ARTHUR AND LINCOLN.

The name of President Arthur is kept fiyine
at the mast head of the Louisiana STANDARD
for President in 1884. The administration OF
President Arthur, SO far, has given satlsfac-
tion TO the people of the whole country, He
has guided the Ship of State with consum-
mate ability, wisdom and shrewdness, and is
without any ''ifs or ands," the strongest m an
in the party to-day.
The battle in 1854 Will be fierce one, and
We will be confronted by Solid South in the
outset. New York will be the battle-ground,
There the pick and choice of the forces of the
two parties will be marshalled. Arthur is
New Yorker, and we believe can carry that
State. without which neither party can sue
coed. 1t seems to US, therefore, that Fate has
already designated Chester A. Arthur as the
standard-bearer, and that without him in the
fore, the chances are against the Republican
party.
Ben Harrison and Secretary Lincoln are
frequently mentioned as possible candidates,
but sentiment and success are two different
things. Ben Harrison is the grandson of Old
Tippecanoe, and Secretary Lincoln is the son
ofour first martyr President, but neither have
earned the prominence TO demand the prize,
and the frequent mention of their names is
due to sentiment charlottesville Bulletin.

Lincoln for President and believe he is the
only man in America who can consolidate the
negro vote, and they also place Hon. b. K.
Bruce head and shoulders above any colored

Be sure you are right, gentlemen, and then
go ahead.
We extend you hearty welcome, and wish
you a long life of success,-The Greenville

We desire to inform our esteem
ed contemporary that we are right.
We are confident that Secretary
Lincoln can unite the colored
vote and the dissatisfied element S
in the republican party. Nomi-
nate Lincoln and victory is assured.
We do place Hon B. K. Bruce a.

THE QUESTION SETTLED.

NOn Wednesday, November 23rd,
The Blyden Literary Association,
of Wilkesbarre, Pa, had up for
discussion the question, "Would
it be policy for the colored people
to demand that Negro be nomi-
mated for Vice President in
1884g" and after a very lively
discussion on both sides, it was
decided that it would be the very
best policy that the colored peo-
pie could adopt to secure thelr
Just recognition as the equals OF
anv other race in all avenues oi
life that have been open to them
since their emancipation. This
idea we have advanced steadily
since the latter part of 1873, when
we called upon the colored peo'
pie Of the country to see that Hon
B. X. Bruce was nominated al
the Chicago convention, as the
Republican candidate for Vice
President; and we are very GLAD
to see by our exchanges that the
newspapers, both white and color
ed, are not only voicing their OWL
sentiments in the affirmative or
this question, but that they are
rejecting the expressions of de-
Lucrative bodies of literary peo
pie, along with the desires Of al

lieve with Frederick Douglass
that when a Negro shall have been
elected Vice President in these
United States, the political and
civil rights of the race will be for
ever secure. And for that very
reason, the colored people intend
10 insist upon having a black
man nominated for Vice Presi-
dent.

was Of course suggested by that
most sagacious instinct inhering
in state as truly as in animals.
Selfpreservation and the logic OF
events has proved the wisdom OF
that step. To effect this object,
schools were spread like vast net
work over the country, and the
educing of ideas long pent up pro-
duced a metamorphose in the
Negro which to-day commands ad-
miration. The Institution whose
name heads our writing, stands
foremost among the schools which
played SO important a part in this
race developement. 1t is not for the
purpose of giving undue praise,
but to call worthy attention to the
great progress it has made from
unpretentious beginnings to its
present standard as an acknowl-
