closed Rev J. G. Booth letter read from
the editor of the st. Louis Journal his de-

desiring the co operation of our citizens
Mr.. Houser arose and stated that Mr..

This was affirmed also by Mr.. Beard. Mr..

while the citizens should make no special
Inducements to the Journal if Mr.. Beard
was located here, sill that paper might
move here and do we'll Mr.. Beard said
also that there was plenty of room, and
all might mewho saw fit. So it seems
like We are to have paper of our own at

and is printer and will doubtless do
well. w. H. Stanton of the Journal and
his brother are printers of IA years exper-
ience. They have first class printing
Office in st. Louie, and If they move here
our citizens will be able to throw all their

The Presidency.

In a very complimentary letter to
the Leader published two weeks age
our good friend, Capt. o. S. B. Wall,
of Washington, says:
"9ut while l differ with you as to the
best man in the Republican ranks for the
! coming presidential nomination, think
every colored man in the country should
be proud ofand encourage you in the pub
lieation OF such a paper"
Now we are not certain that the
captain is correct We do not know
who Captain Wallis candidate is, and
we as yet have not declared ourselves
We have defended General Grant from
the attacks of his enemies. We have
said that he would make goodpresi-
dent. and we have secuted the idea
thatany man could usurp theexecutive
office of this Government or that the
republic would be endangered by the
election of president to third term.
We are not blind, however, tc the
fact that there are a great many good
Republicans who are conscientiously
opposed to the election of any man
to Il third term, and it is not certain
that the party can afford to ignore
the sentiment of this class.
IT is useless to say that the persons
who constitute this class are not Re.
publicans, or that the feeling against a
third ten is not widespread and de-
termined. We are in the presence of
a great crisis, and no step must be
taken that will jeopardize the success
of the Republican party. Any one
of the great leaders, Blaine, Sherman,
Conkling or Washburne, can poll the
full vote of thesparty, and be trium-
phantly elected if nominated at Chi
cago. Neither would encounter the !
bitter opposition within the party
that the third term agitation would |
engcnder in the event of General
Grants nomination. We want to see
a strong, bold, 'stalwart" Republi-
can nominated. One who hates
Southern brutality and rascality, and
who will be brave enough to exhaust |
every prerogative to secure equal
rights to all men throughout the |
length and breadth of our land. 1t |
cannot be doubted that such man
can be found among the distinguished
names mentioned above.

Affairs in Maine are moving on
smoothly. The Republicans have COM
plete control of all departments of
the government The Fusionists go
through the farce of holding sessions
of their so-caled legislature in hall.
Their meetings, however, are simply
a harmless way they have of letting
themselves down They say that if
they had possession of the State house
they would not vacate without blood
she'd That terrible s'if'' relieves
them of the necessity of shedding
their worthless blood, and will allow
the counted-in and kicked out chaps
to scoot out to the lumber regions,
and make enough ey-during the
winter and spring to pay for their
'ssplurge" in search Of fame. 1t is
fortunate, not only for the people of
Maine, but for the whole country,
that this infamous assault upon Re-
publican government and institutions
has been met and crushed. The lead
ers ought to be sent to the peniten-
tiary. The poor devils who have
been only the dupes of designing pol
iticians will be sufficiently punished
by the contempt and ostracism Of
their neighbors and friends.
The people of this country should
hold the Democratic party responsi.
bic for this outrage. That party is
simply attempting to use in the
North the tactics employed with
such signal success in Mississippi
South Carolina and other States
Every patriot should understand that
the success of the Democratic party
means the overthrow of Republican
institutions and the downfall o.
American liberty.

Democratic Infamy.

The infamous conduct of demo
cratic mob at Shelbyville some time
time ago seems to have stimulated
similar occurrences in other sections.
In the vicinity of Greenfield, Han
cock county, the houses and barns of
several individuals who have shell
tered or employed immigrants have
been burned, and other outrages COM
mitted. A notice was posted that this
would be done if any of the inmi-
grants were "harbored or employed"
in that vicinity. The viIlainous threat
has been kept and the Internal in
stincts of the Democratic party are
manifested. We counsel retaliation.
Let these brutes be made to feel and
know that the vile practicessof South
ern Democrats can not be introduced
into free Indiana.

come from the second congressional

petitions can not be said to represent

know that the failure to respond is
simply due to the fact that in many

and gentlemen, but there are great many
who behave themselves much after the
fashion of gallery gods at minstrel or
variety show. They chew tobacco, spit,
talk, run in and out, as though they with
drew to take drinks between acts. OF
course these people don't know how to
behave themselves; it therefore becomes
the duty Of somebody to teach them good
behavior. The church, however. is not
the place to teach manners. | suggest
that the ushers be authorized to deny ad.
mittance to all strange boys, especially
those who are not accompanied by ladies.
Most of those who have female company
will behave themselves. i think it is the
duty of those in authority to take this
matter in hands and put stop to this
theatre gallery business. HINDU.

1t is time the civilized world had
entered protest against the foreign
policy of Great Britain under Beacons-
fields outrageously selfish rule. 1t
seems that even the poor right ofpeti-
ton is denied the unfortunate people
whose governments have been over
thrown to crafty the territorial greed
of brutal usrupers. A striking illus
tration of Beaconsfield justice is seen
in the arrest, on the charge of arson,
of citizens of the Transvaal Repub-
lie of South Africa because after their
government was forcibly overthrown,
they petitioned the British govern
ment to permit their Legislature to
assemble and make laws for them. 1t

1t now seems certain that the mass
of the Democratic party ofthis State
will array itself against the Constitu-
,tional amendments. The principal
reason assigned is that the Amend
ments inure to the benefit of the Rep
ublican party. The amendment that
is of paramount interest to the col
ored people is the one which strikes
the word ''white" out of the Consti-
tuition. Colored men throughout the
State should organize and work un-
ceasingly for the amendment from
now till the polls close on the day Of
the election. The amendments are ali
important aud should be adopted. We
will discuss them at length in future
issues.
