Thursday last ut MadisonvIR

The candidates were received
along the way by several hundreds

cavalcade and grouped themselves
about the brothers, who rode in
different convoyanoos. Over 800
mounted men mot Bob Taylor, the
Democratic candidate. and with a
brass band escorted him and his
party into jacksonville. The
ladies of the town fcstooncd the
platform upon which the brothers
spoke with ivy, cedar and flowers.
Both speeches on the occasion were
fine efforts. ALI. Taylor, the Re-
publican candidate, is said to be Il
very effective and powerful de-
batter, but his brother is the more
eloquent and creates most cnthu-

agreed between them that not a
single personality shall enter into
the discussions. The Tennessee
papers are printing their speeches

THE COLORED RACE.

The Columbus Citizen referring
to the recent colored convention
in this city for the purpose of con-
sidering the moral, intellectual
and industrial condition of the
race, says with truth; GAS with
the whites, their moral, intellec-
tual and industrial advancement is
matter of personal excrtion. The
state makes ample provisions for a
good English education for all the
children within its confines.
Whether or not they avail them
selves of it is a matter CT their
own volitien." Many colored men
overlook the fact that when the
negroes were made free and inves-
ted with the ballot that they be-
came citizens and as such they
have equal rights with the white
citizens, no more and no less, and
that as citizens they, the same as
the whites, are wholly dependent
upon their own exertions. Before
the law and at the ballot box all
men are upon an equality. The
colorod people have established
their own churches and they should
now establish their own industrial
schools if they want them. The
colored race must stand or fall on
its own merits there is nothing
now in the way of the advance
ment of the colorcd man, the
whites are ut all times ready TO cx-
tend a helping hand, and are much
moro disposed to build them up
than to tear them down. A good
citizen, white or black, Is far pre-
ferabIe to q bad one, and all color
ed men equally with white ones
have it in their power by industry,
frugality and honesty to become
good and useful citizens. As to
the matter of social equality that
is something that is regulated by
the unwritten law, there being no
written law TO govern it. Social
distinctions exist among the
whites themselves, there being in
fact no such thing IN existence as
universal social equality.

kingman agrees TO pay a stated

ness, while personally assuming ali
risk of possible loss. They agree
that the wages paid shall be those
generally in force throughout the
city, that Mr.. Klngman shall have
entire charge and direction of the
business, and that any workman
can withdraw by giving thirty
days notice, taking with him the
money he has invested in the busl-

labor organization they see fit,
but, being members of the firm,
they could not be ordered out in

THE REPUBLICAN AND THE COLoRED MEN
ST. Louis Republican.
The Republicans are finding the
colorcd man a most manageable
and refractory animal, and il Is
amusing to observe the trouble
they have with him. They thought
they understood him. but they do
not. He persists in acting in the
most unwarrantablc and unacount-
able manner. He sets all their
theories of pTopricty at defiance
Thoy are clear enough in their
minds about what he ought to do,
but they are continually cncoun-
tcring the fact that no doesn't do
it. Tho time is still fresh in our
recollection when their regulation
platforms in their elaborate cata-
loguo of the great things achieved
by the Republican party dwclt with
tedious iteration on striking the
shackles from 100000 bondmen"
and transforming them into citi-
zcns by giving them the ballot.
But all this is changed. We search
for 1t in vain in the modern Repub-
lIcan platform. Instead of it we
now have the most conspicuous
Republican leader bringing two
complaints against the black man;
first, that he dosn't vote the Re-
publican ticket second. that he is
a dangerous enemy to tho white
lahOror of the North.
Of course 1t is the Democratic
party on which the blame for both
these unexpected misfortunos is
placed. 1t is the Democratic party
that prevents the colorod man in
the South from voting the Rcpubli-
can ticket, and it Is the Democratic
party that in some mysterious
manner not easy to explain or I'M
derstand, brings HIM in disastrous
competition with Northern white
labor. Still, the fact remains that
the colorcd man, in the hands of
the Republican leaders, is failure.
He does not serve the purpose they
expected of him. They looked tor
him to Ropublicanizo tho South,
and furnish them an easy falling
place when their party should lose,
and it is losing its hold on the
Northern statos. In this thoy are
disappointed. The South is solidlv
Democratic in spite of the colorod
vote, and in some respects with the
aid of 1t. The emphatic satlsfac-
ton of the colored people at find
ing that, instead of being rc-ensIav-
cd, oppressed and maltrcatcd I'M
dor tie Democratic rule, as the
Republican leaders told them thoy
would be, they are actually bottor
off than they were under Repnbll-
can rule is causing them to drift !
into the Democratic camp. Their
vote Is, therefore, so hopelcssly
lost to the Republicans that in |
many Of the Southern states the
Republican party has ceased to |
exist; and in addition to the loss of
his vote in politics, he has the au-
dacious lngratItude 10 threaten
their policy of protection by work
ing for lower wages than is paid
for white labor in the North, and |
thereby offering premium on tho
investment of manufacturing cap
ital IN the South. In short, the |
dealing of the Republican leaders
with tho colored man has brought
them only vanity and vexation of
spirit.

THE PROHIBITYONISTS.

Tho Prohibition convention plat
form arraIgns the Democratic par
ty for quite a number shortcom-
ings and makes a gross and uncaIl-
ed for personal attack upon the
Democratic nominee for governor,
but the chief of their grievances is
tho failure of the Democratic con
vention TO insert n plank in the
platform submitting q prohibition
amendment to q vote of the people.
Had this plank been inserted 1t is
very likely the Prohibition party
would not have boon organized.
Sumptuary Legislation is contrary
to tho doctrines and principles of
Democracy and large majority OF
the party are satisfied with its ac-
ton in refusing TO entertain the
amendment proposition. Some
years ago tho prohibltionists petit
toned to the legislature asking
the submission of prohibition
amendment to tho constitution, and
strange as it may seem the propo-
sition was only defeated by 4 small
majority. Tho BANNER referred
to the proposition at the time 1t
was before the Legislature, and it
was conclusivoly shown that hard
ly twenty thousand voters had
signed the petition, perhaps a
much less number than that, while
at the same time tho state had up
wards OF three hundred thousand
voters, and over two hundred and
eighty thousand of them did not
want any amendment submitted.
Tho state had then and has now
a local option law by which the
citizens of a Justices precinct or a
county can have local option if
they desire it. About year ago
a local option election was held IN
this county in pursuance OF the law
and which resulted in an over
whelming defeat the same result
would obtain in the state, but the
prohlbltionists, being men of but
one idea, care nothing for this and
have no respect whatever for the
rights and opinions of others. The
Missouri prohlbitionists and Re-
publicans seem TO have fallen into
tho idea that respectable number
of citizens have o right to involve
tho state in turmoil. The st. Louis
in this connection
makes tho following remarks,
which seem to fit the case exactly:
The "respectable-number-of-citi-
zens" theory of the Missouri Re-
publican convention would keep
tho state in perpetual tumult. A
number of citizens can
DO got to petition for anything
prohibition, woman suffrage, COM
free liquor, anarchy and
what not. fla prohibition amend
nent were submitted and voted
Town this year, "a respectable
umber of citizens" would require
is resubmission next year; and, if
yoted down again, another sub
the year after-and so on
o the end of time. A party that
deliberately proclaims such unmit-
Igated nonsense ought TO be re-
TO the study of the horn
,ook of human rights.

A NEGRO preacher of Pittsburgh,
Pa, has been nominated for con-
gressman-at-large on the Prohibit
ton ticket id Pennsylvania. He,
in accepting, admits the debt OF
the colored race to the Republican
party, but claims that it has been
discharged with interest, and that
sentiment can no longer be their
guide, but thay must exercise their
rights as citizens, as to them seem
to be right. Briefly the colored
man is not any longer under obli-
cations 20 one party more than he
is to another and that hereafter he
must act and vote rs he will best
subserve his interests and tho in
terests OF the county. All obliga-
tions upon tho colored man to be a
republican have long since been
fulfilled.

A DALLAS prohibitIonist writes
to the Dallas News condemning
the Prohibition convention and
saying the platform adopted is cal
culated to bring it into ridicule
and contempt. The great trouble
is that the average prohIbitionist
starts out by charging that the sale
ofwhiskey is the prime cause of all
evil that is done in the land, and
instead of trying to make men
sober and respectable by moral
suasion, they would do SO by enact
ing laws TO prevent the manufac-
turo and sale of liquor. In other
words they propose to make men
moral by legislation, which is a
physical imposibility. The fact
that prohibition has always proved
a partial or complete failure seems
to have no influence on them.
