The Negro In Politics.
What promises to be a larj.e and
important convention of colored men
will b; held in Atlanta on the 23rd inst.
1\ Hampton White, a prominent
colored man from New York, who will
attend the convention, in an interview
with a Washington city paper, says:
“Yes, these is politics in the con
vention. The main object will be to
impress upon our people the necessity
of a division of sentiment. The time
has come for the negro to do a little
thinking for himself. We have been
made the tool for the republican party
long enough and now we propose to
show what we can do.’’
“The republicans have never kept
faith with the negro, as I will show.
In the last campaign the r.egro was
told that if he’d vote for the grand old
party this time and restore it to power
the republicans in congress would pass
the ISIair bill,which you know, has been
the light in the tower that kept the
negro in hnc with the republican party.
We were also promisted hatthe Freed
man’s savings bank bill would by pass
ed, but their promises are never kept.’’
"The only salvation to the negro is
to split his vote. I.et the negroes
take an independent position in poli
tics. If the democrats in the north or
south nominate good men for office,
let us support them; and if the repub
licans better men, I say vote ior the
rcpnblican candidates. By pursuing
such a course both the great parties
will treat us with the consideration wc
deserve, and our rights will be belter
protected.”
“Carpet-baggers have done more to
engender bad leehng between the
the whites and black's in the south than
all the election Irauds put together.
There is good feeling as a rule in the
sout i between the two races, and wc
want to increase lhat feeling. I be
lieve that th - ; Atlanta convention will
sow good seed, and that it will bring
(orlh good fruit.”
That, story about the sun being
ninety millioo miles from the earth is
myth. It has been closer than that
this summer.
Mr. Wilkinson has drawn the cap!
tal p:ize, in the south, the daughter of
the confederacy, Winnie Davis. God
bless her.
Tom Reed still holds the house and
senate by the nape of the neck and the
slack of the trowsers. And Thomas
appears to have a pretty firm grip.
The allianccmen of the third district
are, it is said, in favor of beating Crisp
for congress, and it would be a fatal
mistake to beat him at this juncture of
our national affairs.
Jin. Brown—“Was it not Jsad
about Mrs. Smith? She died this

Tom Wool fork, the Bibb county
murderer, has improved wonderfully
within the past month. Five weeks
ago lie was little more than a living
skeleton and his speech indicated
that his mind wns wandering. Now
lie talks as sensibly ns any ordinary
man, has a good appetite and weighs
about 150 pounds, which is nearly as
much ns he ever weighed since his
confinement in the Bibb county jail.
It is announced that the Alabama
Terminal mid Improvement company
will build immediately the Montgom-
ery, Tuscaloosa nnd Mcuphis railway,
from Montgomen-, Ala. This will
connect though Tuscaloosa with the
Illinois Central railroad and the

and that they would hold a mass meet
ing here July lotliin measure candi
dates by its demands. He came here at
once, and was present at the mass
meeting Thursday, making a ringing
speech against any such step.
President Rogers remarked to the
Morning News correspondent lhat as
soon as he read the demands of the
‘yardstick,’’ he knew that the destiny
of the Florida alliance was hanging by
a slender thread in the hands of some
of the members here, and tint he de
termined to save it.
The mass meeting did not ra.ify the
published ‘ yardstick” bu f appointed
a committee of three to formulate a
modest appeal to candidates, not a
demand of p’edges from them, as the
proposed measure was. All refer
ence to the sub-treasury bill and rail
road commission was cut out.
President Rogers said to the Morn
ing News correspondent that the al
liance should not be made a political
machine as long as he was at its head;
that it was the policy of the alliance
not to antagonize; the moneyed in
terests ot Florida, or to dabble in prh!
tics, but to work lor the advance and
betterment o* ihe laboring classes.
The above special to the News will
be read with inlercst in Georgia. We
commend this sober, second thought
ot the alliancetnen of Florida, to the
men in Georgia who insist on measur-
candidatcs by the sub treasury
yardstick.
Killed in Indiana.
Referring to crimes committed
nortli and souih, the Constitution
says:
“The Indianapolis Sentinel is gen
erally a fair and out-spoken newspaper
and condemns ihe wrong as valiantly
as it upholds the rignt. In a recent
editorial, with the caption, “Killing
Niggers in Henry County,” it recites
certain facts, in which the banner re
publican county oflndiaha shows up
badly.”
Last winter, near New Castle, In
diana, an inoffensive negro named
Ladd was murdered. He had, it was
said, committed some trilling offense,
for which he was pursued by o mob,
led by C. M. Lake, justice of the
peace, and member of the republican
central committee of Henry county,
and though he made a desperate effort
to escape and begged hard for his life,
he was brutally shot to death. The
man, Lake, was indicted for the mur
der, but his trial, which has just ended,
resulted in his acquillal. We quote
the following comments on this tragedy
from the Indianapolis Sentinel:
It was a brutal and wanton crime,
and if it had been committed in the
south, would have been the text of
furious bloody-shirt harangues in con
gress, and no end of inflammatory
articles in the republican press. But
as it occurred in the banner republi
can county of Indiana—a county which
in 1888, gave Harrison nearly twice
as many votes as it gave Cleveland—
the republican politicians and news
papers have ignored it.
It thus appears that in the banner
republican county of Indiana, ‘Tig-
gers” can be slaughtered with im
punity. Ingalls, Chandler, Reed &
Co. ought to set on foot a congress
ional investigation. If they fail to
make any move in that direction,
hope that some of our democratic
senators or representatives will lake
the matter up. The country ought to
be put in possession of all the facts of
tl'.is bloody business.

The Whites Increasing Faster than
the Blacks.
A dispatch from the Washington,
says:
It is a’most too early yet to indulge
in comments on the general result of
the census, but it may be stated lhat
while the rate of increase in the north
ern and Atlantic slope states has been
the same as usual, the wr stern states
have increased at an almost fabulous
rate. Of the southern states, Alabama,
Georgia and Texas will show a mar
velous increase of population, but the
other southern states will remain about
the same.
In this connection it may be men
tioned that it is verv probable lhat
this census will show lhat the rate of
increase among the blacks has fallen
far behind the rate ot increase of
the whites, a fact which will go to dis
prove many of the statements regard
ing ihe fecundity of the colored race.
The census bureau is now enumerating
the retnrns at the rate of 1,000,000 a
day.
