for public reading by our enemies.
The trnth is what will count, and
from the truth we look for a verdict.
The negro was loyal and true to the
flag when he was wrapped in the gar
ments Of hellish black slavery: he
knew the difference between the stars
and stripes and the stars and bars, as
well as the difference, with discrimi-
nation, between the union soldier and
the rebel. He has made the distinc-
tion, as between the foul traitor and
the true lover Of the country. Day by

ones.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR,

President Arthur can be assured
that he has the confidence and respect
oI the American people. He is be-
coming more popular daily, and before
many, more months his administration
will receive the endorsement of the
entire country. Why he should be
condemned we are unable to say. but
we are confident that there is no presi-
dent who has won the confidence and
respect of nation in so short period
as he.
We see that our "old reliable" Judge
Gibbs, of the West, has demonstrated
his strength in colored convention bv
endorsing the administration of Presi-
dent Arthur. 1t is evident (although
the negro has not been Justly treated(
that he will continue his adherence to
the principles of the Republican party.
The negro will be satisfied if he is
given an equitable adjustment of laws
and recognition, according to merit.
We have no doubt of Republican
success in 1884. We endorse Presi
dent Arthur's administration, and hail
Robert L. Lincoln as the next stand
ard-bearer of the Republican party in
1884
