THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. Historical State Houses VOLUME X. The Meeting of GO SLOW ON judious reduce GOVERNOR! Negroes Should Not Declare Themselves Unless Assured of Recognition. The Republican State convention will meet in Topeka March 4 for the purpose of nominating a state ticket and delegates to the National convention and presidential electors. It is the duty of the colored Republicans to see that they are represented on delegation, electoral ticket and state central committee. We advise the colored voters to be slow about committing themselves on any candidate for governor until it can be understood as to the Negro's share in the division of spoils. The average white man pretends very much concerned about the dear people, but it is only the spoils of office for himself and friends that he is looking after. While all three of the candidates for governor are good men personally, they represent different factions, each claiming to be the saviour of the dear people. What the colored voter wants is a share of the spoils and a chance to be heard before everything is over. The railroads is all the boys have to harp on at present while the taxpayers are burdened almost to death with unequal taxation. It is not so much HOW a man is nominated as it is to get one that is HONEST. What the colored people want is a few good clerkships, one or two good appointments at the hands of the governor that pay more than one thousand dollars a year, a company in the National Trust, a few positions in the penal and charitable institutions, and laws enacted that will apply to all men alike.

NUMBER 2 PT SCOTT, XANS One of the largest crowds that ever assembled in the city of Fort Scott met at Taborian hall Jan. 1 to celebrate the Francipation Proclamation. It was a delightful sight to see the old people coming down the street with bending forms making their way to the celebration.
