Ray, Sergeant-st-Arms. r. j. Fletcher ad-
dressed the assemblage, touching county
State and national politics, and claimed that
the 800 colored Republican voters OF Sscra'
mento county bad right to demand repre-
sentation in thelRepublican State and County
Conventions that the colored voters had
always been loyal to the flag. and that it was
no more than right, and justice demands,
that we be accorded proper representation.
We have always been, aud ever mean to be,
loyal to the Republican party, and our object
in meeting tonight is only to or
ganizs in order that our race shall
receive the recognition they deserve.
From what learn OF the Republicans of this
city they mean to do what is right with Us,
colored Republicans. And WHY mott Did
we not for years battle for the flag, and was
not that flag during the dark hours the
insignia of the Republican party? Did we
not follow the boys in blue through all the
swnmps of the South? Yes. more than that
we led them through the everglades Of Flori.
da, through the swamps of Louisiana, snd
every bayou of the South. Wherever the Star
Spang'ed banner was wont to be flown, it was
navigated by the good and brave men of our
race.

who passed the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments to the Constitution of our glo.
rious Union, and who ara TO- day the friends
of all mankind A colored man who goes
back on the Republican party to-day goes
back on his own manhood and ought to be
deprived Of that which the Republican party
gave him-the elective franchise.
