ALBERT WINTER, Rnn. 31.ni. 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 morning while trying on n n„wj a dress.” Mrs. Jones—“No do you don’t say so! How very dreadful! What wns it trimmed with?.” ———— 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 ?,f! With lie iMhuniile k niJ tioj^f ptyc on one of the greatest lines in the West, as the extension is put n continuation of the Alabama Midland. 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. Sulphur:-: Springs, Suwanee, Florida.
