A WASHINGTON dispatch that
Vice President Wilson has called upon the
President to oppose the appointment of
Secretary Richardson to the Court of
Claims or to foreign mission. The rea-

had quite enough.

THE STATE CoLoRRD CONVENTION.


The Nashville papers and their Demo-
cratic co-laborers had hoped that the con-
vention of colored men, recently assembled
at Nashville, would end in severing the
relations of that race to the Republican
party. The Nashville Banner was particu-
larly hopeful that the colored men would
follow its example, by cutting loose from
party associates, and start out on an "inde-
pendent" bushwhacking career. But in
this it has been mistaken. The colored
men of Tennessee know full well that such
policy would be suicidal. The rights as
citizens they now enjoy were given them
by the Republican party. That it will
continue to prove their best friend and pro-
tector they do not question. The Banner,
noticing the results of the convention with
great disappointment and in despair, says:
"There is nothing as yet suggesting a
tendency to cut loose from party ties, but
rather the reverse. 1t looks very much as
if the colored folks would remain for q
while longer as hewers of wood and draw
ers of water to the white moguls of the
Republican party"
