, declaros that comploto liborty and oxact oqualls ty in tho enjoymont of all ‘civil, political, and public rights~ shall bo established and offectually maintaivod throughout tho Union by efticlent and appropriate Btate and Foderal legislation. Noither the law nor its administration” should admit of any dis- crimination in respect of citizens by reagon of race, creed, color, or provious condition of sor- vitudo. The rocont omondmonts to tho National ~ Constitution should be cor- dinlly sustainod, bocauso thoy are right; not © morely ~ tolorated bocause _ they are law, and should bo carried out according to their spirit by ufpmprhh logislation. In those paragraphs ato found an admirable statoment of our demands, and if thoy be carried out in good faith, then we havo nocauseof complaint, RMoro than & yoar bas elapsed sinco tho sdoption of this platform, and it has been indorsed by an immenso majority of the people. Every dopartmont of tho Fedoral Governmont is in tho houds of tho Republicans,—Prosidont, Congross, and all,—yot tho colored pao- plo of the United Btatos aro daily subjeoted to tho most dlngrant viola- tions of thoir xlq,hlu — violations _which would be provented ytfw appropriate logisla- tion spoken of in the second paragraph of tho platform. Daily, on steambonts, railroads, and &t publio bousos, tho sccommodations grantod to rospoctably-drossed and acting whilo men are domiod to us beoaues of our color, lowever respootably we may not or dross, In the atowal of officos by the Foderal autharitics in sll the Northwest colored men ara ignored, and, with one oxcoption, no colored man has recoived an appointmont toan office, Make a tour with me of the Btato of Olio, visiting the_ towns and countios- controlled by tho Republican party. You will fiud milos of road and stroot-making aud ra{mlrlng, miles of sewors boing made and pipes being laid, sores of bridges being built, yol in all this work thore is no room for tho colored laborer. Excopt in Toledo, thore are no po- licewen, nor have there beon any. No coloyed mau has attained to tho dignity of a Doputy Bherift, Deputy Auditor, Dopufy Re- corder, or Deputy Clork. In Ilamilton County wo had oue youug omployed in the Bheriff's ofico who was ranked and payed a8 & janitor, but assigned to duty as »__ Deputy. In Greon Count; 3 white mun desiring the nomination for Sheriff wus dofeated in a Ropublican convention so #oon aa it was kuown thut he had promised a deputy's position toa {nung colored man who waa overy way competont to fill tho office. Visit our 'Btato-Hlouse and inspoct every office in tho huildiog, that.. of Goyornon Bowrolary, ‘Tronsurer, ono doen tho shadow of & colored clerk fall upon tho sgovoral whito walle, , Tho einglo thing to romind you of ' tho colorad man is the printed llo hanging in tho rotunda, whore tho only frightonod porson in tho bont' with Porry,is s colorod sailor. Meantimo our youngmon‘bv B0Ores aro coming upon the atago of notion. Our common sohiools, such aa thoy aro, have fitted thom for positions such as I have nnmed. They are not surprised when they find thomsolves refused places in stores, in rallroad, tolograph, and nowspapor offices. Tho bughear of ‘social oqual- ity is suffiofont to acconnt for that, DBut whon thoy turn to the offices of tho Stato, they have the right to oxpoct and to domand tho samo consldoration that is accorded to young white mon. This uniform oxcluslon from positions of profit and honor is not nccidontal ; it ociginates overywhoro from the samo source ; and tho fooling of mru]udlou which Jm:dueca it must bo combatod by every colorad man who is not ontirely lost to solf-ros- poct, Iam nsked, Will you ronder yourself ri- diculous by entoring_on a contest merely for ofico? I will do =~ #o whon that denial of office implies, aa it undoubtcdly doog, o donial of my oqunlity as a citizen, I am Commissionor, and so on, and lmwt' told that many good white mon got no office, True, but many good white mou do got oflico, but © no pgood colored man is over oloctod * or sppointed to an official position. I have ‘no doubt but that tho office-ucokors among colored mon will bo like white office- sookers, ‘actuated by s sollish motive mainly, but to the mass of- us, who can never bo oflice- holdors, the value of the thing is found in tho recognition of our equnl citizenship, the assurance that tho last stronghold of slnvery has fallon, tho guaranteo of future iflmo ond un- molosted liborty. It ie'too Iato in tho century to- advance tho iden that this ia a whito man's coun- try and govornmont. Porhaps it is the party monagers who can find no room on thoir lists of officers for colored mon, and it is the party mansgers, and not the ‘{vmy tsolf,who aro to blame in the matter, and contond that a rule of exclusion shall bo adopted by which: no colored mnn shall be elected or appointed to office+ in tho whito States. Of courso, then, mno: whito mon should bo olocted or appointod to' offico in tho black States. Wo aro told wo must whit awhilo bofore we can realizo our desires in* tho mattor of which wo complain. How long will thoss gentlemen lave mus tor wait? Until their projudico . subside or thoir greod of offico is satisfled? But whal authority have thoy to sot up thoir projudicos | or solfleh dosires as & bar tomy righta? How much mannlnf,’ do thoy attach to tho pnm[r'fllphw" from tho Dhilndolphin plntform which L have quoted? We are urged to powaro lest, in our offorts to ‘obtain power, Wo throw the Republican party into a minority, bring the Democratic party into power, and g0 | loso what we bnve nlroady gained. Thero is but Iittle dun;;ur of this. Moro than two-thirds of oach Houso of Congress is Republican, Moro than two-thirds of the States aro under the control of Ropub- licans, and, oven if Benator Thurman should. chancato be his own successor, tho nation would still bo in tho hands of the samo party. This is our time to moke complaint,—to present our claims for redress. Our party is all-poworful in the Govornment, and it noed have no foar of 1osing control, if it dooa tho things wo ask for, The platform upon which it triumphed pledgod: ft to that vory course. Wo now ask it to carry out that platform in lotter and spirt. If the {mrty ‘manngers refuse to permit this to bo done, hon uso your ballot to onforce your claims. Do not hositate to vote against thoso men who bave orowdod into tho Ropublican ranks under falgo protenses, and, where you can dofeat thom, do it. It Is botter that tho causo shall live than that thoy shall have offico. At any rato, do not Tot any weak talk abont boing iruc to the party induce you to vate for:such men, and thus be 1algo to yourself.” - « [70 the Assoctated Press,] OmNcrwnazr, Aug. 22.—A Btate Convontion of colorad men organized at Clucinnati, 0., to-dny, with the following officors: Prasident, John Booker, of Columbus ; Vice-Prosidonts, George Fiolds, of Tolodo ; John Miner, of Portamouti; Goorgo Jonos, of "Gallipolis ; E.
