The above report is false and incorrect, and
for the benefit of the readers of that jOurn-

is distinct from the National News Bureau.
In justice to some of the gentlemen con-
nected with the News Bureau, we desire
to say that there was no meeting held by the
News Bureau at the Carson House. Two
thirds of the members ofthe News Bureau
are voters of the States, and hence have no
cause to turn their organization into a
political club.
1t is not the policy of the colored
press. There is but one associated press
controlled by colored mnn, and that is I'M

named above. The Office of the Asso-
ciated Press is at 1l09 street, northwest,

Superintendent Cook covered
at the graduating exercises of the
Miner Normal School, considerable
ground to show that Mr.. Brooks was
the connecting link between the

however, to state that the action of
Mr.. Brooks when a member of the
legislature in opposing the estab-
lishment of normal school Open to
all without regard to color-made
the acceptance of the Miner Chari-
ty Fund necessity; but for his
persistent opposition there would
have been a normal school open
to both white and co!ored child
ren. This, among many other
acts of Mr.. Brooks, aleniated the
Colored people from him as
their representative, and makes
them so persistent in opposing his

TIE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

There IS a disposition on the
part of some of the so-called In
dependent Republicans to bolt
the Republican party. The New
York Times and some other So
called Republican journals claim
that they will not support the tic
ket. Our suggestion is, it is better
that the party get rid otthese would
be reformers, which will be a puri-
fication to the Republican party.
The New York Times, Carl Shurz
and others are known to be kick
ers. Several years ago Shurz
made a similar bolt, but when he
was promised the Secretary
ship of the Interior he sue
cumbed TO the situation and de-
cided to support the party. We
claim that the party can better get
along without the independents.
We can elect our ticket without
New York. if the voters of that
State refuse to support the ticket.
We have too much confidence in the
loyalty of the party to believe that
any loyal citizen will refuse to
support the nominees of the con-
vention. The Republican party
to-day is the only progressive par
ty known to the civilized world.
Its history is one of progress and
purity, and any Republican, white
or black, who is too base to uphold
it's principles and perpetuate it, Is
worse than a slave and a knave.
The Logan and Blaine forces out
generated the opposition at the
Chicago convention, therefore, it
is the duty of the defeated factions
to shake hands and support the
ticket.
