Saturday june 2, 1888
i The members of the Baptist con
prenticn will be always welcomed at
jthe Tbibuns office,
Savannah extends a hearty wel
|come to the Georgia Baptists and
itheir visiting friends to the centen
f nial.
! Col. W. A. Pledger has annonnc
i ed himself for the Legislature from
I Clark county. We congratu'ate
' the colonel on his pluck, and hope
he will ‘‘get there.”
The National Prohibition conven
tion nominated Clinton B. Fisk for
[President and Jebn A, Brooks of
1 Kansas for Vice-President on
t Thursday last.
Das. Embry and Lee have been
re-elected to the position of Mana
l ger and Editor of the Christian Re
corder. We greet the gentlemen
on their success and extend our
hand.
Do colored ladies and gentlemen
get the same accommodations on
the suburban lines, hs our white cit
izens? If they do not, they should.
That matter has been decided by the
proper authorities.
We wonder it some of the subur
ban lines railroad officials are aware
that “rule 11” which was recently
adopted by the State commissioners
is still a law. If they do not, they
should be made to uudertand that,
it is the law in tact.
Miss Rhoda Gaines, neice o
Dr. Gaines, toe newly elected Bish
op of Georgia, was forcibly ejectet
from the ladies car on the Georgia
railroad at Conyers yesterday morn
ing by a gang of white ruffians.
The conductor was a party to the
brutal outrage. More in our next
issue.
Mr. T. T. Fortune of New York
is out in a long letter in the New
York Sun, declaring bis intention
to support the Democratic nominee
of the St. Louis convention for Pres
ident, whoever he may be. The
Republicans of New York are not
worried over Mr. Fortune’s declara
tion—they counted him that way al
along.
If colored men and women (while
travelling) do not demand equal ac
commodation on railroads aud steam
ships, it will be their fault
it they are placed in a ‘‘Jim
Crow” car. or stored forward on a
steamer. We know attempts have
heeu made to thus treat our race,
and when the issue is forced upon
v >u »should proceed as the law
un ects in such cases, made and pro
vided. A firm and persistent de
maud to be treated like a man, will
bring about the desired result, and
it is the duty of our people to see
to it and not submit gently and
tamely while they are being depriv
vi their rights,
The many handsome improve
ments that for the past twelve
months that are being made by our
colored fellow citizens on their
church buildings, halls, and the erec
lion of so many neat comfortable lit
tie homes is certainly indicative of
the thrift and industry of their race,
'i hese are the oest evidence that
tiie race is progressing and is deter
mined to move onward aud upward
We are at all times pleased to note
these signs of advancement for it is
surely the harbinger of better times
mid will surely force that manhood
recognition ti.nu the dominant race,

BLAINE POSITIVELY DE
CLINES.
Paris, May 17, 1888*
Whitelaw Reid, E»q. } Editor of the New
York Tribune ;
My Dear Sir—Since my return to Paris
from southern Italy on May 8.1 have learn
ed (what I didn't before believe) that my
name may yet be presented to the National
convention as a candidate for the Presiden
tial nomination of the Republican party.
A single phrase of my letter of January 25
from Florence (which was decisive of every
thing I had -personal power to decide), has
been treated by many of my most valued
friends as not absolutely conclusive ir uhi<
mate and possible contingencies. On the
other hand, friends equally devoted and dis
interested have construed my letter—as it
should be construed to be an unconditional
withholding of my name from the national
convention. They have, in consequence,
given their support to eminent gentlemen
who are candidates for the Chicago nomina
tion, some of whom would not I am sure,
have consented to assume that position if I
had .desired to represent the party in the
Presidential contest in 1888 If I should
now by speech or by silence by commission
or omission permit my name in any event
to come before the convention I should incur
the reproach of .being uncandid with those
who have always been candid with me. I
speak therefore because I am not willing to
remain in a. doubtful attitude. I am not
willing to be the cau-e of tlie misleading of
a single man among the millions who have
given me their suffrages and their confidence
I am not willing that even one of my faith
ful supporter, in the past should think me
capable of paltering in n double sense with
1 my words, Assuming that the presidential
nomination could by any possible chance be
offered to me I could not accept it without
leaving in the minds of thousands of tho-e
men the impression that 1 had not been free
from indiscretion, and therefore I could not
accept it at all. The misrepresentation* of
malice have no weight nut the just displea*
sure of friends I could not patiently endure.
Republican victory, the prospects of which
grow brighter every day, can be imperilled
only by lack of unity in council or by acri
monious contest over men. The issue of
protection is incalculably stronger and
' greater than any man for it concerns the
, prosperity of the present and of generations
yet te come. Were it possible for every vote
of the republic to see for himself the condi
tion and recompense of labor in Europe,
the party of free trade in the United States
would not receive the support of one wage
i worker between the two oceans. It maygnot
| be directly in our power as philanthropist*
to elevate the European laborer,Jbut it will
be a lasting stigma upon our statesmanship
if,we permit the American laborer to be
forced dowu to the European level, and in
the end the rewards of labor every where will
be advanced if we steadily refuse to lower
the standard at home, Yours very ainceraly
JAMES G. BLAINE.
