Why these Reflections ?

The recent reflections by the Senate
OF the nominations of several worthy
G 3lored citizens to Federal Offices by
the President is matter demanding
the attention of the thinking men Of
the race. How ? why? and by whom {!
are all important questions.
MIR, II. G. Binford, nominated for
Register Of the Land Office at this city
bore an unspotted record, and had
undisputed ability to run the office.
The same report comes to us Of Mr..
Washington Of Montgomery-and of
the South Carolina nominees. De-
feated without charges
Have pretended friends connived
with foes to cut the throats of these
representative colored men ?
1t is triumph of prejudice, duplic-
ity and treachery.
The victors (?) must be given the
full benefit of their noble ~ achieves

COlOred MaSOnS.

The eolored Masons Of the Union are
making extensive arrangements for cele-
brating the centennial of the introduction
of Masonry among the Masons of African
origin. On Sept. 80, 1884, warrant was
issued by the Duke of Atholl, Grand Mas
ter of England, constituting African Lodge
No. 459, with Prince Hall as Master, to be
located at Boston, Mass. After the Revo-
luton, upon creation of the Grand Lodge
of Massachusetts,, the negroes were request
ed to surrender their warrant and haYe it
replaced by another emanating from the
new State authority. Fearing some Chi
canery, the Africans sent copy of their
charter and, upon refusal of the Grand
Lodge to issue new warrant, as they had
anticipated, the colored brothers, who were
undoubtedly as legitimate as their white
neighbors, fell back upon the original docu
ment and declared themselves to be inde-
pendent. Consequently their lodge was
stricken from the roll of the English Grand
Lodge and remained dormant until 1927,
when 1t was revived as a Grand Lodge.
This is claimed to be an invasion Of the
Massachusetts jurisdiction and colored
Masonry proclaimed to be spurious and
clandestine This line Of argument is not
only false, but unworthy Of Masonry, mas
much as the Prince Hall Lodge was a per
fectly legitimate one, and upon the refusal
OF Massachusetts to grant them a charter,
the colored Masoas were perfectly right in
perpetuating their organization as best
they could-N Corner Stone.

IT appears from the following edi-
terial in Thursdays Montgomery Ad-
vertiser that the free trade and tariff
elements of Alabama Democrats are
not far removed from an open war
fare
"It will appear as a very strange
thing to the people Of Alabama, that
Gen. L. P. Walker should have voted
to make George L. Converse Chair
man Of the platform committee. Mr..
Converse is the man who took the
floor and moved to strike out the en-
acting clause of what is known as
the Morrison bill. For this he earn
ed the well deserved hostility of the
great body of the Democrats in Con-
gress. Every member from Alabama
who voted, cast his vote against the
motion. And for this man General
Walker cast his vote in preference to
Mr.. Morrison. In our judgment he
made grave mistake, not in refusing
to vote for Morrison, but in choosing
to vote for such man as Converse.
We sincerely hope that his vote for
Converse does not mean that he will
60 with that protectionist in his tariff
ideas"

Platform Committee Hang Fire or

Most Of the session Thursday, in
the Democratic National Convention
at Chicago was taken up in contin-
uance of the nomination speeches Of
the various distinguished candidates.
The Committee on Resolutions and
Platform, early in the day sent in a
message that the Committee would
not be ready with its report until Z
that evening. The outside world
could only have faint imagination
OF the great struggle dividing the
Committee about half and half Oh the
momentous question of Protection or
Free Trade-the two waring ele-
ments led by Converse and Morrison
But the battle had to be fought, or
the chasm bridged.
1t was bridged and Free traders
and Protectionists grasped hands
over platform with plank for ev-
erybody. We will give it next week

The River and Harbor Bill passed
at the late session of Congress and
signed by President Arthur appro-
pirates $350,00O for the improve

Tennessee River. The work will be
under full neadway again just as soon
as Major King can get the forces to-
gether and tools in order. This will
be speedily done and the ''Canals"
will be busy scenes once again. It is
estimated that the great work will be
completed in the Fall of next year.

At 1890 yesterday, the news of the
nomination of Gov. Cleveland as the
Democratic candidate for President
was wired from Chicago.
Buffers name was kissed when
placed in nomination by John Kelly,
the chief Of Tammany.
After Cleveland's nomination the
Convention adjourned to 6 o'clock
Friday evening, too late for the GA
zETTE to get toe nomination for Vice

Going Backward.

Four years ago at Chicago the Re-
publican National Convention reject
ed the unit rule as opposed to the
American idea of individual freedom
and Independence.
The Democracy four years behind
the times Tuesday in National Con-
vention assembled reached the subject
and with its characteristic "gag-law'
and tyrannical tendencies adopted the
unit rule.
Thus the Democratic party contin-
ues to turn up on the wrong side Of

The regala used is all after one general
idea, and is well chosen to make an excel
lent display, especially in parades, which
are always full. The convocations in Mem
phis Of the various Communicates is the
most important event of the kind which has
ever occurred in the South, as the order is
a rapidly growing one. The procession and
