Republican "national“ticket.
FOR PRESIDENT !
GEN. BENJAMIN HARRISON,
Os Indiana.
FOR VICE-PRESIDENT ;
HON. LEVI P. MORTON,
Os New York.
Col, E. C, Wade is spoken of as
the Republican candidate for the
second Congressional district of this
State.
Gen. Ben Harrison the Repub
lican candidate for President cele
brated his 55th birthday on Wed
nesday last.
The purity of the ballot will be
sale this year, provided honest men
keep guard with loaded guns, —
Phila. Times:
The recent conventions of Repub
libans—both county and Congress
ional— was a pronounced su cess, so
far as harmony and unanimity was
concerned.
Our friends of Columbus propose
erecting a colored erphans home,
and the project seems to have tak
ing well with all parties. Success
to the undertaking.
Every btate of this Union that
will give a majority to General
Harrison and the Republican ticket
freely allows every legal voter to
vote as he pleases, and then honest
ly counts his votes. —Inter Ocean,
The Columbus Messenger made
its appearance as a setni-weeklv on
Wednesday last. Messrs. Harvy &
Maddox deserves success in their
new enterprize. "The only colored
semi-weikly in the world.” Miss
Mary A. Fountaine, a verp estim
able young lady is a compositor on
the Messinger.
We hope that Iri-h Americans
will discard all past alliances, put
aside all present fears and dread no
future conditions, in the single hope
of carrying to speedy victory a ban
ner inscribed with these devices;
‘‘Harrison and Morton,” "Protection
to American Labor and Industry,”
“Protection of American Citizens
at Home and Abroad.”—St. Louis
American Celt.
You will therefore think as you
please and then vote as you please.
The country is yours, the govern
ment is yours and you are responsi
ble for the success of the one and
the continuance of the other. Keep
your tempers under coutrol, set
your brains in motion, drop all irri
tating expletives, remember that a
man is not necessarily a fool because
he disagrees with you, that you are
not necessarly a fool because you
disagree with him, trust in Provi
dence, keep your powder drv and
go ahead. —N . Y. Herald.
The Negro vote of the South
will not be fully east and fully
counted until the Republican party
resumes the control of t.ie Federal
Government. All this is known to
the men who assembled in Indianap
olis. The trouble with them is that
they are professional Negroes and
propoe to trade with the side that
is for the moment in the as •endanvx
Just now that is the Democratic,
and we must expect such assembla
ges as long as that party is in pow
er. Most of the race, however, are
too honest and sincere to join such
a movement. They are willing to
forego temporary advantages in ord
*»r to struggle for their rights, and
they know that they must depend
for aid upon the Republican party,
and rhe Republican alone.- Al til

AN OUTRAGE—IS THE K, K. K
TO BE REVIVED.
Hon. Madison Davis and Col. W.
A.. Pledger were invited by the Re
publicans oi Washington, Wilkes
< ouniy Gm., a tew days ago to ad
diesn them in mass meeting, but we
are told by the Banner-Watch man
(Din ) of Athens, that the young
white men of Washington held a
large meeting and passed resolu
tions notifying the speakers not to
come in that town “if they do so,
trouble" will be the result.” Also
stating that the Democrats of Wilkes
is determined to control the ballot
box.
This is free speech with a ven
gene,e. When Republican speak
er make mention of just such ac
tions, the cry is raised by the Dem
ocratic press of the country that an
attempt is made to “wave the
bloody shirt.” it is far from our
sentiments to give any expressions
that would tend again to wave the
“rag.” But the Negro—better now
than any other time —learn that he
is guaranteed by the laws of the
laud the freedom of speech and that
guarantee Was sealed with the blood
of thousands of good men on both
.-ides. He should also see that it
be not taken away from him by the
threats of a few injudicuious y >ung
white men, who have no regard tor
the peace and good order of the
community in which they reside.
Pledger and Davis should meet
these opponent- like men, and let
there ult of this interference on the
rights of the peoole fall upon the
heads of its projectors. Colored
men of Wilkes be men once in your
life.
CORRESPONDENCE.
Bailey Mills, August 20, 1888
Editor Tribune; Dear Sir.—Less
than sixty days will bring id, to the
first election for Governor, Senators,
Representatives and other officers
of the State. Now, the time is
short Hud every colored man ought
to prepare himself for the tack
Under the laws of the State of
Georgia every male citizen attain
ing the age of twenty-one years
h..s a right and privilege to vote;
provided he has paid all taxes that
he had the opp<ttunity to pay since
riie adoption of the coii-rntjtion of
1877, and those arriving at the age
twenty-one years since December
15th 1887 lias a legal right to vote
in all the elections of this year with
out paying the taxes for last vear.
Every voter should qualify himself
before that time, and to vote for
men that will consider the interest
of the people with equal bearing.
No man oug t to be elected to re
present the people whose eves and
mind is blind with prejudice. As
ter the p ssage of the noted Glenn
Bill in the Legislature last summer,
one of the members said that he did
not like the bill, but as his rac >
were voting that way he votes with
them. The bill intended mischief,
and indeed its effect brought forth
mischief; "yes, and grave one. The
outcome of the Glenn Bill brought
forth a resolution that took away
the sum of §B,UOO dollars from the
Atlanta University where no otic
could feel the effect but colored stu
dents who are struggling up the
hill for an education. With these
facts gazing us in the face, can the
colored men of Georgia allow any
thing to stand between him and the
ballot box on the first Wednesday
of October next, to prevent him
from casting his votes lor the right
men. No voter should allow any
man or set of men to tamper with
his vote ior money considerations,
but every intelligent voter should
vote only for the men who can look
further than race prejudice; men
who will not stoop low enough to
buy a vote, men who the people
call to serve them, not men that sell
the people; men that will legislate
for the good ol all; men that will
recognize that a man is a man re
gardless to the liu ■of his skin. We
need such men in the Georgia Leg
islature, men that will not stoop to
bribe. Agiin let the Negro ris •as 1
he ought to rise to do honor to his
home and country; > se to lisehaige
his whole duty to m oi ;n d Go 1; rise
to put his feet upon every wrong re
garoless of race or nationality; rise
to represent himself in the councils
of his country, rise to obey the laws
of bis com.try; rise to put Ins ir n *
heel upon the nick of tjiv <»| pre---
ed and disturb* rs <»f good order. 1
0! let the Negro rise high r n d
higher in the scale of civilization.;
At the approaching elections let the
Negro show himself worthy of free
dom and the privelige to vote. Men
of Georgia qualify yourselves and
vote rightly.
