JUNE MOBLET'S BLIST.
Report Of u Speech Delivered Before tho
Kadtcnl Convention In CoIumbia OH
Wednesday Night. .a
From the News and Courier,
In tho election Of delegates to the
Chicago Convention, the Fourth Dis
tlict was taken up. G.. G.. Turner, of
Spartanbnrg, offered the names of
Samuel II. Poinicr, Of Spartanburg,
white, and Wilson Cook, colorcd, of
Grccnvillc.
June Moblcy rose and took the mid
die ofth floor, and with sleeves rolled
up, prepared TO attack these nomina-
tons without gloves. lie did not care
to draw the color line; it was already
drawn by the dcmagogucs. He
thanked God that the day had come
when the colorcd people would throw
OF the masters who had ruled them for
twelve years and take care of them
selves. lie was tired Of keeping in
office set Of good-for-nothing loafcrs,
who did no work and lived Off the
crcdulity of the colorcd men. The
time had come for the colored race to
shun these men; that they had not
been free for twelve years for nothing.
There had been no nominations in the
Fourth Congressional District. There
had been nothing but gay law. These
white men had led the r'gger to de-
struction long enough. lie had two
letters written by old u. s. Wallace
III his pocket telling his friends in the
North that the nigger in South Caro-
lima must be kept down. If lie had
anything more 10 do with the white
people he would go with The decent
white men Of the State. The white
men who represented the Fourth Dis
trict in the Convention were not in his
opinion his equals in any way. &. G..
Turner, who made the report for the
district. had betrayed the Democratic
party, and would bctray the Kcpubli-
can party il he got Il chance.
The Republicans would get on foot
after awhile, simply by the blundcrs
OF the Democratic party, but they
were not ready to 90 in with the
white men who represented the Re-
publican party to-day. They had
made thousands Of promises to the
G. 10 cd man Ia It they had never kept
They were thCkind Of men who held
their conventions in hotels because
they knew that niggers didn't 90 in
hotels in this part Of the country. Tho
color line was drawn, and take his
word for it, when the time came for
State Convention to nominate State
officers there wOnldn't be ten white
Republicans in the State. They will
say it is incXpcdiUnt rs soon as they
get what they want. They will say
1t IS no use TO run State ticket, g.
cause the Democrats will rob YOU OF
yourvotcs. l am ashamed of myself
for ever supporting such men. i am
tired OF these men. No wonder the
Democrats say that the niggcrs arc
not able 10 govern themselves, when
! lhcy select to govern them such i'll
ocgotten white men as you sec before
you Tonight. You elect these white
men to the National Con\ cation and
you wont see them again. When thew
meet You Oh the street and nobody is
looking they "damn the Democrats :"
but the next thing you know You see
them walking arm in arm with
Democrat, and saying "thcsc d--n
| nlggcrs want to put on too MANY airs,
they want to rise up" We must elect
people that will suit us. The dav is
coming. and thank God our people
VIII recognize men and manhood. We
should teach these gents that we are
INC Republican party in South Carroll
h"' ana that we don't propose to re-
main i'll slavery any longer. If you
look INTO the papers you will SEQ all
thcsc men saying Hampton was a good
man. They thought they would fool
him as they have fooled rs. Bnt.
thank God, Hampton was too smart
for them.
Stand to your manhood, colored
menl Stand together. Every race
on earth sticks together. Even the
stupid geese stick together. WHY
should not we stand by our race? X
few days ago these mon were talking
loudly for Grant and Sherman and
Blaine, aud now after we passed that
resolution to-day they are Silent Grant
men, and if yon send them to Chicago
they will sell you ont and leave the
State until the next election. lie hoped
the convention would not elect Pointer.
nc did not know what pcnitcntiary he
had come out of. They say we arc
not competent to represent the State
III the National Convention. They
nave made us competent to put them
III Office, and we can put ourselves in
Office just as well. .,.. ;.
There will bic no white Republican
in this State if you take away the Of
ticcs. They will do as Ensor. and
Stoibrand and lots ofothcrs have done.
Non: say you want to send rcsDccta-
bic delegation, and yet you send such
men as these bar-room suckers,. gam
