ton CLAY, of Kentucky a non-delegate, but
with the shiniest of hats, pretended not to
see parallel between Blaine and Henry
CLAW, for he affected not to know who the
latter was.
Other Men.
But these are mere special types OF the
negro character in convention. The ma
iority of them are sensible men. Many are
men of prominence Take that class and
they do not recognize that they are handl-
capped by even the most ardent OF the
white politicians of the North. 1t is impos-
sible to get up a discussion of the subject,
for thev cannot realize that they are ig-
nored. They attribute disappointments OF
that kind to the logic of political events and
not to race prejudice. You cannot make
man like Harvey, of Mississippi, Lynch, OF
the same State, Demos, of Louisiana, little
Wright of Alabama, or Jere HARRISON, oil
the same State, understand that the color
Of their skin figures at all. They are all
intelHgent-some have wealth-many are
orators born and bred and mere race poll
tics never enters into their heads.
A Good Word for Democrats.
Perhaps one Of the most sensible colored
men on the ground is Senator Drmos, OF
Louisiana. He is another who believes that
the colored man should not ask nor accept
ANYTHING on account of race. He believes
that any man born on the soil should be re-
garded as an American pure and simple
and the color of his skin ignored. we do
not believe in the sentiment, said the Sena-
tor, that We are new race of people pro
iected into American politics by the war
or by the efforts of the Republican
party. We fought for our freedom
and eufranchisement; We were not depend
ent upon anybody but ourselves, for that;
You cannot make an intelligent colored
man at the South more angry, except to call
him niger than by assuming as fact
in his presence that he owes his freedom to
the Republican party per Sc. We owe our
freedom to the fate of war-the war was
forced by our own people, and the great
people of the North fought it out and we
helped them. have many Democratic
friends who fought as hard for the cause
which resulted in our freedom as did the
Republicans, and want them to have their
share Of credit.
