HHE MISTAKE OF FRED DOUG
LASS.

Advancing years and failing influence
may be charitably set down as a sufi-
cient explanation of the extreme bitter
ness with which Fred Douglass comments
on the Democratic party and the election
of a Democratic President. In happy
contrast with his harsh retrospect and
pessimistic forecast are the hopeful
u~tterances of Rainey, Holland and others
of the Younger colored leaders who have
kept abreast with the current of public
feeling, while Douglass has been drifting
in a c~ircling eddy and deluding himself
that such motion has real progress.
It is fortunate for the colored people
of the United States, and especially of
the South, that Douglass has lost his
hold on them in proportion as he has
drifted out of the current of their
~sympathies and aspirations. In becom-
ing merely a chronic office-holder, and
viewing all things from the standpoint of
a placeman bound to pay for his place by
partisan work, he has lost his grip to
such an extent that his bitterness OF
spirit will not counteract the better in.
fuence of more progressive colored
leaders.
Men who are capable of learning by
observation do not ignore the fact that
the colored people of the South have
Jared incomparably better in all respects
under local Democratic rule than they
did under Republican rule.
Colored men who have studied the
condition of their race in the North as
we'll as in the South know that the best
friends of the blacks are the white people
of the South.
As for political rights, it does not yet
appear that the radical Republicans of
New England. the Western Reserve or
Kansas are more DESTROYS than the Dem.
ocrats Of Mississippi or South Carolina
to put colored men in offices.
MI. Cleveland will not be the Presi-
dent of any race, nationality or color,
but of all the people irrespective of such
distinctions. There is not the least &C.
casion for the colored people to fear that
he will fail in his obligations towards
them. He will see to it that the Con-
stitution is maintained and that the laws
are enforced.
