COALITION AND THE NEGRO.

IfCoalition is to help the Negro,
we say let's have it. If the leaders
of the move are sincere, and mean
business, we give them our hand
and say come on boys and help
them. But if there is nothing in
the move for the Negro, then we
see that VIC have nothing to lose by
voting against them as we have
nothing anyway. Fit is that same
vindictivc element that has fought
us in the Democratic party, fight
ing under new colors, we shall say
to our boys, come with two-edged
weapons and continue to fight for
right upon principle and let policy

we will be the boot-licks of all par
ties.

Yes, we repeat it, there must be a

THE Wilson Ne,rs of the 9Th, in
speaking of what Hon. Q. Hubbs
has done for his constituency failed
to add his columns and thereby
show his readers the number OF
each race appointed and the amount
of salary for each race. He failed
to state that the whites get twice
as much salary as the colored when
the colored have, we suppose, fifty
voters TO one white. We think he
mistakes also when he says no col
ored man applied for the postoffice
at Tarboro.

POLITICAL PARAe APIS.

IL the Coalitionists expect to be
supported by the rank and file OF
colored voters of this County, then
they must share the offices with
them. Negroes are not fool enough
to support a new party who will not
recognize them politically.

THE STAR o. z ON.

gan ofthc Zion A. NJ. f. Church, and
is published or said to be published
twice a month at Salisbury, N. u,
with one A. S. Richardson as editor.
A few weeks ago we intimated that
we had something in store for the
public concerning this paper Some
of the ministers and friends of that
church have become alarmed and
fear We will injure ourself and
church institutions if we make GER
tain explanations.
We say now to all concerned that
we intend to do no one an injustice
if we can help ourself. We are
prompted solely by a sense OF right
and duty to make certain EXPOSE
lions for the good of the rising gen.
Grafton. We would not say a word
against the Star, the connection or
any institution of the connection
unless they come in our way SO as
we cannot avoid doing SO.
Zion is our family church, we love
her. We rejoice in the prospects of
a successful organ and the early es-
tablishment of an institution Of
learning. We rejoice also TO know
that in the church we haven North
Carolina a number of young men
whose moral and intellectual train
ing recommends them to positions
in such an institution. We name
with pleasure Joseph G. Price, Chas.
W. Chestnut, John T. Williams and
John W. Smith. When such men
are brought to the front in church
affairs, when fit men are put at the
head of our organ and institutions
of learning, we will give our hearth
est support to them.
Our friends need not fear rash or
action on our part. We
have had the matter under consid-
GRAFTON several months, and we
shall move in it as is our custom
carefully. We are willing to sub
NIT our moral standing to the scru-
tiny of the public at any time and
any person has the right to ques-
ton the fitness of man to fill a
public position. We do not care to
hear of any threats of persons
working against our paper II we
take a stand against the Star OF
Zion. We do not intend to fight
the Star, as we said above. But if
certain parties are put in certain
places, we do intend to "heao to the
line let the chips fall tchere they may"
We intend to meet you at the con-
ference next fall; we intend to in
form the Bishop and the confer
ence, and if they do not think it
to have moral leaders at
the head of our institutions, why
thew should not expect them to be
respected.
Now, gentlemen, we shall be glad
to have your support; but if you
expect us to sacrifice principle; if
Won want us to shut our eyes
against dishonesty, deception and
immortality, we ask to be excused.
Shall we blush at crimes which you
let go UNPUBLISHED and thereby en-
courage them? ),
1t is for right, for morality and
the general upbuilding of our race
that we contend. Will ministers of
Christ's gospel impede our work
Then, gentlemen, you put your
selves in our way. We do not in
tend to be silent and suffer these
things done. Give us gentlemen at
the head of all our institutions and
no one shall excel the MESSENGER in

nominated as representatives from the
city of Mankato. Considerable discus
sion was brought out as regards Mr..
Browns strength, being warmly sup
ported by John Diamond who was
confident that he was the ablest man
available.
Mr.. Thompson desired that Mankato
be dropped and let her claim Mr..
Fletcher as representative. He
thought it better to distribute the can
didates more at large about the county,
and moved to exclude the Second Dis.
trict. Mr.. Diamond warned the
farmers to beware of excluding Mankato

it disgrace to do so.

Fletcher, so far as his knowledge went,
was a Mankato man. Others were of
the same opinion.
