The selection Of a Southern negro for
the temporary craftsmanship of the Chicago
Convention was intended solely to concili-
ate the voters Of that race, (who have re-
Gently shown some restlessness,) and to
bind them firmly to the desperate fortunes
of the Republican party.
1t was not because the negro Lynch was
the fittest man for the place, or because he
represents the great dominant race on this
continent, that he was chosen; but because
he was a negro! Only this, and nothing
more. And it is something new under the
sun that o convention of all the States,
wherein the representation is about nine
tenths white, should be induced to select a
freedman to preside over it!
But it was simply ga distinction based
upon race, color, and previous condition of
servitude," that the Republicans gathered
at Chicago made; and for the sole purpose
of combing wool over the eyes of the ne
gro voters of the country. The trick is toe
transparent even to be paliiated, much less
command the respect of thoughtful people
who can penetrate the thin guise that may
serve to hoodwink and flatter the poor ne.
groes. -Lynchburg Virginian.

business is not our kind of men. We don't

Howard.
Howard says Uodkiss offered S.. 900 to have
him killed. Howard is playing
crazy. n new dolgc for thief. In short,
expect the fellows who want to get rid of
him to hang him. or If not they will send
him for a long term of years to Canon City.
On the whole IL is not our racket.
expect to hear of Howard implicating n
number of others. IL he can show show
good proof outside Of himself it will cause n
great many arrests, and maybe some over in
