Adams, the St. Paal, Minn., manager of “ihe Appeal,” one of | the leading jonrnalist in the United States. As a journalist, Mr, Adams is one of the best in the jand and a man whois respected by the leading republicaus ia the West. He isin the city, one of the committee of fifty, and the only colored man on the committee from Minuissota who aided in se- curing his state for the meeting ot the next National Republican Con- vention. Mr Adams has been given the credit of baving done some effec- tive work in the interest of his state. He is a polished gentleman and being well known by the represen- tatives of bis race aud the party, a more suitable man could not have been selected by the republicans of the state. The Bee can say for Mr. Adams that he, in connection, with the other members of the committee and the Minuisota contingent 1D this city accomplished the work. Vhe above is a good portrait ot Mr. Adams. When the vote was announced that his -state bad secured the prize, the wildest excitement prevailed; men spatebed their bats from their beads, and smashed them up and ‘adies waved their bandkerebiefs over the victory tbat the West bad acbieyed. The citizens of Minuisota ought to feel highly covgratulated over their victory; the citizens of that stateowe adebt of gratitude to Jobn Q. Adams, the manager of the “Appeal,” because it was be who influenced the colored mem- vers of the committee to vote for Mivueapolis. Mr. Adams bas been the guest of Mr. A. F.

REFORM LN DISTRICT POLI - TICS, | Petmary Execit»ns—Tue Popu- LAR DEMAND oF Tuk ReruB- LICANS—GL@A-ON = TuD CoNFIDENT. (Daily Post ) The local political pot is now simmering, bert tha two 6 mtending factions of tie Repablican party tare poking away atthe fe iu an energetic manner, and witbiu a few days it will b+ boiling with some indications at present of its raa- ning over. Political affsirs among the toval Republicans will remain mn statu quo until the R-publi- Can vational Committee fixes the time for the nominating conven- tion. Then the bustling aud the fan will begin. There are two factions at work in the city, each striving for the possession of the machinery. Que is headed by Andrew Gleason and Perry Carson, who favor the pres= ent order of things, which meaus a mass meeting iu each district; the other headed by Calvin Chase, which seeks reform and the inau- guration ofthe, general primary system of selecting delegates. Each side clgims to represent the majority of the people, and each is certain of success. It bas been the custom hereto- tore for the central committee to call upon the organizations in the twenty-two old legislative districts to hold conventions or primaries, and elect in each case three mew- bers to represent the district in the new central committee. The bew committee then arranges for the convention which choses the two Presidential electors. These central commiiteemen have hereto- fore been elected in mass Conveu- tion, and the point oyer which the contest now arises is the attempt to return to the primary system. The situationis perhaps, best ex- pressed by the leaders of the cou- tending factions. “Affairs have been run with a high band in this city,” said Cal- vin Chase, ‘‘and it is high time for the better element of the party to tise and patdewn mobrule and whiskey politics. Iam the origi- pator of the general primary sys- tem alone, and the best people are behind mein this struggle. By the primary system alone can we get an honest expression of the people, tur under the arrangement now in use the halls are crowded and the worst class control things. Mr. Gleason and Mr Carson are claiming it will cost $3,000 to bond aprimary. This is not true; 1 will ouly gost $550, just $25 to a district. We want to reium to the old order of things and prove that we are wortby of suffrage. I is one of our objects to restore suff- rage to the residents of thi- city. District politics has degenerated so toat you Canuot get deceut people to attend avy of these Conveniion-, aud, as a matter of fact, there are now ouly seven or eight white peo- ple on the central committee. We bave gove about this matter sys- tematically aud bave organized a Barrison and Morton league in every district. Tvese leagues send ‘delegates to 8 centralleague, and jin this way we keep iu tuuch witb the people. *sWe have a majority io the cen- tral committes pledged to adopt the primary system, and we pro pose to elevate Repablican polities in Washington to decency and respectability and overthrow the gang that bas been ravping things. As tbe thing is vow rau tue halls are filled with the follow- ers of the crowd that coutrols things, ad anything they propose is rusbed through.” When asked if he was a candi- date for delegate to the nominat- ing convention, Mr. Chase replied that his friends were arging bin, and be was iu theirhands. Others spoken of were, he said, Commis- sioner Douglass, ex Mayor Bowen, er. Mr. Chase expressed the ut- most coutidence in the success of the element of which he is the ac credited leader. “There 18 nothing in it,” said Mr, Andrew Gleason last night. “@alvin Chase and a half a dozeu others are making @ big noise aud clamoring tor a primary, but they are not in it. We will go about it as we always have and Perry Oar gon and Andy Gleason will be the delegates. Talk about a primary, why it would cost $3,000; and where’s the money coming trom to - pay the bills? We want the pres- Daniel E. Cabill, aud M. M. Park-| | good as wuy olber aud iakeu sepa- ent method, The central commit-} tee will call upon the districts to hold t.u.eir meetings and each dis- triet will select its own committee- men as itsees fit. Every district | will meet on the same pight and at the same bour, so there can be no colonizing. Personally, Pm not afraid of the primary plan, tor IT can go intoit and defeat avy man they pat up five toe one, “Ifthe chairman of the central committees dosen’c issue the eall tor the convention we will get a call signed by the majority of the commitiee and issue it over bis bead, How Mr. Divis, the ecbair man, stands, | don’t know. My idea is tuatimmediately after the date for the Presidential conven- tiov is decided, the local commit— tee will issoe its call, and the faa will begin.” Mr. Gleason is coufident bis section will sweep aside all oppos- Ition, and be bas no hesitation in anpouncing the fact that heis a Blaine man. A WOMAN sPEAKS. Tue GRAND Army ENCAPMEMNT. Editor of the Bez: I differ so widely with the editor of one of our daily papers, that 1 ask of you space enough for this article. He says that there is no need to anticipate trouble in connection with the coming Grand Army Encampment and the color- ed people, He ought to kuow that the colored people of this city are not fools and that they only judge the future by the past ant preseut, There is every rea:ou to expect a manifestation of the prejadice on that occasion, aud there is nothing left for the colored people to do that will invite a display of the feeling that bas existed, dues exist aod very likely will exist for some time to come. The colored people of this city, and any who may visit here, are offered insult on iusalt when ever au opportunity is given acertain Negro bating Class of people whodo business here. Be cause a coloured man dares to tell the truth he is cousidered a **mis- cuief maker, be assumes a distrast- ful, threatening and dictortal at- teutiou toward the host, the city ot Washington.” The colored people of this city have been asle-p long enough, come, wake up and be men and vot dumb driven cattle. The col- ored mau uever excites himself, there is always something bebine bia wheu be becowes exciied. Eis great fauli is to take things too easily. In the late Ecumenical Cunterevce held in this city the colored van was a man in the widst of men aud tue whole cou- sidered one of the most intelligent gatberipg ever beid. He was in the midst of foreiguers aud strang- eis trom all quarters of the Union and Was nol made to feel tuai there was apy differeuce, for tuere was vove, uutil be cawe tu Contact with this prej diced class of Wasbing- ton. Sume of the public places wil] serve a dirty calcas'an, with vermin hulding caucus over bis body, auy time io prefernce to serving an lutelligent, clean, geu— Ucmauly Negro, simply because of Ube t.xure of L e skin, There is no need of letting the colorea G.

Isay draw the same live on all races aud when one ix a genilewan, and that meaus much, let him = re- ceive the treatment that is due bm. It money makes ihe tive man theu should the white race clasp to its bosom the abscouders aud defauiters so vumerous. All tue faults of a colored man are seen. Certainly, we as colored people draw the line ou certaia oues of our race, abd why not? all are Certainly not bad and some are good. Asa race we areabuut as rately we have sume who cau staud the calcium hizbt. Tbe peo- ple of this city mast Ivara to kuow | tbat all colured people are pot} alike. We areas other races, di vided into good, iudsffsreut and | bad classes aud we ouly ask that) each class may receive the treat | ment that belongs to it. Had our relations been different some forty years ago We would ask pothiug to day. We are not to be kept down we are rising, we will uot much longer asyume the role of the lamb, but will transfer it to our white brother and in its stead we will put on the garb of the lion. Lido sucerely hops that the colored G@. A. R men. who may visit the city, may receive just such treatment as any otber less prejudiced city would give, In conclusion, and apart from what I have said, let me saggest that the agitators who are working against all public places that make and, show diff -rence on account of color need Ouly to get our women inter ested in the cause, and success is sure tocrown your efforts, Our fathers, basbands, brothers and a few of us make the mouey that is pent in some of the doomed places, but we, the women, do the priuci- | ple part of the spending. We will j help you in this your great under- taking, We are a power. A WoMAN. a nn te WORLD’s FAIR NULES.
