THE BROAD AX The Democratic Party And the Negro The Republican Senators Rejected the Appointment of the late C. H. J. Taylor as Minister to a White Republic Frederick Douglass and His Wife Attended a Diplomatic Dinner and Reception at the White House. Vol. X The Democ And the The Republican jected the the late C. Minister to a Frederick Dou Wife Attend Dinner and I White House Pending the final results of the Presidential election of 1884 it was freely predicted by all the Republican orators "that in case the Democratic party was successful, that its members would be so hungry that they would not permit any Negro to hold any office," but that assertion on the part of the Repbublicans was as far from the truth as the earth is from the sun, for it will be remembered that among the first official acts performed by President Cleveland, was to select Dr. Daniel H. Williams, of Chicago, as chief surgeon of the Freedman's hospital; Rev. Allen Allensworth, the present chaplain of the Twenty-fourth regiment, who was highly recommended for the position by United States Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky., received his commission from the hands of President Cleveland. Every branch of this government was under the absolute control of the Republican party, for twenty-four years prior to 1885, but during all that time no Republican President ever chose a Negro to serve as postmaster north of the Mason and Dixon line, and it remained for Grover Cleveland to be the first President to set the example in this respect, and Charles Young, now Major, had the honor of being the first Negro to receive his commission to serve as postmaster in any northern city or town. Three colored Democrats were appointed by President Cleveland to serve as postmasters in Old Virginia, and one at Goldsboro, Florida, and from the last account those three Negro Democrats in Virginia have not met with unnatural deaths, and the Negro Democratic postmaster of the enterprising town mentioned in Florida, is still performing his duties as such; moreover it is well known that more than two thousand colored men passed the Civil Service examination and were assigned to duty during Mr. Cleveland's first administration, which up to that time out-numbered all the Afro-Americans appointed to office by all his Republican predecessors. The first Negro clerk, foreman of works, and pressman to be employed and put to work in the government printing office were named and assigned to duty by Public Printer Thomas E. Benedict, who was a Democrat of the first water. Albert Hawkins, the old colored co-ordinator, who had driven all the Presid- from Abraham Lincoln down to President Harrison, and who was deprived of his time-honored situation by the Hoosier President, was hunted up and restored to his position by President Cleveland. J. M. Trotter, T. McCaint Stewart John H. Durham, Alexander Clark, H. C. Smith and many other colored men were elevated to responsible positions under both of Mr. Cleveland's administrations. To illustrate President Cleveland selected the late C. H. J. Taylor GS serve as minister to a white Republic (Bolivia) and it was the first time in the history of this country that an Afro-Americans had been chosen to represent it in such a capacity, but the Senate, which was under the control of the Lily White Republicans, absolutely refused to confirm him for the --- reason that it would be setting a very bad example to the Colored Republicans to permit a Negro Democrat to wear such high honors, hence Mr. Taylor was rejected by those who always profess so much love for the Negro; he did, however, serve six months as minister to Bolivia, and after the Senate refused to confirm him for the second time President Cleveland was forced to recall him. Later on, that is after the senate was under the control of the Democratic party, Mr. Taylor was appointed by the President to be the Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, and in spite of the bitter fight waged against him by Senators John J. Ingalls, Redfield Proctor, and several of their Republican associates, Senator John T. Morgan of Alabama, who voted to confirm the appointment of Fred. Douglass, as Marshal of the District of Columbia, in 1877, and his Democratic associates promptly confirmed Mr. Taylor's appointment. C. C. Astwood, was appointed as Consul to Lyons France, but he was rejected by the Republican senate upon the same theory and reason, which the Lily White Republican senators assigned for refusing to oconfirm C. H. J. Taylor. With these undisputed historical facts before us it is safe to say that in proportion to the colored vote cast for President Cleveland that the Negro received more political consideration and fared better than he ever has under and Republican administration. No other President of the United States ever entertained the Negro in a social way like President Cleveland, for he invited Fred. Douglass and his wife to attend a diplomatic dinner and grand reception at the White House. The Washington Post in its issue of June 16, 1886, gave an elaborate account of that social function. The Post went on to say that: "The list of guests included some of the most distinguished people in the world. There were present Prince Leopold of Brazil; the celebrated Archibald Forbes of England; Commodore Schley, Colonel Bonaparte and General Sharidan. There were also the Justices of the Supreme Court and Senators of both parties and many other eminent citizens and social leaders. "Amid this glittering throng, mingling with it on terms of social equality, moved Frederick Douglass and his wife." In looking backward it is no trouble for anyone to come into possession of this information which was flashed to all parts of the world by the Press Dispatches on the morning of November 8, 1895. "Albany, N. Y., November 8, 1895. James C. Matthews, colored recorder of deeds, in Washington, D. C., in President Cléveland's first administration, has been elected Judge of the recorder's court of this city which office carries with it powers of supreme court judge. His majority is over 2,000. He was nominated and elected on the regular Democratic ticket. It is the highest judicial of HEW TO THE LINE. CHICAGO. NOVEMBER 5, 1904. fice ever held by a mai of his race in this country." by the same Democratic party. These self evident truths and facts ought to be sufficient to convince the most doubtful that the leaders of the Democratic party in many sections of the country are perfectly willing to elect Negroes of ability to the highest positions within the gifts of the people, that they do not nominate colored men for office like some of the Republicans do and then turn around and refuse to support them. Moreover, in the case of Mr. Matthews, ought to cause the Negroes everywhere to stop and propound the question to themselves, "Have we not closed our eyes and ears for many years and permitted the leaders of the Republican party to inject into our minds many false ideas pertaining to the Democratic party and its leaders?" Proceeding it is also well-to bear it in mind that the first colored man to be elected Coroner by any political party was elected by the Democrats of Detroit, Mich., and at the present time according to The Star, the leading colored Republican newspaper of Newport News, Va., "there are several Negroes holding elective offices in that flourishing Southern city by the suffrage of white Democrats," and that the last "Democratic state convention of North Carolina passed a resolution favoring equal education for the two races." Let us in concluding these articles turn for a few moments to the far South and see what the many leaders of the Democratic party are doing for the Negro—in doing so we will quote from a series of articles which have been contributed to the press by Attorney J. N. Johnson, of Texas, entitled, "Justice to Both the Negroes and the Whites." Mr. Johnson is a Negro and he is and always has been a very strong Republican therefore his utterances are worthy of our serious consideration. "There are men in the Democratic party who can always be depended on to raise their voices in behalf of the Negro. Every Southern State has them by hundreds and i suppose Northern states too. The writer is best acquainted in his own state, Texas, and no set of circumstances could prevent me from giving all whites due credit for what they do for the colored man. Congressman Sayers, now Governor of Texas, Ex-Congressman Pendleton, Hutcheson and Stewart, Ex-Governors Ireland, Ross and Hogg, Judge John Henderson of the Supreme Court of Appeals, some of whom lost a limb in the rebel army are simon-pure Democrats, but are and have been ever ready to give ear to Negroes' complaints and aid their real interests. I will tell you something. These men, Major Sayers, Capt. Hutcheson and the late Charles Stewart, his law partner and predecessor, were champions for Negro defense in the courts of Texas." "Major Sayers, placed over a dozen Negro Reupublicans of Texas in positions in Washington where they could and did qualify themselves in the professions of medicine and law, and who did not even ask those same men to vote for him or work for him. Major Sayers and Governor Pendleton put them in, and they were the first and only Texas Negroes getting appointments in Washington since the days of our creation and Major Sayers as head of a committee in a Democratic Congress favored a large appropriation to the Howard University law school, to enable Negro lawyers to train free at government expenses, and when the same appropriation hung fire in the Republican House of the Fifty-fourth Congress openly espoused it by the speech of his life, and willingly accepted the designation of champion of Negro rights, and won. The late Gov. Ireland and ex-Gov. Ross, while governor, were ready to receive, reason with and aid the colored citizens, and to pardon and commute sentences of Negro prisoners in proper cases. Is this the kind of Democrats to oppose? None of these men have received colored votes against Republicans. I do know, however, that men occupying Republican seats in Congress today, who were elected on Democratic votes, the said Democrats voting for Republican congressmen, while Republicans voted for local Democracy. I also know that Negro Republican managers and whites ones, too, have arranged combinations in localities to further the interests of said leaders that were openly and clearly against the interests of the colored man in those places." Mr. Johnson also says: "It is the duty of the Negro to link his fortune with the best people residing in his respective community, and by so doing it will have the effect of setting at rest the cry of Negro rule, and the Negro must be educated up to defend his rights intelligently with a single eye to his own real interests, and all will be well." If the Negro will only do this and assume an air of political independence, conduct himself like a good, moral and upright citizen, then many of the obstacles which now impede his progress will disappear as silently and as noiselessly as the peaceful river which flows on and on between its banks without a murmur into the waveless sea! Lastly and finally, we still maintain that there is no logical reason why the Negro should solidly aline himself with any political party, therefore we most earnestly beseech the Negro to blot from his memory all the old musty traditions of the past respecting the Democratic and the Republican parties, and let us affiliate with the New Democracy, which stands with extended hands and open arms ready and willing to receive you, and inviting you to tread the pathway of human progress by her side. The New Democracy desires that you should become intelligent and study the public questions of the day and act freely and conscientiously thereon. The New Democracy claims you as her child and brother; your home is with her children;; your songs, your tears and your joys have for generations been mingled with hers, and at last your dust will be consigned to mother earth, side by side with the sons and daughters of this New Democracy to wait the unknown events of time and eternity. Then let us dedicate our strength anew for the cause of liberty and justice, and at last: There shall come a time when brotherhood shows stronger than the narrow bounds which now distract the world, when cannons roar and trumpets blare no longer; when ironclads rust and battle flags are furled; when the bars of ocreed and speech and race which sever shall be fused in one humanity forever! The End. JUDGE ALTON B. PARKER AND THE NEGRO. For many years Judge Alton B. Parker has been prominently connected with the Episcopal church at Kingston, N. Y., and a number of colored people are members of that same church and occupy seats by the side of their white brothers and sisters, and it is reliably related that Judge Parker has always been kindly disposed towards them; and when any distinguished citizen like Judge Parker will partake of the Lord's Supper with colored people, it is fair to assume that he is full of the spirit of the old and the new Democracy, and that his warm and sympathetic heart is located in the right place. For our part, we honestly believe from the bottom of our heart that the constitutional rights of all the citizens of this grand and glorious Republic will be safe in the hands of the great Democratic jurist, who believes in adhering to the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments, and if we had one million votes, each and every one of them would be recorded in favor of Judge Alton B. Parker for President of the United States. John C. Dancy, Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, is such an abject slave to the Republican party that he stated while attending the last National Republican convention in this city, when called upon to speak at a public meeting, that "He was first for Colonel Roosevelt and for the race next." That is the way the average colored Republican leader sizes up the situation. The Lily White Republican Senators Refused to Confirm the Appointment of Doctor W. D. Crum as Collector of the Port of Charleston, S. C. Almost two years ago President Roosevelt sent the name of Dr. W. D. Crum into the United States Senate, which, on strict party lines, is twenty-four Republican majority, to be confirmed as collector of the Port of Charleston, S. C., but those Lily White Republican Seiators, who always profess so much love for the Negro, near election times, especially if he resides south of the Mason & Dixon line, have so far, under one shallow pretext or another, refused to confirm the appointment. Some of the Lily White Republican Senators claim that they would be in favor of voting to confirm the appointment of Dr. Crum if it was agreeable to Ben Tillman, although no one has ever openly accused Tillman of being interested in the success of the Republican party; and the last time that Dr. Crum's name came up in the Senate for consideration, Tillman was almost a thousand miles away from the scene of action. Therefore, it is reasonable to infer that whenever the Lily White Republican Senators attempt to dart behind Tillman and hold him up in front of them before the colored people as their reason for refusing to confirm the appointment of Dr. Crum, they stamp themselves as a lot of slippery, low-bred and contemptible gutter-snipe politicians. Strange to say, however, there are many weak-minded and ignorant Negroes who are willing to take stock in such rot. As a matter of fact, President Roosevelt never wanted the appointment of Dr. Crum confirmed. He fully realizes that the vast majority of the colored people are extremely long on sentiment and very short on logic, reason or common sense; and, knowing the Negro so well in this respect, he has simply used the Crum incident to blind his eyes with dust. For, if the President really desired his confirmation, don't you know, kind reader, it would have been done in a jiffy? For every one who is not a blockhead knows that each and every Republican Senator is constantly be- JOHN A. LINN. Some time ago Hon. John G. Jones, who was at that time a member of the Legislature of Illinois, and several other leading colored Republicans, called on John A. Linn, who is a rank Negro holder, with the view of inducing him to employ a competent colored person in his office; but John Linn, who is one of the Lily White leaders of the Republican party, flatly informed Mr. Jones and his associates that "No 'Nigger' was good enough to work in the same office with him." Therefore, let all the Afro-Americans assist to defeat this Negro hater and rascal and vote for Harry Hildreth for Clerk of the Circuit Court, who has pledged his honor to the writer that "in case he is elected one colored man or woman will be employed in his office." independent Candidate for the Legis lature in the First District. The indications are that Charles C. Buell, independent candidate for the Legislature in the First district, comprising the First and Second wards, will be victorious at the polls next Tuesday. Mr. Buell has received the endorsement of the Legislative Voter's League, and it urges all men in that district who favor clean and honest politics, and who are desirous of having a capable man of the highest integrity to represent the First district in the Legislature, to present a solid No. 2 seeching the President to bestow favors upon their henchmen in the various sections of the country; and, if the President was honest in his support of Dr. Crum, he would have put his foot down and emphatically declared: "I will not turn a wheel nor bestow any patronage upon your henchmen until you assist to confirm the appointment of Dr. Crum and set me right before the colored people!" Did the President take this bold stand in the Crum affair? He did not. But every time that he sent his name into the Senate word would go down the line to his favorite mouthpieces to defeat his confirmation, as he only wanted to use the incident as campaign thunder among the colored people. In all sincerity, there is nothing in the Crum affair, and the President's relation to it, to justify or to warrant every Negro to cast his vote for him; and we must remember that President Grover Cleveland sent the name of J. C. Matthews to the Senate to be confirmed as Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, and three or four times the Lily White Republican Senators refused to confirm him, for no other reason whatever except that he was a Negro Democrat. No one at that time and no one since that time has ever maintained that such an act on the part of President Cleveland was conclusive proof that all Negroes should vote for him and the Democratic party, and the same chain of reasoning holds good in the case of Dr. Crum and President Roosevelt. In conclusion, there is only one inference to arrive at, and that is. If Ben Tillman is more powerful in the United States Senate—which is twenty-four Republican majority—than any other living being, then it is self-evident that the Republican party has outlived its usefulness; that it is incapable of managing the affairs of this country, and that it ought to be more than willing to permit some other political party to run the government. front and record their votes for Charles C. Buell. The divorce case of Maggie Nelson against William Nelson is still engaging the attention of the courts, and much dirt linen is being washed in the public view. Judge Philip Stein is very popular among the Afro-Americans of this city and county, and many of them are distributing his cards among their friends and urging them to roll up a large majority in his favor. Thomas Nelson Page, who emphatically declared in McClure's Magazine for May, that "No colored girl above the age of 14 is virtuous, and that colored women generally are immoral." is enthusiastic in his support of Colonel Roosevelt for President, for Thomas Nelson Page is positive that the President was right when he stated, that "Negro soldiers could or would not fight without white officers." John P. Hopkins, formerly chairman of the Democratic State Committee of Illinois; Charles Bosseckenstein, the present active and hustling chairman of the committee; D. J. Hogan, its hard-working secretary, and Roger C. Sullivan, member of the Democratic National Committee, are all in high spirits over the bright outlook for the success of the entire Democratic ticket in this State, and they firmly believe that this is a Democratic year, and that Judge Alton B. Parker will be the next President of the United States. PUBLISHED WEEKLY.

The Republican Senatorial convention made a good and happy selection in the person of P. J. McShane, to honorably and ably represent all the people in the Fourth Senatorial district in the next State Senate, for he is an old resident in the Town of Lake and has paid taxes in it for sixteen years. Mr. McShane is a devoted member of St. Anne's church, Garfield boulevard and Wentworth avenue, and its good and just pastor, Rev. Father Flanagan, would be delighted to see him elected to the State Senate. He stands well in the Republican party, and was a member of the Steering Committee at Springfield which brought about the nomination of Charles S. Deneen for Governor of Illinois. The city press and the Legislative Voters' League have both highly indorsed his candidacy for State Senator. Mr. McShane believes in fair play, which is more than can be said in favor of his leading opponent, Michael McInerney, who was hell bent to have Ben Tillman to speak in the Stock Yards district, for the sole purpose of insulting and abusing the respectable colored people residing in the Thirtleth ward and in the Town of Lake; and if any decent colored man, Democrat or Republican, will vote for McInerney as against P. J. McShane, who is friendly disposed to the race, it simply means that they are willing to vote against their best interest and sell their votes for a cheap drink of whisky. JAMES J. GRAY.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT From the earliest period in American history down to the present time, the writer has failed to note wherein any other President of the United States aside from President Roosevelt who thoroughly believes that in many cases, mob and lynch law is healthy for the community and who advocates or is in favor of speedy justice. In Col. Roosevelts works entitled, "The Winning of the West," Vol.1, page 132, it is asserted by the Rough Riding President, that "In many of the cases of lynch law which have come to my knowledge, the effect has been healthy for the community." Here is a President who believes in the worst form lawlessness, which can fasten itself upon the people—a form which has brought untold agony and misery on the Negro. Notwithstanding this fact, Col. Roosevelt is thoroughly inoculated with the idea, that without the least questioning every Afro-American should bow down and worship at his feet and instead of him countenancing mob and lynch law in the slightest degree, he should sternly, set his face against it. Col. Roosevelt has within the past year caught up many ignorant Afro-Americans in the froth and foam of his letter to Gov. Durbin of Indiana, on "The Evil Effects of Mob and Lynch Law," which he approves of in his works quoted. In that letter, he unmistakably begged the question, by contending for speedy justice or a speedy trial for the individual who is accused of committing the nameless crime. Recently in refusing to interfere in the court sentence of John W. Burley, a Negro, who was confined in the jail of the District of Columbia, convicted for assaulting a little girl, the President assumed the position, that in all such cases swift justice is important and that the "law's delay fosters the lynching spirit." He therefore refused to consider the application for commutation of Burley's death sentence to life imprisonment, on the ground, that he was not insane but was in the full possession of all his reasoning faculties, although no one has ever heard of Col. Roosevelt receiving a diploma from any medical college as an expert on the mental condition of the minds of those who are accused or convicted for committing crimes. There is not the slightest disposition on our part to question the right of the President not to interfere in behalf of Burley, but we do object to him in endeavoring to convey the impression that the Negro is more prone to commit the crime of rape than men of other nationalities, which is untrue, and which is as false as hell itself, for every year more than one hundred Colored men, women and children are mobbed and lynched, and comparatively only a few of these victims who are constantly being slaughtered on the altar of race prejudice, have ever been charged with committing the crime of rape, and the President should possess sense enough to be conversant with these facts. In his former letters respecting mob and lynch law and speedy justice, he strongly intimated that "The Negroes should transform themselves into blood-hounds and assist to run down all the criminals belonging to the race." But it never occurred to the President that the Negro pays direct and indirect taxes for the purpose of maintaining white officials to execute the laws of the land, and it is not incumbent upon the Negro to neglect his own business in order to perform the sworn duties of the officers of the law. Here are the President's views on swift or speedy justice: Swift Justice Needed. The crime in question is one of the existence of which we largely owe the existence of that spirit of lawlessness which takes form in lynching. It is a crime so revolting that the criminal is not entitled to one particle of sympathy from any human being. It is essential that the punishment for it should be not only as certain but as swift as possible. The jury in this case did their duty by recommending the infliction of the death penalty. "It is to be regretted that we do not have special provision for more summary dealing with this type of cases. The more we do what in us lies to secure certain and swift justice in dealing with these cases the more effectively do we work against the growth of that lynching spirit which is so full of evil even for this people, because it seeks to avenge one infamous crime by the commission of another of equal infamy." It is our opinion, that sentiments like the above should not eminate from the President of the United States. He fails to take into consideration the feat; while contending for a speedy trial of the individual who is accused of committing the crime, he is simply yielding to the clamor of the mob spirit and that if the accused person is to be rushed into death right away without giving him ample time to prove his guilt or innocence; it would be in the first place just as well to permit the members of the mob; who are always hot for blood to carry out its diobolical work, and the courts would not be compelled to assassinate its victims in short order, and by advocating speedy or swife justice it simply encourages lawlessness and it is an incentive for mobs to force the courts to do their bidding and if the verdicts rendered by the courts fail to suit the anrachist and law breakers, then they might make up their minds to redden their hands in the blood of the judges. So President Roosevelt ought to be able to see, that in the long run, it is far better to let the law take its own course even if two or three months or one year should elapse, before the violators of the law are brought into for trial. Therefore let President Roosevelt cease from writing long winded letters or opinions in favor of swift or speedy justice for one or two classes of crimes, and urge congress when it convenes to enact a law empowering the Federal Government to hang or shoot to death every person who aids or encourages individuals to resort to mob and lynch law.

Shows the Fraud of It. How the tariff operates and the trusts give our own people the worst of it can hardly be better illustrated than in the case of steel rails sold in Canada and the United States. There is a railway which runs along the border between the two countries, sometimes in its course being on this side and sometimes across the border. It is remarkable that rails for use on the Canadian part of the railway are sold for $21 a ton, while those for use on the American side cost the same road $28 a ton. This is the case of one road. The New York Central is another railway which has to undergo the same experience illustrative of the inequalities of the protective tariff system, and how it operates against the very people it proposes to protect.

Mayer is well known in all parts of this city and county. He is one of Chicago’s most Progressive men, and his reputation for honesty in his dealings with his fellow men cannot be called into question. His candidacy for President of the Board of County Commissioners has been most flatteringly indorsed by The Chicago Tribune, and by all the other leading daily and weekly newspapers throughout the city and county. Many of the most influential labor organizations have also indorsed his candidacy, and he will be the next President of the Board of Commission- ers of Cook county. we” ; te 7 4 I af | : my : : He es See Republican candidate for coronerof Cook county, who is exceedingly popular with the masses, and thousands of his Democratic and Repubil- can friends believe that he will makea winning race for the office sought by him. Mr. Hoffman has been a member of the Board of County Commission- ers for the past four years, and the fact that he has always been on the right side with the people on all ques-tions affecting their best interests is sufficient proof that in case he is elected coroner he will continue to faith- fully serve all the people in a higher capacity. baie es ee es en oc oa eee en _ ee = < : a at sae pe .

No candidate before the people in the present campaign is more fully and completely entitled to the fullest degree of confidence and no one should have moré hearty and enthusiastic Support at the polls than George Mills Rogers, who is presented as the Demecratic candidate for judge of the Su- perior Court. _ E There is an importance attaching to the office of judge that is not found in any other office within the gift of the people. Every citizen is vitally concerned in seeing to it that our judiciary is not only able but clean, fear- less, of spotiess reputation and of the highest integrity. George Mills Rogers meets all of these requirements as few men do, and so well is this recognized that he is receiving support from members of all Parties to an extent greater than any other candidate for any office to be filled at the coming election. - He has been endorsed by the Bar Association, the vote being strictly on the merits of the candidates and entirely non-partisan. He has also been endorsed by the primary of the entire bar. The press of Chicago, also disregarding politics, gives the highest praise of Mr. Rogers, and urges his election. Mr. Rogers should have the votes of all good citizens who have the in- terests of the whole people at heart, rather than parfy success.

Green is putting up a winning fight in the First Senatorial district, and he will be a member of the next Legislature of Illinois. Attorney Charles H. Mitchell, candidate for judge of the Superior Court, is growing more popular each day with the people as the campaign progresses. Benjamin M. Mitchell will come in under the wires as a winner on election day, and as usual he will represent his district in the next legislature of Illinois. County Commissioner Timothy Cruise has in the past voted and worked for the best interest of the people, and they will stand by him on election day. Friday evening a meeting was held at 4902 State street in the interest of Congressman George P. Foster. The meeting was well attended and it was addressed by L. W. Washington, R. A.

Gray Lucas, Room 611-167 Dearborn street: "I simply want to say that your articles on 'The Democratic Party and the Negro' are well written, and they are full of historical facts, and I am cutting them out and pasting them in my scrap-book." Congressman George P. Foster has by his affable manner and splendid record in the past made many friends among the Afro-American voters in the Fourth Congressional district, who are doing everything in their power to further his re-election. There is no mistake about it but that scratching is a good thing at certain times, and we hope that all the voters will scratch John A. Linn next Tuesday and vote for Harry Hildreth, who will be the next clerk of the Circuit Court. Rev. Abraham Lincoln Murray has bid farewell to Chicago, for last Saturday morning in the midst of many of the sisters of Bethel church and his other lady friends, who were shedding tears, he took his departure for Atlantic City, N. J., where he will be in charge of one of the best and largest churches in the A. M. E. connection. Last Sunday afternoon the teachers and officers of Grace Presbyterian Sabbath school presented Mr. Albert B. George with a handsome Oxford Bible, it being his birthday. Little Miss Corinne Wilson, on behalf of the primary department, presented him with a large bunch of yellow chrysanthemums. Hon. George Mills Rogers, like his father before him, has always been an unswerving friend of the colored race, and aside from his legal attainments for one of the judgeships that is one reason why thousands of Afro-Americans will record their votes on next Tuesday in favor of his election as one of the Superior Court judges of Cook county. ROLLING THE FARMER. Missouri's Letter Drops Into the Old Republican Presence. The Republican party has for years been trying to devalue the farmer and the workingman into the ballet that the recent tariff maker them better fit; that is, that it makes the American wage earner or farmer richer to pay higher taxes—taxes on all that he wages, his tools, on his agricultural machinery, on the nails and wood that go into his house, his bed, his table and his coffin, on his swaddling clothes, his wedding garments and his shroud. It is pure pretence that fifty-two per cent. of the American farmers' goods are used as the manufacturer's new material. It is characteristic of the President's letter of acceptance that he does not say that raw cotton makes more than half of the products of the farm used in this way, and there is no reason why this fact should have been omitted unless the assertion would have made the whole statement false.

JUDGE CHARLES B. THOMAS. Judge Charles B. Thomas, of McLeansboro, Democratic candidate for state treasurer, was left fatherless when he was but 6 years old, leaving him to make his way in the world by his own efforts, and by a hard struggle with adversity he, at the age of 17, had secured a good common school education. He began teaching school in the winter and attending college in the summer seasons until he finished his literary course, when he took up the study of law, was admitted to the bar in 1895 and elected judge of Hamilton county in 1898. He is now serving his second term as judge and was nominated for a second term by a 2 to 1 majority without leaving his office to canvass, and was elected by a large majority over his Republican opponent, running far ahead of his ticket in every township in the county. He is well acquainted and very popular in the FRED B. MERRILLS. Fred B. Merrills, of Belleville, Ill., Democratic candidate for member of the board of trustees of the Illinois State University, is a lawyer and a very successful business man. Mr. Merrills was born on a farm near Belleville, attended a country school and later the Belleville city schools and finally the Southern Illinois normal school at Carbondale. At 19 years of age he began teaching a country school and for four years taught in the country and was then employed to teach for two years in the Belleville schools. Mr. Merrills studied law and [Name] FRED B. MERRILLS, Candidate for University Trustee. in 1890 was admitted to the bar of Illinois. He has never before been a candidate for office, but has been an earnest and hard working Democrat since arriving at his majority. Mr. Merrillis is a married man and has two sons who will attend the University of Illinois, and for this reason he will take a very active interest in the welfare of that institution. Every taxpayer who believes in electing honorable men for this position should vote for Mr. Merrillis. THE TARiff A SUSSIDY. Grinds the Poor by Vastly Increasing Cost of Living. At one of the hearings before the marine commission Representative Grosvenor said: "Subsidy is a frightful word!" And yet he immediately began to plead for aid to the shipping industry and tell the Detroit people that the city's lines of communication were due to subsidies "and the question now is whether the great system that has built up your inland trade may not demonstrate some plan by which congress can accomplish equally good results on the high seas." Grosvenor was always generous with other people's money. He would vote for a subsidy or procure a pension for Satan if he was a voter in the Eleventh Ohio district. The protective tariff law is but a multiplicity of subsidies to the trusts and manufacturers when the rate of duty is beyond what will produce enough revenue to provide for the necessary expenses of the government. Although every Republican congress- south end of the state, where he is known and recognized as one of the best lawyers, business men and judges on the bench in his section of the state. His work and conduct on the bench show him to be thoroughly qualified. While at the bar he has few equals as a trial lawyer, he takes a great interest in the business of farming; has some good farm lands of his own and is now president of the Hamilton County Farmers' Institute and always gets a very large vote from the county, regardless of politics. He has been doing business for himself from his childhood and his advice on a legal or business proposition is considered safe by all who know him. He is an untiring campaigner and is one of the best vote-getters and public speakers in Southern Illinois. He will be recognized as an orator wherever he may go in the campaign, second to none, and if elected will make Illinois a safe state treasurer. man does not plead for ship subsidy, yet they all vote, work and plead for tariff subsidies that vastly increase the cost of living. WHO WILL YOU SUPPORT? Are you, Mr. Voter, going to vote for Charles S. Deneen, who thoroughly endorses the regime of Governor Richard Yates? Stop and think! Why not vote for Lawrence B. Stringer, the Democratic candidate for governor, who says: "I solemnly pledge, promise and declare, that if elected governor of Illinois, I shall use every effort within my power and every energy of which I am possessed to secure the passage and enforcement of a general merit law. And if such a law cannot and is not passed, I pledge myself to administer the affairs of the several boards and institutions of this state in accordance with the well known principles of civil service reform." TO AN ARMY MULE. You'd better mind your p's and q's, You worn-out army mule. You'd better run if Roosevelt Again begins to rule. For times are tight and getting tighter; The future's black, instead of brighter, And empty stomachs now prevail. Ef you don't hit a lonesome trail They'll catch you and they'll beat you, And they'll chase you all about, Then hungry men will eat you Ef You Don't Watch Out. Davis of West Virginia. The Republican press is profoundly concerned about the Democratic vice presidential candidate on two scores. It regrets his advanced age more than words can tell and is already beginning to admit the possibility that if elected he may not outlive his term of office and also to suggest that his would be too aged a hand to hold the helm of state should he be called upon to assume the presidential chair. Secondly, it is pained that he should be a man of wealth, worth, they say, about $30,000,000, instead of one of more moderate fortune. There is a vague suggestion in the editorials that have come to our eye that a vice presidential candidate ought not to have that much money and that the Democratic party has somehow surrendered its principles by nominating him.—New Orleans Picayune. The Dialogue at the White House. "You are familiar, Mr. Payn, with what I wrote in the 'Streauque Life' about politicians of your stripe?" "Sure." "You have read what I had to say in 'American Ideals' about fighting fellows of your kidney to the death?" "Not your life." "Very well. What do you think of it now?" "Just what I always did. Nothing but hot air." "You are a sensible man. Now, sit down and tell me if Odell is pulling straight and how much you are going to need to keep your crowd in line for me."—New York Evening Post.
