Prior to the ascendency of the cemocratic party, there could be found in the republican party a class of negro leadeis, otherwise “Lord High Priests,’ otherwise official dictators as to colored ap- pointments. These “Lord High Priests” had a mania for demasd- ing recognition according to mer- it so to speak, but always vemand- ed recognition for their immediate family thus depriving worthy and deserving persons of their just dues. Quite a number of these old f: ssiles have been relegated to the rear and new men have come to the front, far superior in iutel- let and exercising even more in- fluence among the people. The races’ impediment has been due tosuch men as these and until there is a change co long will the races’ progress be retarded. Strange to say we have not seen such demand for places under this administration by these guardians oftbeentire (?) colored race. Befor: we commit ourse.ves to either can didate, wouid it not be well for us to know what part these demi- gods are to play in the event of republican success? Would it not be well forus to ascertain what we can expeci? The day of senti- ment has fled like a sweet morn- ing breze its fragrance has had such an «nchanting iwffuence on the mind ot the deluded, who have stuck toiheir idles for ihese many years. The issue of this campaign will not give these black dictators an opportunity to wo:k the senti- ment racket. It@is free trade against protection. So far as the negro is concerned one has been as beneficial to him as the other. The “Lord High Priests” will de- clare that Uurrison and Morion are fire men; thst Cleveland and ‘Ikurman a.e friends to the oppressed. But what we want to know is what the negro is to re ceive ? Ilow is he to be benefi ed? Both parties have declared their inability to protect him, now the question is whatis he to expect? Had Sherman been nominated these questions would not have been asked; we know the man, and his record, and his record answers the question. But, now we have new wen to deal with and new issues to confront us. The platforms upon wh ch the cau- didates are to rise or fail have been erected, The plauks of human hberty, freedom and independance have been left out. Shall we take Harrison or Cleveland? Already hundreds of our race, as we pre- dicted two years ago, have gone to Cleveland and free trade. Let us review the field before we go anywhere. JOHNSHERMAN. Rome had her Cicero, Greece ber Demosthenes and America has the greatest living statesman infJobn Sherman of Ohio. No man 1s more appreciated and honored and when the managers of James G. Biaine saw in what esteem Mr. Sherman was held, by the American people, every effort was made to defeat his nomivation. Mr. Sherman should have been nominated and when it was about to be accom- plished the Blaine managers and trickters commenced their work. They disregarded every principle of honor aud decency, all kinds of tricks were resort+d to, combina tions upon combinations were form ed to slaughter the man who is a friend to humanity. It made no difference how just a contest- ants claim was, it he were not for Blaine there was no show for his admission as a delegate. The Blaine managers on the national committee went so far as to mis- place the credentials of cartain Maryland delegates who were for Mr. Sherman, and when the case was brought up before the com- mittee on credentiale, their cre- dentials could not be found. It was the base work of the Blaine mane, that caused so much dissatisfaction in the convention, and if Mr. Blaine had been sincere the letter he wrote on Monday sbould have been written and sent to theconvention on the day it convened: The whole thing was a trick, but thanks to the gods, Blaine and his notorious satellites were defeat- ed; the death of Roscoe Conkling vindicated and the Republic rav- ed. True as Hon. John Mer- cer Langston said, Blaines’ nomi_ nation would have been disastrous to the nation and distructive to the republican party. Sherman bleeds, but, he is not dead;defeat- ed but he lives. COLORED DEMOCRATS. A great.deal has been said about colored men joining the democratic party; that they are tools, We are of the opinion that in this age of enlightment and civilizatior that a colored man can do as he places. The question among the colored voters of this country is, will the repub licans nominate a man better than Mr, Cleveland, if not they are for Mr. Cleveland —Washington Bee. Brother Chase thou hast treated us cruelly mean,but if you really intend to bea democrat we for- give you, yes, we forgive you. What was it that put brains into your head while writing the above. —Public Educator. This is from C. H. J. Taylor’s paper, a naturel born ass. ‘Tay- lor has mistaken his calling. HARRISON AND MORTON After the defeat of the Blaine schemets at the Chicago Conven- tion and their dirty treachey toward Hon, John Sherman, Gen. Benja- min Harrison, of Indiana, and Hon. Levi P. Morton, of New York, were nominated for presi- dent and vice president resp: ctive- ly. Thisis the ticket a republican convention has put before the American people and ask that it be elected. ‘The nominees are good men, but what we want to know is, will these men when elected, and especially Mr. ILarrison, have constitutional authority to protect the co!ored man in his civil, and political mghts? Will Mr. Cleveland protect him or bas he attempted to protect him? If not the negro should adopt s me means whereby his rights shall be maintained, It is suid that Mr. Blaine’s friends dic- tated the nomination of Harrison aud Morton; that he Blaine will be the central figure in the nex! administration should the republi caus win We think not. Ii was Mr Blaine’s position, under the Garfield administation, that prevented his nomination at the last republican convention and it 18 pot natural that Mr. Harrison would embarass his administra- tion with such a manas James G Blaine. Notwithstanding Mr. Blaine’s attitude in the last con- vention, how are we to be bencfit- ed by supporting the republican or dem cratic ticket? So far as free trade and protection are cou- cerned, the negroes want protec- tion and things as free as possible OFF FOR THE SUMMER. Every. evening a number of students and regular hotel men leave tor some resort. It is worth the while to remark concerning these young men The average hotel man isaspendthrift. His contact with white pe»ple creates a false idea within him and his meagre earnings are spent in riotous living, or iu a vain at- tempt to imitate those upon whom he acts. Hotel life -is ser- vile in its nature but honorable. Whatever its character, this must be said that, a man may be a gen- tleman anda waiter at the same time if he wishes to. The secu- pation is honest. Tbe student reaps his harvest during the sum mer months. As a usual thing he is sober and industrious and prefer to save his moans to ass st him amid winter snows and in his attempts to buy books aud neces- sary clothing. The student is the most valuable hotel man. Ie is intelligent, easily managed and dces not strive to shrink. The only place where the student gets a tall supply of m:als regularly is at these resorts. Commonly all students are voracious. They can eat at any and alltimes. They are the pride of the guests often receiving at their hands sixty and a hundred dollars tor good atten. tion. It is often the other way at times when a fond hope anda happy expectation are thrown down in dispair. The student) scarcely gambles, They room to- gether and have their own fun. They always carry offa trunk use them after the first week. Their debating societies are of: ten useful and it was said by a prominent man of our city that he caught his inspiration while attending one of these meetings. Some few cf them in attemptiug to be big headed often mistate things and say that they go off to rusticate when they know they have been working hard. Honest labor ismanly. No one needs to be ashamed of it. It is ennobling and inspiring. All honor to the man that works. Blaine will never be president, We wonder how Hayden feels now. We wonder how the boss erap shooter feels siuce the defeat of his idle. Perry Carson declared when he left the city and while in Chi- cago that Blaine would be nomi- nated, and the Bre asserted that he would not. Carson is just as far from the “Promise Land” as he ever was. Eee The greatest speech delivered in the Chicago convention by a negro was by Hon, John M. Langston. Prof. Langston always has something new to say when- ever he speaks. =—————— Anybody with a grain of sense ought to know that the Blaine mob that left this city last week headed by the boss mobber and crap shooterr meapt a defeat for Blaine, This is the same gang that gave a picnic at Vannes to raise money to go to Chicago. The negrozs and a few white men who degerted Senator Sher- man got left. Ths Alger man- azers promised those Southern delegates who deserted Senator Sherman, from three to four hun- dred dollars. After Harrison’s nomination they couldn’t be found. : There need be but little analyz- ing of Hon. Frederick Douglass’ speech at the Convention this week to confirm the proverb— “There is nothing new under the sun.”— Peoples Witness The same old story that has been told for the lus‘ century. The whiskey mob has controlled district politics about long enough and it is the duty of the District Republican League, presided over by Hon. A. M. Clapp, to call this mob to a halt. This league should be the recognized republican head in the District of Columbia, and no better man than Mr. Clapp can see that it is done. The verdict of the late republi- can convention virtually put a veto on Mr. Blaines’ political aspirations. As we stated some time ago Mr. Blaine was not the man to be trust- ed in the presidential chair. This fact was demonstrated in the con- vention by the efforts that were made to nominate him against the will of the people. The Chicigo Conservator among other things srys the following concerning Prof. Langston’s speech in seconding the nomina~ tion of Hon, John Sherman: Langnton followed in declaring his allegiance to Sherman. Of splendid personal appearance, nit- ural graces of an.orator and a fin- ished education, he kept the con- vention for ten minutes in wrapt attention and undisguised admira- tion. His delivery was univer- sially accorded to be the nearest approach to perfection yet seen in the convention, RAMAGING OUTGROWTH OF PENSIOY LAWS. That widows should receive pension is an accepted fact and worthy of commendation. The fatherless and husbandless should be provided for. The country ows them protection. This view of the case has no objectionable feature. But when pensions ericourage immorality and vice by placing strictures upon marital privileges they should be altered. A man or woman should have the same tight of inheritance or of income regardless of their possi~ bility in marriage. The mere fact that a pensioned woman takes a husband should not be a suflicient recompense for the loss of her father or former husband. The bettering of her condition rests opon pensioned basis. The selection of a husband should in no way interfere with the rights to receive pensions. So long as half packed with books but seldom | the law remains, vice is encourag- ed.

Onr trip to the Chicago republi-~ can convention will be remembered for a long time to come. We wit- nessed things,that would have shock- ed the modesty of the most proflig- ate,especially by those who endeav- ored to force Mr. Blaine on the con- vention. We were invitedto a confer- ence in the Grand Pacific Hotel, in 2 room occupied by the managers of Blaine. We found out, after a few minutes talk, that it was only necessary for a contestant delega- tion to declare for Blaine to assure admission as a delegate to the con- ventien. The great scheme was to make Wm. Walter Phelps the prominent dark horse presidential candidate, as a breake was antici- pated in the convention and in such an event Mr. Phelps was to be nominated. Tickets were being bought atany price and given to parties to beom the man who was to be the prominent dark horse candidate. We were told to send delegates to room, 141 wherea_ conference was to be held and delegates ques- tioned. We had anumber to go there, but put them on their guard and also to use them as_ witnesses t if it were necessary.

Every-effort was made to prejudice delegates against Sen- ator sherman. It was evident that the Blaine men wanted no one nominated who had too much love for the negro, but were willing to take negro delegates to advance their own interests, It caused us to wonder, can men be so ungrateful to their fellow man, Our advice is, let us have a conference of our leaders before we declare for anybody. Now is the time for the negroes of this country to sink or swim, live or die, servive or perish, The Blaine managers are trickey. If Blaine is like his managers, the people should beware. Langston made a great speech. Wise was admitted but Mahone still lives. The managers of Blaine ars re- sponsible for the fuss kicked up at the Chicago convention. Douglass went to Chicago to air himself. The Blaine heelers may have knocked Dyson out, but he will come again. Lacy was the most gentlemanly. Invitations are out for Miss Foots’ marriage. Who will succeed Miss Foot ? Trustee Cornish is not controlled by Mr. Cook. Sherman isa great man among the people. Wise cannot carry his own coun- Some men who consider them- selves great and who have fallen below par, will hang on to the coat tail of the most profligate to rise again. We have such men in view who went to the Chicago convention. The BEE takes no stock in Blaine nor his managers. John H. Brooks dictates greatly the policy of a certain school official. Commissioner Webb ought to know it. An official who is not competent enough to conduct bis own busi- ness vhould be removed. The people are endebted to Prot. Hunster for the late school exhibi- tion.
