With More Farm POLITICAL STRA OTHER KA The Manager Circulates dates and Business Jubilant and C Nominated Col. L. C. True, Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, of Wyandotte county, is one of the best informed lawyers in Kansas, and his opinions are sought by lawyers all over the state. Col. True is a lifelong Republican, and one of the finest men we ever met. He is popular with all classes and a special friend of the colored people. He is noble in nature and has a kind word for everybody. As Judge of the Court of Common Pleas he has more than made good, and has maintained the dignity and high standing of the office. In selecting men for positions of this kind we should use care and judgment. Col. True is of the right mold for the position and the voters Democratic and Republican, feel proud of his excellent record. We want to see Col. True nominated and elected. The colored people are especially interested in his candidacy, and are for him to a man. Every voter who is interested in good government should be on hand and vote for Col. True. ANNOUNCEMENT. Having been appointed Judge of the Court of Common Pleas by Gov. Hoch, vice Judge Holt, resigned, I'll be a candidate to succeed myself for the next full term, subject to the Republican primaries in August. I am kept busy by my official duties, and cannot, in justice to the public, give much time to the election; but will appreciate the support of my friends who think me honest and competent. I have practiced law in Wyandotte county more than 20 years without holding an elective office, but have at all times unselfishly supported the candidates of my party. If this is sufficient probation to entitle me to an "inning," I would like the support of Republican voters now. L. C. TRUE. Henry Meade announces his candidacy for Probate Judge. He is a bright lawyer and a native of Wyandotte county, born in 1870 and was raised on a farm. Mr. Meade is in every way qualified to make a splendid official, and if nominated will add strength to the ticket. He has always been a Republican and a staunch friend to the colored people, with whom he is very popular. He has an excellent law practice, and stands well with the members of the Wyandotte county bar. He is friendly to the laboring interests and has a large following who are pushing his candidacy. He should be elected by all means. Girard. Crawford County. E. J. Merriweather, candidate for Sheriff, is a native of the county, born Oct. 12, 1878. He is at pres- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 26, 1908. ent under sheriff, the first public office he ever held. He is a staunch Republican and an excellent gentleman. He was foreman of the Santa Fe yards at Frontenao for nine years and has a large following among the laboring people. He is a young man, well read and a gentleman of the highest type, who knows no man merely by creed or color. The colored people like him and are pushing his candidacy. As under sheriff he has made one of the best officials that ever served the county. He is well known and popular throughout the county and is admired by a host of friends. We want to see him elected. No man in that section is better qualified for the office and he will be elected by a large majority. We had the pleasure of riding with Mr. Merriweather from Girard to Paola. He is a young man, is well informed on all matters political and otherwise, and stands high. We have never met a nicer man than Mr. E. J. Merriweather. Hon John T. McNeill, register of deeds, Crawford county, only Democrat elected Nov. 6, 1906 in the county, is a native Kansan and has lived in the state all his life. He located at Frontenac, this county and began driving a delivery wagon for the Mount Carmel Mercantile Co., and gradually worked his way up to general purchaser for the company, which position he held until he moved to Girard to take up the duties of the office he is so creditably filling. Mr. McNeill has always been a strong union man being a member of the Retail Clerks International Protective Association, and served on many important committees of the local organization. Public servants should be measured by honor and integrity, and while it is not our policy to advocate the cause of Democrats, yet we feel that the man who is best fitted should receive first consideration regardless of creed, color or political affiliation. Mr. McNeill will be the nominee of his party for a second term. J. K. Stephenson, Republican candidate for sheriff of Crawford county is in every respect worthy and well qualified, and it elected would make a good official. He has lived in Chicopee, this county, since 1884 and has served as justice of the peace since 1904. In a conversation with him, among other things he said: "I am a friend to the laboring man having worked in the mines 23 years, and will always be a friend of the working class regardless of occupation from the fact that I know their needs and wants. I have always been a Republican and win or lose in this contest, I will be found laboring for the success of Republicanism and every man on the ticket." II. W. Shideler, candidate for representative Twenty-third district was reared on a farm near Monmouth, Crawford county, and taught country schools several years. He is well educated, being a graduate of the Fort Scott Normal College, in which institution he taught two years, and later was connected with one of the Fort Scott newspapers about one year. Mr. Shideler was a captian in Funston's Fighting Twentieth and saw service in the Philippines. He has rendered excellent service to the city schools of Girard during the past eight years and has endearcd himself in the hearts of a wide circle of friends and acquaintances. He is a strong Republican and his admirable traits and magnificient qualifications has made him so popular among all classes that defeat is impossible. Frank J. Merrill, who is seeking the Republican nomination for Representative, is in every way qualified and will make an excellent member and the voters should lose no time in seeing that he is elected. He has always been friendly to the colored people and they are for him to a man. Mr. Merrill, if elected, will represent the people and their interest. Labor has never had a better friend. Geo. Gimell, the popular Superintendent of Public Instruction is a native Kansan and was educated THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN GEO. GIMELL. in the schools of Crawford county and the State Normal at Emporia. He was married in 1905 to Miss Mary Smith. He is a good officer and should be retained in the office. MIAMI COUNTY Wilbur E. Hoover, Clerk of the District Court, is serving his first term. He is a native of Miami county and an excellent gentleman. He is asking the Republicans for renomination and election. JUNCTION CITY. W B Spurlock, candidate for county clerk, is a true Republican, and if nominated and elected would make a splendid official. He has lived in the city many years and is well known H II Dinsmore, Republican candidate for justice of the peace, is a native of Pennsylvania and cast his first Republican vote forty-one years ago He has resided in Junction City twenty-three years and is one of the finest gentlemen in that section. He deserves to be elected M G Brown, clerk of the district court, has served in the county in MAKING GOOD IN TWO STATES! The Knights and Ladies of the Orient are a Blessing to Kansas and Oklahoma Negroes. this capacity for eight years and no one can find a flaw in any of his transactions He has lived in Junction City for twenty years, and is well and favorably known by all classes. He is a New Yorker by birth and a splendid gentleman He has no opposition for the nomination and we don't believe a democrat can be found with sufficient nerve to try to defeat him at the polls Mr Brown is a splendid fellow and deserves any honor that may be conferred upon him John F Brown, Republican candidate for probate judge has lived in Kansas since '86 He is a native of Ohio and has always been a staunch believer in the principles of the party of Lincoln He was elected probate judge in 1904 and gave the county a splendid administration He is a friend of the laboring man and has devoted much of his time assisting the "other fellow," and now that he is a candidate, the voters owe it to him to nominate and elect him Thomas Dixon, present county treasurer, is one of the strongest men in the county and it will take a mighty strong Republican to defeat him He is a native Kansan and is filling his first political office He is friendly to the colored people and also to the working classes Mr. Dixon is an agreeable gentleman and has many warm friends throughout the county. It is seldom that a Democrat breaks into an office in a Kansas county, and when he does he is a powerful strong man and stands high with the people Politics is one thing and integrity another and if a man is clean and honorable the people flock to his support Dixon has made good and if the Republicans fail to nominate the right kind of man, he will be elected. CONTINUED ON PAGE 1. The many people of Kansas and Oklahoma are indeed happy because of the great success the Knights and Ladies of the Orient are making. They are doing more to make the homes of widows and orphans happy than any other organization in the state. The widows and orphans of deceased members receive substantial aid; from $200 to $500, besides sick and accident benefit. They are doing more to educate our people to carry large policies to help those dependent upon them after death. Since its organization thousands of dollars have been paid out among the race and is done so rapidly that the beneficiaries can hardly realize that such an order could exist and pay so promptly without red tape. The following notice is an answer given to the beneficiaries when notice is given of death. They have money and hold it in reserve, to be paid out when justly due. TOPEKA, KANS, June 21,'03.

THE CHICAGO CONVENTION A Glance at one of the Greatest Gatherings in the Nation's History and the Part Played in it by the Negro. The great Republican National Convention at Chicago nominated a candidate for president and vice president that will be elected as sure as the sun shines. A large number of delegates from every domain of Uncle Sam and thousands of farmers, laborers, business men and women were on hand to assist in putting forward these two great diplomats and leaders, Taft and Sherman. Brain, money, push and energy was there to exert itself. The platform is one of progress and expresses the needs and wants of the people and will be carried out. There is no getting around the fact that the party is bountifully supplied with men of brain and intellect, and as long as the colored man can keep the party within the bounds of right, and the Democrats offer no inducements, he will continue to vote for the American Eagle. Whenever the Democrats teach their Rooster to quit picking out his tail feathers, the colored brother might listen to him crow. The Negro is not so much coward in the North as in the South where the bulk of the race lives, and where the Democrats are unmercifully hard on the Negro, thereby compelling his Northern brother to vote one way in order to bring about the desired result of peace and harmony which is all the Negro wants, as he is amply able to supply all other needs of life.

It is high time our progressive and energetic people should stop carrying five and ten per cent policies in the Metropolitan Insurance Co. which gives just enough to bury them and nothing to take care for those left behind who are dependent upon the public for support. There is not one colored person out of ninety that gets five hundred dollars out of the Metropolitan, but on the other hand ninety-eight per cent carries in the Orients which is a race enterprise and does not classify the race and hold them down to a certain amount to bear same burden alike. --- COMMENCEMENT AT LINCOLN INSTITUTE. Lincoln Institute is far famed for the excellence of its commencement program, and never before in the history of the institution has there been one to surpass or equal that of the year ending June 12, 1008. Beginning with the exercises of the junior class, very interesting, well rendered, and consisting of scenes from a classical play, translated and dramatized by Mrs. A. J. Cooper, the program of each succeeding day and night reached a fitting climax in that of Commencement Day, June 12, Dr. A. J. Carey of Chicago delivered the very able baccalaureate sermon from the theme, "Abundant Life"; Dr. Arlington Wilson of Kansas City, sermon to the religious bodies of the institution; Rev. E. J. Barksdale of St. Louis, address to the literary societies; Dr. Matthew Rickets of St. Joseph, address to the subnormal or sophomore graduating class. Each one of these gentlemen brought a message of inspiration and hope.

Funey, the donors of the above mentioned medal, are two members of the Board of Regents especially interested in this department of industrial work. Said Secretary Swanger in the course of his remarks: "For the second time I have been signally honored by being invited to deliver these diplomas to graduates and students of Lincoln Institute. I congratulate these young men and women who have won the victory through toil and self denial. As a citizen of Missouri, I am proud of you I am also proud of, and thank the president and faculty for their fidelity to your best interests. I thank the members of the board for the conservation and business sense with which they have managed the affairs of the institution As citizens of the state, we cannot be indifferent to its welfare. Only upon the intelligence of its citizens can we rear a great commonwealth in Missouri." Taking up the literary numbers of the program, the Secretary pronounced an eulogy upon the selections, thought, and delivery of each occasion in turn. He also complimented the musical numbers Dr. B. F. Allen presided at the exercises and introduced the speakers with happy remarks. In closing he thanked the Board of Regents, patrons and students for their unswerving loyalty to the institution and urged the students to become missionaries in bringing others to pittake of the blessings so truly given in Lincoln Institute.

Realizing the demand among the Negro people for an educated ministry, the Inklegge Normal and Industrial Institute conducts in connection with its other departments a Bible training School. The courses of study are so arranged that not only ministers and lectiates may be benefited, but those also who desire to do better missionary work or become intelligent Sunday school teachers. The chief aim of the Bible training School is to afford a comprehensive knowledge of the English Bible and to implant in the hearts of those who attend an ambition to dedicate their lives to the elevation and Christianization of their people. Duly supplementary exercises designed to instill habits of sobriety, cleanliness, regularity and accuracy are provided. The teaching is wholly uninformational, the intention being not to oppose or antagonize any theological work being done elsewhere, but instead, to assist all denominations. During the past year the enrollment in the Bible training school has been satisfactory, but the opportunity is now provided for a considerably larger number. The teaching is free. The cost of board, including furnished room, light, fuel, laundering, etc. is $50 per month. The entrance fee is $7, to be paid in each by each student when he registers. Students will be given the opportunity to work out much of the $50, in some cases all of it. Lack of means should not keep anyone from entering the Bible school. If the student is not afraid of work and study he will succeed. For author information, address. BOOKER T WASHINGTON, Principal, Luskegee Institute, Alabama. ATCIIISON NEWS. Mr. C. A.

The Magic Shampoo Hair Drier This circular, describing the Magic Shampoo Diler and Hair Straightener, should appeal to every lady who takes pride in having a beautiful head of hair. The Shampoo Hair Diler is a toilet article that, when once used, becomes indispensable to a lady's toilet paraphernault. We are in possession of hundreds of letters from ladies who inform us that they would not atempt to arrange their hair without it, since living had an opportunity to test its mettle. It will straighten curly hair without injury to the hair or scalp. Its use will increase the growth of the hair, by keeping the scalp free from dust, dandruff and grease. In many instances the hair is allowed to go too long unwashed on account of the time required in drying and the dampness contracting the hair, but with our Driller, moderately heated, as you would a curling iron, the hair can be dried quickly and straightened nicely, thereby making it look beautiful and natural in appearance. This toilet article is as much a necessity to a lady having straight hair as it is to one whose hair is curly, for it is an indisputable fact that every lady should batha the hair at regular intervals, and when the long-time drying process is eliminated she will not hesitate as much to keep the scalp and hair clean by bathing. with her cousins, Misses Mabel and Ethyl Jackson. Miss Blossie Harper spent Wednesday at home with her parents and returned to Ellingham Thursday, where she is attending the Institute.

This being true, we expect to see old St. John drenn on ground in a quiet while.

GROVER CLEVELAND. We regret the death of exPresident Grover Cleveland He had all the good qualities that go to make great men. He was a leader of men and far greater than his party. He was fair towards all men and stood firmly for that which he believed to be right and just. The first political recognition ever given a Western Negro by the National Government was the appointment of the late C. H. J.Taylor, of Kansas, by Grover Cleveland. Mr. Taylor was sent as minister to Bolivia, which position he resigned and Mr.Cleveland made him Registrar of Deeds for the District of Columbia. If the Democrats had thirty per cent. of such men in their party, the Negro would not be uneasy about his rights in the several states. A good man is gone, who is left to fill his place? --- THE FLOOD SUFFERERS. We regret the great loss sustained by the truck growers along the Kaw Valley caused by the recent overflow of the Kaw River. Thousands of dollars worth of garden and farm products was destroyed. A large number of the losers are colored people who have grown prosperous and just beginning to take life easy when the flood of 1903 came upon them. They were just recovering from this blow when the recent calamity fell upon them. Not only did the water destroy the crops but washed and cut away many acres of land. Robert Turner, who has gardened on the north side for more than a quarter of a century is one of the heaviest losers. He was compelled to move his barn to keep it from being washed into the river. The channel widened at this point, and had he not tore the barn down hurriedly, it would have topped over into the water. He lost considerable land and will remove his dwelling to another location he owns. David Childs lost all of his garden and several feet of land which means a loss of about three thousand dollars. Montgomery Bollin, I. B. Chites, Mrs. Bryant, the widow, and many others suffered complete losses. They are not discouraged but will try again They ought to be exempt from tax and assisted besides. When people lose their all by Providencial causes the coffers of the county should be opened up to help them. These people have practically passed through three floods during the past five years and it is now time that they receive some assistance. They have spent thousands of dollars for seed and labor and have received no returns. It is right and just that the public extend financial aid. NINE NEGROES MOBBED. HOUSTON, TE., June 22.—Last night nine Negroes met death at the hands of a mob in the vicinity of Hemphill in Sabine county. Today both races secured arms and the tension in such tonight that a race clash appeare eminent. The dead: Jerry Evans, aged 22; Will Johnson, aged 24; Mose Spellman, aged 24; Cleveland Williams, aged 27; William Manuel, aged 25; Frank Williams, aged 22; Two unknown men; William M'Coy. All the dead are Negroes. The lynching followed the killing of two white men by Negroes. Two weeks ago Hugh Dean and several other white men visited a Negro church and school house where a dance was in progress, presumably in quest of liquor, it being the custom of some of the Negroes to sell whiskey during the progress of such affairs. During the evening Dean was killed and six Negroes were held for the killing. At the preliminary examination the evidence tended to show that the plot was formed at the dance to kill Dean. Saturday last, Aaron M. Johnson, a prominent farmer, was assassinated while seated at the dining table with his wife and child, the bullet being fired through a window. For this crime, Perry Price, a Negro was arrested and it is stated, confessed, implicating Robert Wright, a relative of one of the Negroes held for Dean's murder. Price declared he was offered 45 to kill Johnson. Then followed the forming of the mob last night, the overpowering of the jailer at Hemphill and the lynching of the six Negroes held for the murder of Dean. Five were hanged to the same tree, while another attempted to escape and was shot to death. Later in the night W. McCoy, another Negro, was shot and killed while standing at the gate of the Johnson home and this morning the bodies of two Negroes were found in the creek bottom. Wright, the Negro confessed to the killing of Johnson, and the man he implicated, were taken to Beaumont for sale keeping under guard of the military company of San Augustine. Sabine county is situated in the most remote of the eastern section of the state with sparse railroad and telegraph facilities. The above is the most henious crime committed on a defenseless people since the Springfield, Mo, outrage. It is the work of ignorant vibers who came into the world unwelcomed and whose stay is a detriment to the dogs and vultures! How can decent, respectable white Americans stand for such brutes who make it an object to commit outrages upon no other race save the colored American? Sabine county, of which Hemphill is the county seat, has a total population of 4,969 out of this number 1,720 are colored. There is not a single newspaper published in the county, and it is doubtful if there is a church. If there happens to be a school house in the community, we are satisfied that it is used most of the time for a saloon. Negroes who happen to be so unfortunate as to be located in a community of this character must learn to protect themselves. Fight fire with fire! The few Negroes could have put all Sabine county to flight if they but possessed a little courage. While the mob was "overpowering" the sheriff, they ought to have fired every house and goods box in the community. In the first place, no white men had any business at this church or school house even if whiskey was sold there. Texas white people draw color line and "Perfection Flour ```markdown ``` None Better Made For TRY IT The Kaw None Better Made For Bread And Pastries. even pass laws against Negroes and whites mingling in the same places, so therefore if the Negroes had a distillery in the place, they had no right there according to a decree set up by themselves. These illbred debauches should have been at their own churches looking for whiskey. No man with the slightest degree of honor would go to a church in quest of whiskey. The few good white people left in Texas should try the herculeous task of reforming the state or move out and turn the others over to hell, which is no doubt located in Sabine county. We are in receipt of the report of the Eighth annual convention of the National Negro Business Men's League, held in Topeka last August. It is a neat book and much credit is due Wm. H Davis official Stenographer, who gives every sentence that was uttered, and to Emmett J. Scott, secretary and compiler. The book is of much value and should be placed on the market and in the homes of every colored citizen and as many whites as possible. It is a history of the doings of the race. Parties wishing a copy of the minutes write to Emmett J. Scott, Secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Ala. The League will hold its meeting August 19, 20, 21, Baltimore, Md. The executlye Board of the State Baptist convention will meet July 1st in connection with the S. S.

The agricultural course and Bible training course of Tuskegee Institute are now open for business. Parties wishing to take advantage of this opportunity will do well to visit this institution. W. R. Falkiner, whose announcement for Clerk of Shawnee county appears elsewhere in this paper, is in every way capable, and if nominated and elected would make an ideal offical. He has a magnificent training in clerical work, having had a number of years experience in the office of the great Santa Fe. Mr. Falkiner is courteous, polite and a gentleman of high integrity and if elected will treat all alike, irrespective of creed or color. He has many warm friends at the Santa Fe, who are urging his nomination, and is gaining ground daily among the colored people. If elected Mr. Falkiner will no doubt make one of the best officials that ever served Shawnee county.

Political Straws from Other Kansas Counties CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1. Olivia H. Milley. Democratic candidate for re-election to the office of county superintendent of public instruction, began teaching in the public schools of Geary county in the fall of 1886 and has been in close touch with the schools of the county ever since. She is a progressive teacher and fully realizes the needs of the rural schools and while a good many improvements have been made in those schools it is safe to predict a continuance to progress if Miss Milley is re-elected. She is an excellent lady, highly educated and is courteous and polite to everyone. Miss Milley is well posted on all matters, political and otherwise and has made an official in whom every one feels an especial pride. BUSINESS ENTERPRISES Junction City is blessed with one of the largest and best flouring mills in the state. The Hogan Milling company is popular throughout that section and enjoys a magnificent patronage at home and abroad Mr Thomas F Hogan, president of the company, is a splendid gentleman and one of the best business men and financiers in the Middle West. His shrewd tact and executive ability has placed the institution in the front rank. The First National bank of Junction City is one of the strongest financial institutions in Kansas Mr Thomas B Kennedy, cashier, is a great public spirited man and it is through his keen foresight and great financial ability that this institution has become popular and enjoys the confidence of farmer, merchant and laborer We need more men like Mr Kennedy 8.

The procession left Williams' Hall, on South Walnut, at 2 p.m., and marched to the hall, on N. Union, headed by Lensape silver cornet band. The welcome was given by Mayor Wilcox, of the city, the responsive address by Rev. Richardson, of Macedonia Baptist church. P. Bassett, of Chetopa, made a good talk on Odd Fellowship. Presiding Elder Moore, C. M. E. church, made a short but excellent talk; music by the band and Prof. J. E. Hogon's choir. At night Rev Dr Cormal addressed a good house, music by the band and choir. A long table was well spread with good things that everybody seemed to enjoy. Rev Johnson, as toastmaster, started the ball rolling again by a few pointed remarks, after which he introduced the speakers. Bish. Henry responded on the subject, "Jim Crowism." John Elias then made good upon the subject of, "The Business Man and His Patrons among the Negroes." We must say that Mr. Elias knew how to handle his subject. None of the speakers neglected to praise the effort and the result of the effort made by the order, for indeed they are deserving. No order or company in Southern Kansas has completed a work like theirs. All seem to feel that Mr. A. Roan, who seems to have had the management for the order, has shown to our white brethren the ability of the Negro as to management. Also, to ourselves it shows what the possibilities are for us. Let us learn to help each other instead of practicing what our ignorance has been heretofore allowing us, and by and by you will see the dawn of fortune for us. Attorney S.G.

If you wish to know about a clean clearcut, up-to-date, strictly business mining proposition-mining in the ground and not on paper-if you appreciate a square deal and would like to be associated with progressive investors of the race, if you would like to see your dimes rapidly grow into dollars in a proven proposition now blocking out ore with a remarkable record and bound to win, then, write the Freeman Mining, Milling and Development Company, Coloado Springs, Colo The Western Trade Journal is a recent article had the following to say concerning this company: "From time to time the Western Trade Journal has had occasion to speak in favorable terms of several Nevada companies. We have not hesitated to recommend the stock to our readers as our investigations of these enterprises have been such as to convince us that as legitimate promising mining enterprises nothing more secure is on the market. It is therefore a satisfaction to be able to add one more promising Nevada company to our list of reliable companies. In this connection we refer to the Freeman Mining, Milling and Development Co., incorporated under the laws of Arizona, capital stock $1.500,000; 750,000 shares in the treasury, par value $1, fully paid and non-earnable. The company owns and is developing the richest property in the Gold Mountain district, Nevada. They have run a tunnel over 10 feet and cut several good veins of rich ore, and will begin shipping soon. This company has been the subject of painstaking investigation on the part of the Western Trade Journal, and fairness impelle this statement that the most searching examination convinces us that the company offers the best form of investment in Nevada mining stock within our knowledge. For particulars not made plain by this free and unsolicited editorial, address the Freeman Mining, Milling and Development Co., Room 1, Robbins Building, Colorado Springs, Colo. "We consider but the interest of the subscribers who may be undecided how to invest in the Nevada silver and gold mines when, without insinuating aught in detraction of other companies, we bestow our unreserved endorsement upon the Freeman Company's proposition. In view of the foregoing, we feel it a duty to advise our readers who desire an interest in one of the best Nevada mining companies, to lose no time in securing some of these shares, which offer the very best security for the least money that ever came under the purview of this paper."

Continued from Page 1 Taft, of Ohto, for president and James S, Sherman, of New York, for vice-president, keeps alive the contilence of the people who invest their money in business, Mr. Taft is a man of great legal ability and knows the country's every want and need. He comes {from a long line of abolition ances- try ancl will treat all men square, Mr, Sherman has spent twenty years in Congress and his honesty and business integrity cannot be questioned. IIe represents pro- greseive ideas and will measure up to all that is said of him. There was over fifty colored dele- gatee in the convention, most of whem were progressive business aud professional men, The curb-stone fellow was left at home. Politics ‘es vecience of which the race will bave 10 learn before they can get to the trout in the political world. The Negro is not yet able to decide within himeelt that there muet de recognized leaderehip and that be muet follow some leader to aucceed. The white man is at home following some leader to which can be traced glorious success. There were scores of well dressed colored men, who under pretext of having the race’a interest at heart, wach trying to show the white what influence he had. All were plitical prophets among themeclves and told each other what was going to happen, From the lack of leaders ebiy, moet of the news handled by them came fifth handed. There is potasingle Negro on the national committee, Judson Lyons was,but lost out becauee he is residing in Warhington and trying to dictate politics in Georgia, Had he re- turred to his atate after serving sight yeare an registrar of the treasury, and purchaged one or two sotton plantations, he could have remained on the committee, South Carolina’a delegation was two thinda colored. They were men of cduvation and intelligence, yet they lacked leadership, and a white man had double honora on both the resolution and national committees. He had brain and shill and hoew how to take advantage of a body of dieorganized, deceitful, seltich Ne- grees, It is the Negroes fault in many instances that he loecs out. Whirky and fa good time will not ran business, Vernon, Dancy, Tyler, Crum, Emmett J,Scott and Charlea Banka, of ,Miseiseippi, were much in evi- deme and displayed ability and leaderebip, but there were none to follow as every other fellow felt that he was it What the colored people should do ix recognize Booker T, Washing: ton, Bishop Abram Grant and W. T.

VUbdties anderson, OF New York, collector of the port, and Prof. Vernon, registrar of the treasury, were the speahers, An ovation of flve minutes’duration was given Mr, Vernon when he referred to what the party had done for him in recognition of the race, Much credit is due Rev. Roberts, the pas- tor of the church, for the success of the banyuet. The people of Kansas should feel proud of her delegation to the Na. tional convention. ‘They certainly carried out the will of the people. Senator Charles Curtia was an orig- inal Sherman man and as chairman of the delegation used his intluence and landed Kansas on top, as he alwayxdoes. Nothing but praise is due Committeeman David W. Muls vane for the attention given the Kaneae delegation and visitors. He spared no pains to make things pleasant for all. Ue has no equal. Senator Long was much sought after and was more popular than any one else. Many of his admirers told him that they hoped to see him re-~ turn and that they knew MKansag would do the rght thing, as he bad assisted in giving the people of the nation a splendid platform, The colored people feel grateful to him for the pledge of the entorcement of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the consti- tation of the United States, and will see that he goes back to enforce them, Emmett J. Svott, Secretary of Tuskeegee Institute, was a promi nent figure at the convention, We would like to see him appointed to one of the beat positions at the gift of the Republican party.
