sational stories about the race; for
years it has tried to divide the race
from the whites instead of uniting; for
years it has published more articles
about the negro outrages than all the
Democratic journals in West Virginia;
for years it has only recognized us at
election times as citizens. 1t is an un-
deniable fact that number of North
ern Republican papers have lost the
fragrance Of their purity. If the
Wheeling IntezZigencer would let up or.
burlesquing colored people the devils in
hell would rise and give ethanks.-Nar-
tinSbu3g Free Press.
The Republicans of this city is of
the number. This journal edited and
owned by stalwart Republicans devoted
the most Of it's gossip column to the
humiliation and degradation of our
race. 1t makes no difference whether
1t is lie or the truth, anything to
corner colored man finds space in that
paper. livery seldom if ever has a good
thing to say for our people. Next year
just before election it will call us .:our
faithful allies"

can't understand it.-Michigon Ear

ABUSING Our CoLoRED MINISTRY.
We have lately read wherein a per-
son who claimed to speak from obser-
vation, said that colored ministers in
general were ignorant, corrupt, ungod
ly, yenal and superstitious. The man
or men, the paper, speaker, lawyer,
preacher, doctor, writer or thinker,
philosopher, or what not, that made
such declaration is only and simply
an unprincipled liar; deep, deep-dyed
hypocrite; white-livered, time-serv-
ing, mean, low, base-born. sacriligious
vandal; cur of base degree; a two
legged hyena with wolfish appetite;
snake in the grass, false-hearted. COW
heel ghoul; fork tongue poisoned
glass; a strille-from-behind, leopard
spotted pole cat; Il venomed moccasin,
with the cowardly instinct of a cop
perhead and the full qualities of Il
skunk.
As the Democrats have large ma
joriy in the next House, some colored
man may again secure the empty nom
ination for clerk by the Republican
members. Where is Rainey?
That class of Republicans that hoo
doed Mr. Samuel Lee out Of his seat,
pay honor and mileage. Messrs. Caul-
kins of Indiana, Robinson of Massa-
chuSetts, and others, will no doubt
select Mr.. Lee'for victim, as they did
Rainey four years ago. Mr.. Rainey is
up North living in clover. and we are
proud to know it.
Dick Greener was engaged in mighty
small business when he went digging
in the filth and slime of Washington to
rake up charges against Calvin Chase
of the Bee, and Bob Lincoln shows
himself a gentleman when he refused
to have anything to do with Greener,
and showed him out of his Office
Minneapolis RerieW.
Some big men (???O do very small
things. The above gentleman did a
big thing once (???). That was when
he dictated a dispatch, wherein he said
"Richard I. Greener, the greatest liy-
ing negro orator, philosopher, educator,
ect., etc, etc" Now MAJ who does
the like Of this, you could not really
expect much from him that is grand,
noble, or very distinguished, could
you?
LINCOLN AND BRUCE.--The cOlOred

ised? 1t is the fatal mistake Of our
people that they hurrah for men, and
60 licksplttling around, pledging them
selves unasked. White folks know
that black people drop like rotten ap-
ples-before they are ripe. We don't
intend to support any man who has not
a square, known record on questions
touching our race, or he must make
one before he is entitled to to our aid
and comfort. We do not care if. he is
sound on the tariff, Chinese questions,

Is Bob Lincoln "Old Abe?" What has
he done? Some people save men from
buying them by giving themselves
away.-AmerjcGn Baptist.

friend Simmons, until you come up
here, then you can look around and see
for yourself whether or not he deserves
the praise and respect that the colored
press give him.
