BILE for such a decision and we
hereby warn our eolored citizens
not to take a hasty step. Beware
of the false profits and the false
issues which this decision will
bring forth in the next canvass.
Those men who are demanding
an independent party among the
colored men are men who have
been nursed, protected and sup
ported by the republican party
from the time the party gave them
liberty. We appeal to the colored
men of this country to beware. If
freedom is appreciated, if liberty
is desired, and free exercise OF
the rights which have been guar
anteed by the constitution are
what we want, then work un-
ceasingly for a republican presl-
dent in 1884. The action of the
democratic party assures US every
day that we cannot trust them.
Evidences every day convince us
that the principles Of the demo-
cratic party means that the negros
have no rights which white men
are bound to respect. We shall
to the end support the republican
party. There is no other party
to which the negro should go. Our
safety is in our God and the re.
publican party and to look to any
other source will be dangerous
and to the detriment of the color
} ed men. We shall follow the
leadership of
HON. BLANCHE X. BRUCE
because we believe him to be one
: of the wisest and most judiciou'
leaders of the colored race. Witt
such a leader at the head of ou
race we shall be victorious. w,
all recognize III
2 HON. FRED DOUGLASS
9 the elements of true manhood am
/ his course we hereby endorse
Bruce and Douglass our rae
e leaders we shall support whe!
: they lead us wisely What w
Il desire from the republican part
d is protection, recognition accord
S ing to merit, and a fair rewar
y for our services in the past and i
the future. So far as
PRESIDENT ARTHUR.
: is concerned, we believe him to b
e more sinned against then SHINING
J. IUn hni,o~o him 10 be honest an
l. sincere, and hence his administri
s ton we endorse and recommen
e for the good of the RepubIica
party.
/ HON. ROBERT T. LINCOLN
; is our standard bearer tor th
5, Presidency in 1884. With Lii
/ coin as the republican standar
d bearer we shall unite our force
II and victory will be assured Th
IS republican party cannot elect il
/ President without the colore
e vote, and Lincoln is the man t
e unite the negro. We believe
e is necessary in the present crisis
3 recall
> HON. ROSCOE C0NKLING,
e who is to-day the greatest state
IS man living. A true friend TO th
IL Oppressed and the republican part.
+ The BEE will be conducted upo
s purely business principles. On
/ watchwood is liberty, protectio
/ and a full exercise of the rights {
Ir man. We shall advocate SUITE
If age for the people in the Distri
D. of Columbia. We believe thi
n the ballot is the anly protectio
J. for all Americans when right
Le used, and when any communit
e is denied the free exercise of i
IL political rights by superior pow
e er, it is contrary to the yer
le principles upon which republic
1t are founded and liberty maintain
% ed. We have endeavored brief
'r to lay out our line of policy an
e. hope that it will be appreciated
