THE PROBABILITY OF BLAINE BE- ING THE CANDIDATE IN ’88. BLAINE AND CLEVELAND, LOGAN, SHERMAN, &c. There is as much difference be- tween northern and southern demi- ocrats as there is between black and white republicans. All the in- jury that has been dore the nation has been instigated in the south by the southern democracy, which has worked to the detriment of the democratic party. It is about time for that element of the democracy to come to a halt. We don’t mean to say thatthe entire southern democracy is guilty of the crimes that have been perpetrated against the Negro. ‘ There are some good men in the} Senate from the south who are well disposed toward the colored peo- ple in the south. We don’t want auy better frieud to the colored people in the Senate than Hon. Joseph Brown of Ga. The THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES point to the re-nomination of Mr. Blaine and President Cleveland. There is only one way to elect Mr. Blaine. 1st. He must make terme with Mr. Conkling and the stalwarts of the country. 2ud. He must show that he will be president of the whole people. It Mr. Blaine fails to get the repub hean nomination aud Mr. Logan or Mr. Sherman does there is no doubt that either would be elected. Mr. Sherman is an hovest man and one in whom the nation can confide. General Logan would make a guod president. He isa man on whom all elements will caneentrata ovations that GEN, LOGAN is meeting with demonstrates his popularity with the masses. No stronger man could head the repub- lican ticket in 883 than Mr. Logan. THE ANARCHISTS in Chicago have been convicted. Notwithstanding the threats that were made against the jury that tried them, a verdict of guilty was brought in against them. The Kuightsof Labor are not identitied with these revolutionists. THE COLORED PEOPLE must learn how to act. They must throw away party fora while and support men and measures that will acrue to their benefit. Our the race and now the time bas come for the Negro to act. It bas been said that our party leaders have not demanded from republican presidents what they should have.

Again you are called upon on the eve of another Congressional election and campaign, to assert your rights and privileges as Amer- ican citizens. It is important to our political interests that we as- sert our independence, and to no longer be willing dupes of the Re publican party. The Radical mem- bers are again clamoriog for our votes to put them in power, that they may have a renewal of license to break their solemn pledges made to us in the adoption of every plat- form, state and national, since 1864. Let us not be deceived by their promises, but cast our votes with the honest men ofthe Demo- cratic party, who has made cor- ruption and fraud tremble and fear by the stern hand of justice. We should feel that our best hopes can be realized through the divis- ion of our votes, and we should without delay organize ourselves into campaign clubs iu every town, city and county and congressional district, aud use every means in our power that is honorable to keep a democratic majurity in the lower house of Cougress. ‘The broken promises of the Republican party, when they bad full coutrol of this Government should warn us never again to trust the party that has so often deceived our race. With such patriotic leaders as McDonald, of Ind., Barbour, of Va., Kenua, of W. Va., Morgan of Ali., Daniels, of Va., McMillin, ot Te:n., Hamp- ton, 8. C.. Mithell, ot Coun., Lov- ering of Mass., Randall, of Pa., Maxey, ot Texas, Flower, of N.

Let us prepare to rally to the party who we believe means fair and honest by all men through- out the country, and as a convine- ing fact of the sincerity of the Pres- ident and party, nominated a color- ed man for Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, and oth- er prominent places.

GREAT EXCITEMENT IN WEST END. In the West End of the city there is a popular drug sture. The proprietor of the store is a geutles man of reputation and character, who has in his employment aclerk who is well known to the boys of West End. This clerk has been infatuated with a lady for some time and how to gain her sffec- tions he did not know, When ever the lady would come in the store this clerk always had some thing to say against her b an, which operated to his detriment A few days ayo the young mau, who is employed in the Pust Of. fice departmen’, went to th’s store to get a prescription filled to cure bh m of bis sicknes-; not presum- lug for a moment that the c'erk lady that he intended to make his wift; the medic’ne was put up and iw a few days the lady called or was passing the store, when she was halted by the drug clerk and informed that her beau was sick &, The lady meeting her intended a few evenings ago, informed Lim what had been told to her. This news exasperated the young man, who went hunt ing for the drag cle:k, but could not find bim. ‘The young man of the Post Office declared that he meaus to kl him, the first op- portunity he has, He also said that be wiil have nothing more to do with the lady, to whom he is engaged, if she allowed ths clerk to talk to her, as he cid. The young laiies in the West End know al about it, which has caus- ed aCamp Fire in that section There is great excitement in that section of the city. —— rs WHAT COLORED EDITORS The Atlanta Constitution gives President Cleveland tue broad hint that if he expects re-election he mu-t fight Mexico or in some way extend our territory.

We were noticing the political electric clouds for the Jast five or six mouths, and the nearer they approach centre, the more they are agitated. The two great parties CHASE—FORTUNE. We were nut present at the Press Convention, but we suppose the most interesting feature was to see W. Calvin Chase Fortune away from the presidency.— Springfield, Tribune. JUST WHAT WE NEED. The Republican party needs a man for ’88, a man who will not only respec: the rights of the Afro-Americans, but will see that he is protected in exercising his inalienab'e righ!s in all’ quarters of ovr common country.—Laneet. oo ——_ + CORRECT. The Colored Press Association which met a short time ago at Atlantic City, marks a long stride in the progress of the colored race of this country. Those foolish in- dividuals, who howl at and run down this organization, deserve the honest condemnation of every thinking colored man,—Spokes- man. AN ABLE MAN, In his able speech at the Color- ed Piess Convention, Mr. K. 8. Smith, of Florida, spoke of the suffering of the colored people in his State, and even where they had made a con tract, at the end of the year the white man got the corn, and the negro took the tract—Southern Leader. A GOOD ACT. The re-appointment of Mat- thew: as Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, was a very part of the President.“ ‘The negro will never enjoy his full rights as a common citizen untii both parties give bim substantial official recog- nition.— Southern Leader, GOOD ADVICE. Perhaps the most important act of the Colored Press Associa- tion, which convened last week at Atlantic City, was the adoption of the resolution urging migration of colored people from the South to the West. The resolution was a strong, lucid statement of an un- disputed fact, concluding with a well-timed recommendation to to those who are oppressed, to seck better privileges in the West. We do not wish to see an indis- criminate and senseless migration of colored people, but, with the members of the Press Association, we are inclined to think that many colored people could leave the South and benefit both them- SAY. selves and those who are left at bome. ‘ PEACE. Political migrations are not here anticipated nor encouraged. We do not want to see colored colonies sent to any State to help swell any perty’s power. The colored people have had enough of such work. They have played the “cat’s paw” for too many designing politicians already. ‘They have been turned against their natural frievds by political sychophants who, having used them until every atom ot power was exhausted, then left toem. These “bleeders” of the political household have done the colored people incalculable barm. Let us hope that they have at last Republican and Dem. crat, are} situated to day as they never were before, since they had formation. ‘The Democrats have cuntrol of the lified their accursed spell from the | tvo confiding race, and will hence | forth give it a chance to make an | honest and inspiring growth.
