The Colored Voters In Charleston.
From the Charleston News and Courier
A large number Of colored men voted the
Democratic ticket yesterday, but thousands re-,
manned quietly at home. The widest reports OF
the intentions OF the Democrats have been blsily
circulated and It is quite likely that some Of the
colofCd people really believe that their children
will be excluded from the public schools: that they
will not bc allowed To walk on the Battery that
every valued right and privilege will gradually be
taken away from them. II IS the business OF INC
triumphant Democracy to prove TO the colOrcd
people that their fears are without foundation.
The responsibility Of the Democracy is commcn.

man must seek the Office rather than that the Office

Not Demanded by Civil Service Reform.
From the Saint Paul Pioneer;
A prohibition which thus deprives the office
holder of his political rights and Of the liberty o
political action, Is not demanded by civil service
reform and will not stand the test OF its principles
and if there any men ofindependcnt character
in the civil service they will take the earliest op
portunty TO manifest that Independence by disre
attending and participating in the first politica
caucus Of their party that comes In their way.

The Rag Baby and the Silver Dollar.
