One copy rer year. $2.00 Six months 1.00 60 City subscibers, monthly..... He Has Wheels. In last Monday’s issue of the Post of thia city, one John N. Thompson by the name assayed to give the Republican and Democrat- ie parties a lecture upon the sub-— ject of employing enlored people in the Executive Departments. The address of this wise acre seems to be Beatrice, Colorado and hespeaks for the people of his section and in fact all sections where the Grand Army has any respectable represen- tation. The article referred to, will be found in another column of this issue and will furnish fod for thougat and material for the use of the Democratic Campaign Com- mittee, in whose behoof, we ap- prehend the stuff wag written, Or-| dinarily, we could not afford to no- tice such bog-wash for the simple reazon that inourjudgementand in view of well known facts the state ments are, to suy the least, juggled andinthe main untrue, But as the Treason assign by the writer for his advice Was that of the coming of the Grand Army, which he grossly missrepresent, we have taken the trouble to notice it for a similar reazon, Thompson complains that ‘‘young strong negroes’’ are loafing about the corridors of the Departments and paid for the same by Uncle gam; that Democrats and Republi- cans alike are guilty of a ‘“eon- tempacle act’? when ever they ap- point a colored man or woman in the Departmente; that the colored employees should be discharged or hidden before his comrades fill the city. Complainant farther states that “Iam a Republican” and “I am not a negro-hater;”’ has dis- Covered the cause of Harrison’s de- feat in the fact that there are a few eolored laborers and nessengers in the Departments and that facts was rebuked at the last meeting of the G.A.R. in this city; that “such as Corp. Tanner and Gen Dyren- forth have protested against giving negroes such employment,’’ and closes his bosh by the following:— “fas 4 Grand Army man I will warn our party against this evil and woe be unto'us if my warning is not heeded.” Now to make short of the matter we might reply first, that the wriver is not a Republican as he claims he is, He may have . * i voted the Republican ticket once in his life-time; bat certainly it could not have been on principle: for the essential and distinguishing feature of~r publiecanism is the doctrine of the full and free en— joyment of liberty and the fruits of toil by all citizens, without regard to race, color or previous condition of servitude ‘The writer disowns this doctrine and is henc> only a pretender. In the oext placethe writer is a negro-hater, in that he advises the discharge of colored employes sim- ply because they are enlored, The most black-hearted enemy could not desere to see greater misfortune befall one than the loss of the means by which he is enabled to support his wife and children. In the nex: place the rank and fi'e of the Grand Army are not the writer's ‘‘comrades,’’ as he claims they are, Comradeship compre hends something more than the mere art of Carrying a gun or ma- nipulating a cutlass. I: presumes agreemencas to thesentiment which prompted enlistment in the cause and a pride in the legitimate re- sults of thesame, The sentimert underlying the Civil War being that of freedom and justice to all » an- kind and-the results having been the enfranchisement of the colored people and their investment with the habi!aments of citizenship, it follows that the writer is not only not a comrade of therank and file of the Grand Army, butis more of a traitor, negro-hater and tra- ducer, than aloyal patriot and fair- minded man, Again we deny that Corp. Tan- ner or Gen. Dyrenforth protested against the appointment of colered men inthe Departments. Jt may be that these gentleman insisted that where colored men were to he appointed those belonging to the Grand Army should haye the pref- erence; but that a protest was made against ine appointment of colored men simply on aceount of | Grand | ed States. ee | who will act as his secretary and as- Army which these gentlemen rep-| their | color, is an insult to the resent and a reflection upon records a3 Republians t tried. ‘Dr. Reyburn is making a manly Las there be a kick? rect vue and} forces in t.e right direction h’ woald be eff. ctive.
