COMMISSIONER WEBB ENTERTAINS THE PRESIDENT. A COLORED INDUS- TRIAL SCHOOL, THE NEXT DISTRICT f; REPUBLICAN CONVENTIVN. TH POLITICIANS AT WORK, SHOUL! MISS DAVIS BE CONDEMNED FOR THE ACTS OF HER FATHER? | Our distinguished commissioner Overecoats at Jess than you would have to.pay for the guests at.his residence last. week. a; | The affair was the first of the kind that ever bappened in the city by $4, Suits that sold for $12 to $20 at less any ofour commissioners. Generally WE PAINTED THE CITY WET. our District Commissioner never feel it incumbent upon them to ex- Boys’ suits $5 to $10; Children’s Suits $2.50 to $6, and Over- | tend the hospitalities of their house- |¢ hold to the executive of the nation. Mr. Webb being one of those high-toned gentlemen and a man who is universally loved by all spared no pains to have a novel set- up to our chief executive. THE COMMISSIONERS are about to establish an industrial school for colored children. This is a commenable act on the part of the commissioners and something | which is greatly needed among the people of color. There is a move- | ment on foot among the POLITICIANS to control the next District Conven- tion for Mr. Blaine. The next re- publican Convention in this city will no doubt bea good one. From present indications we predict two sets of delegates to the next repub- liean convention. Tie contest will be between Logan and Blaine. Senator Logan is stronger in the city than Blaine and while the peo- ple have no vote and are given this privilege to elect delegates to con- ventions, we are of the opinion that if it isleft to the voters Mr. Logan will have a majority in the next republican convention. There has been a great deal of unfair criticism agaiust the child ;of the SOUTHERN C Miss Winnie Davis, because she had been inyited as oneof the guest to receive the president and others who visited Richmond last | month. Admitting that Miss Davis is the daughter of Jefferson Davis who conspired to over-throw the Union, should his daughter be held responsible? If Miss Davis had been old enough to have been taken in the confidence and coun- sels of the confederacy and aided the rebeis in ther conspiracy, there would be sufficient cause tor NFEDERACY fact both O‘Hara and Abbott ve been elected to remain at home. The action of the republicans in District reminds us of a lot of issatisfied school boys. “If I n’t you shan.” Mr. Smalls of vurse was defeated. It is said t he was a bolter(?)also.

Not desiring to offend thom. we come to the con-lusion to give them just what they desire. Alter completing our work we calle at the office of the PHILADELPHIA SENTINEL and met tl eirrepress ble Gardner, Jones and Sill. Gardner was, of course surprised to see us. bro ther Gaidner not of the Lime Kiln fame, related his trials and tribulations, We regretted to learn that he had tw» hb 1 suits on hand, but be didn’t care worth acent. Brother Jones ina phil osophical manner gave us_ his this unjust criticism that is going the rounds of the press. If the daughters of Mahone, Longs'reet and others had | been invited also as the guests of |Governor Lee at the time Miss Davis was, would there bave been any thing said? We wou'd have | the same right to say that Jeffer- {son Davis’ body servant is «equally | responsible for the acts of his mas- | ter. | Those confederates who have | joined the republican party are Y as Saints, while those who m allegiance to the demo- rati¢ party are condemned. in our {opinion oue is just as good as the | other and as faras parties are con- |} cerned itis to the interest of the | colored voter to devide. Seme of our contemporaries seem |to have a wrong idea of our posi- | tion. Weare no democrat but an | American citizen. We believe in | the principles of all parties so long as those principles are in accord j with sight and justice. So far as | the colored voter is concerned he }has become to learn something.

Mr. Blaine should have made ‘the speeches that he made during the late campaign, last year. He has become to realize the fact that he bas made a mistake now that the 24 North Carolina District bas been wou by the dem. crats, we suppose now that the republicans are SATISFIED? We have no knowledge of knowing who the bolter in that district is, O‘Hara or Abbott. As a matter views on the political outlook in the state. He supported the pro- hibition ticket from principles aud thought that it was time for the Negro to act. After remaining sometime we left in search of the TRIBUNE office. Ourold friend Chris Per- ry. On entering the office we met Andrew F. Slade of Wash ington. Andrew is well known inthe ciy of Washington. He is from one of the best families, and a msn who has a good heart and a mild disposition who did all in power to make our visit pleas- ant. An/lrew accompanied us to the depot about s'x o’clock in sear. h of our foreman, whom we left behind, The roin and snow were fulling tast; and not finding him there we left for 1234 Pine street, Mr. P. Price’s where we met Chiis Perry. Mr. Price keeps one of the best houses in the city. He is gentlemanly in his deportment and a man who is held in p pular favor by all. Our visit to the Quay club wes jleas ant. ‘his club is one of the strongest political organizations in the city. I's departments are fitted up in good taste and its managers are mea of ability and nerve. The next place was the TUESDAY NIGHT OLUB at 407 south 10th st. We met one of the Negro southern blonds. It wus ascertained at this place that Chris was one of the most popular men inthe city. Every body knows him and he knows evetybody, The Tuesday night club is conducted upon a high- toned order. One of the managers is Mr. Jack-on formerly of the city of Washington. He is, as we said, from Washington’s best stock.

He informed us that we couid see the beautiful canary birds from Washington at the stow. . To satisfy cur curiosity we paid a visit and to ur surprise we were recognized. Of course newspaper men have more license than other people and we hope that the craft will not think wrong of us, as we only luoked at the show through our wives opera glasses. The colored people in this city are doing well, They deserve credit for their indu try and the'r fine We met many fumili-r faces. Our old friend John Marshall is here doing well. It will be rememberd that he married the daughter of Mr. and Mis. Robert Thomkins. Jobn is looking well. Our short stay would not permit us to pay a visit to his amiable wife. Believing that we have seen encugh of the city, we shall now leave ter home. Youu can just imagiae how we feel. It isnow Sunday morning and we are on our way to the train in seaich of our left foreman Rush, who was to have uce mp nied us. Here we are and there is Rush. Helle! O4 boy! He speaks, but indeed Rush looks like he has been on an all night’s drunk. He informs us that the rain and snow, atter bis arriva', fored him to re- wain in the depot all nigut.

THE COLORED PROHIBITIUN CANDIDATE SNOWED UNDER. NEWS &C. Piiladelphia, Pa, Nov. 9, ’86. The past weck has been one of surprises, to almost every one. The eve of the election both par ties claimed tLey would carry the state, the prolubition party not to be left out in the cold made a counter claim that though they might not win the governor, the vote they would poll would show that temperance was on the in crease. When the vote was count- ed it was found that fully 40,000 democrats bud not voedin the state and that the republican’s candidates vote wou!d apuroxima‘e 50,000 maj rity, ths was the first surprise; the second one was the surprising small vote polled in both city and state ia the cause of temperance, even their candidate for governor the irrepressible Wolf, failed to carry his own as- sembly district (he was also candi- date for the legistatare) but was snowed under by a large vote. The third surprise, and to our mortification be it said the coiored candida e Rev. Palmer, was cut more ip those d.stric’s, where our people are largely in the majority, than in the white districts where ne should have led the ticket, he fell below the candidate for governor. Both the republ can and independent press are serving our people in far from honeyed | words, and point to them the ex. ample of the labor movement in | New York, they also say, that if | this is the way our people support | one another, they need not expect | to be again named on any ticket, (as they invite sure defeat. An- | othe: surprise was the glorious de- | feat of ex-judge Briggs, the re- !nowned republican negro huter, though bolstered by the bosses fell 40,000 short of the election. Across the river our Jersey breth- ren hoped to elect a republieaa governor though south Jersey rolled up large majorities. Hud- son Co. with. one full swoop swept them all aside, and went several thousands better. The anti-Sewellites hoped to defeat the return of Gen Sewell to the U.S. Senate. At this writing we hold the legislature by a very slender thread. _ The congressional delegation will stand five republi- cats and two democrats, a gain of one from this city. All the old var horses go back. The Amphions of this city were invited to sing in Gotham, when they reached the city they found he parties were not going to keep tothe agreements they refused to sing. To make matters worse Dr. Derricks stated to the audience the cause that led to the re‘usal of the Amphions to sing which was at variance with the truth. This brought the president Mr. Joseph Hill to his feet who gave the true reason, much to the discomfiture of the reverend gentleman. Rev. James Handy of your city is to lead to the altar this week, the widow of the late Dr. Frisby, we wish him through the Bus, all the pleasures that married life can give.
