RED HOT RESOLUTIONS.
colored Mass Convention.

In response 70 a call published in
the South Kentuckian, Ohio Falls
Express and other papers, mass
meeting of colored Republicans of
Christian county met at the court
house at 2 40, p. M. May IA, 1883.
Isaiah ii. Jones called the meeting
TO order and stated indefinitely
the object of the meeting. Mr.. Jas.
AllenswOrth was elected chairman,
and w. j. Harvey, secretary. Rev.
Il. Richey made few remarks, stat
ing that steps should be taken to raise
funds with which to send at least
one delegate appointed by the recent
Republican county convention, to the
State convention, to be held at Lex
ington. He also said there was dis
satisfaction among colored voters as
to the disposition of county offices. .
The following were appointed as a
committee on resolutions: /. II.
Jones, John Moore, NJ. Moscly, J. w.
knight and w. J. Harvey.
During the absence of the commit
tee, Mr.. W. j. Fox acted as secretary
and the mass mccting.was addressed
by L. Richcy, who spoke of the rela-
ton and duty of the Republican party
to the colored people. The following
resolutions were read and adopted:
The colorcd Republicans of Chris
tian county in mass meeting assem-
bled:
lst. Wc'indorse the nominations of
Hon. Jas. Brcathitt and Mr.. Pratt as
candidates for the Lower House and
State Senate, respectively. We re-
cognize and gratefully acknowledge
the services of the first named gem
tleman in being the means, indirectly,
Of providing a much needed change
in the school laws of our State, aud
we admire and appreciate the bold
ness which he displayed in defending,
during the session of the last General
Assembly, the principles of the Re-
publican party. We indorse and
shall support the candidates of the
Republican county convention re-
Gently held in this place.
2nd. Bc it resolved that we de-
nouncc the traitorous action of cer-
tain Republicans in the elections of
last August, who either voted against,
or refused to vote for candidates ON
the Republican ticket, having been
actuated so TO act because of preju-
dice against the colored man.
3rd. BE 1t further resolved that as
voters comprising the greater part of
the Republican party of Christian
county, we demand a share of the
spoils of Offices and that hereafter we
support no candidates for the various
county offices unless candidates
promise an adequate recognition of
qualified colorcd Republicans, in APP
pointing their deputies.
j. w. knight, /. H. Jones, N
Mosely and W. J. Harvey spoke in
favor Of the resolutions, all voicing
the sentiment that the time had come
for the white Republicans to give
"half of the loaf" to the colored man.
Mr.. Earle and A. C. Banks favored
the sentiment Of the last resolution,
but opposed 1t because of the man
ner Of the asking, limiting that it was
not exactly the way to demand
share Of the spoils of Office. After re-
marks by Phil Bell and others the
meeting adjourned.
