THE WHITE MEN"
White Wash, White livers, and a
White Mans Party.
"Demscr, oy" to be Buried, at Last.
Counter Political Dedges

The "Whlte Men, are quarreling. There are
two organizations claiming the name, and the
advantages, II any result therefrom.
First the Dover Ring had called County
Meeting, at Dover, for May 10th. The call cmau-
ates from the DelaDarean office, and is bona fde
Salisbury affair." vouched for by their agent. Mr.
j. l.. Smith, Chairman of the County Executive
Committee. 1t reads as follows;
"a DEMOCRATIC MASS MEETING.
"The Democratic party of Kent county will
hold Macs Meeting at Dover, on Tuesday, the
10Th day of May next.
ALL TRUE WHITE MEN,
Who are opposed to the degradation of their own
race, and to being placed on terms OF political
and social equality with negroes, are invited to
be present aud to participate In the deliberations
of tue meeting, without regard to former politt-
cal associations. when bad men conspre good
men must unite, and we therefore cordially in.
vive
SAIL TRUE WHITE MEN,
To meet the Democracy on that day, and to On
courage by their presence. and aid by their conn
sells, ia thwarting the evil purposes OF the men
and party that are trying to force negro suffrage
and equality upon the State.
''By order Of the Democratic Central Commit
tee OF Kent County.
j. l.. SMITH, Chairman"
So much for the Salisbury move. 1t will be
observed that 1t is "Democrat,c" meeting to
which the democratic party" are first invited.
But there Is another Richmond in the field.
More ''white men, than simply "the friend of
his race" the ancient spider at Dover, are anxi-
ous to display the purity of their complexion. A
call has been Issued for State Convention, to be
held at Dover, on the 9th of May, five days before
the Rings county meeting, for the purpose of
laying aside the name Of Democracy" starting
a new political movement, and organizing It
under the special and distinctive name of the
"White Mems Party"
The last call is Of the most flaming character,
and We reproduce the whole of it, as follows:
STATE CONVENTION.
All WHITE PERSONS favorable to forming
WHITE MANS PARTY, IN Delaware, are requested
to meet in State Convestion at Dover, Thursday
May the. 9th, at O'Clock, p. M, to organize a
WHITE MANS PARTY to protect the rights of the
WHITE MAN, his race and color. Come all WHITE
MIN of whatever party you may have hereto
tore belonged so you are WHITE Man, and as
such willing to sacrifice all former political pre-
ferences, and name for the. general
good of the WHITE MAN an his struggs 10 main
fain his supremacy above the negro. Negro fran.
chise, Negro social equality, Negro political
equality in the schools, churches, and private
residences.
"The only alternative left WHITE MEN to
ward off this fatal blow al him by Renegade
Whites and Negroes is to free himself of all old
political prejudices and assert his manhood In
helping to form WHITE MANS PARTY 10 save
the State and his fre-side from the threatened
disgrace,
1.-THE Democratic party of the Nation, for the
last ten year4, has been powerless to rard off the
threatened blow of Negro Frdnchise, or any
other measure of the ultra Negro Equality party.
Therefore, what sound craftsmanship is there 10
holding on to q name that strengthens our enG-
mics and leads TO our certain defeat in De'apare,
as 1t has done in nearly every other State of the
Nation. Therefore, rise above party! and join
In an organization to be called THE VIII rE
MANS PARTY, that will save the Nation, the
State, and our tiresides from the threatened dis
grace of negro equality. By order of
MANY WHITE MEN"
