tion for the improvement of the riv.
er, and they will probablya :squabble
a little during the election.
Louisiana--the Independents will
pnt nominees into the Congressional
fields, the success is divided between
the partys. ..sls
Arkansas and Missouri have not
got through with the currency ques-
tion yet, they want greenbacks as the
legal tender, and wants Congress to
repeal the resumption act. They
also want the Government to extend
aid towards the proposed Southern
Pacific Railroady; nothing definite
can be said as to how they will go.
Tennessee-the voters in the COL
ored ranks are splitting and coming
over to tie Democrats. The party
candidates will all be elected in the
State offices.
North Carolina-There will be nc
nomination for State offices by the
Republicans. They will, bowever,
have candidates in all the congress-
ional districts.
Nothing is known of Virginia as
yet and we can't tell how she will 90,
probably divided, with Democratic
Governor.
And now to retnrnS to our own
State for wEilc and consider her
with reference to the position she
should occupy during the time enter
vening his and the fall election. just
here we will notice one thing which
is very Impoi tant tosthe party, that
OF allowing tie colored members of
the clubs to tai lie an active part in
the meeting. 1t should be more ell
outraged among tho clnbs, and the
coiored voter, if lie sees fit to Join uS,
should be greeted cordially and
promised all privileges. Caution, it
is said, is the parent of safety and
eternal vigilance the price of liberty.
These tive maxims are very true az
rcgNrds our situation at the present.
We have as l have said, begun TO
emerge from the woetul condition OF
Radical oppression, and it behooves
rs as ones who are in every way be-
set by evils, which are likely to re-
plunge us atresh into tue rasr trou-
bles. We should keep aloot as far
as we can from these in order that
we may be secure at all, and each
one should act we'll his individual al
part. This way of throwing the
burden on a few active men is con-
trary to ali principles of Democracy.
We, each and every one, owe to the
State an active citizenship, and we
should ever be on the alert to fulfil
and execute our allegiance. Leaving
all feelings of self interest to snb~
me'ge itself into the party interest,
let us do each one his whole duty,
and then we will be secure against
all defeats ofhonesty and the party.
There Is too much of what ia known
as political incidence in the country
at present, nearly all that is done to,
wards advancing the party or form
ing plans tor its welfare is done by
few men, and when they seek your
cooperation and are refused it, you
can not blame them or say anything
if they should tall into errors or
channels that you don't approve of.
Unity is strength, therefore if we
would be strong and successful, let us
have nnison and an undivided assis-
tance from every one who is interes-
ted in the welfare of the Democracy.
Let ns strive to put ,wn all efforts
Of those who don't act in concert with
the party, the life Of the cause is our
striking close together, divisions will
ruin anything in the way of politics,
if continued, and il we hope at all for
snccees let Us, | repeat, achieve it by
one grand and united effort, made by
a solid party.
