WHILE THE GREAT JEFF PRESIDENT OF THE U Grover Cleveland, Ex-President of the United States, folded his arms in death, and closed his eyes for a long, peaceful sleep early Wednesday morning at his beautiful home, Princeton, N. J. At the time of his death he was 71 years of age, being born March 18, 1837, at Caldwell, Essex county, N. J. The first Cleveland of his family to come to America was Moses. Cleveland an Englishman, who came from lipswich, England, to Woburn, Mass., in 1635. The family lived in New England for many years and Richard F. Cleveland, Mr. Cleveland's father, was graduated from Yale in 1824, entering the Presbyterian ministry five years later. He married Miss Anne Neal, the daughter of Abner Neal, a Baltimore publisher of Irish ancestry. The parsonage at Caldwell where Grover Cleveland was born was first occupied by the Rev. Stephen Grover, in whose honor he was named Stephen Grover Cleveland, though the first name was dropped early. Like all self-made men, Mr. Cleveland had to endure many hardships while he was struggling upwards. When he was four years old his family moved to Fayetteville, Onondaga county, N. Y., where he graduated from the local academy in 1849, being admitted to membership in the Presbyterian church the same year at the ripe age of 12. For a year or so he worked as a clerk in the village grocery store. In 1833 the Clevelands moved to Holland Patent, near Utica, where his father died soon afterward. His brother William was then employed as an instructor in the institution for the blind in that city at Thirty-fourth street and Ninth avenue, and the future president also got a place there as a teacher and hold it for a year. Wishing to improve his condition by moving further west he borrowed $25 from a friend and started for Cleveland, believing, he afterward said, that there was luck in the name. But he only got as far as Buffalo, where his uncle, Lewis F. Allen, got him to help in the compilation of his "American Shorthorn Herd Book." In August, 1855, he entered the law office of Rogers, Bowen & Rogers, and four years later was admitted to the bar, remaining for three years more as managing clerk for the same firm. Mr. Cleveland, from his boyhood days, had always taken an active interest in politics, and in 1863, he was appointed assistant district attorney of Erie county, which office he held for several years. In 1865 he became the Democratic candidate for district attorney, but was beaten by his Republican opponent, Lymon K. Bass. The next year he formed a partnership with Maj. Isaac V. Vanderpool, which lasted until 1869 when he became associated with the law firm of E. P. Lanning and Oscar Folsom, and by continuing to dabble in politics, he was elected sheriff of Erie county in 1870. At the expiration of his three years' term as sheriff of Erie country, he formed a law partnership with his personal friend and political antagonist, Lymon K. Bass, the firm Bass, Cleveland & Bissell, and in 1881 Mr. Cleveland became the Democratic candidate for mayor of Buffalo, New York, and he was elected by almost four thousand majority. He was by far the best mayor that that city has ever had, and he was ever watchful of the best interest of all its citizens. It might be said at this point to the undying credit of Mr. Cleveland, that two of his brothers fought in the Union army, and he being the only support of his widowed mother and sisters, he remained at home-to comfort them, and being unable to enlist himself, he borrowed money and sent a substitute to the war, and it was long after the war before he earned enough money to repay the loan. September 22, 1882, Mr. Cleveland was nominated on the third bailot by the Democratic state convention of New York, to make the race for Governor of that state, and at the election in November of that year he defeated his Republican opponent, Charles J. Folger, and was elected by 192.854 majority. He made a model governor, administering all its laws fair and square for the full benefit of all its people. He abolished the separate school system, thereby enabling Colored children to attend any free public school within that state on the same footing with white children. July 8, 1884, the Democratic National convention convened in Chicago, and on July 11, after many stormy scenes and much bitterness on the part of some of the New York delegates, Mr. Cleveland was nominated to make the race for president of the United States in opposition to James G. Blaine, the "Thumed Knight of Maine," and throughout that memor- CHICAGO, JUNE 27, 1908. able presidential year, the Republican orators "waved the bloody shirt" and made the poor, ignorant Colored people believe that "in case Cleveland and Hendricks should be elected and Blaine and Logan were defeated, that they, the Colored people, would be sold back into slavery," and J. C. Matthews, who, through the influence of Mr. Cleveland, became Judge of the Recorder's Court of Albany, New York, and many other Colored men, came near being mobbed and lynched for attempting to raise their voice in behalf of the election of Mr. Cleveland, and when it was finally decided that James G. Blaine had marched on to defeat and that Grover Cleveland had marched on to victory. The class of Colored people already referred to became very apprehensive and uneasy and remained so until after Mr. Cleveland delivered his first inaugural address, in which he referred to the political status of the Colored people in the following manner: Prior to 1885 every barch of the government had been under the absolute control of the Republican party for twenty-four years, notwithstanding this fact, Grover Cleveland by the distinguished honor of being the first President of the United States to select a Colored man to serve minister to a white Republic (Livia), and the late C. H. J. Taylors was chosen to serve in that capacity. J. M. Trotter, T. McCaint Stewart, John H. Durham, Alexander Clark, C. Smith, C. C. Astwood, James Matthews, and many other Colored men were appointed to sponsible positions under both President Cleveland's administration the first Negro clerk, foreman works, and pressman to be employed and put to work in the Government Printing Office, was by President Cleveland and his Public Print Thomas E. Benedict, who was a Deocrat of the first water. Albert Hawkins, the old Color coachman, who had driven all the "In the administration of a government pledged to do, equal and exact justice to all men there should be no pretext for anxiety touching the protection of the freedom in their rights or their security in the enjoyment of their privileges under the constitution and its amendments. All discussion as to their fitness for the place accorded to them as American citizens is idle and unprofitable, except as it suggests the necessity for their improvement. The fact that they are citizens entitles them to all the rights due for that relation and charges them with all its duties, obligations, and responsibilities." These noble sentiments had the effect of quieting the Colored people to a great extent, and they refrained from regarding him as their natural foe and enemy, and with their ears and eyes wide open they watched all of his official acts in relation to them, and without any trouble they learned that Mr. Cleveland was not above appointing Colored men to office which they had never held before, that he was the first President to select a Colored man to serve as postmaster north of the Mason and Dixon line, 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, and he received it from the hands of President Cleveland. Three Colored men were also appointed by him to serve as postmasters in Old Virginia, and one at Goldsboro, Florida. Prior to 1885 every barrch of this government had been under the absolute control of the Republican party for twenty-four years, notwithstanding this fact, Grover Cleveland has the distinguished honor of being the first President of the United States to select a Colored man to serve as minister to a white Republic (Bolivia), and the late C. H. J. Taylor, was chosen to serve in that capacity. J. M. Trotter, T. McCaint Stewart, John H. Durham, Alexander Clark, H. C. Smith, C. C. Astwood, James C. Matthews, and many other worthy Colored men were appointed to responsible positions under both of President Cleveland's administrations, the first Negro clerk, foreman of works, and pressman to be employed and put to work in the Government Printing Office, was by President Cleveland and his Public Printer, Thomas E. Benedict, who was a Democrat of the first water. Albert Hawkins, the old Colored coachman, who had driven all the presidents from Abraham Lincoln, down to President Harrison, was deprived of his time-honored position by the Hoosier President, and one of President Cleveland's first official acts was to hunt up Hawkins and restore him to his old position, declaring at the same time that "Hawkins was good enough to drive President Lincoln and his family and he is plenty good enough to drive for me and my family." And all in all, more Colored men and women entered the government service under his administration than under all of his Republican predecessors combined. June 2, 1886, President Cleveland was united in marriage to Miss Frances Clara Folsom, at the White House, and on June 15th, he celebrated the happy event by giving a diplomatic dinner and grand reception at the White House. The Washington Post, in its issue of June 16 gave an elaborate account of that brilliant 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 Sheridan. There were also the Justices of the Supreme Court and Senators of both parties and many other eminent citizens and social leaders. "Am'd this glittering throng, mingling Echoes of the Republican National Convention JUDSON W. LYONS VOTED AGAINST SEATING THE COLORED DELEGATES FROM THE SOUTHERN STATES IN ORDER TO PLEASE HIS WHITE POLITICAL MASTERS. SENATOR WARNER SELECTED AS CHAIRMAN OF THE NOTIFICATION COMMITTEE. NO COLORED MAN CHOSEN TO SERVE ON THE COMMITTEE OF NOTIFICATION. LUKE E. WRIGHT, AN UNRECONSTRUCTED EX-REBEL AND JEFFERSON DAVIS DEMOCRAT. HAS BEEN SELECTED TO SUCCEED WILLIAM H. TAFT AS SECRETARY OF WAR. Th Republican National Convention of 1908, has pasted into history and its raw acts with its steam roller can never be changed. From the beginning to the end of the convention it was clearly evident that "the G. O. P. of God and Rascality is fast drifting into illy-whiteism, as positive proof of this glaring fact in all the former Republican conventions, no less than 75 to 125 Afro-Americans were in evidence as delegates, but the Republican National convention of 1908, did not contain more than 20 to 30 Colored delegates and some of them were awarded only a half vote. The others were unseated under some hook or crook so fast that it would make your head swim, even Judson W. Lyons, the only Negro member of the Republican National committee, was forced to vote in favor of unseating Prof R. R. Wright of Georgia, and the other Colored delegates, from the South, who were honestly entitled to seats in the convention in order to stand in with his illy-white masters. It is true that on the last day of the convention and the last hour of its existence its chairman Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, who has never shown the least bit of love for the Negro, called Franklin A. Denison, who delights to boast that "he does not mix up with Colored people, unless he can deliver a speech to them, or can use them in some way" to the chair for a few minutes, and permitted him to show his teeth and grin at Mayor Fred Busse, his political master. This cut and dried plan to have Major Denison, to occupy Senator Lodge's chair for one or two minutes, was intended to throw dust in the eyes of the Negro, and to cause him to forget, all about the many insults and injustice heaped upon him during the convention, in the way of unseating the Colored delegates from the Southern states and so on. But as the Negro delights to look upon himself as the mental and po- ity, moved Frederick Douglass and his wife." It will be found in reading over the history of this country that Grover Cleveland was the first President that had the courage to invite a Negro and his wife to attend a similar function at the White House. In 1888, in company with Mrs. Taylor, it was our pleasure to meet Mr. Cleveland face to face in the White House, the great Jeffersonian Democratic President cordially received us, leading the way himself, into the East parlor, where we had the honor of being presented to Mrs. Cleveland who was very gracious in litical slave of the Republican party, he deems it a high honor, to be insulted, cuffed and kicked around by its lily-white leaders, who will continue to do so until the thick political scales fall from the eyes of the Negro and until he wakes up and learns that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and other great men like them, who at one time dominated and controlled the Republican party, have been dead for almost forty years, and the sentiments which they entertained as to the civil and political status of the Negro, perished with them as far as the Republican party is concerned. As further evidence that lily-whiteism, is in the saddle in the Republican party, United States Senator William Warner of Missouri, made a savage attack in the Senate, on the three dishonorably discharged companies belonging to the 25th Regiment and the Negro race in general, has been selected as chairman of the committee, to notify William H. Taft, of his nomination for President of the United States. Senator Lodge, who also fought against restoring the honors to the members of the 25th Regiment which belonged to them and to uphold President Roosevelt in his infamous and damnable discharge order, was very careful to see to it, that no Negro was selected to serve on the Taft notification committee. Luke E. Wright an unreconstructed ex-rebel of Tennessee, who has always posed as a Jefferson Davis Democrat, and who misgoverned the Philippine Islands so badly, that President Roosevelt was forced to recall him, and who has always been delighted to display, his prejudice against the Negro, has been selected to succeed William H. Taft as Secretary of War. This should be refreshing news to the Negro and he should need no other proof than these incidents to convince him, otherwise than that the Republican party is fast drifting into lily-whiteism! her manner, and after being escorted through the public part of the White House, and attending one of the afternoon receptions, and on the eve of our departure, Mrs. Cleveland ordered Albert Hawkins who was very loud in his praise of President and Mrs. Cleveland, to bring forth a lovely bouquet for Mrs. Taylor. The passing away of Mr. Cleveland is a great loss to this mighty nation, for he was one of its best and greatest statesmen, honest and fearless to the backbone, and as the years roll on into eternity his name will never become dim in the memories of those who dearly love liberty and justice.

HOW TO HANDLE JOHNIE. The Fourth of July is a glorious day, but it has its drawbacks. It is a day of noise, hilarity and woe. Woe for the small boy who is the victim of a premature discharge of a toy cannon or an exploded fire-cracker held in the hand. It is a busy day for both parents and children. Incidentally the fire department, the police and the family physician are not idle. Fourth of July injuries are productive of what might almost be called an epidemic of tetanus, or what is more commonly known and perhaps much better understood, lockjaw. The germ that produces tetanus or lockjaw is found in street dirt, around stables and under people's finger nails. The peculiarity of the tetanus germ is that it is not dangerous except when it gets into the circulation, and when it does, the consequences are terrible. When Johnie gets hurt, don't tie up the wound—call a physician. If a physician cannot be obtained promptly, leave the wound open until it can be properly dressed and attended to by your family doctor. The tetanus germ is inactive so long as it exposed to the air, but when carried beneath the skin and buried in the flesh, as in the wounds caused by percussion caps, blank cartridges, rusty nails, etc., it then becomes active and produces in a short time lockjaw and death. The Department of Health recommends the use of and will supply tetanus antitoxin for the treatment of all suspicious injuries during the two weeks preceding and the two weeks following the Fourth of July. Applications for this tetanus may be made through physician. Parents are urged to co-operate with the city officials in making the Fourth as quiet and sane as possible. It would be wise to restrict the children in the use of the explosives and have them get along with the smallest quantity possible. They will be better off and it will contribute to the quiet and peace of the city. Take the children to the parks or, better still, board a trolley car and go out into the country with your full lunch baskets; roll in the grass, play games and cut out the fire-crackers and explosives altogether. It is not expected that this advice will be followed in all its entirety, but all the same it is good advice—"P." THE LIFE OF AN EDITOR. The editor of today has got to get his nose down to the grindstone and keep it there about sixteen hours per day, or he falls by the wayside. Other men work Saturday night and rest until Monday morning; they lay aside business cares at 5 or 6 o'clock every evening, and do not resume them again until 7 or 8 o'clock the next morning.

BRYAN AGAIN FIRES ON G. O. P. PLATFORM. Asserts That It is a Silent Repudiation of President Roosevelt and His Policies and Points to Defects as He Sees Them. Praise for President All Idle, Nebraskan Declares. Says the Negroes Get Their Usual Dose of Taffy and Wonders Why Democrats Are Not Given Credit for Aiding White House. Lincoln, Neb. June 28.—"The platform is a silent repudiation of nearly every promise of reform that the President and his followers have given the country. This is the chief declaration in the third installment of W. J. Bryan's rapid-fire arraignment of the Republican national platform, given to the public today. Like the two previous shots fired at the Chicago platform, the latest will appear in the Commander of this week. In his third attack Mr. Bryan mingles biting sarcasm with ferocity. Marvels at Platform Praise. "Why so much time to applauding the President (in the platform) and so little attention to the specific indorsement of the things he (the President) has advocated?" asks Mr. Bryan, sarcastically. "Nothing is said about the conspiracy of Republican Senators to defeat the rafiroad rate bill," he says in another paragraph aimed at the platform. "Then the platform condemns the Democratic filibuster, which was carried on for the purposes of compelling the Republicans to carry out the President's recommendations," Mr. Bryan says again. Mr. Bryan also goes after the Negro plank, declaring that it is the usual election year sop, and says that the Negro is interested in economic reforms as well as race rights. Says Roosevelt is Repudiated. The Commoner editorial is as follows: "Have you read the Republican platform? If not, you ought to read it. The contest in the Republican party between the reformer and standpatter is for the present at an end, with the standpatter in the saddle. The platform is a silent repudiation of nearly every promise of reform that the President and his followers have given to the country. It begins with an eulogy of the President. 'In no other period since the days of Lincoln,' according to the platform, 'has there been such mighty progress in those ideals of government which make for justice, equalpirations of the American people.' 'Their highest aspirations of the American people have found a voice.' 'A reflection is here implied that Republican Presidents have failed to furnish a voice for "highest aspirations of the American people."' 'Their most exalted servant represents the best aims and worthiest purposes of all his countrymen. American manhood has been lifted to a noble sense of duty and obligation.' Empty Praise to Roosevelt. "Without asking why the Republican party has held office and divided the official salaries among its participants so long without giving us a President who represented 'the best aims and worthiest purposes of the people'; without asking why no other Republican President in recent days 'has lifted American manhood to a noble sense of duty and obligation,' we may ask why it is that the Republican convention spends so much time applauding the President and gives so little information." that the platform expresses no gratitude to the Democratic members and Senators for supporting him when the Republicans deserted him. Not only does the platform fall to give the Democratic credit for helping the President in every effort to lift up American manhood to 'noble sense of duty and obligation,' but it actually condemns the filibuster which the Democratic minority instituted and carried on for the express purpose of compelling Republicans to carry out the President's recommendations. Mr. Williams, leader of the minority, time and again called upon the Republicans to furnish thirty votes in support of the President's policies and pledged the Democratite minority to furnish the remaining number of votes necessary to carry out several of the President's recommendations and yet the men who wrote The platform presume upon the ignorance of the public and complain that the filibuster prevented the enactment of 'many wholesome and progressive laws.' The Currency Bill and Congress. "The writers of the platform 'especially commend the passage of the emergency bill'—a bill which combined two features, one of which had been rejected by the Senate, and the other by the House. So long as there was a chance for a discussion there was sufficient Republican opposition to condemn both features of the bill, but under the influence of a few financiers the bill was rushed through the closing hours with all of the bad features restored and all of the good ones eliminated. How proud the Republican bosses in the Senate and House must feel to have their work thus indorsed by a Republican national convention. "The plank demanding a permanent change in the currency system is general enough to permit the Republican orators to advocate in each section of the country the system most popular there, and sufficiently indefinite to enable Congress to do whatever it pleases, or nothing, without violating any pledge. Trust Plank Not Specific. "The trust plank must prove a disappointment to every Republican who has come to understand the iniquity of the trusts. There is no demand for a rigid enforcement of the law; there is no suggestion that the criminal clause, which has not yet brought the trust malefactor within the walls of a penitentiary, should be called into use. The platform says that the law can be strengthened by amendments which will enlarge the supervision of the general government, but these amendments are not mentioned, and there is nothing in this plank of the platform that can be appealed to to secure any real improvement in the law. If the President, with all of his strenuosity, has not been able to enforce the criminal law against a single trust, what progress can be made with such an anti-trust plank as that inserted in the Republican platform? See Big Concession to Roads. "There is a plank in the platform in favor of such legislation and supervision 'as will prevent the future overissue of stocks and bonds by interstate carriers.' This is good, but it is coupled with the advocacy of a pooling arrangement which makes a large concession to the railroads without exacting any security to the public, for the convention voted down an amendment proposed by Senator La Follette's followers authorizing an enlargement of the powers of the interstate commerce commission. "The Negro comes in for his quadrenal quota of taffy. He is reminded that the Republican party gave him freedom and citizenship, and in this there is the implied warning that he must not use his citizenship against the party that gave it to him. It boasts that he is indebted to that party for his political rights and for his progress in intelligence, industry, etc. Negro Gets Usual Taffy, Says Bryan. "The Republican party has made political capital out of the Negro for more than a third of a century. In many of the close states it has won its elections by the Negro vote and in the states where it has had power it has never treated the Negro any better than he has been treated by the Democrats. In other words, in the Northern states the Democrats, without receiving any support from the Negro vote, have been as friendly to him as the Republicans. In the South the Democrats have furnished a large part of the money to provide that education of which the Republican platform boasts. "And yet in each recurring campaign the Republican leaders have attempted to appeal to the prejudices of the Negro by parading before him the restrictions placed upon suffrage in some of the Southern states." Party and Federal Courts. "They have been in control of the government, with the exception of a few years, for now nearly half a century, and they have controlled the "Why is it that the Republican leaders are only solicitous about this Colored man when voting time comes? The Republican platform says: "We condemn all devices which have for their real aim his (the Negro's) franchisement for reasons of color alone as unfair, un-American, and repugnant to the supreme law of the land." "How can these things be repugnant to the supreme law of the land when the Republican Supreme court is supposed to stand guard over the supreme law of the land. There is scarcely a Republican platform that does not approach the Negro with the assumption that his only interest is in the suffrage laws of the South." "No Republican speaker discusses economic questions before a. Colored audience, and yet the Negro is interested in every economic question that affects the white man. "With most of the Negroes raising cotton and scarcely any employed in factories, a high tariff would be hard to justify before a Negro audience. It is an insult to his intelligence as well as to his patriotism to suggest, as the Republican leaders certainly do, that that he thinks of no questions except those that arise between the races."—The Inter Ocean, June 25, 1908. SENATOR J. B. FORAKER TO SUP PORT WILLIAM H. TAFT IN THE PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST. It is stated upon what is considered good authority, that Senator J. B. Foraker, will take the stump, and deliver speeches in behalf of the election of William H. Taft, and that his efforts in this direction will be confined to the Negro voters in Ohio and the other central or middle states. That Senator Foraker will receive for his reward for his labor in this direction, another term in the United States Senate. Our faith has become somewhat shaken in Senator Foraker. For several months ago, he was putting in all of his time, in denouncing and condemning, Taft and Roosevelt, for their unmanly and cowardly conduct, in connection with the "Brownsville affair" and the discharge of the three companies belonging to the 25th Regiment without honor. At that time Taft and Roosevelt not only branded those Negro soldiers, but other Negro men and women as a race of murderers, rapists, and midnight assassins, and now, Senator Foraker, who seems to want to be, in a position to ride two horses in opposite directions at the same time, has faced about, and entertains the idea, that the Negro should loyally support Taft and Roosevelt, which shows that he is in the same bed with them, and proves that he was not sincere at heart, when he was raising so much fuss over the "Brownsville affair." If he had been able to put principal above his own selfish ambition, he would never have sought the nomination for President in a convention packed with Roosevelt, office holders, which placed him in a position, to abide by the decision of the convention and to pledge his support to its nominee. Senator Foraker may be perfectly sincere and honest. But after all it seems that he is a trickey politician! INDEPENDENT AFRO-AMERICANS WILL GATHER AT DENVER, COLORADO, AND FORM AN ORGANIZATION TO FIGHT AGAINST THE ELECTION OF WILLIAM H. TAFT, July 7th quite a number of independent Afro-Americans will meet in Denver, Colo., during the Democratic National Convention, and perfect an organization, which will oppose the election of William H. Taft, for President of the United States. It is also expected that Bishop Alexander Walters will attend the conference and furnish most of the praying for the brethren. During the conference, several public meetings will be held, and Taft, Roosevelt, Booker Taft, Washington, and the other leaders of the Grand Old Party of false promises to the Negro, will be scratched for their act, in endeavour to make solidest slaves out of the Negro, for the next hundred years to come, simply because, there was a civil war in this country more than forty years ago.
