ARE THEY WANTED? IF SO, WHEN? WHAT PO- SITION WILL THEY OCCUPY IN THE BODY POLITIC? The question is being daily asked if Afro-Americans will be recognized in councils of either of the great po- al parties. The following letters have been sent to Mr. Wm. J Bryan and Major Wm. McKinley, the repub- lican and democratic nominees: Washington, July 17, 1896.—Hon. Wm. Jennings Bryan, Lincoln, Nebras- ka, Dear Sir: — As the nominee of the democratic party or the nominee of the silver party, you have no doubt surprised the country, but, more es- pecial the ‘“‘old war horses ’’ who took partin your recent democratic convention that met in the city of Chicago, Ill., July 7. You are a stranger to me, and no ; doubt a stranger to the great body of Afro-Americans, in whose interest I address you. The issue in the coming campaign will be money, whether the country will sustain the platform that has declared for free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver or whether the American people favor gold as a standard and return the great republi- | can party to power, are questions of } conjectures. For over two hundred and fifty years | there has existed in this country cer- tain citizens known as Afro-Americans or more commonly called Negro party and in that party they have not{ been welcomed, except the inovation made by President Cleveland, who must be given credit for the courage of his conviction and the interest he has taken in certain representative Af- of sufficient importance to elect one a delegate to your convention. — There exists in certain sections of this country a law, not upon the statute | books, but an unwritten law known as “lynch law.’ This law is particularly of organizations engravers in th garten and Sons, being nominated at St. Louis, Mo., as the nomineee of the great republican party of America. Your victory over the combined forces of American pol- iticians, was, indeed, wonderful and unparalleled in the history of repub- lican conventions: | Yournomination was an evidence of your popularity in the republican party and the faith and confidence the peo- ple and their representatives have in| you. The platform upon which you lead the party to victory or defeat, is broad and liberal. While the tariff oc- | | cupies a prominent place in the plat- | jform, it is evident that the money question seems to be the great issue | between the two great political parties and uponthis question the American people seem to be divided. There is a question that is more important to a | certain class of your fellow-citizens {than gold or silver; a question in which the personal liberty, the politic- al and legal rights of a people are in- volved. While your platform declared against lynch law, we have yet to see | will | | an executive of any party enforce the amendments to our constitution which | guarantee equal rights to all classes of citizens irrespective of color or condition. If the constitution of these United States can be construed, to the extent | to protect certain citizens abroad, and, in States, why can not it be enforced | to protect certain other citizens in| their domestic tranquillity? The quéstion of universal liberty, is, entirely eliminated from your platform so far as American citizens are con- tuted and are made the predominating features and the issues in the present political campaign. Should the party succeed in electing you or the American people decide that you are the choice for president of the United States, what part will Afro- Americans play in the counsels of your administration or what consideration will they receive ? Don’t think that I mean to be at all presumptious or doubt the sincerity of the party whose principles have been equality to all, since its organization, and friendly disposed towards Afro- Americans, but as an American citi- zen, born a freeman, I exercise the rights of a freeman, and sincerely hope that the dignity of your position will not preclude a reply to him whose love for race amelioration and progress is above party affiliation. With assurance of profound respect, I remain, Yours sincerely, W. Cavin CHASE, Editor of THE WASHINGTON BEE. THEY ARE COMING AGAIN. The Orpheus Glee Club last June ad- vertised an excursion to Notley Hall, with a double orchestra—one to play all day at the grounds and one all day at the boat. The weather was damp, and only a few friends came but the boys did not cut their promises but gave those few as royal a time as if they had been a thousand, with twelve pieces of music playing for them all the day and evening. Of course they lost money, but they paid it like men and never squealed. Now these young men have engaged the same steamer, the same grounds, the same double orchestra, and all for Tuesday August 4, and will make three trips—at 9.30 a. m., 2.00 p. m. and 6p. m. Everyone who admires pluck, and who has appreciation for an honest ef- fort to do all that is possible to insure their own pleasure, and all the friends of the Club should turn out on this occasion and give the boys a rousing ovation. They deserve it, and the pleasure seeking friends should see to it that they get it. Do not torget the day and date, Tuesday August 4th.

The citizens of this place in corpora- tion with the officials of the Washing- ton, Alexandria and Mt Vernon Elec- tric road, are making every worthy effort to secure the station at Queen | City. President Ruffin Holmes of the Alex- andria Country Industrial Association, says that nothing can beat the present arrangement, but the grant and erec- tion of the station. Vice president, Isaac Hines, is of the opinion that all of the towns of the Roslyn, Holmes- ville, Arlingtonville and Nauckville, should unite in securing the station for the general good of Afro-Amer- icans. Secretary Isaac Clincott, says a station here would Americanize the commuity. Judge James H. Lane, says this com- munity will be embarrassed as long as the putting off this station is delayed.
