No OFFICES FOR THE NEGRO


Gen. Sheldon, one of the Ropub-
lican Representatives in Congress
from this State, addressed the 18th
Republican Ward Club on We'd
nesday evening last on Valence
street, and in the course of his
remarks, made use of the follow
ing suggestive language, which
should afford food for reflection
for every colored man in the State,
as showing the determination Of
the white Republicans to monop-
olize the offices in tho event Of
the success of their party:
"You have been told that your
majority ought to entitle you to
the Offices. This is not true. Pub
lie position belongs to the best
men, whether they are white or
black. If you desire to get up q
black mans party because you
have a majority, let me tell you
that there are seven white men
to one black man in this country,
and this fact upsets your demand.
This thing has been told to you
in order to break our ranks. The
Democrats know that they cannot
succeed, unless they can divide
our party, and they are striving
to drive the wedge between you
and us in order to ruin both of
us. They remind me of the fox
whose tail having been cut off by
some accident, persuaded all the
other foxes to cut their tails off in
order to be in the fashion. You
may profit by the foolishness' Of
the foxes" s."-Iicayune.
