THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. 13. His orical Society state house VOLUME II. TO COLORED VOTERS! Extracts From an Address on "The Negro's Place In American Politics," by Bishop W. B. Derrick. The institutions under which we live were founded in righteousness. It was by no mere caprice or accident that the author of the Declaration of American Independence wrote "that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unallenable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." It is not by accident that the black man is found upon this hemisphere, dwelling among this great people. These things had their origin in the eternal council of God. In proportion as this germ thought is understood and appreciated to that extent will a solution be found to what men are pleased to call the "negro question in the United States." If there is to be a negro question because the black man elects, now that he is free, to reside in the land defended by his valor, developed by his brawn and nurtured with his tears, then, like Panteo's ghost, the negro and his question will not down. It is therefore for the people as a whole to say by their vote on the Gift of November next if the negro is to become the disintegrating element in the body politic or if the murderous methods of men like Senator Ben Till man are to be condemned by the election of William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt. FROM TILMAN'S SPEECH. FROM KANSAS CITY PLAN. We took the oath. FROM TILMAN'S SPEECH. We took the government away. We stuffed the gun in the back of the shot then. We are not ashamed of it. With that system—force, tissue ballots, etc.—we got tired ourselves. So we went to convention, and we eliminated, as I have said, all of the colored people whom we could under the fourteenth fifteenth amendments. PORN. We declare again that all governments instil their among men divine consent their among men divine consent of the governed; that any government not based upon the consent of the governed is a tyranny and that to impose upon any people a government of force substitute methods of imperialism for those of a republic. In our determination to uphold the party of Abraham Lincoln and to support the Republican platform we are inspired by no craven fear for the future of the negro, who as long as the republic lests will find a place in it, but we are solicitous for the good name of the nation and the peace and prosperity of the whole people, which would be put in jeopardy by the surrender of Republican institutions to the forces of anarchy, repudiation and nullification as represented by Colonel William Jennings Bryan. We realize the reincarnation of the spirit which preceded secession, with all of its harmful consequences. Find the results of the civil war been accepted in good faith by the south and had not the people of that section been encouraged by the Democratic party of the north to expect assistance in the reversal of the settlement, there would now be no negro question. It is futtle, however, to evade the fact that nothing less is demanded by the Democratic south than the reduction of the negro in that locality to a state of peonage, without voice in its government, protection in its courts or security for life or property. It is equally certain that federal legislation, having as its object the utter degradation of the race, is the price which the Democratic party of the north is pledged to guarantee to the south in exchange for power. This insolent conspiracy is unrelied on a single redeeming feature this coward's blow is aimed at the people upon whom the south is dependent for the development of its soil and the conduct of its industrial system. Nor is it pretended by the party of Prvan, Ben Tillman and Bourke Cockran that the negro is to be supervised by a more efficient laborer. Their plan is that he should tell in freedom as he did in bondage, with little pay and without master to defend him from the abuse of the irresponsible and worthless whose lot under the old dispensation was worse than that of the slave. It is to deliver the southern black man from this living death as well as to protect the northern negro from the debasing influences of the Democratic machine that we desire Republican success. We have no disposition to detach the colored citizen from the whole Republican platform and to create new issues for his benefit but the negro's paramount issue is now, and must forever remain until settled, his full citizenship as guaranteed by the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the federal constitution. If these amendments that were written into the constitution with the best blood of the people are to be set ataught throughout an important and wide area of the country, inhabited by millions of negroes, then it were of little consequence to the race whether the finances of the country were on a stable foundation or otherwise, whether Republican protection had filled the coffers of the nation or Democratic free trade had depleted them, whether the country had extended its borders or had abducted its international functions. In either condition and under all the circumstances the negro would be a servant and not a free man, a pariah and not a political equal of other men, a hewer of wood and drawer of water for such of the outcasts of Europe as possessed virility and means enough to reach these shores. You may rest assured that the Republican party, which placed the rife in the black man's hand and the uniform of the United States upon his person, will see to it that he retains the ballot as the seal of his power and evil ance of his full and complete citizenship. We turn with contempt and loathing alike from those who would invigle us with perquisites of office to enter the ranks of our Democratic enemies and the poltroons who would solve our difficulties by deportation and expatriation. Guided by the principles of a great Republican party and protected by the constitution of our common country, we will continue to seek peace and prosperity under the ample folds of the stars and stripes. We take the following announcement from the Colored Citizen of Topeka, the organ of Col. Beck and Major Brown's Afro-American democratic side show of Kansas: POLITICAL REVIEW OF THE WEEK A good point was made in New York the other day against Mr. Bryan by Mr. P. H. Curlin, a Democrat who will vote this year for McKinley. He said: "I hardly think the party needs a leader who takes all his law and gospel from the speeches of Mr. Lincoln, however able they may have been. He is not the kind of a Democrat whose leadership inspires me with respect for its originality or greatness." Republican patriots and statesmen have long been the models after whom Democrats have patterned. Originality of ideas or utterance upon great questions of pith and moment has not characterized Democratic leadership in this country. It does not originate; it imitates. It does not lead; it follows. Lincoln's massive brain has furnished Mr. Bryan with all the original ideas he has emitted during the past four years. He knows Lincoln by heart. He lives in Lincoln and on Lincoln. Philip Jackson, a colored Democrat of Charlestown, W. Va., presented Mr. Bryan with the following and asked him to sign it: "I do not countenance the Jim Crow car law or any other measure that discriminates against any American citizen on account of color." The Dallas Express, from which this is taken, says Mr. Bryan refused, saying he did not want any new issues infected into the campaign. If Mr. Bryan doesn't want new issues injected into the campaign, why does he set the example? He has sprung a new issue "imperialism" and has sedulously labored with his mouth to make it overshadow the real issue-free silver—which he insisted should be incorporated in the platform adopted by the Kansas City convention or he would not accept the nomination. His words are in print showing that before the convention had adopted the platform he had made a fetch of the silver question; now he is using it as a floor mop and exploiting "imperialism" as a paramount issue. The knight of the sorrowful figures, 16 to 1, is an opportunist whose fine frenzy is only equaled by that of his great exemplar Senior Don Quixote who had his feelings hurt fighting windmills and other dangerous enemies of his country. The versatility of Mr. Bryan is shown by the facility and celerity with which he has been able to shift the issue which is the only issue in this campaign and log in supplementary questions which are not yet in a formative state. The fact that Mr. Bryan once trot the boards as an actor may account for the ease with which he plays so many parts in the political drama in which he is a star performer. Charles W. Anderson, the new committeeman at large on the Republican state committee of New York, has been looking over the field since his election, and on a recent trip up the state in company with Senator Dolliver he found that the colored Republicans of the state of New York were very much alive and very much in earnest in their efforts to contribute to the election of Oddell and Woodward. There are a number of Republican clubs in most of the large cities, and colored Republican voters are thoroughly organized all over the state. Mr. Anderson, who is a vigorous and forceful speaker, made a number of speeches on this trip through the state and will be heard often during the campaign. He is one of the most eloquent and effective young orators in the state of New York. Trying to Catch the Colored Vote. It is now stated that Mr. Bryan will soon come out in opposition to the policy of disfranchise at the south and pose the special friend of the colored man. In this way the Democrats, it is said, will try to catch a large part of the colored vote. If there is anything more ridiculous and presumptuous in American politics than this, what is it? The Democratic party and the colored race are absolutely incompatible. A colored Democrat is a contradiction in terms. To be sure, there are some colored Democrats, but the idea of the Democrats winning any considerable portion of the colored vote is positively impudent in its absurdity. The colored voters can see through the trick easily enough. The West Virginia colored men have already shown that they understand the situation. They have issued an appeal to their brothers, and have sent it far and wide, to stand together in this crisis of their destiny and rally to the support of the only party which is friendly to them. The appeal characterizes the new disfranchise policy as being practically the beginning of a new slavery for their race. The First Georgia District. The Republicans of the First Georgia district have nominated by acclamation William R. Lecken for representative in congress. Resolutions were introduced by Colonel J. H. Devaux and adopted unanimously opposing the administration of President McKinley, protesting against the dischristenement of colored citizens, favoring the protective tariff system and emphatically denouncing Bishop Turner of Georgia for deserting the Republican patty and going over to Bryan. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 12, 1:00. The Democratic vs. The Republican Ideas TOWNSEND WRITES. Col. Beck and Maj. Brown do not Appreciate The Plaindealer. DEMOCRATIC POLICY IS To Repeal All Laws Favorable to the Negro Democrats-- Will the Dem's Land? THE PLAINDEALER'S CARTOON OF SEPTEMBER 14. In the issue of the Plaindealer of September 14, appeared a cartoon of Col. Beek and Major Brown. This cartoon was furnished the Plaindealer by the republican committee. It only shows how they can use a cheap Negro to carry out their fiendish plots. We will pay our respects to such journalism in the next issue of this paper. From The Leavenworth Times. I claim, and justly, too, that the colored men cannot consistently divide their votes with the Democratic party or take a position of indifference against the Republican party at this time. In order that a waiting public may thoroughly appreciate the tribute to the Plaindealer above promised, we reproduce this week, our special carcartoon on the Negro democrat. EQUAL RIGHTS TO ALL It is no longer a mere complaint, that colored people have not received justice in the southern states from the democrats who have control of those states. It has been proved beyond any question that colored citizens have been and are now, prescribed, denied and disfranchised by the Negro-hating democrats of that section of the country who, from the days of construction, have never believed that it was right for the federal government to emancipate and enfranchise colored men. I want to warn all colored men that their fate is now trembling in the national balance. Look thoroughly into this matter of your rights. The political enemies of the black man propose to undo what has been done; and upon this we should make no issue and make our fight to the last ditch. They would repeal the 14th and 15th amendments, inaugurate a reign of terror, disorganize the state governments, kick the intelligent black man out of congress, close their schools, burn their churches, re-enact the inimious black laws which made it a penitentiary offense for colored men to even sell peanuts, hoist the enemies of the black man and of the nation into power, make the government instrumental in training the scions of secession for future rebellion. Colonel Beck is doing his level best to pay for the shoulder strap given him by Mr. Leedy, and is probably sincerer in what he is doing. But these things do not hinder the men from being in the wrong. They may conjure up the Philippines, Cuba and Puerto Rico, but they can never make the imaginary crime of expansion cover the foal, bloody crime of disfranchisement. Disfranchisement and mob law are the paramount issues for the Negroes. That party whose leaders openly boast that they are guilty of burning, shooting and disfranchising American citizens because God, in His wisdom, wrapped them in a black skin, is an open and avowed enemy of the Negro, and the Negro who votes for its candidates insults his mantold and bids Godspeed to lynch law. The ungrateful colored man who claims to be for Mr. Bryan, and against the best interest of his race claims that Mr. McKinley has failed to protect the colored man in the south against democratic fraud, intimidation and violence, but in the next breath delares his intention to vote the democratic ticket. How inconsistent and ridiculous is such a position! it is a matter of common knowledge that no president can interfere in state affairs, that the governor of the different states must call upon the president for aid or help in relation to state matters before the president dare do a thing, so if troops were necessary to protect the colored man in the south the governor of the state where such troops or soldiers are wanted must ask the president for those soldiers. Them's our sentiments, and we don't care a rap for the "respects" of black democrats. The Negroes of Kansas don't either. How do you like our talk? "Hon." (?) Allen O. Myers, ex-congressman from some Ohio district, is making speeches in Kansas in the interest of the dem-populist element. In the course of his speech at Nortonville the other day he talked on THE NEGRO QUESTION. The speaker is apparently in full sympathy with his party on the question of Negro suffrage. He seemed to glory in the disfranchisement of the colored voter in the South and said the movement was extending. "We're hanging the coons in Ohio," he shouted. "They found a dead nigger hung in Urbana; they sued for $5,000 and we'll send a draft for the amount as soon as we can find the post office address of the dead coon." In General Dick's own town he had a nigger riot and thousands of dollars of property were destroyed, three regiments were ordered out, but they slipped the coon out and put him in the pen before we could find and hang him." He said that in the war of the rebellion a million white men were killed on each side. "It would have been much better," he added, "to have killed the niggers in the first place and saved the white men." ALLEN O. MYERS DISGUSTS THE ATCHISON PEOPLE. In the course of a half column writeput of Allen O. Myers' speech in Atchison Wednesday night, the Globe has the following to say: I ask any colored democrat to tell during all these years of murder and burning of the colored man by mobs, what democratic governor has asked for assistance from Mr. McKinley to protect the colored citizens? Yet when this is known and when the democrats are alone responsible they want a continuance of this sort of treatment by supporting the democrats. Allen O. Myers, the Ohio ex-congressman who played an engagement at Turner hall last night under the auspices of the democrats, makes a rough speech, although rough is a mild word for some of Myers' alk. He was at times so abusive that many democrats present did not indorse his remarks. During his speech he committed the unpardonable offense of spitting. He lacks the dignity and polish of a national campaigner, and many democrats are willing to admit today that his objectionable talk offsets his good points, and that he is not a vote getter. He noticed a few colored people in the audience, and addressed them as "coons." "You hit the nail on the head," yelled some one. "You mean the coon," replied Myers. Myers' talk is badly in need of blue penciling. He spoke to an audience that nearly filled the hall, and he held it for nearly two hours. Governor Glick presided at the meeting, and Dr. Mitchell introduced the speaker. Judge Bland and W. P. Waggener occupied seats on the platform, and republicans say their faces plainly portrayed their disapproval of Myers' ugly statements. Still it is said that he was worse at Leavenworth than at Atchison. There is not one word of intelligent argument that can be uttered in support of such a claim, that colored men should now desert the Republican party for the party which has systematically opposed every congressional measure designed to raise the colored man from bondage and abject misery to the full stature of manhood and American citizenship. The Plaindealer takes this opportunity to reiterate its previous statement that no Negro whose love for his race rises above selfish gain can logically argue himself into the democratic camp. Our two Kansas bloodless warriors who have espoused the cause of Negro disfranchisement, mobbing and lynching, should school themselves to stand adverse criticism without sparring or becoming angry. Let the colored democrat and the white democrat too for the matter, search the pages of American history, tell us where to find one line or one word placed there by democracy which entitled the Democratic party to the slightest consideration from the colored men of this country? Not one act of justice or humanity has ever graced the statute books of the nation coming from the Democratic party for the colored man. Today the manifest desire to rob the black man of the elective franchise is demonstrated by democratic leaders in the halls of cong- The management of a Topeka democratic paper published by Negroes in the interest of Negroes, and, incidentally, to filch a few dollars out of the Democratic party managers, promised this week to "pay its respects" to the Plaindealer. We take the advantage of their announcement to state that this paper does not seek to temper its course to suit the caprice of any set of men, and we shall accord the same privileges to the other fellow. But we reserve the right to criticise the conduct of any man in any manner consistent with decent journalism. Simply because a man is black is no sign that he is always right, or that "he or they" are above the ordinary mortal. The man who gets mad and calls you a liar does not present a fair rejoinder to any kind of an argument. This applies particularly to Negroors who "bolt" the republican ticket. It is true in the case of Henry C. Smith of Cleveland, Ohio, who is mad and frothing at the mouth because Mark Hanna selected a Negro by the name of Myers to be a member of the state advisory republican committee. The same thing is true of our esteemed friend and fellow-citizen. Col. Major John M. Brown. The Col. Major has burned out a neck band because Congressman Curtis found Negroes in the first congressional, and their names were not Brown. ress who openly and defiantly proclaim to the world that they shoot "niggers" and disfranchise them and that the south is not ashamed of it. Think of these insults added to the injuries the democrats have already inflicted upon this race! Think of these insults and threats coming from that section of the country where Mr. Bryan expects the greatest support for president! Not one word of protest or remonstrance has come from the lips of Bryan or any member of his party against the violence committed upon inoffensive colored men and helpless women by democratic buldozers in the south. Not one word of protest has come from Mr. Bryan or any member of his party against the wholesale disfranchisement of the colored voters by his supporters in the south. Not one word is said by Mr. Bryan or his party about the consent of the governed at home. But Mr. Bryan and his party are very solicitous about the black men 7,000 miles away. To those they send their greetings and sympathy and for them they shed crocodile tears and Bryan is heard to bemoan for his son Absalom. But for the Negro at home who has never revolted against the flag, but who has always fought that it may wave in undisputed supremacy Mr. Bryan and his party send to them greetings to be picked off from the dangerous end of a winchester. When the Democratic party learns that the institution of slavery is forever overthrown and that the black man is not only free, but is the political equal of the white man, it will be time enough then for the colored voters to favorably consider the Democratic party. Until that time arrives all colored men should stand firm in the faith wherein they were made free, resisting every encroachment upon their liberties by supporting the Republican party of the state and nation—the only political party in this country today in favor of equal rights and exact justice for all. JUDGE MARTINS PARTNER Writes a letter—He will bolt— Two life long enemies of prohibition. As the time for election approaches, the opposition to some of the regular republican nominees assumes an aggressive attitude. The position assumed by Mr. H. L. Heald, Judge John Martin's law partner, is not the least surprising. It is rather the expected. As the partner and especial protege of the democratic nominee, Mr. Heald would be very ungrateful, to say the least, if he failed to exert all his powers and influences to the success of Judge Martin. To Mr. Heald and Mr. Vance, the defeat of Judge Hazen is not so much desired as is the success of their friend John Martin. In his recent open letter to the republican voters of Shawnee county, in reply to the urgent appeal of Chairman Larimer to all republican voters, to cast their votes for the regular republican nominees, published in the Daily Capital, Mr. Heald in his concluding paragraph displays an ignorance of current political history hardly to be expected from one or cupying a position in the confidence of Ex-Senator Martin, and at the same time betrays an inconsistency really compatible with that element of "good citizens" who find themselves in as bad if not a worse position than Lot in the biblical story of Sudom and Gomarraw. In a city of 30,000 people with school houses galore, and boasting of a social purity league, find it necessary to import a farmer to be chief of police. If, as Messrs. Heald and Vance declare, "prohibition in Kansas is a republican principle" (and we agree with them₁) it strikes us as extremely illogical advice to give republican voters to leave the party and vote for two men for the most important NUMBER 41. offices in the gift of the county, who are open and avowed anti-prohibitionists. Mr. Heald in his letter says that Judge Martin "has done no act antagonistic to republicanism." Judge Martin is the man who fought the constitutionality of the prohibitory law, which is "a republican principle in Kansas." His entire life has been devoted to the destruction of the principles of the only party that has placed upon the statute books of Kansas, or agreed in their party platforms to do so, a law declaring the liquor traffic to be illegal. That law in spite of Judge Martin and his democratic conferes, the United States, supreme court declared constitutional and by its operation a generation of young Kansas, white and black, have been enabled to grow up without the presence of the open saloon. As a further salve to his conscience Mr. Heald hugs the sophism of "the effect of a vote for Martin and Clark would be entirely local," and again, in speaking of the issue, he says "the maintenance of republican national policies will depend upon congressmen, and there are no others in issue, so far as national or state politics are concerned." Mr. Heald's bump of ignorance comes out strong in this case. There has not been a democratic platform adopted in Kansas in the past twenty years that has not pledged its party to a repeal of the prohibitive amendment which it characterizes as vicious. Both Mr. Martin and Judge Clark have occupied exalted positions in the councils of the Democratic party. It is not, as the leaders of the reform element in the party would have the world believe, that the gentlemen nominated by the republican for district judge and county attorney are corrupt and bad men. Both are men of integrity and honesty. Judge Hazen so far enjoyed the confidence of his party and the public that no man presumed to enter against him at the recent primary. Galen Nichols was nominated for county attorney because he was a Shawnee county boy, and the people admired his ability, energy and integrity. The trouble with Messrs. Heald, Vance and others is that their ineffecual efforts to convict persons charged with crimes on purchased testimony has proven a flat failure. There is no truth in the assertion that Judge Hazen is responsible for the many whiskey cases being appealed from the police court. Cases are appealed from the police court because there is a well grounded suspicion that justice cannot be obtained there. Every case that has gone to the district court and the evidence as 'proven beyond a reasonable doubt' the guilt of the offenders, there has been no hesitancy on the part of Judge Hazen to give them the full extent of the law. In the discharge of his duties as assistant county attorney, Mr. Nichols has been faithful and prompt. This is no time for the republicans of this county to select democrats to administer "the principles of the Republican party in Kansas." The Plaindealer believes that the party should reward its faithful and loyal workers. There are a lot of fellows preparing to put party principles and discipline in the background. We should keep our eyes on that class of wishy-washy, namby-pamby political highwayman, whose purpose is to hold up the party for their whims and fancies, and, if they do not get what they want, to bolt. Every man should stand by the party nominees. A number of young folks attended at St. John. All report a good time. Allen Gentry, wife and grandmother were over from Kinsley Friday.

We wonder why Col.-Major In the southern states about a month before election the democratic committee meets and decides what the majority is to be. In many of the states the republicans cast a majority of the votes, but they are not counted. The October number of the Kansas Knocker, edited by J. Frank Jarrell and Myron Waterman, is out in a Nile green cover. It's a knock on our autumnal tints. Do not fail to read it, however. It's much nicer inside the cover. The destiny of every Afro-American in the north is identified with that of his southern brother. If the democrats of the south succeed in wresting the franchise from the people of the race in the south, the same thing will be done in the north. Hon. Joseph D. D. Rivers, editor of the Denver Statesman, has been nominated for the legislature. Joe Rivers is a hustling young business Negro and if elected he will reflect credit on the race. The republicans of Arapahoe county should stand by him. Senator Tillman says the Pennsylvania coal miners are "a lot of ignorant, poor foreigners," and adds that he would rather be a "southern nigger" than one of them. The senator has given the Pennsylvania miners a rather vivid insight of the democratic opinion of them. In 1895, under democratic administration, our favorable trade balance was $75,568,200. During the last three years, under the republican policy of expansion in the world's markets, our valuable trade balance has averaged more than $565,000,000 each year. This means more work for the mills and more work for American labor. There are still a large number of young colored boys and girls out of school. Parents should see to it that their children are in school. Do not be so anxious about the few pennies your boys can pick up on the street selling papers and shining shoes. See that he attends school every day and that his time out of school is spent in a good wholesome atmosphere. Don't lose sight of these boys and girls of ours; let us make men and women of them. During the recent storm at Galveston, Tex., many thousand Negroes lost their all. Editor Noble of the Galveston Times is making an urgent appeal to the Negroes of this country to contribute as liberally as possibly. Kansas Negroes have been blessed with plenty and prosperity during the past year. Let us contribute liberally to our people and to all those who are suffering by reason of the storm. Send your donations direct to Galveston. . Bishop Derrick, who was reputed to be a convert to Bryanism, has at last been heard from, and he is making it clear that he was misrepresented when placed in the democratic column. This we are glad to learn, for notwithstanding the fact that there are many elements in our party who are bitter enemies to the Negro, still we cannot afford to leave it to punish those political pirates, who are now swarming about it, because it looks like a winner. One thing, however, is certain, some plan must be found to reward the Negro commensurate with his political worth to the party, or he is going to quit fighting its battle. There is a sentiment pervading the south to the effect that but for the Negro the party down here would grow, and there is a suspicion that a number of our national leaders are bolstering up this sentiment wherever and whenever they can; and yet the fact remains that McKinley cannot be re-elected without the Negro vote. Thus matters stand, and unless fair treatment is accorded the Negro—unless his enemies in the party are made to understand conditions—there is going to be a change in votes, and with the change will go the hopes of the republican party.—The Dallas Express. It is clear to all who keep talk on the trend of events that this campaign is of vast importance to the race; that the Negro vote of the country is the pivot. It is for this reason that the Negroes should calmly and carefully consider the course they will pursue in the campaign. The success of democracy is an endorsement of Tillmanism and disfranchisement. The success of the Republican party is a rebuke to the party that is against the Negro as a party. Parsons Rev. M.

Attorney A. M. Thomas, has been retained by G. W. Jones of Oskaloosa to try a mandamus suit brought in the supreme court in behalf of Miss Mabel Jones and Gracie Jones to compel the school board of Oskaloosa to admit them to the public schools of that city without discrimination on account of race or color. Oskaloosa is a city of the third class, and has for many years compelled the colored children to attend separate schools, and Mr. Jones, a well-to-do citizen, brings original proceedings of mandamus in the supreme court to enforce his rights. Messrs. Morse and Casebier of Oskaloosa are also attorneys for the plaintiffs, and it is expected that Mr. Jones will score a victory and wipe out another baleful evil of the community. We hope Mr. Jones will win and we believe he will. Let the good work go on until the last relic of ignorance and prejudice is swept from the state where liberty and equality must and will prevail.
