The Democratic Committee

On 1lufSUay IHoEHiliS oPPS"N" - ny
the Democratic journals correspon- "
dence of no inconsiderable import DC,
tween a colored man, Mr. +. Brown ana
the Chairman of the Democratic State y
Committee. Mr.. Brown as appears IN ei
another column of this issue, propoun- o.
ded three distinct questions involving "
the recognition ofcolored men as mem
bers of the Democratic Central Com II
mittee, "a delegates in the Democratic 81
Convention to be holden here in Sept a
ember and as participants in the pup, Il
lie offices. In the promptltude ana
candor of Chairman Hatch's reply
there is much to be commended. 10 d
each of the three inquiries, he returns t
upon the authority of his COMMITTEE, =
an affirmative, an affirmative, the dls-
tinctness of which is assured by this d
context-nUnder the Constitution and
laws all men are placed on common {
footing. entitled to aspire to the high
est honors and are invested with the
same responsibilities"
This emphatic acceptance ofthe 18th
Amendment as n vital graft upon the
Constitution and as both guarantee

date upon every white, who honors his
function as citizen in the maintain

But for the highest authority IN the

' to the colorcd man "to consider him an

# titled to al, the benefits and privileges

d satisfies us that the Committee is I'M

to be imperiled by facticious divisions.

In professedly Republican, have found
IN their especial profit in embilterlng
k, these divisions is toopatent, they nave
adj heen wanton enough to manufacture
NC any SUSPICION that might dissuade the
ee coiored mau from stepping beyond the
e. hounds of his owl element, although
he has never wished to enjoy his legal
* warrants except as in common with
,as every other citizens. In aspiring tc
ed his inst rights and cxuities, he has
Tor sought to prejudice the claims OF NJ
IN white man and we heartily acqniesc'
red therefore in Mr. Hatch's conviction
to that the political adventurer is materl
in ally Responsible for the antagonism o
par the races.
