The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Americans. 5-It is not controlled by Blinketts Historical Society. 6-It asks no support but the K. RESTRICTION OF SUFFRAGE The Democrat has Not Only Deprived the Afro-American of the Right to Have His Vote Counted as Cast, But Have Used His Vote to Nullify the Vote of the White Man Who Favors Free Institutions. The adoption of the amendment to our state constitution which has for its object the restriction of the right of suffrage marks another step on the part of the democracy of the south in its efforts to nullify the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution of the United States. We were admitted into the union after the late civil war it was expressly provided as a fundamental condition precedent to their right to representation in congress and in the electoral college, that neither of the said states should ever amend its constitution as to abridge the right of any voter residing therein. We have passed on the 28th day of July, 1868, and reads as follows: The foregoing leaves no doubt as to the condition upon which the southern states were re-admitted to 'the union. While it is a contract that is not binding in a strictly legal sense, in so far as the states are concerned, at the same time it is an agreement of good states that 'they will observe in faith the principles enunciated in the fifteenth amendment. It is an obligation which those of us who live south of Mason and Dixon's line cannot aford to ignore. The democratic party of the nation, in 1872, after the amendment in question had been ratified, declared in their party platform that they would question the existence of questions growing out of the adopting the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. They declared as follows: "1. We recognize the equality of all before the law, and hold that it is our duty to ensure that dwellings with the people to meet out equit and exact justice to all, of whatever nativity, race, color, per "2. We pledge ourselves to maintain the union of these States, emmanu- lation of our enfranchisement, and to oppose any encroaching of the treatments settled by the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution. In addition to making the foregoing declaration, they named Mr. Greeley as their standard bearer, and, in his letter of acceptance, among other things, he said: "All the political rights which have been acquired through our late bloody convolution must and shall be respected and enjoyed, respected forevermore." Since 1876 there has been a growing interest on the part of the democratic leaders of the south, with the acquiescence of their party in the mouth, to disregard the provisions of the constitution and the seventh amendments. By one measure they have deprived thousands of white and colored republicans of the rights that are guaranteed them by the constitution of the United States. The process has been gradual, but at the same time it has been certain and effectual. At first their efforts were confined to like South Carolina and Louisiana, but, by 1876, they could with immunity deprive the people of their rights they became emboldened, and now the hydra-headed monster of violence and fraud is projecting itself into states wherein, herefore, we have had reasonably fair election laws. The last election, in so far as eastern North Carolina is concerned, was that a democrat can be found who has a hardihood to say that it was a fair expression of the will of a majority of the voters of North Carolina. Fifty counties, containing considerably less than half the white population of the state, and four-fifths of the negroes, gave a majority of 5,414 for the amendment; half 48 counties, gaining more than half of the white population of the state, and four-fifths of the negroes, gave 3,186 majority against the amendment. Thus it will be seen that the democratic party of North Carolina has not deprived the colored man of the right to have his vote counted as cast, but they have colored man to nullify the vote of the white man who is in favor of free institutions. These figures show that the cry of negro domination is a snare and a delusion, and that it is resorted to for the express purpose of enabling the party in the south to prevent anything that would obstruct theation of the great economic and financial questions that are now being discussed by the American people. It is one of the many instances in which they have raised a false cry for becloud the situation, and thereby obscure the real questions at issue. As an evidence of their inconsistency, I call attention to the fact that the democratic party obtained exclusive control of affairs in North Carolina in 1876, and continued in power until 1895, during which time there was no effort made by them to deprive any of our citizens of the rights guaranteed them by the constitution of the United States, but after the campaign of 1896 it became evident to the leaders of the democratic party that thousands of our citizens, the laborers, were beginning to realize that the principles of republicanism were best calculated to promote the real welfare of the country, and then it was that the leaders of the democratic party raised the cry of negro domination. By use of force and fraudulent methods they succeeded in obtaining control of our affairs, and securing the adoption of an amendment to our constitution which is in migrant violation of the fifteenth amendment. The situation is one that deserves earnest attention of everyone who is in favor of a republican form of government. The American people are confronted with the proposition as to whether or not it is our duty as a nation to enforce the fifteenth amendment to the constitution, and we are not to enforce the amendment in question it should be ebrogated at once. It would be unwise and unjust to abrogate the fifteenth amendment, and while the democrats favor its repeal they are afraid to say so in their platform. The issue is raised, and can be handled an immediate settlement at the hands of the American people. The welfare of the people of the south is involved in its consideration and there can be no settled condition of affairs in that section of the country until the laws has been settled one way or the other. The democratic party of the south wields a wonderful influence in the electoral college as well as in the house of representatives, by virtue of the fact that our numerical strength is augmented by counting the negro as a citizen, and by counting the unfair to count the negro in the federal enumeration, and thereby increase our representation in congress and in the electoral college, and then refuse to count his ballot. The proposition is illogical, and is in conflict with the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, which should not be tolerated for a moment. It is amusing to hear our democratic friends talk about the "consent of the governed," in view of their conduct in North Carolina, South Carolina and other southern states, wherein, by reason of the unlawful methods, they have denied the right to white and colored voters of the rights guaranteed them by the constitution. In that section we are confronted with the rankest kind of imperialism, and the wonder is that Mr. Bryan does not take time to condemn those within our borders who deny the citizens of the United States the rights of the immunities to which they are entitled under the constitution which he has taken an oath time and again to maintain. It is now in order for Mr. Bryan to take the people of the United States na to whether he is in favor of the enforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, the constitution of the United States. When the republican party was organized its mission was to free the slave, uplift the down-trodden and preserve the union, and to-day it stands for the enforcement of the rights of the American citizen in accordance with the provisions of the organic law of our land. In its treatment of those who have become our wards as a result of the war with Spain it has been actuated by the same spirit which inspired its conduct at the time when it struck from the limbs of four and a half million human beings the shackles of slavery. It stands for human liberty, and where'er the stars and stripes are to believe it has the courage to secure the enforcement of all the rights that are guaranteed to an American citizen. Marshall, N.

"The Afro-American Soldier Has the Faculty of Coming to the Front When He Is Needed Most-He is a First-Class Fighting Man." Gov. Theodore Roosevelt has explained to a reporter his reported antipathy to the Afro-American soldier. In Scribner's magazine for April, 1899, there appeared an article by Mr. Roosevelt, which the democrats assert reflected upon the bravery of the Afro-American soldier. This article has been used as a campaign document, and has been widely circulated among the Afro-American people of the country, the democrats hope to make a mountain out of a mole hill," said Gov. Roosevelt. "In the article referred to I made mention of an incident that happened at San Juan hill. Case of a Captain's Order. "I had orders to hold a certain position, and was supported by the Tenth cavalry (Afro-American). The position was uncertain, and we needed every man available to make the stand. Two or three of the Afro-American soldiers started to the rear in search of water, as ordered by their captain. I rebuked the captain for lessening our force, and commanded the men to remain. The statement I made after that, so near as I can remember, was "I have orders to hold this hill, and I intend to do it. I will shoot any man that grows up this position." "This is the whole story in a nutshell, and the effort of the democratic to make political out of the simple incident shows what small campaign methods they are capable of using. Prates Black Men's Bravery. "My position with the Afro-American people is too well known for these political issues, but I understand under what I would be the last man, the world to say anything against the Afro-American society, because I know of his bravery and his character. He saved my life at Santiago, and I have had occasion to say so in many articles and speeches. The rough riders were in a bad position when the Ninth and Tenth cavalry came rushing up the hill carrying everything before them. "The Afro-American soldier has the faculty of coming to the front when he is needed most. In the civil war he can strategize, and I believe he saved the mines. He was an excellent work in all of the Indian combat and while I was in the west I had a number of opportunities of witnessing his wonderful work. He saved a massacre of the Seventh in 1890. Their Help at San Juan Hill. "At San Juan hill the Afro-American soldiers rendered an object lesson to all of the soldiers assembled there. They sung and fought and pushed the laggard troopers up the hill and the great victory at that point was theirs as much if not more than any of the soldiers there. "The Afro-American man can vote for whom he pleases. He can follow the dictates of his own conscience. That is why he has the franchise, to exercise it, and use it for his best advantage and the advantage of the country, which he has served so honorably with his sword, but I take great pleasure in saying that he is a first-class fighting man." The American people have a substratum for good sense, and although many listen to Bryan's peculiar financial theories, they will not vote for him on November 6. As soon as McKinley was elected in 1896 confidence was restored, and we have had prosperity ever since. Why change conditions to the hard times from 1892 to 1896? The colleges for the education of Afro-American youth in the south are crowded with students. McKinley prosperity has enabled parents to send their children off to school. In his inaugural address on the 4th of March, 1897, when he was entering upon his duties as president of the United States, William McKinley spoke out firmly against lynching. The hard-fisted wage earners are shouting for McKinley; the business men are longing for the reelection of McKinley; the sensible farmers are pulling for McKinley; the poor deluded dupes who were induced to vote for Bryan in 1896 are howling for McKinley; and the ladies, God bless them, are naming their babies "William McKinley." A cut of Frederick Douglass, intended for an Afro-American paper, fell into the hands of a white democrat of New Orleans, who wrote back to Chicago, upon a piece of dirty paper: "Thanks for your cut of Douglass. The children use it for sharpening their school pencils and find it the equal of sand paper in every respect." This is a good illustration of the bitter prejudices held by southern democrats against the greatest man the Afro-American race has ever produced. YOU READ THE APPEAL THE APPEAL.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1900. FOR PRESIDENT WILLIAM MCKINLEY FOR VICE-PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEYELT Yes, we'll yell "All is well!" the night of the 6th of November. If Bryan is elected the financial system of our country will be destroyed. Bryan is a dreamer, theorist; McKinley a practical, sensible man. Bryan reminds one of a boy chasing thistledown, the way he gallops around the country. SAMUEL R. VAN SANT, Republican Candidate for Governor of Minnesota ..... BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Some papers are claiming that Booker T. Washington is a Democrat. This is not true. Mr. Washington, in a speech in Washington, D.C., said: "I am not a politician, but I am a Republican." President McKinley and Mr. Washington are close friends. Lincoln would be sorry he said anything if he could hear Bryan quote him so often. The great increase in the price of cotton in the south will make many votes for McKinley. When the chilly days of November come, cover Billy Bryan out of sight by your votes for McKinley. The Afro-American race has no truer friend than William McKinley, president of the United States. Afro-Americans employed in Washington by the district government draw about $50,000 per year in salaries. Bryan is already defeated, and he knows it, but he must keep up his continuous oratorical performance. President McKinley has handled the reins of government in a masterly manner; the people are satisfied and he will be reelected. In the general land office at Washington, there are 21 Afro-American clerks whose salaries amount to $26,264 annually. You cannot help the farmer by more coinage of silver. He can only be helped by more consumers of his products. As the election of McKinley becomes a greater certainty, the increase of confidence in security values continues steadily. The more Bryan talks, the more he convinces the people that he is not constructed of the sort of timber presidents are made of. The democratic platform declares against imperialism and militarism in the Philippines, but is silent on mob barbarism in America. The Macon Telegraph says: "The white south is determined to govern its own without the consent or participation of the black south." The rhetorical blunderer and financial theorist from the shallow Platte is as shallow a man as Shakespeare's famous character Shallow. In the south the "paramount issue" is "white supremacy." Mr. Bryan knows that, and yet he continues to talk about "subject races." Kentucky will fall into line this year. The republican national and state tickets will be elected by a majority which cannot be questioned. The Afro-American has better representation in the diplomatic and consular service under the McKinley administration than under any other. President McKinley has always listened to the representatives of the Afro-American race when they came to present the cause of the race. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER UNIVERSITY OF PROSPERITY ELECTORAL VOTE UNIVERSITY OF CALAMITY GOAL TYPE THE GREATEST GAME OF THE SEASCN AND A SURE TOUCHDOWN In China, a free silver country, millions of people live in boats, principally upon rats, rice and fish diet. Bryan is trying to induce us to do the same. The Afro-Americans will never turn from the republican party and go over to the democrats, who are daily murdering people of the race in the south. Bryan may talk all right, but if elect- THE GREATEST GAME he his acts will be in accord with the men who made him a presidential possibility, and these men are all against the black man. Many Afro-American speakers are being sent out by the national republican committee. The so-called doubt- ful states of the north are being flooded with them. The honest American wage earner is the peer of the biest blooded aristocrat in the world, and the dollar paid him for his toil must be kept an honest 100-cents dollar. Four years ago the Afro-American had only five officers in the United States army; two years later there were 266. They were commissioned by President McKinley. It is said that the northern democrat is opposed to the southern democratic injustice to the Afro-American. If so, why do they not object to it in the councils of the party? There is a bitter factional fight on between the democratic machines of the city of Baltimore and the state of Maryland, and this will make the state sure for McKinley. The Afro-American can never be charged with ingratitude. He realized what the republican party has done for the race, and will stand by the party in this campaign, as he has done in the past. Bryan is being jerked along the railways of the country at the rate of 60 miles an hour. Pretty rapid traveling that, but McKinley is clipping along toward the white house at an hundred miles an hour. The progress of the Afro-American race in 30 years of freedom has been more rapid than that of any other race recorded in history. A great deal of this progress should be credited to the republican party. Many of the men who wore tin roosters upon their hate in 1892 and then wore Cleveland badges upon the seats of their breeches for four years, voted for McKinley in 1896, and then they'll do it again this year. UNIVERSITY OF PROSPERITY ELECTORAL VOTE If Bryan, by some inscrutable set of Providence, should happen to be elected president, banks and business houses all over this happy land of freedom would tumble in ruins equal to Caracas during the historic earthquake. Bryan does not intend to apply the beautiful theories about the "consent of the governed" as enunciated in the Kansas City platform, to the Afro-Americans of the south. They are intended for use in far-away countries. The south has already disfranchised the Afro-American. Bourke Cockman and other prominent northern democrats favor the repeal of the fifteenth amendment. The democrats of both sections of the country have agreed to this proposition. Bryan's swinging around the circle recalls the activity and zeal of poor, demented Horace Greeley when he was chasing the presidential bee. Greeley died disappointed and crazy. Bryan may not die, but if he lives after November he will be a sadly disappointed man. The republican party cannot be justly charged with the injustice and wrongs suffered by the Afro-American people since the rebellion. The democratic party has almost invariably wronged the race, while the republican party has done much to right these wrongs. "Mr. Bryan," says the Waterbury American, "taunts the Afro-American with bestowing presidents on the republican party, which bestows jantorships on him in return. The Afro-American seems to prefer this to the hemp neckties with which the democrats decorate him." P. F. C. SIEVENS Republic on Candidate for Congress. From Fourth District. D. R. King If the Filipinos think they would enjoy liberty under a democratic administration they are very much mistaken. Let some of the brown people come to America and travel through the south and they would be consigned to Jim Crow cars and be subjected to all sorts of unjust discriminations. The Memphis Scimetar, one of the meanest democratic dailies in the UNIVERSITY OF CALAMITY TYPE RE TOUCHDOWN N. south, is very much exercised over Bryan's St. Paul speech, but it is, an unnecessary scare. Bryan would not, in the face of southern opinion, dare to appoint Afro-Americans to office or interfere to prevent the southern democrats from depriving the Afro-Americans of their constitutional rights. Bryan overlooks the deplorable condition of the Afro-American people in this country, he forgets that thousands are slaughtered in cold blood every year because they dare exercise their rights as freemen, but looks across the deep blue sea at the Filipinos, 8,000 miles away and pretends that he wishes to secure for those brown people the liberties he denies black people in America. The esteemed Chronicle (democratic) of Chicago pises to remark that Afro-American suffrage does not exist in the District of Columbia, which is controlled by the republicans. Neither does white suffrage exist. There is no discrimination whatever. The election laws of the south made by the democrats are so constructed that white men may vote, but Afro-Americans are debarred from their suffrage rights. Kansas and Mississippi each have seven congressional districts. The average vote for each congressman in Kansas is 21,053; in Mississippi 3,195. In Mississippi 27,187 persons hold in their hands, "without the consent of the governed," the destinies of 1,123,182 people. In Kansas the interests of 1,392,836 people are entrusted to 280,985 voters, for practically the same number of people. This is a crime against the political rights of Kansas and every other honest state in the union. The special grand jury which was empaneled at Akron, O., to pass upon the cases of the persons arrested in connection with the recent riots in that city has made a report, finding 65 true bills and returning 45 indictments. The list of persons against whom indictments were returned includes a member of the city council of Akron and a prominent business man. Ohio is a republican state. Such a thing would be impossible in any southern democratic state. In Arkansas, the home state of Chairman Jones, of the national democratic committee, the elections are conducted almost entirely by democratic officials. Nominally the republicans and populists have one judge at each precinct, but the judges are selected by the two democratic commissioners, and the republican commissioner has no voice in the matter. The republican commissioner recommends prominent merchants, planters and business men, but his two democratic associates reject these and choose in their stead men of no standing as republicans or otherwise, dead beats, dive-bums and loafers. Under these circumstances, thousands of republicans never go near the polls, knowing as they do that the elections are huge swindles. And they know that the law is such as to leave no remedy whatever. That was the intent of the law when enacted. 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 HOLY SACRED MUSEUM AMS AND METHODS The aim of this school is to do practical work with the ministry.

The Democratic State Committee has been pouring out money like water in the present campaign. Where does it come from? The letter printed below tells the story. Directly, it would seem to come from the office-holders under the Lind-Rosing machine; primarily it comes from the tax-payers and shows why every department of the present administration has been run at a much greater expense than under republican control.

Unfortunately there is an equal activity displayed by the extreme socialists in the rural districts of Biscay and in the industrial and mining country, almost to the very suburbs of Bilbao. In the suburb of Deusto is the open-air ball game ring, where thousands of socialists assemble on frequent occasions to denounce capital and the powers that be—J. Wright in Chicago Record. Gov. Bob Stewart, Bourbon and Democrat, was the most pictureque character who ever occupied the executive mansion in Missouri. He defeated Major James S. Rollins for governor in 1857. The governor was from St. Joseph and many are the stories told of this eccentric and erratic westerner. The following incident illustrates Gov. Stewart's keen noted throughout Missouri. It was sense of humor for which he was the custom of the governor to question the convicts in the penitentiary as to why they were imprisoned. The invariable answer was an avowal of innocence and of wrongful conviction. Finally, in his rounds he encountered one prisoner, who said he was imprisoned for horse stealing. "Are you guilty?" asked the governor. "Well, governor, I guess I am; I took the horses," rejoined the man in stripes. "Get right out of this penitentiary." Governor Stewart vehemently replied. "You will contaminate all these innocent men who have been wrongfully placed here." The fellow was released immediately and a pardon was filled out for him.

Dear Mr. LeSage:-- IN OLD BILBAO. Most Enterprising Spanishlands except the Catalans. Among other places along the Spanish coast the queen regent of Spain visited recently on board the royal yacht was Bilbao. This very important town is the capital of Biscay, one of the four sister provinces. It is beautifully situated along the banks of the river Nervion and surrounded by high and partly wooded hills. The old town is very uninteresting, with its ugly houses, many stories high, and badly paved streets. There are one or two fine churches, and the quaint, much-venerated shrine of Begonia, perched high up on one of the hills. The Bilbamous would never forgive Maria Christina if she did not take you youthful son to hear mass in that miraculous "basilica." The new suburb of Bilbao—Ensanche—is very modern and can vie with any other European capital, with its fine buildings and well laid out parks. The principal drive is by the waterside, along which coquetit villas extend. Where the river flows into the sea are two small suburbs called Portugalale and Las Arenas—seaside resorts with a fine hotels and bathhouses. A splendid iron bridge, invented by a Spanish engineer, connects the two banks; so high is it that vessels pass underneath. Vessels of 3,000 tons can go far up the river to the wharves where they take in their loads of the rich iron ore from the mines of Preamera, Goldames, Friana and Castro. Last year alone 5,000 vessels, mostly English, entered the port, carrying away 6,000,000 tons of iron ore. Many of the mines are worked by English companies, and in some aspects Bilbao reminds one of an English seaport. There is a very large British colony in Bilbao, the consul holding one of the most important posts in Spain. A quiet, restful looking cemetery nests on the bank of the river and the great vessels, as they pass, always dip their flags in token of respect to this tiny corner of British territory. The English sailors' home has been a great boon, as yearly it helps to keep 60,000 sailors out of mischief. The Bilbamous, as the people of Bilbao style themselves, are, next to the Catalans, the most enterprising of Spaniards. Since the war with the United States they have bought seventy foreign steamers of more than 2,000 tons each and have registered them in Spain, in order to undertake the carrying of their own ores to foreign countries. The same enterprising spirit is shown in their foundries, their manufactures of every kind and in the network of broad and narrow gauge railways all around Bilbao. T, R. KANE, Secretary. P. B.

I am very respectfully, SYNOPSIS OF AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN PROPOSED LEGISLATURE OF THE SAID STATE AT THE LAST SESSION THEORED, AND TO BE VOTED UNDER THE GENERAL ELECTION TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 6TH, 1900. By General Laws 1890, Chapter 92, it is proposed to amend Article eight. (8), Section six (4) of the Constitution. The section as now existing reads as follows: It is proposed by said chapter to amend the same so as to read as follows: The effect of the above amendment if adopted will be to authorize the investment of the permanent school and university fund of this state for a period of ten years, not less than twenty (20) years at an interest rate not less than three (3) per cent per annum, in the bonds of any county, school district, city, town or village of this state, when the bonds to be issued or purchased will be made in the form of such municipalities exceed fifteen (15) per cent of the assessed valuation of the taxable real property contained therein. The substantial change proposed by said amendment is to authorize such investments when the entire indebtedness, including the loan in question, does not exceed fifteen (15) per cent of the assessed property in such municipalities; whereas, exising constitution loans are permitted only where such total indebtedness does not exceed seven (7) per cent of the assessed valuation.
