REV. James A. Handy,

OF the African Methodist Episcopal Church, is
the Republican candidate for the House of Del
egates from the eth district.
Mr.. Handy was born, reared, and educated
IN Baltimore, Maryland, and from early youth
has been engaged in good works. In 1874 he
became an active member of an association
known as the Lewis q. Wells" organized for
the mental and moral improvement Of its mem
bers; in 1853 he joined tie Bethel A. NJ E.
Church, in Baltimore, and three years later was
elected trustee, and subsequently secretary
In 1859 he was chairman of committee to
negotiate terms of agreement between Zion
Chapel, Wesleyan Zion Chapel and the A. M
r. Church, which resulted in the requirement
of Water Chapel. He was regularly licensed to
preach in 1860, and in 1862 he was appointed
pastor OF the Union Bethel Church, in this city.
After two years service here he was sent to
Emanuel Church, Portsmouth, Va, and from
thence to superintend mission work in North
and South Carolina
MIR. Handy is thorough going progression
list and has, consequently, been always inter
ested in the success of the Republican party,
and contributed to that success wherever op-
portunity afforded. A man of broad views, and
characterized by frankness and decision of
character, he is popular with and commands
the respect Of all classes. He will make a
successful legislator and just such one as we
need to represent the Ith district in the House
of Delegates. His election is foregone con-
clusion.

modified of course by events, but the same
questions that have been great in the past-on
the one hand the carrying forward by the Re
publicans of the grand policy of giving equal
rights to all, of meeting all the obligations of
the nation, whether in the bestowment and
securing of civil rights to all her children, col
ored or white, or whether in paying the ma
tional indebtedness-and on the other hand the
Democratic party lighting, not for conquest in
ideas, not for progress in liberty and fair play,
not for placing high the credit of the nation
but simply for the place of power
In that contest affairs in the South are TO
be the one prominent question. ALI others
will dwarf beside this. The Democrats will
then have to make answer for the organization
and continuance Of the ku-kluX Klan. and
their tens Of thousands of outrages How will
they answer Looking at this matter as dis
passlonately as we can, We believe that the
Democrats, even if they ever had chance of
winning in 1872, have flung that chance away
by the point of the dagger in the South.

to be considered in the Democrats own clog

they are continually making in the South
