THE Ohio Miners Union recommends
ed for passage by the Legislature bill
to regulate the appointment of mine in%
spectors. John Mcbride voted and
worked against that bill twice, and
would have killed it had not the secre-

and demonstrated to the Legislature that
Mcbride was playing the miners false.

The Democracy and the Negro.

The convention which nominated Mr..
Cleveland sOlemnly expires sed its belief
in "a free ballot and fair count and In
"tte equality of all men before the law.
That was intended 10 mean that the
Democratic party stood pledged to see
that the right of suffrage was not deni
ed to colored voters in the South. The
election returns corrobOrated what had
been known to both parties. North and
South. that the colored men of the South
did not enjoy the right of suffrage, and
that the party declaration above cited
was lie. Had there been "free bal
lot and fair count" Mr. Cleveland
would not have been President. Through
the suppression of the black vote Mr..
Blaine was defrauded of the Office.
it is the fashion now to speak of the
colored voters as entirely secure in all
their rights, and the attitude of Dem
ocratic Administration toward them is
cited as giving the most abundant assu-
RANGES that they have nothing whatever
to apprehend from Democratic ascen-
dancy. Nay, more. The President, by
appointing colored resident of his own
town to an important and lucrative of
flee in Washington, is held up by his
party as disposed to be generous as well
as just to the blacks. Arguing from the
standpoint of these promises and their
alleged fulfillment,it is claimed that suf
frage is free at the South to all who
wish to exercise the right, and that COLI
ored men largely vote the Democratic
ticket
1t may safely be surmised that the av-
erage Bourbon editor of the South knows
a good deal more about negro suffrage
in that section than any one else, and
that they have habit of letting out the
truth at times is startingly apparent
from their own columns. A few days
ago Washington paper suggested that
the President could still further show
the good will of the Democratic party
to the negro race by appointing few
black men to Office in Mississippi, Louis
lana and Alabama. This moved the
New Orleans States, an earnest champs
on of Democracy, to remark that IF a
Democratic darky could be found in eth
er of the States named" 1t would be in
order to celebrate the discovery by ap.
pointing him to Office" Then we have
this significant declaration "A Demo
cratic negro is myth, and the RepubF
lican negro will, in the course of time,
be rare curiosity"
There is nothing truer than that "a
Democratic negro is myth" and it is
equally true that, under the tyrannical
and brutal system practiced by white
Democrats in the South, even the Re-
publican negro will ere long be rare
curiosity" The truth is, as Mr.. Blaine
has expressed it, the political power OF
the Government has been wrested by the
South through the disfranchisement of
more than six million American citizens,
who with more than one million voters,
were unable to choose a single elector
If free government is to survive, despe-
tism like this must be crushed out

THE suit for damages recently brought
by Charles E. Neisw wander agaiast the
Hon. John Mcbride, Democratic candi>
date for Secretary Of State, for alternating
the affections of Mrs NeiSwander, has
been withdrawn until after the election.
Owing to the attempt of the defendant
and his friends to make it appear that
this suit was brought to injure his polit-
ical prospects, the plaintiff who is a
Democrat, by his attorneys Tho are
Democrats, thought it wise to withdraw
the case until after the election, so that
a jury may be left free to decide the case
on its merits without political makes
weight attachments.
