The Colored Voters.

The colored voters have heretofore
served as a phalanx for the Republican
party, and have been confidently relied
upon as faithful allies by the leaders and
demagogues of that party. The signs indi-
cate that as a distinct factor in political
parties, they will soon cease to exist
In the Southern States, they no longer
rally to the call of the white demagogues
whose lead they were accustomed to
follow in opposition to the Democratic
party, and in the Northern States they
are asserting their independence in the
same way. Numerically the negroes
are stronger in Ohio than in any other
State north of the sectional line, and
their votes count not a little in elections.
A significant sign of the times is letter
written by RICHARD I. GREENER, who
is well known as colored campaign
speaker anu writer, to JOHN GREEN, of
Cleveland, another colored citizen, urg-
ing the colored voters of Ohio to refuse
to support Mr.. FORAKER, the Republi-
can candidate for Governor. Here are
some extracts from his letter:
thank you for the manly stand you
have taken so early against the nomina-
ton of Foraker. Stick to it and rouse the
colored vote, which is grossly insulted by
such a nomination. He was deservedly
beaten two years ago and ought to be
beaten worse now. l think the colored
people of this country have eaten political
crow longer enough, and if Republicans do
not respect us sufficiently to pay some
slight pretense to decent regard for our
feelings, then let them be taught lesson.
The Republican Party has been counting
and inviting defeat for eight years by its
arrant cowardice, truculency, and exalta-
ton OF little men with big ambition, no
heart, and contempt for principles. The
negro is not responsible for its blunders,
timidity, or consequent defeats. But when
the party goes on adding insult to treachery
and cowardice it is high time for every self
respecting negro throughout the land to
orxy holt

vice Commission, is entitled to appoint
ment when vacancy occurs, without
regard to politics, or previous condi-
ton" The following test case is re-
ported by the Washington correspon-
dent of the Times Democrat:
WASHINGTON, July 2.-Mr. Owen Kellar.
of Caldwell, o., who was certified by the
Civil Service Commission for appointment
to a clerkship in the First Auditors office,
and was rejected by First Auditor Chenow-
eth on the ground that he was Republi-
can and distasteful to Congressman Warner
and other Democrats of his neighborhood
was this morning appointed by order .of
Secretary Manning to the place for which
he was certified.
Mr.. Kellar yesterday brought the facts
in the case to the attention of the Civil
Service Commission, by whom they were
last evening laid before the President
The commission said the refusal to appoint
Kellar appeared to be- violation of Rule
8, which forbids any discrimination by the
appointing officer on political grounds, and
they further represented that the reception
of the recommendation by the Auditor
from Congressman Warner that Kellar be
not appointed appeared to be in plain vio-
lation of the zenith section of the civil SER
vice act, which says no recommendation
shall be received from any member of the
House of Representatives except as to the
character of the applicant, by any person
concerned in making any examination or
appointment under the act.
Under this provision the commissioners
hold that the Auditor had not the right to
receive any such recommendations from
member of Congress. Early this morning,
as the commission was further considering
the subject with a view to its more formal
presentation to the President, the follow
ing letter was received from the Secretary
of the Treasury:
TREASURY DEPT, OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY
WASHINGTON, ID. C., July 2, 1885
To Hon. Dorman B. Eaton, United States Civi
Service Commission:
SRI was not, until last night, fully in
formed of the circumstances connected
with the Kellar affair. If you have Mr.
Kellar's address will you kindly advise
him to report to me this morning for duty.
| intend that this Department shall strict
ly observe the law.
Respectfully yours,
DANIEL MANNING.
Mr.. Kellar sat in Commissioner Eaton's
Office when this letter was received, and
went at once to the Treasury Department
and was Immediately appointed and set at
work.
