Representative Williams Of the
Ohio Legislature is making himself
so useful in the Ohio Legislature that
we are constrained to advise Hamil-
ton county to draw more largely upon
his inexhaustible abilities, by send
ing him to the 47th Congress. His
meeting with brigadiers in the halls
of Congress will not be the first. He
met them at Fort Wagner and other
places where it required a good deal
more courage to face abrigadier than
it does now; and, then, Negro con-
gresham from the North and espec-
tally from the Buckeye State, would
be incontrovertible evidence of the
decay of that vile prejudice which
crushes worth and merit if ornament
ed by dark hue and infiicts the sew
crest of penalties upon man who
neglects to be born white.

In another column may be found
the announcements of the leading can
didates for the various county and

election. The Republicans have such
excellent material from which to
make the selections that a mistake

dates we shall have somewhat to say
in future issues.
The Indianapolis leader. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1879-1890, 1880-01-17

Since our last issue, affairs in Maine
have undergone remarkable change.
On Monday evening the Republicans
quietly took possession of the State
House, and organized both branches
of the legislature.
The Democrats were thunderstruck
but powerless. The Republicans i'm
mediately appointed committee to
prepare questions to be submitted to
the supreme court Of the State in or
der to have that body decide as to
which is the legal legislature. These
questions have been prepared and
submitted to the court, and decision
may be expected at any time.
There is no doubt now about the
ultimate triumph of the Republicans
in this affair. The court has already
decided the chief points in dispute.
In fact the fraud attempted by the
Democrats and fusionists is of such
bare faced character that they do not
themselves expect any consideration
from the courts. Since Garcelon's
rebuke at the hands of the court, the
sole aim of these conspirators has
been to keep the matter out Of the
courts. The Republicans, however,
have out witted the scamps and put
the matter in position for speedy
settlement, for armed with the decis-
ion of the supreme court in his hands
General Chamberlain will make quick
work of the rump assembly of Demo
Gratis and Fusionists General Cham
berlain's management of affairs has
been good. He is brave without
bluster and firm without os-
tentation. When Lamson, presi-
dent of the Fusion Senate, quail
fed as governor and asked if
General Chamberlain would recognize
him. The General promptly and
politely informed him that the ques-
ton was legal one and beyond his
Jurisdiction. He advised the would
be governor to use his influence to
have the question brought before the
supreme court-the only competent
tribunal to decide.
In all probability before another
week rolls around Maine will have a
Republican State Government and
the discounted Democrats and Fusion
lists will be a good deal wiser though
probably not better men.

Our table was ornamented this week
bv the first issue of the "Suffragist,"
a weekly journal published in New
York city, by J. W. A. Shaw, in the
interest of the colored people. The
general makeup of the paper is very
neat, indeed, and the matter is first
class. We are free to say, however,
that we do not like the tone Of the
salutatory and our prediction is
that if the policy therein out
lined is followed the paper will,
land OH the sever green shore" before
a six month rolls around. The Suffra.
gist treats with complacent unconcern
the outrages to which our race have
been subjected in the South. 1t says
''The readers of the Suffragist will
see at a glance that we do not believe
the future of our race and its pros
perity in the South contingent upor

Quite sensation has been created
in political circles by the calling OF
the county Republican convention
for the 9th of March. The Republi-
cans will carry Marion county wheth-
er the convention be held early or late,
unless an internecine war breaks out
and is waged to the bitter end. Ii
entire harmony can be secured by
postponing the convention, it would
probably be best for the central com
mittee to follow the example of the
State central committee by coming
together and postponing the conven
ton until later date.
