JAMES @. BLAINE is the nominee OF
the Republican party and as he was
not our choice for the nomination we
had the courage and manhood to so
express ourselves. The Republican
party has saw fit to honor him as the
standard bearer during the coming
campaign and as the representative
journal of the colored voters of the
State of Pennsylvania who are always
sincere in there devotion to the party
which has done more to advance there
interest than any other party. We
shall give our hearty support to the
man selected by a majority of the
Republican votes in the National
Convention. Our acknowledged po-
sition as an organ of the colored peo-
pie must not be robbed of its influence
by any narrow or selfish views. And
we shall always be found defending
the rights of the people with whom
we are identified, whether they be
infringed upon by the Republican or
any other party as we have frequently
said we take no stock in independent
movements, and hence we give our
support to the best of the two great
parties. Those who have been so
enthusiastic in the nomination of Mr..
Blaine will.of course be just as en-
thusiastic in supporting him in his
campaign, and while our choice was
from another source we feel it but
honorable. to act as many other Re
publicans will act, who failed to Sc
cure their choice at Chicago. With
General Logan for the second place
we are decidedly pleased and would
cheerfuIly support the ticket if only
for his sake. We believe him true
friend of every American citizen and
a man without prejudidice to race or
color.

What the Colored Press Thinks.

What the COlOred PreSS THINKS.
The Boston Hue thinks the speech
of Mr.. Lynch was dignified, manly
and in the atmosphere Of ability and
fitness.
A deserved compliment to the col
ored voters of the country was the
election of Hon. John r. Lynch, Of
Mississippi, as temporary chairman
of the National Republican Conven
tion.-Ueoel0nd Gazette.
Powell Clayton got Lynch-ed at
the Chicago convention. Another
instance of the successful dark horse.
Waihimgton Bee.
The Detroit -Plaindealer thinks
tho election of John r. Lynch as
temporary chairman of the National
Convention was Of higher signifi-
canoe than a mere formal recognition
of the colored race.
The Washington Ad0Ocate says
that Lynch was selected because he
was deemed the most available and
the strongest candidate with whom
to oppose Powell Clayton, whose
nomination savored of fraud.
For the first time can we advocate
Lynch law as being the ''propah ca
pah we mean the law as admin
istered by Chairman Lynch, at Chi
cago, it affected black and white
alike.-LOuiSUiUe Bulletin.
Very few Republican National
conventions have attracted as much
attention, and created euch an inter
est as the one of the past week.

A Word to Our Friends.

The JOURNAL has It's friends here
in this city, and being rather popu-
lar, it of course has its enemies.
Some people are 80 stupid that they
don't know a good thing when they
have it, while others are so blinded
by prejudice and imbued with by
pocrisy that the success of any enter
prise controlled by men of their own
race invites not their open but
coveted opposition. This is the only
paper published in this city that
takes a special pride and makes it
special object to note all the transac
tions Of the colored people. We de-
vote more space in our columns in
one week to the doings of our peo-
pie than all the city papers together
devote in one month. Yet, and we
regret to say it, there are people in
this town, men Of color, who possess
great love for their race, who will
tell you they believe in the prosperity
and upbuilding Of the race, who
either from ignorance, selfshness or
absolute cussedness, throw every OBJ.
stacle in the way of the success of
this paper they can. In asking the
people to patronize us with their ad-
vertising and Job work we simply
enter into competition with other
offices in the same business, and in
appealing to the colored people for
their patronage in this respect we do
so expecting that they, Of all others,
desiring to place their entertainments
before the only people who patronize
them, would of course accept the me-
dunn which reaches the greatest num-
Der of their own race, for we hold
that a larger number of colored people
read the Journal than any other of
the city papers. Our rates Of adver-
tising, when compared with the other
papers, are much cheaper, and we
hope our friends will not think,
while engaged in an enterprise which
we have endeavored TO make credit
to our people and a paying invest
ment to ourselves, that we can afford
to publish their entertainments for
them free Of charge when they take
so much delight in carrying their
Job work to other offices. The col
ored people of the State of Pennsyl-
vania show their appreciation for the
JOURNAL by the support they give it,
and it would be credit to certain in
dividuals in Harrisburg to show
some of the same spirit. Put this
where you can see it when expostu-
lating upon your devotion to the race.

City improvements.

An ordinance which has just
passed Councils for the laying of
water pipe in Eleventh street has
caused great deal of comment in
our city contemporaries and among
the people. The opponents OF the
measure are evidently men who have
but a limited desire TO see the city
grow and improve, and expect great
results fYom narrow investments.
There are but few cities which have
made IS slow progress in a century
as Harrisburg, or are there but few
who can number among its residents
50 many men with the wrinkles OF a
centuary in their ideas and the
marks Of antediluvian ages in their
progress, gentlemen who see behind
instead of before This city has
shown more progress within the past
few years than has ever been dis
PLAYED since its birth. The present
Council has been ridiculed, censured
and abused because the spirit of pro
gress spread its wings over 1t, and
they have caused the affairs OF the
city to move up a peg, unmlndiul OF
the many necessary improvements
made under their regime, unmindiul
of the courage it takes to brush the
dust and cobwebs from the eyes OF
the slothful people of the burg. 1t
is astonishing how quick these ante
diluvians cry out jobbery when they
see the chariot of progress coming
whose wheels threaten to run over
them unless they move. 1t is gener-
orally supposed, unless a man is too
stupid or too muIeish, that when
sound practical argument is produced
in favor of measure, while only sell
fish opposition is found against it,
that he will be governed by his judg
ment, if he has any, to act in the in
terest of that which really appears to
be a great necessity for the people.
This city must expect to spend
money now if il expects to reap from
it hereafter, and besides this move
ment that benefits a large class of
people and opens inducements for
improvements should not be handi-
capped by few men who do not
happen to have a personal interest in
that particular locality. 1t was all
right to syll the reservoir grounds.
There was not any job in that. 1t
was all right to allow a rebate on
water taxes for the laying of water
pipe. There was not any job in that.
1t was all right to lay water pipe
in Tenth street. There was not any
| Job in that. But the people of the
lower end of the city cannot have
water. The men who want to put a
water pipe in Eleventh street are en-
gagged in a job to which the people
object, one of whom | am which.
