THE LABOR PAWTY GAINING STRENGTH. JUDGE MC ARTHUR’S SUCCESSOR CHOSEN. NO DEMONSTRATION OR ORGANIZATION BY DISTRICT RE- PUBLICANS AND DEMUCRATS. NO INDIGNATION MEETINGS TO BE CALLED. We beg leave to call the ut- te: tion of Hon. John Sherman t» the comments, in this paper, of the colored press on his recent our and speech in the south. It was but a few years ago when this distinguished senator had a few of his hireling going through the south for the purpose of securing colored delegates in his interest for the republican convention. We desire to say to Mr. Sherman that the colored voters through- out the country will divide their votes when they get ready and when they deem it necessary. What means this sudden UNLOADING OF NEGROES? It is just as we predicted that the republican party as repre- sented by white men is attempt- ing to unload the Negro. Color- ed men throughout the country be on your guard: Now is the time to deciare your independence. Let us come to some conclusion; let us decide our owa destiny and not leave it for others to decide torus. The call fora national convention ot colored men will be issued as soon as all the states are heard from. We advise you all to get ready for the crisis, Onr liberty, our treedom and po- litical salvation depend upon our- selves. The great leader of the white republican party hes asked for a division of the colored vote. Shall we remain where we are not wanted? If there is any manhood in the Negroes let them consid- er the invitation and go to which ever party that will give them rec- oguition. There are too many par ties in the countrv at this time that want the colored vote. The Monday ELECTIONS played havoc to the ‘republican party by the labor element of this country. ‘he republicans will find that they will not have sueh a walk over iu 88 as they expect to have.. Monday electious indi- cate which way the wind is blow- ing. President Cleveland — has nominated a DISTRICT JUDGE to succeed Hon. Arthur McArthur one of the purest and most up- right men who has ever presided inthe Distiict. The retirement o14 Justice McArthur has been much regretted by the brightest legal minds in this country. His successor is Ex-commissioner of | Patents Montgemery. Up to this time we have not heard any ob- jections to him by the District democracy, republicans nor Ne- groes on account of being a non- resident. We have heard of no indignation meetings by Negro republicans nor esolutious ot condemaation by the Jacksoni- an democratic association. The fiery editorials that so often headed the columns of the Daily Post and the brilliant Evening Star edited by that distinguished and able journalist Crosby S. Noyes, have been turned into psalms of praise of this non-resi- age oes What. is. to, matter géeatlemen? Is Mr. Montgomery a political monstrosity? Our sable sons of night have been driven into their holes simply because a Negro has not been nominated. Py all means gentlemen don’t be trightened. Cull forth the mob Where is Frank Ward with bis band. Is Mr. Montgomery a non-resident gentlemen? ‘The smart elics of the District democ- racy have dug their own graves and are only waiting to be buri- ed. Why not advocate suffrage gentlemen and elect your officers if you waut District men appoint- ed? When President Cleveland was giving the District democra ey District men, there was dis- satisfuction and since the table has been turned there is greater disatisfaction. By all means let ushear from you on Mr. Mont gomerys’ appointment. Mr. In- galls will no doubt prepare a senatorial letter and send it to the President. ——_ BROOKLYN NEWS. WHY WOMEN SHOULD VOTE. ELEA NOR KIRK ON WOMANS’ SUFFRAGE. Brooklyn April 5th, 1887. Dear Editor: “Tell the truth now, don’t you think Mrs. Twitchell is acting like a fool in her efforts to emancipate her sex?” Mrs. Twitchell isa Brooklyn ‘Womans Rightser” and a very wide awake and reso- lute one. This question was put tome bya little lady who had never inher life performed a harder day’s work then to arive in the morning, gotoa matinee later, and to the opera in the ev- ening, and who lives in a brown stone house witha professiona) housekeeper, and whose chief responsibility is to see that her Scotch terrier does not take cold. That word ‘emancipate’ from such lips drives me into a state of temper which can only be de-c ib- ed by the word blizzard. To think that in the year 1887. the honester, the more virtous, and the equully intelligent half ofcre ation can be spoken of a3 slaves is humiliating to the last degree. Mrs ‘Iwitchell’s appeal to the Mayor of Brooklyn fur the pro- tection in the work of registration is probably a necessary precaution. The ignorant, the vicious, the su- loon bummers and runners are ready to make a desperate fight in the future as they have in the past to prevent women from vot- ing. They know only too wel. what the ballot would do for these wives who have for years arisen to kicks and poverty, aud gone to bed with worse than life- less stinking beasts or carrion crows. ‘They can laugh at all this protection and high license legis- lation. There is a way to get around both of these. But they know that the political expression of opinion on this subject by drunkards’ wives and daughters of high and low estates, will fur- nish the one and the only furmid- able obstacles to the perpetua- tion of this misery. “You. that live longenough will see women vote,” said Henry Ward Beezher, “and when you see women voting you will see less lying, less brutality, and more public spirit, hervism and romance in public affairs.” This puragraph stands to the name of Susan B Anthony in tie Beecher Birthday Book, immediately un~ der that of Galileo, of whom Mr. Beecher once remarked, “He had to recant. He did the best he could. He was.a man. If Susan B. Anthony had been iu Galileo’s place the fur would have flown, but she never would have taken backa syllable.” Isn’t it a little odd that these two famous persons should have been born in the same month and on the same day? No man saw so clearly as Mr. Beecher what the ballot in the hands of women would do for temperance. He was criticised as a conservative and a slave to public opinion in this regard, but I-know how deeply the iroa en— tered his soul when he saw the hav ¢ made by strong drivk. It came very close to him, among his dearest triends, and in his church and congregation, and he knew that the only remedial agent was the right on the part of the suiferers by rum to protest at the pools. It makes me laugh when [ hear my pompous m=scu- line friends talking about the inability of women to do business on business principles. ELEANOR KERK. SunnEEEEnctiieeaneinemnE HON. R.H. CAIN’S SUCCES- OR. REV. DR, T. T. JENIFER NOMINATED —HIS QUALITIES AND AVAILABIL- ITY—A JUST TRiBUTE TO A WOR- THY DIVINE. [From our editorial correspondent. ] New York, April 1st:—The re- cent decease of the late Bishop R. H. Cain of the A. M. E.Churech, necessitates the election of his suc- cessor. Many of the leading clergy men of the connection have been mentioned for the office, but none are more deserving and no one could fill the vacant position with more houor to the church founded by Richard Allen than Rev. Dr. J.T. Jenifer, pastor of the Bethel A. M. E.chureb (‘Jenifer Tem- ple,”) at Boston, Mass. It is need- less to say, that Mr. Jenifer’s ministeriai life has been and is devoid of those evils which in min- isters are often overlooked; but which in themselves are none the less grievous. Always a _ prodi- gious worker in the cause of hu- manity and Christianity, always identitied with movements for the benefit of others, never committ- ing any personal act for self-ag- grandizemeut, never making poli- tics or political issues paramount to the welfare and principles of religion, uever eugaged in dis- .| rupting’congregations, illegally sup- plauting clergymen, never grinding or attempting to grind ander his heel of Might the weaker, but none the less sincere advocates of Right, neither autocratic, supercilious or conceited, Rev. Dr. Jenifer, idoliz- ed by bis tens of thousand of friends, distinguished tor bis noble work in the vineyard of his Maker, has placed himself in the position where the Omuipresent has cheerfully bestowed upon him the divine eucomium, ‘Well done, thou good and faithtal servant.” There are clergymen in the A. M. E. connection (as in all oth- ers) that are more ostentatious than Dr. Jenifer, but simplicity is more in keeping with Christianity ; there may be others endowed with surface eloquence, but the tide of a stream is beneath its face; there may be others whose pulpit orato- ry 1s like sounding brass and tink- ling symbals; bat Dr. Jenifer thoroughly inspired with divine faith, reuders into his congrega- tious the teachings of the Omin- scient as revealed to him. Dr. Jenifer’s success during his ministerial career is movement enough for deeds performed, but in keeping with the phrase ‘Ren- der under Caesar the things that are Uaesar’s” the Bishopric belongs to Dr. Jenifer. The writer sincere- ly hopes that the colored press (especially the “Southern Record- er” of Atlanta, Ga., will give this question of the Bishopric the prom inence that it deserves. Howarp L.
