KEEP THE FLAG FLYING. DEMOCRATS STILL OPPOSE THE AFRO-AMERICANS PROGRESS: Aud are Responsible for all Enactments for the Oppression of Afro Americans From the Fugitive Slave Law to the North Carolina Disfranchisement. When I was set apart to the office of bishop, the then Senior Bishop J. J. Clinton took me aside and told me that it would not be well for me to continue to take an active part in politics. I have tried to follow his advice, but have had sometimes the experience of which Bishop Moore once complained. Some one said that he as a bishop ought not to meddle with politics. The bishop said the trouble was that politics would not let him alone. When politics quit bothering him he would quit bothering with politics. In this year of grace politics seems to have much to do with the bishops. Several have found it necessary to deny the statement that they have become democrats. So far as I know, no public statement to that effect has been made respecting myself. But as I have traveled attending to my Episcopal duties I have learned that a report has been circulated that Bishop Hood has turned democrat. And I have found my people much excited over it. And I do not blame them for the feeling manifested. For the Afro-American who forsakes the interest of his people at this time deserves their contempt. They are not ignorant respecting political conditions, as some profess to think. They understand the situation and know how to vote. Neither are they indifferent, as some would make believe. It is true that large numbers in some sections failed to vote, but it was not the result of indifference, but because they were not permitted to register. There never has been a time in which they were more anxious to vote, and if they had been permitted to do so ninety-nine out of every hundred would have voted against the amendment. The multitudes which are now leaving North Carolina, many of them at a great sacrifice of property, is an indisputable evidence of the widespread discontent. The democratic party is responsible for every enactment for the oppression of the Afro-American, from the passage of the fugitive slave law, the sum of all villainies enacted about 50 years ago, down to the latest act of disfranchisement in North Carolina. It has also opposed in the national congress every measure proposed in the interest of the Afro-American race. With this record in view, how any self-respecting Afro-American can be an honest democrat is a mystery beyond comprehension. No democrat in North Carolina who knows me would believe me sincere if I pretended it. I should lose their respect as well as my own. Besides this, I do my own thinking, and there is not an important plank in the democratic platform to which I could honestly subscribe. I believe in protection to American industry. The tendency of the democratic doctrine is toward free trade, to which I am unalterably opposed. I believe in a dollar worth 100 cents. The tendency of the democratic policy is toward a dollar worth only about 47 cents. I know they claim that by legislation they can make 47 cents' worth of silver equal to 100 cents; but I do not care for a metal dollar which needs that kind of help to make it go. I want the standard of value to rest upon a dollar which stands upon its own merit. The gold dollar is such, and therefore is the universal standard of values. I believe in expansion, which was once a democratic doctrine when an outlet for the extension of slavery was desired; but even in that a falling from grace is now witnessed. I might mention other points of difference, but think this sufficient to show that I could not be an honest democrat, even if I had a grievance against the opposite party—which I have not. THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 27.1900. The Republican National Platform. THE NEGRO DISFRANCHISED THE FIRST STEP INTO A NEW SLAVERY CAROLINA BALLOT BOX SENATOR TILLMAN IN CONGRESS-"We do our best to keep every negro in our State from voting" "There is no longer controversy as to the value of any government obligations. The value of any government its assured equivalent, and American credit stands higher than that of any nation. labor is probably occupied and everywhere on Prosperity and the War. "No single fact can more strikingly tell the story of what Republican government has done during the whole period of 107 years, while during the whole period of 107 years, 1780 to 1897, there was an excess of exports over imports of only $83,628,497. of the present.

"We renew our allegiance to the principle of the gold standard and declare our commitment to the LYTH congress, by which the parity of all our money and the stability of our security on a gold basis have been secured." "We recognize that interest rates are a potent factor in production and business growth. We recognize that rates of interest we favor such monetary legislation as will enable the varying needs of our economy to be managed to be prompted in order that trade be evenly sustained labor steadily employed and commerce enlarged. The volume of trade we demand is never so great per capita as it is today. "Firm Against Free Silver." "We declare our steadfast opposition to the treasury collation of silver. We measure to the extent that we are endowed which was without the support of the leading commercial countries of the world. We claim that the collation may seem to have secured the country against the perils of base and disarray. We claim that the collapse of a Democratic president could not prevent the country's credit and to bring once more into question the intention of the American government. We standard the parity of their money circulation." "The Democratic party must be convinced that American people will never be denied the right to vote." **Law Laws Against Trends.** "We recognize the necessity and propriety of to meet new business conditions, and especially to extend our rapidly Increased spiracies and combinations intended to restrict business, to create monopolies, to restrict such legislation as will efficiently restrain and prevent all such abuses, protect and promote competition and secure all who are engaged in industry and commerce. **Reciprocity to Aid Labor.** "We renew our faith in the policy of protection to American labor. In that policy our industries have been established, THE NEGRO DISFRANCHISHER THE FIRST STEP INTO A NEW SLAVE CAROL BALLOT BOX ESS—"We do our best to keep every diversified and maintained. By protecting the market the competition has been stimulated and the opportunity to the inventive genius of our people has been secured and wages in every industry, rates, higher now than ever before, distinguishing our working people among those of any constituent country. Enjoying blessings of American common school, secrecy of the light of self-government and protection in the workplace, markets, their constantly increasing knowledge and skill have enabled them finally to produce goods and services. "We favor the associated policy of reciprocity so directed as to open our markets, the further interest of American workers in the construction of the immigration of cheap labor, foreign lands, the extension of opportunities to children, the raising of the age-limit for child labor, the protection of free labor as an effective system of labor insurance. "Our present dependence upon foreign shipping for nine-tenth of our foreign carriages this country. It is also a serious danger to our trade, for its sudden withdrawal in our possession of European warriors would seriously cripple the national defense and naval efficiency of this country, moreover, supply a common defense to the nation, and enable us to recover our former place among the trade-carrying fleets of the world. For Liberal Pension Laws. "The nation owes a debt of profound gratitude to the soldiers and sailors who have served us in the war and the armaments' duty to provide for the survivors and for the widows and orphans of our country in wars. The pension laws, founded just this sentiment, should be liberal and should be liberally administered and prepared to be carried with respect to employment in the 1 public service to soldiers and sailors and to their widows and orphans. "Service in the Islands," we command the policy of the republican party in maintaining the efficiency of the civil service. The administration has the power to require public service in Cuba, Porto, Puerto Rico and the Philippine islands only those whose fitness has been determined by the commission. Employment in the public service in these territories should be confined as far as practical to the states. "Minimum restriction" the Ballot. "It was the plain purpose of the fifteenth amendment to the constitution to prevent discrimination on account of race or color in the public service of state government, whether by statutory or constitutional enactment, to avoid discrimination and should be implemented are revolutionary and should be approved, and we recommend this subject to the earnest consideration of the people of the legislatures of the several states. "We favor the extension of the rural force to serve wherever its extension may be justified. "Arid Lands and New States. "In further pursuance to the constant policy of the republican party to provide freezes, the public domain, we recommend adequate funding to claim the arid lands of the United States, reserving control of the distribution of water to the respective states and territories. "We favor nome sure for and the early authorization of stochood territories of New Mexico and Oklahoma. "Reduction in War Taxes. "The Dingley act, amended to provide sufficient revenue for the conduct of the war, will work that it has been possible to reduce the tax in the sum of $40,000,000. So ample are the government's revenues and so great is the importance of the integration of its obligations, that its ED RY INA negro in our State from voting* per cent bonds sell at a pre- mium. The country is now justified in their decision to bring about a reduction of the war taxes. "The Ishmian Caual. "We favor the construction, ownership, control and protection of an Ishmian canal by the government of the United States. For the increasing surplus of our farm produce. Every effort should be made to open and obtain new markets, especially in the country. We should be commended for its successful efforts to commit all trading and colonizing na- tion to the policy of the open door in China.

Americans to Be Protected. "The American government must protect the person and property of every citizen who are wrongly violated or placed in peril. "We congratulate the women of America upon their splendid record of public service as nurses in camp and hospital during the recent campaigns of our armies in the war against the Nazis, and we appreciate their faithful co-operation in all works of education and industry.

THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3-its correspondents are able and energetic. BISHOP HOOD ON ISSUES. DEMOCRATS STILL OPPOSE THE AFRO-AMERICANS PROGRESS. And are Responsible for all Enactments for, the Oppression of Afro-Americans From the Fugitive Slave Law to the North Carolinas Disfranchisement. I do not care to deal in personalities, hence I need not to say much about candidates. But I may remark that I have seen nothing to change my very high opinion of President McKinley. He has certainly done as well by my people as any president we have ever had. Much better than some who have been held in higher esteem by leaders of the Afro-American race. In my opinion, he has done more for the material development of the nation than any president we have had since the foundation of the government. Perhaps it may be said that he has had a better opportunity than any. Admitting that, it still remains that he has been fully equal to his great opportunity. Even his opponents praise his Chinese policy. But how could he have had a hand in that important matter if he had scuttled out of the Philippine islands, as some claim he should have done? I think it must be admitted that the delegations of the powers of the world at Peking owe their salvation to the wisdom of McKinley. And without the base of operations he had in the east he would have been powerless, and could only have viewed with horror a fearful tragedy at a great distance. This nation enjoys a respect among the nations it had never enjoyed before. If a great international war is averted at this time the credit will be due to McKinley more than any other man on earth. And it seems to me that all who have any interest in the nation's credit, welfare or destiny must support him now. The great battle between Christianity and heathenism seems to be approaching, and the Christian powers will do well to be careful in the selection of their standard bearers. The race question will dwindle into insignificance inside of a hundred years. The Afro-American will be called for by and by to stand with his white brother in the contest which is to open the way for Christian civilization in all lands. Then— "We shall know each other better, When the mists have rolled away." J. W. HOOD. (Benior Bishop A. M. E. Zion Church, with 500,000 Members.) NATIONAL REPUBLICAN PLATFORM (Continued from Fifth Column.) "We commend the part taken by our government in the peace conference at The Hague, which we have been obliged to the policy announced in the Monroe doctrine. The provisions of the Hague convention were wisely regarded when President Roosevelt announced the policy in the interest of peace between Great Britain and the South African Republic. We affirm that the policy prescribed by Washington, affirmed by every succeeding government, and imposed by every succeeding government, of intervention in European territory, of the American people earnestly hope that a way may soon be found, honorable alike to the American people, to terminate the strife between them. "In accepting by the treaties of peace the just responsibility of our victories in the Spanish war the president and the senate won the undoubted approval of the Amor de la Independencia, and more than to destroy Spain's sovereignty throughout the West Indies and in the Caribbean, the honorary duty of our responsibility before the world, and with the unorganized population whom our intervention had freed from Spain, to prosecute and for the establishment of good government, and for the performance of international justice and to confer the power to be less than our responsibility, and wherever sovereign rights were extended it became the high duty of the government to insure and to confer the blessings of liberty and civilization upon all the rescued people, and to confer the government consistent with their welfare and our duties shall be secured to them by law. To Cuba independence and self-government were assured in the same voice by which war was declared, and to the letter this pledge shall be performed. This pledge is its history and upon this declaration of its principles and policies confidently invoke the considerate and approving judgment of the American people."

STEVENS, Republican Candidate for Congress From Fourth District, Democratic newspapers publish column upon column of matter slandering the Afro-Americans. Rally on the center; touch elbows; clutch arms; charge all along the line, and victory is ours. George Smith, an Afro-American of Indianapolis, said to be 105 years old, declares that he will vote for McKinley. The 34 Afro-Americans who are employed in the Savannah (Ga.) post office draw salaries amounting to $34,940 per annum. The southern democrats always dominate in the national democracy. Pitchfork Tillman would rule in case of Bryan's election. The democrats of the south say that the Afro-American is all right—in his place. They assume the right to designate the place. PETER H. JOSEPH G. MILLER, For Railroad and Warehouse Commissitor. From all quarters comes the democratic shriek of "fraud." It is the old cry of "Stop thief!" uttered by the thief himself to throw the people off their guard. Twenty-eight millions of dollars is a great sum. That's what the Afro-Americans who hold government positions have drawn during the administration of President McKinley. Bryan with his Chinese tactics has been running around the country making a big noise and deluding himself with the thought that he is convincing people to vote for free silver. In the office of the collector of customs at Chicago, there are eight Afro-Americans, at an aggregate compensation of $7,087 per annum. The number on the pay roll is greater than at any previous time. The democratic party has never had any fixed principles or policies. It has ever been the blind instrument of every bad element that might for the time being be uppermost or seem to promise party success.

Bryanism pure and simple is the paramount issue, and that means Tillmanism, Altgeldism, free silverism, anarchism and all the other deadlyisms which threaten the very existence of the republic. The democrat of the south say that the Afro-American is unfit to travel in first-class cars and they have passed laws providing special "Jim Crow" cars for his accommodation. No republican legislature has ever passed a separate car law. PETER H. HARRIS IRA R. P. MILLS, For Railroad and Warehouse Commis- sioner. While President McKinley and other republican leaders hesitated, in the unprepared condition of the country, the voice of the democratic party was FREE TION SEEMS TO BE PARAMO for immediate and unconditional war; but when the Spanish war was over and only the rightful authority of the government was to be maintained over its newly-acquired possessions, the attempt to maintain it became, to democratic minds, an evidence as in 1864, of imperialism. Appreciating the superior services of the Afro-American troops in the recent war with Spain, President McKinley decided to increase the number of regiments in the regular army, and on the 8th of September, 1899, issued an order for the organization of two new regiments of infantry, to be [Picture of a man with a mustache and a suit].

The Afro-American planters of the south have also handled their share of the $500,000,000 paid for cotton produced in that section. Bryan is holding his peace regarding the course of the southern states which have adopted constitutional amendments discriminating against Afro-American citizens in the exercise M. B. JULIUS H. BLOCK, For State Treasurer. of the right to vote. He will leave to the supreme court the duty of determining whether by this action the states have violated the constitution of the United States. With the possibility that some of the present justices may be retired and their places filled by such men as Altgeld and Tillman it is easy to infer what decision would be reached. Trusts, corporations and syndicates are not necessarily dishonest or injurious. Building associations managed and controlled by bona fide members are good things and benefit the members, assisting them to get homes and become good citizens. Tell City, Ind, was founded many years ago by a Swiss syndicate, every member of which was a participant in the enterprise, and it has been a decided success in a business, social and financial sense.

The president's lesson to the Afro-Americans: When President McKinley appointed the late ex-Senator Bruce to the position of register of the treasury considerable surprise was felt that he should select an Afro-American to fill so important a position. One day a friend asked him what his reasons were for appointing Bruce. "I have two," replied the president. "The first is the man's fitness for the position. The second is that Bruce's name will appear on every bank bill that will be issued by the government while he is in office, and every Afro-American who gets one of the notes can read on it the name of a man of his own race and see in it the lesson that, with economy, industry, honesty and ambition, this government will recognize him the same as it does men of a lighter color of skin." —Ladies' Home Journal. Former Senator Butler, of South Carolina, says there are no gentlemen in politics. That is probably true in the Tar Heel sense. Specimens like Tillman, who are seat up north to do democratic campaign work, are certainly not very gentlemanly in their manners. [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit].

Political Points The election of Van Sant and the entire state ticket by a plurality of from 18,000 to 22,000 is now conceded by the most conservative. * * * John H. Schulze's good work in renewing the records of the abstract office at slight expense to the county has convinced the voters that he is the right kind of a public official. * * * Washington county is not so apathetic politically. F. C. Stevens made a speech in the town hall at Afton last Wednesday night and as many people were turned away as got into the hall. * * * Ole Oace has never been an employer of bricklayers, like his opponent for the legislature in the Eighth and Ninth wards south of the tracks, but he has been a working man himself, and that will not injure him with the voters in his district. There is always danger that a candidate's friends will not worry about him if he has an apparent walkover, but M. W. Fitzgerald is not suffering from the over-confidence of his supporters. While the only question is the size of his majority, they are busy increasing it. Julius Block, the Republican candidate for treasurer, is carrying on his campaign under adverse conditions. A few weeks ago his son had a very near fatal accident from the effects of which he is still laid up, and now Mrs. Block is so seriously ill that her husband can only leave home for a few hours at a time. The election of Michael W. Fitzgerald, Republican candidate for register of deeds, is generally conceded, the Democrats making no claim that their man will beat him. Mr. Fitzgerald has proved himself, as chief deputy of the county clerk's office and of sterling marks, and will be a credit to the county as register of deeds. *** Congressman Stevens is receiving a good deal of commendation for his brisk fight in all parts of the Fourth district. He has been complimented for doing what he can for the state and county tickets with his telling speeches, for there has been no doubt of his own election by a much larger majority than he had over John W. Willis. F. C. Stevens is campaigning throughout the whole Fourth district with the sole purpose of rolling up such a majority that he will be given a better standing and a power to be of more use to his constituents in Congress than he has been in the past. About the efficiency of Mr. Stevens past work there is nothing but commendation possible. Among the Republican candidates for county commissioner is G. B. Whitehorne, who ought to be elected. He has been in the real estate business for sixteen years and is thoroughly posted on values. He is a valued member of the board of equalization. His office is the Globe Building. He has always been a Republican and is a fine gentleman in every way. Re THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER member to put an X after his name on Nov. 6. Phil C. Justus, Republican candidate for sheriff, is making a campaign characteristic of the man, clear-cut American. Justus is native of Ranseau county, a representative German-American citizen whose personal and business reputation is without a flaw. He has provided by the successful prosecution of his private business interests his competency to run a public office which is one of the most important of public trusts. John H. Schulze, the present incumbent of the abstract clerk's office, has filled the position so well for the JOHN H. SCHULTZ, For Abstract Clerk. past two years that the people of Ramsey county intend to keep him there for the next two years. He was born in St. Paul and the people all know him to be one of the squarers of Ramsey county and anywhere. For twenty years he was with R. A. Lancher & Co., and for three years was in the county auditor's office. Schulze is all right, you'll make no mistake in voting for him. Frederick Clement Stevens, who is at present representing the Fourth district of Minnesota in Congress for the second term, has been nominated for the third term, which is the best evidence possible that he has pleased the people of Minnesota for years. He needs no introduction to the patrons of The Appeal as his eloquent, manly speeches on many occasions, both in and out of the halls of Congress have made for him a warm place in their hearts. Moreover he practices what he preaches, for he now has as his stenographer, Mr. F. McMullen, who will be just such men in the next Congress to help reduce the congressional representation in those states South where the Afro-Americans have been disfranchised all Afro-Americans ought to vote for him. It is seldom that an official is so admirably fitted for the responsibility of his office that he is enabled to give universal satisfaction. Judge E. W. Bazille has elevated the Ramsey county probate court to the position of dignity commensurate with its importance; has purified the court of many objectionable practices and by the exercise of keen legal mind and the application of a practical knowledge of men's rights to the tasks imposed upon the probate court to the entire satisfaction of public and bar. Without exception members of the legal profession speak in most complimentary terms of Judge Bazille and the dignified yet unostentious way in which he discharged the multitudinous and arduous duties of his most trying office. His re-election by a handsome majority is generally conceded. Horace E. Bigelow, who is a candidate for a second term as county attorney, made such a good record duri- cation. He was elected and election are sure. He was born and bred in St. Paul in 1867 and graduated with the class of 88 at Williams College. Afterwards he took the law course at Columbia College, and commenced the practice of law in St. Paul in the spring of 1891. At first he was alone, but afterward became a OZONO IS KING BOSTON CHEMICAL CO. 310 EAST BROAD ST. RICHMOND, VA. member of the firm of Lawler, Durment & Bigelow, withdrawing to become a member of the law firm of Bigelow & Taylor. In 1896 he was elected alderman from the Fifth ward, and when re-elected his executive ability and clear insight into public matters were recognized by his election as the borer of the alderman, and thus acting mayor during Mayor Doran's absence. On Sept. 18th a whirlwind struck the Seventh ward and the Third and Fourth precincts of the Eighth ward, when Rukard Hurd, candidate for the legislature, walked off with fifty of the fifty-four delegates, the result of his first experience in politics. The result of his many years of business management, executive training and having the friendship, confidence and suspicious co-operation of the prominent business and professional men of the city. His methods, strong and winning personality, roused the Seventh ward as it has never been roused before. Well, he is from Oho. He was born in Cincinnati in 1858 and he says he is the kind of Republican "that mother used to make." He is a colonial-Revolutionary stock and for years he has been a leader, if not the fountain head, of every patriotic movement in the state. He is a natural born leader and his earnest, intense personality permeates his business, patriotic and public spirited work or whatever he un- RUKARD HURD, For Representative. Thirty-sixth District.

Nona know this better than the Afro-Americans of this city, who love and respect him for his many deeds of kindness. It is a great pleasure and honor to support such a man as Major Rukard Hurd. The candidates for railroad and ware house, commissioners on the Republican state ticket are Ira B. Mills and Joseph G. Miller for the four-year terms and Charles F. Staples for the two-year term. These gentlemen are men and favorably known to the voters of the state as beloved-minded men who have in view the interests of all people who are affected by their official decisions, and they can be relied upon in the discharge of their official duties to render due justice and consideration for all classes. Judge Mills, who was on the district bench for six years in the Fourteenth Court, is resident at Moorhead, Minn., is beloved and esteemed, who appreciate legal knowledge tempered with a sense of justice and equity and he has always shown these qualities in an eminent degree while serving in the capacity of judge in that section of the state. His serviles served for years on the railroad and warehouse commission, this state also particularly equip him for further usefulness in this direction. Mr. Miller, who resides at Two Harbors, Minn., has been dentified actively with the railroad business and will receive a hearty support from forty OUR GRAND OFFER Write to us at once, enclosing it: small sum of ONE DOLLAR, and we will immediately forward to you four large boxes of OZENO.

His knowledge of railroad matters will make him especially valuable in a technical sense on the commission. Mr. Charles F. Staples, of Dakota County, has been a successful fighter in the legislature for laws looking to such adjustment of railroad rates as would conduce to equitable treatment of farmers and shippers, at the same time having in view fair treatment and consideration of railroad companies and their employees. All these candidates are popular with the railroad employees, having been by them in their travels, over the difference of the offer for them, in advance, the hearty and sincere support of all classes of our citizens, including those who earn their living in railroad occupations. WILLIAM R. JOHNSON, For County Auditor. W. R. Johnson, Republican nominee for the second term as county auditor, was born in Oswego, N. Y., fifty years ago and came to Minnesota when his parents settled in Olmsted county in 1854. His early education was acquired in an old backwoods schoolhouse where he attended during the winter terms, working on the farm in the village. He left home and for a time led a nomadic life working on steamboats and railroading. In 1874 he came to St. Paul and was employed in succession at the Metropolitan and Merchants' hotels. In 1880 he became jitoror of the Franklin school and while engaged in this employment he attracted the attention of Prof. Tang, a whore connected with the school and by whose assistance he was able to better his education. In 1886 he received the appointment of secretary of the board of trustees of the Odd Fellows institution, on Fifth and Wabasha streets, which he held until elected auditor. In 1892 he was elected assemblyman from the Eighth ward and was twice reelected to the same office, officer and his election is almost a foregone conclusion. Help to make it a certainty by casting your vote for him. PHILLIP C. JUSTUS. For Sheriff, Ramsey County. Phil C. Justus has the immense advantage in his campaign for sheriff of New York, where he is a friend of friends, acquiring in a life's residence in this city. He is a typical representative of the solid German EDMUND W. BAZILLE, For Jduge of Probate Court. element of the population, fully qualified by a reputation for integrity, for the responsible office he is nominated to fill. His opponent is busy explaining the reasons why he goes through bankruptcy twice in recent years and is apparently solvent still. ALEXANDER LINDAHL Alexander Lindahl, the Republican candidate for county treasurer of Ramsey county, is making a wonderful canvas and is gaining friends and votes every day. He was born in Sweden in 1860 and came to the United States in 1878. He received a common school education and afterward completed a course in a business college. He married in 1887 and has six children. He has been in the jewelry business since 1886 and now has a first class establishment at 880 Payne avenue. From 1894 to 1898 he was a member of the city council of St. Paul as alderman from the First ward and gave general satisfaction. He is a member of the I. O. F., A. F., J. F., and A. F. of thegers and the Zodiac. He has no prejudice on account of color and a man is a man for a 'a' that with him. Remember him on election day. HENRY F. GALLICK, For Court Commissioner The office of court commission was scarcely heard of until the present incumbent, Henry Gallick, was elected. Since that time he has raised it to an office of dignity and importance and has filled it with remarkable ability, so much in, fact, that he has been chosen by his fellow Republicans to fill it again. He has proven himself the friend of the Afro-American on many occasions and deserves their support. For Representative, Thirty-third District. Ole H. Oace is making a vigorous canvass for representative in the district of the Eighth and Ninth wards, south of the Great Northern tracks. He is making daily inroads on the normal Democratic majority in that section. His friends are urging in his behalf that a Republican can do more for the city than Democrats in the legislature. The member can be depended upon to vote for Knute Nelson for United States senator. M. W. FITZGERALD. For Register of Deposits M. W. Fitzgerald, at present chief clerk in the office of clerk of courts, is the Republican candidate for register of deeds of Ramsey county. Mr. Fitzgerald is a poor man with only his salary to depend upon and therefore is not spending much money in his campaign, but he will get there just the same for his sterling worth is recognized on all hands by those who know him but it is. He has made no difference but it is that all classes of citizens will be treated fairly at his hands. His friends are legion among all classes and as he has on many occasions shown his kindly good feeling toward the Afro-Americans there is little doubt that he will receive their unanimous support. FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY An event of unusual and more than ordinary interest was celebrated at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Jeffrey, 143 11th street North, on Tuesday evening, Oct. 23, the occasion being their golden wedding anniversary, making a half century of married life, the house was tastefully decorated with a Collage, a gold and crimson being carried out; while cut flowers were in abundant evidence.

Music both vocal and instrumental, and some very appropriate and well, chosen remarks by Messrs. M. L. A. Lucas and sons, Harry and Lawrence, Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Jeffrey and daughter Marianne, and Marjorie Jeffrey, daughter of their oldest son, now living at Davenport, Iowa, and Mr. Jeffrey of New Haven, Conn. Oct. 23, 1850.

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.

When interviewed about the election in Hawaii, he said: An election in that country is something of a novelty, but the people are learning rapidly. When I left, a week ago Thursday about 6,000 of them were registered, and there was a prospect of many more of them registering in Honolulu. It is not difficult for a man to become a citizen there; all that is required is five hours of evidence and two men to swear to the state. The parties there have the same name these here, but that is all they have in common. The most of the candidates for office in the island are natives, who have no idea what the parties stand for in this country. The candidate for delegate to Congress, is of course, an American. The issues there are not closely defined. The Republican party is spoken of as being in favor of progress and the Democrats are simply an opposition party. A question of contention between the two candidates. From what I can tell the Democrats will win out, although the fight will close. The foreign element will influence the vote somewhat and it is difficult to say what side they will be on. ```markdown ``` --- ```markdown ``` L. A.

Pursuant to chapter 157 of the General Laws of 1887, I herewith file in your office synopsis of Amendment to the Constitution, as proposed by chapter 92 of the General Laws of 1889. I am very respectfully, SYNOPSIS OF AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN PURCHASED THE LEGISLATURE OF THE SAID STATE AT THE LAST SESSION THEREFORE, AND TO BE VOTED DURING AT THE GENERAL ELECTION TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 6TH, 1900. By General Laws 1800, Chapter 92, it is proposed to amend Article eight (5), Section six (6) of the Constitution. The section as now existing reads as follows: Section 6. The permanent school and university fund of this state may be in county, school district, city, town or village of this state, but no such investment of the state may be made by commissioners designated by law to regulate the investment of the permanent university fund of this state. The permanent university investment be made when the issue of, which the same in part would make the county, is made, or the percentage of the assessed valuation of the taxable real property of the county, such bonds; or shall such loans or indebtedness be made at a lower rate of interest for shorter period than five (50) years, nor for a longer period than twenty (20) years, and no change of the town, county, or school district, which shall relieve the real property in such town, school district, county, village or county, of such bonds from any liability of such bonds from any liability for taxation to pay such bonds. 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 (4) or 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 entire bonded indebtedness 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 valuation of such municipalities; whereas, under the existing constitution loans are permitted only where such total indebtedness does not exceed seven (7) per cent of the assessed valuation.

Deep down in their hearts the Democrats know that they can not win in Illinois, but they must make some sort of a bluff. Be sure to make a vigorous fight for the Republican candidates for congress in every district where there is a possible chance of election. A Republican congress is needed to uphold the president. The wage earner who works a full day is entitled to full pay in honest money for his toil. A 50-cent dollar is not honest money, and Bryan knows it. American honor is involved in the question of the American dollar. Both must be preserved unattainted. If you wish your wife and little ones at home to continue happy and contented, vote for McKinley. ST. PAUL. MOST WORSHIPFUL GRAND LODGE OF MINNESOPA, A. F. AND A. M. JOHN N.
