THE LABOR CANDI- DATE. THE INDUSTRIAL EXHIBI- TION. THE RECORDER OF DEEDS AND HIS OPPOSERS. NEWS, &C, The Knights of Labor conven- tion, which is in session at Rich- mond, Va., up to the time of this writing has been very successful, There is one thing that should be considered by this organization and that is to eliminate all preju- fice wubb ned HOES PRI ARE We understand that there is a great deal of prejudice against colored painters, that they cannot join the Painter’s union. If Mr. Pewderly will exert his influence and demand the admission of col- ored men in all orgavizations he will be doing a worthy thing. From what the dailies say, MR, BLAINE was enthusiastically received in Pennsylvania. His canvass has been a most successful one. It is perbaps, conceded that he will be the republican nominee for the presidency in ’88. Mr. Cleveland will no doubt be nominated by his party as an endoreement of his administration. Of the two men we are of the opinion that a majority of the Negroes will sup- port Mr. Cleveland. There isa general uprisiog of independence among the colored voters in this country; they have commenced to realize the fact that it is better for them to support men and not party. This is the sentiment that we desire to see manifested among the colored voters, The 2d Bap- tist literary association has about completed arrangements to cele- brate the EMANCIPATION OF CUBAN SLAVES. Several distinguished gentlemen have been iuvited to speak and there is no doubt but that the oc- casion will be one ot the grandest in the history of the colored peo- ple. Why thereshould not beslav- ery is a question which has been solved by the abolitionists. It is a disgrace to any government and a crime to civilization. THE INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION is still in progress at Bethel hall. It is not patronized as it should be. An enterprise of this kind in any other place bat this city would be well attended and sup- ported. Dr. Watts and the other managers of the affair certainly deserve the respect and plaudits of the entire community irrespec- tive of color. Itis true that we have bad many entertainments in this city, but there bave been none that has given satisfaction equal to this exhibition. The petition that is in circulation to be present- ed to the Senate in opposition to the confirmation of RECORDER OF DEEDS, J. C. Matthews, will have but lit- tle effect. The recorder’s office has never in the history of its ex- istence been conducted as. well. The office is conducted differently now, there is some system about the place. The Senate should confirm him immediately on its assembling. Should the Senate fail to confirm him, we would suggest that the President appoint Marzhal Wilson to the office of recorder of deeds and let Mr. Matthews succeed Mr. Wilson. ‘This will be a great rebuke Ps the Senate which opposes a man simply because he isa colored democrat. MR, E, M, HEWLETT one of the talented lawyers before the District bar, who was arrested on a warrant sworn out against him by one Felix Quander, who employed him some time ago, and gave his stock as a fee has been honorably acquitted. It seems that the case of Mr, Hew- lett was concocted by a few pre- judiced Negroes and white men toruin his reputation. He is a young man who has the re- spect and confidence of the entire community and this charge against him was an attempt to persecute him. The evidence was just’ the same as it was at first, which should have acquitted him without being submitted to a jury. At any rate he has been honorably acquitted and the seal of condem- nation and rebuke placed against the demagogues who attempted to ruin his reputation. Mr. Hewlett is not the man to injure or harm any one. He isa gentleman and an honest man. The Bex tenders to him its congratulation for victory over a pusilanimous set of renegades.

Social equal- ity means miscegenation. * * * * The opposition to social equality as the avenue to miscegenation is simply the assertion of the deter- mination of the white people to keep their race pure for their own sake, and for the sake of the coun- try.—Charleston News & Courier. When! another Earthquake. In Gods name where on earth will you find a more general race mixt- ure than in the city of Charleston? Miscegenation in all that word implies has been in vague throughout the Southern States for generations, and not through any desire or attempt on the part of the Negroes of that sec- tion to force social equality, but through the base and immoral us- sages of the so-called ‘‘first famil- ies themselves, for lost and gain. Does sitting alongside ofa Negro ina public hall bring about this dreaded intercourse? Is ita cus- tom even among whites to scrape acquaintances in public places of amusement? or are not those ac- quaintances brought about through mutual consent and not by force, or legislation? There is ten fold more danger in the prevalent south- ern custom of colored mistress keeping, in raising up a mongrel class, than by respectable people assembling under the same roof in @ public place of amusement, what- ever their color may be. K. oF L. ae MEN NOT PARTIES. Prof. Jones, (colored), of St. Jo- seph, anda member ofthe city Council, in addressing a conven- tion recently, said: ‘Gentlemen, the time has come when we must cease voting for parties, and vote for men.” Weare of the opinion of Brother Jones, and feel that in no other way can we, asa Race, be felt and considered as important factors in political circles, and re- spected as citizens of our great | commonwealth.—Springfield — Tri- bune. NO DEMOCRATIC BULLDOZ- ING. * * IN THIS REPUBLICANS BREAK UP TAEIR OWN MEETING. THEY ARE CARRIED BEFORE A JUSTICE OF THE PEACE. Hampton, Va., Oct. 16th, ‘86. The little temple of Justice over which Squire Darden presides was packed with colored Republican Statesmen yesterday afternoon for aboat three hours, the occasion be- ing the trial of Jake Skinner, Sam. Simpson, Jim Taylor, and Peter Herbert, four well known colored politicians of Anti-Bowden tenden- cies, upon the charge of breaking up a meeting at Buckroe last Thursday eyening. Mr. F.S. Col- lier representod the prosecution and ex-Judge Jno. Booker the accused : these two gentlemen though mem- bers of the same political family have been at draggers drawn for many years and this fact coupled with the circumstances of the case drew agood house. R,M. Smith commissioner of the “Revenue testi- fied that he went to Buckroe by in- vitation to speak, that the crowd from Chesapeake City led by the accused came down with a drum and fife and raised such a racket that they could not carry out their intention, thatif they had beeu Democrats they could not have met with a more repulsive reception, that he tried in every way to get them to listen, even talking christi- anity to them but they were deaf to hia appeals. Witness said that if they had have carrieda crowd from Hampton with them the under- taker would have had a pretty good job the next morning; that it was a bad conducted affair and a great deal worse than the Court House meeting of last Saturday. F. S. Collier for the prosecution testified to the same effect. ‘The accused were then allowed to testify and Jake Shinner took the stand : the meeting he said was irregular, but they did not go there with the intention of raising a row; |the witness carried on quite a lengthy argument with tbe counsel | for the prosecution, the burden of which was that they were freemen Anerrand boy ina Piiladelphia finey | and bad a perfect right to do as store has just been left $500,000, but it is | they did.

Jim Taylor was even more bitter in his denunciations of the Hampton erowd, and informed this reporter that he would rather see every office turned over to the Demoerats than that they should be longer con- trolled by a d——d ring. Taylor is an old “stager,” and was conspic- uous in the polities of Norfolk city for a number of years after the war, and says in 1869 in that city he had his head broken in helping Bowden toescape from a mob. He says Bowden is a fraud. During the argument of the case Booker used the word muzzling, when .Collier turned on him and denounced him sharply for his ac- tion when Jadge during the De- zendorf independent canvass, in binding John Davis and John Ches- man over to keep the peace, in the interest of his party, charging sub- stantially that the records showed that he had prostituted his office to politics. Booker reflied that the matter had been investigated and that he had been vindicated. Collier in his argument charged that Thursday night’s work was the result of a conspiracy, and that the accused were furnished with mon- ey and whiskey by men who dared uot come out openly. Justice Darden finally bound the accused over to keep the peace, and-sent them on to the Grand Jury for indictment. There is great excitement among the negroes, and the Republican party in this see- tion at present is anything bat a happy family —Hampton Va. Moni- tor. EXTRA INDUCEMENTS!! —Go to—. ww.
