Democratic Doctrine.

-
cratic votes on the evening of the 10th ult., at
Poughkeepsie, New York, by addressing the
colored people of tn at place for the benefit of
the NJ. E. Zion church.
His speech was replete with good Democratic
doctrine, and we think it is calculated to in
fuence Democratic votes.
He said 81 trust the day is not far distant
when the common rights of blacks in public
conveyances and in public meetings and insti-
buttons will be recognized as they were not re-
cognized of old, and as they are but imper-
fectly recognized STILL Trust that their political
equality lately established aoiU lead to recogni-
ton of their equality IN other respects than this"
We trust those Democrats who have been
spending their enthusiasm over Greeley's nomi-
nation will raise their enthusiastic devotion
one degree higher now that their candidate
has become so broadly Democratic. He goes
on to say "I hope the time oiH come aohen our
educational institutions and Seninaries aoW be
open to men of all races acih freedom, qoiM a
hospitality, which has neUer get been enjoyed. /
trust the time aciH come aChen no mans color a0H
ercluds him from any church any religious
| organization schateuer."
| This is strong talk and a high platform for
| Democratic candidate.
Again he says, $50 then l say with regard to
our common schools where our rural districts
contain but rs or 80 families, 1t IS simply i'm
possible, Uhere ttco three Of those are cOIored,
to- hare separate schools and in that case to say
that black children shall not go to school 10ith
a0hite children IS to say that they shall not haze
any schooling achateUer. But in communities
such as this, while if l were black man,
should not ask separate school, yet 1 should
still say if the whites choose TO have separate
schools l should not object to it. should only
ask that the schools for my children should be
made as good, as efficient the schools prOUided
for other mems children.'
This is very Democratic doctrine to fall from
the lips of Democratic candidate seeking
| Democratic votes at the beginning of Presi-
| Dental canvass.
We trust he will keep talking in this wise.
If he succeed in educating our Democrats up
to this point, if he manage to force this much
education into the Democratic party and force
out of it for the colored people equal education
he will be entitled to the grateful thanks of
the colored men, the nation and the Democratic
party. The latter will be indebted to him for
the manhood with which he inspires it,
The TRIBUNE AND SENATOR FERRY In speaking
OF the election of Senator Ferry, Of Connecticut,
by the votes of the Democratic members of the
Legislature, the Tribune says: "For once the
Liberal Republicans and the Democrats, under
all sorts Of restraints and disadvantages, have
acted together; and the Grant men can devote
the rest of the season to reflections upon the re-
suit"
This exuliant sentence over the defeat of Gen
Hawley and the election OF Senator Ferry was
published in the Tribune on May 18th. 1t Is
evident Dir. Greeley considered Senator Ferry
sure for supporting bis election as against Pres-
dent Grant. But on the day following Senator
Ferry with becoming maniness saw fit to define
| his position in the campaign in the following
language ''The truth is, that, since the adop-
| ton of the last three amendment TO the consti-
tuition of the United States and the closing up Of
the war question, our foreign reICiions and our
domestic policy in matters OF finance and revenue
are again assuming their natural Prominence -
| To entrust these TO administration made up
and controlled by Mr.. Greeley would be mere
midsummer madness"
The Greeley men 'cdn deUote the ret Of the
season TO reflections upon" this. "The adminisra-
ton of the State department during the last three
| years has preserved for the nation an honorable
peace in the midst OF the most delicate and en-
barrassiug complications both with Grea, Britain
and Spain, while that OF the Treasury has steadily
enhanced the public credit nad promoted the
business oftbe country. "You-him to whom the
| letter was aGdressed-"and will continue in the
l. old Republican track" This is sufficient o quiet
the Greeleyites' agitation OF the result and settle
| Senator Ferry as a Grant man.
