RENoNINATED.
Hon. r. P. McCabe, 2 colored man, has
been re-nominated by the Republican party
for Auditor of the State of Kansas.-C1ere-
land co., Gazette.
Colored voters like Logan's letter better
than Blaine's, because the former's discus
sion of the question most interesting to them
is fearless, straightforward and complete

PUT HIM IN.
fhe Republicans of the Augusta District
which, under the new appointment, has some
eight or ten thousand colored majority, are
urging ]. W. Lyons, Esq, who recently
graduated with distinguished honors from
the law department of Howard University,
to accept the nomination for Congress. MI.
Lyons is by long odds the most popular
Young colored man in the district, and is
destined to rank among the foremost colored
men of the country. Should he accept the
nomination and make the canvass with his
accustomed energy and eloquence, there is
little doubt of his election.-AHanta, (Ga.)
Pilot.
YOUR POLICY MAKES 1T.
When a colored man happens to be ap-
pointed to a position that requires a bond,
he must go to the white Republicans; pull
off his hat, get on his knees, and declare be-
fore God and man that if they will go on his
bond he will forever support them for any
thing, right or wrong. But when a white
Republican is appointed, they go to his res
enc without a pledge.-Necbern, (N. C~)
Lodge.
WOULD LIKE TO KNOW.
We would like to know what white man is
afraid that his colored friend will beat him
in the race of life, for q living.-hanston

NOT PARTISAN.
We have been asked time and again who
we were going to support during the cam
paign. We answer, and say, that our paper
is on the "independent" principle and we
reserve the right to "pitch in" to any party
who is currupt, be he Democrat or Republl-
can. We favor men who have the farmers,
the mechanics, the professionals, the mer-
thants and in fact, the poor class, especially
at Decentralization IN c. Times.
POLITICAL FREEDOM.
We. like the white men of the Republican
party, are simply members of it and do not
belong to it. We are opposed to our race
being enslaved politically, and we therefore
advocate political freedom on the stump and
at the ballot box, and the time will come,
sooner or later, when the colored mans poll
ties will not be known by the complexion OF
his skin, and when the race will become III
t~ellieent enough to show that it belongs to
no party, but has the sam right as any
other race in the exercise Of their ballot

LIVING ISSUES NOW.
The Democratic party will have no occa
sion now, to harp on Civil Rights as the
great end and aim of the Republican party
for the reason that its National Convention
at Chicago declared also in favor of civil ant
political rights, and even more, if you will
because it boldly asserts equality ofrights.
We arc glad of this because it eliminates
from the discussions that are to be engaged
in during this campaign such a hypocritica
cry as has been e letofore INDUCED, "eivl
rights" Negro equality with white man, &c
It was always the merest bugbcar and trici
of the d%emogogue, but such specLous clap
trap cannot be listened to now without
grain of allowance-the person using it being
either ignorant or p~urposely evasive II
either case it will be met with "your part'
has also declared in favor of it," Now TO
living issues and nothing less arbor'

GENERAL BUTLER.
To the colored men. of this country Gen
Butler is a true and tried friend, and thougl
they may not vote for him at the coming
election, still it would he altogether unbe
coming in them to say a word derogatory t
his fame or great name. As Governor o
Massachusetts he accorded to the colore'
men of that commonwealth adegree OF recoe
milton not before enjoyed, and this was don
by him in the face of the fact that he wa
