THE AMERICAN NEGRO.
Has He Gained or Lost by the Late
Election?

TO the Editor Of The Erenin0 Critic:
In the issue Of the Republican of this date
there appears what purports to be proceedings
at Bethel Lyceum Hall last evening. TRo
reporter that furnished tho notes was In error.
The subject for discussion, as announced by
Negro Gained or Lost by the Late Election 2"
In the affirmative, Mr.. J. W. Cromwell opened
the discussion and gave individual cases
wherein individual colored men had been
benefited by yirtno of having been elected to
certain places. Mr.. Cromwell was supported
by Messrs. George W. Smith, OF Mississippi;
MIR. Theodore Greene, Mr.. Calvin d. johnson,
and DR.. Charles d. Purvis, OF Pennsylvania.
Professor Il. Y. Greener was not present.
The negative side was represented by George
NJ. Arnold, esq, of Lynchburg, Va, who made
Messrs. Milton NJ. Holland, Mr.. Minturn, OF
South Carolina, and Charles CALDWELL of Mis-
sissippi. "Middle Ground" was taken by Mr..
Thomas, OF Ohio. Then tho discussion closed.
While everything progressed In good order.
there was plenty,of zeal, ardor and political
fire exhibited on tho part of those who took
the negative side, they being all Southern Re
publicans (one of them the son OF n colored
man murdered In Mississippi by order of the
Democratic ,party) who commended that any
Republican loss in any election In any State
was not gain, buta loss to the American no.
gro.
Mr.. Arnold took up tho case OF Hon. George
NJ. Robson, OF New Jersey, and asked tho per-
tlnent question, "Where has the American
negro gained by the defeat OF Mr.. Robson,
who proved TO be an unyielding and unninch'
ing friend of the American negro, and that,
too, in dark and trying hour, and tho cleo.
ton Of such Democrat as Thomas NJ. Fer
rellf' MIR. Arnold said that Mr. Robson drew
the IRE from the Democratic party because no
led the last House in tho same way that Thad-
deus Stevens once led It, and because OF this
the Democrats wanted him defeated, and they
employed colored Americans to help thom dc
1t, and now. said tho speaker, tho only
American negroes that arc benefited by
this, are those that got the ''DemocratlC
sugar" for selling their influence and their
fhprnhy
gress, over staunch friend OF civil and polti-
cal equality,a Democrat who Is a student Of
the doctrine that negroes have no rights that
white men, or rather the Democratic party,
need stop TO bother with.
The report of the meeting, so far as tho
speech Of DR.. purvis goes, is about correct. He
condemned the "Dosses" and "bossism," and
tho shortcomings Of tho Republican party
Mr.. Green, OF Mississippi, spoke In the SAINT
strain as did DR.. Puryis. so did Mr.. Smith o.
tho same State. SPECTATOR.
