We shall likewise further enter our protest and objections at De- troit, the first night of the encamp- ment August 1891. We do not fa- vor, or do we think it jast and right toencamp the Grand Army here where one portion of it, the ‘faith. ful allies” as the late Gen. Garfield termed the colored Grand Army men, will receive insults, contemp tious treatment and otherwise made to feel the strong power and infla- ence of pro-slavery, caste, distine- tion and race proscriptive senti- ment that prevails here. There are too many loyal com munities that will gladly welcome the Grand Army and its following aud none of its members or friends made to feel that their color will be a bar to their receiving treatment due veteran soldiers, seamen and American citizens. They were men good enough to fight for the union in its dark and perilous hour; they are now worthy of respectfal and loyal treatment, This, they cannot get in this city. We shall arge our case on these grounds trom now un- til the matter 18 decided at Detroit. Very respectfully, Gxzo. M. Arnoip, Nat'l. S. & S. League, 1622 10th St., n. w. WHO IS BILL MURRELL. his city YE8 HE IS SAME MURRELL. Editor BEE: Will you please state for the ben- efit of our readers who is Mr. Mur- rell referred to in last Sunday’s Post. Here is the article: “Mr. Murrell, a colored man from New Jersey, temporarily residing in Washington, was present and was requested to speak. He made some good points in favor of Washington and thought that while there might be a few skirmishes with other am- bitious cities, when Washington opened her batteries they would all ‘skeedaddle.” The main argument of those who oppose Washington was that the people of the city would charge war prices. This, Mr. Marrell said, he had taken occas- ion to deny, and the most sensible thing he had seen on this subject was an editorial in the Post, a num ber of marked copies of which he had sent away. He state? that he had been a delegate to the national encampment for many years, and be knew the sentiment was for Washington as the next place of meeting. The men at the head of the movement here were the rep- resentaulve men of the city, and it was a compliment to the Grand Army to be invited by such a body of citizens. There would be, he thought, about 190 colored veter- ans as delegates to the encampment and, notwithstavding the alleged opposition of some colored people to Washington, be was assure they would all vote for this city.” ; Iam desirous of ascertaining if this is the same man who was ouce in the legislature of Louisiana, afterwards a policeman iu Wash- ingtoa thence to New Jersey. If this be the some person, his case may be properly referred to the La., people for report, and then it will be time for the good people bere to know whether sach a man should represent them 1n any capa- city. lask this in good faith and with desire then, to see justice dove the citizens of the natioual capitol. This man, Marrell, is very cheeky indeed, but he, if it be the same one of Louisiaua’s fame, is without respect. a Very respecttally, R. C. Doutremetta, New Orleans, La. REV. WALTER BROOKS ROT- TEN-EGGED. NO LOCAL OPTION @INIA. AN INSULT TO A DISTIN GUISHED DIVINE. From the Southern Tribune, Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the First Baptist church, Washing: ton D. C., and who had been invit- ed to Danville by the Probibition- ists of that town, to speak on the Local Option question, was rotten- egged there last Saturday night, WANTED IN VIR-| or ere we A £ ay aw 7 4 V7 fp t/ 7 rh while making an open speech to a large audience. We think all fair-minded persons will agree with us, when we say, that the failure of any city to give a visiting speaker, however he may differ in opinion, a respectful hearing on a public question, smacks of a very degrad- jed moral tone on the part of that |eity. And the good people of Dan- | ville were direlict in their moral daty, in not vindicating their good name, by rising in mghteous indig- nation, and denounciag so scoun- drelous adeed on the part of the miscreants in their midst. For, if we are to take the latter as a crite- rion for the moral standing of that city, we must conclude, that she is not only sadly in need of the Local | Option in question, but that she is |S8o thorouguly corrupted, that the stench from her moral taint would | render Sodom and Gomorrah prince | ly cities. | —_-- ao. GRAND ARMY NOTES, Editor of the Bre: The thanks of the people of this community, who are day by day made to feel the iron hand of pro- slavery, rule caste hate, and race discrimination, is due you for al- lowing some ventilation ou these questions. ‘Ibe Star and Post, will gladly as they do print and publish all that the other side says, but, stoutly refuse to give us, our side, & line. Now, Mr. Chase, our citizens, who are watching the controversy between the 5th Masa., Calvary, colored and myself, will get fearfal- ly tired of it, the moment it becomes personal. 5th Mass., Cal- vary (colored) in the Pilot Jaly 18, in his closing paragraph makes a statement which I do not believe he thinks now is true. If he will throw off his mask and make the charge over his real name, and give the name or names of persons gail- ty of what le says, then the matter will be made interesting. Task you to publish this week a copy of the letter herewith, that we addressed to Gen. W. W. Dudley and Mr. Frank Hatton, neither of whom condesended to make a reply. Yours traly, Geo. M. Arnold. a TH#& RALEIGH EXPOSITION, BEV. J. C. PRICE INVITES PLE. THE PEO-- Representative colored citizens held a meeting in Metropolitan A. M. E. chareh, in accordance with a call issued by Rev. J. C. Price, D. D., commissioner in chiet, colored department of the Southern Inter- State Exposition, to be held at Raleigh, N. C., in October and No- vember. The meeting was to take action in regard to representation from the District of Columbia. Mr. J. W. Cromwell presided snd Hon. John H. Smyth was secretary. Rev. J. ©. Price set forth the aims of the managers of the expo- sition. He appealed to his colored brothers’ patriotism aud race pride and to his ambition to take his place among the great na ions, not to allow the opportanity to pass to show the people of the United States and the nations of the earth what the American Negro had ac complished in his one quarter of a ceatury of freedom. The colored people of the District were invited to goto Raleigh with their wares and the results of their industries and prove that they were worthy a place and a chance in the race of life. Messrs. A. St. A. Smith, F. G. Rarbadoes, J. W. Bowen, James Storom, and J. KF. N. Wilkinson, @ committee appointed for the purpose, presented resolutions, which were adopted, highly ap- proving of the plans laid out by Dr. Price. The resolations said that such an exhibit would tend to remove prejudice against the color- ed people in revealing their adapta- bility to ao advanced civilization and prove to the world their worth- iness ot all the privileges and rights to civil, political, and indastrial | citizenship. The resolutious far- | ther say that the Negro is practi- cally excladed by reason of caste from representation in the great industries of the country; is not recognized as an inyentor, and is ignored as an artist. The board of Columbian Exposi- tion managers iu its seeming puar-~ pose to ignore these facts, the reso- lations continued, called for serious regret on the part of the colored race as tending to perpetuate the object songht te defeat—caste dis- tinction. Italso tended to discour- age the colored race in-its struggle for achievements in the arts, sciences, and industries. The resolutions commended the spirit of fairness on the part of the Southern Interstate Exposition managers in granting space for exhibits by colored people. The officers appointed for the District of Columbia are J. W. Cromwell commissioner; Geo. M. Arnold, secretary; and Leanard Baily, treasurer. AMUSEMENTS. Wait I Say, For Us. —THE— METROPOLITAN Bapr.
