r Now is the time for colored man
to come up and support the organ of
( their race. Will they do it is the
j question? cr will they continue to
their support to journals which
Heaves no opportunity unturned to
them.
a Gen. John AV. Knapp, acting
of the New York State
gCentra! Committee has just return
i<to New York city from a tour
that State and reports
(“that never in his inemorv have the
’Republicans of New York been
I more thouroughly harmonious.”

We hate to see a man refuse to
fora paper that advocates
tithe interest of his race, and then
goea oft’ and borrows his
copy, and that same fel-
wi'l nine time* out of ten sneak
rt into our sanctum and beg us to in
a notice of some kind for him
« The headquarters of the Repub
lican National Committee is situat-
Ted at 91 Fifth Avenue New York.
*and is a very commodious building
well adapted to the purpose*
Chairman Quay and Co!
is making every effort it
getting ready for the approaching
v
i; Ax editorial in the Atlanta Con
stitution a few weeks ago bad the
following caption to it “John Sher'
Tnan and His Coons.” With thi-
Insult stareing them in the face
spiindreds o! colored men will con-
Winue to subscribe for such journalc
.’instead of supporting the paper#
by their own race. The\
weserve to be kicked.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
The Evening Times of this city?
in an editorial in its issue of Mon
day last, tells some important truths
which the Democratic press of this
state has been forcibly denying in
the past. The editorial referred to
deplores the death of Commissioner
Casey ami calls attention to the fill
ing of the vacancy. The Times
particularity asks:
Why should not onr Commissioners be
named by our grand juries and then com
missioned by the Governor-
And caps the climax by stating
that:
It will be remembered that the Board of
Commissioners was created,andthe Governor
vested with this absolute appointing powers
to keep the county out of Republican bauds.
Well! Is not that a fact and an
important one, that a great many of
onr friends are not aware of. That
the. appointment of the Board of
Commissioners was to defeat the
wishes of a majority of the voters
in this county. It will be remem
bered that prior to I*6B the power
of cstabliseing precints was vested
in the Ordinary, at that time there
existed eight precints in this county
four of which were in the hallway
of the court house in this city, the,
other four were distributed equi dis
tance through the countiy districts;
where resided a majority of the Ro
publican voters which offered easy
access for them to the polls to cast
their votes. When that law was in
existence the county was always
safety carried by the Republicans
with good majoi ities. But that
state of things could not exist,
the Negro vote had to be suppress
ed. and the Board of Commission'
ers —a perpetual board, a board
that manages the affairs of the peo
ple of this county without their
consent, was appointed to do the
work, and they did that work ef
fectually by abolishing the country
precints. This ingenious plan to
defeat the wishes of a majority of
the voters ot this county, compelis
a large number of voters to walk a
distance of 10 to 20 miles to deposit
their votes.
Is that right! and when any law
is so construed by those in power
which effects, obstructs, or other
wise embarrasses a voter in his at
tempt to east his ballot, is not that
a virtual if not an actual suppres
sion ot the ballot. Upon that hy
pothesis no fair minded man will at
tempt to contradict the fact that
what we need is a tree ballot and a
fair count. That can only be brought
about by so amending the law as to
have the Board of Commissioners
elected by the people.
“CLEVELAND'S NEGRO CO
HORTS.''
A small body of colored men—to
their disgrace—met in Indianapolis
Indiana., on Wednesday morning
last and resolved themselves into h
Colored National Democratic Con
vention. J. Milton Turner called
the mob together, ». heu Tim F r
tnne raised the devil by moving
that all outsiders should be reauv
ed from the shanty. Tim was not
able to do it himself but ei j >iu
some one else to carry out his plan;
right there and then trouble com
menced. C. H. J. Taylor was de
nounced as a national buffoon and
the vile epithets that was hurled at
each other well characterize the »s
--embly. Alter considerable brnis
ng of each other shins and the de.--
ruction of a few chairs Peter 11.
Clark of Ohio, was declared elect
ed chairman; after which the Cleve
land Negro Cohorts” as the News
•I this city characterize them, ad
journed to the next day. We sup
pose they will adopt a few resolu
'ions paying respects to their mas
'ers and go back to their homes to
be kicked again by their best
friends (?).
THE FREEDMEN'S BANK BILL,
The bill offered by Hon. John
'■'Herman, appropriating a sum suf
ficient to pay the balance due the
defrauded depositors of the Freed
nen’s bank, passed the United
states Senate. The bill is not yet
t law, as is erroneously supposed by
'ome. It will now have to be acte 1

GIVE THE NEGRO A CHANCE
The Peterburg (Va.) Herald in
an editorial in its last issue, strikes
the nail on the head when it says
the Republican National Commit
tee should see that colored men are
placed on the stump during the
campaign. We agree that the Ne
g.o should be placed on the stump
and le<. him ted his own taie. He
c in strike the sympathies of those
inclined to treat him right, winch
tale would be more effectual than
the gush of the average politician-
By all means place colored men in
a position where be can tell ot his
wrongs, how his race is being treat
ed “by his best friend” (?)- Let
him Inform the nation of his depri
vation of such rights as i- neccessu
ary to conduce to his progress in
life, aud then in Novcmoer next a
just verdict might be cmiained, ac
cording the party of right and jus
tice Urn duty of holding the poi.-e
in equal balance fur ah men with
uul regard to previous condition.
