THE Saloon keepers Protective Association
of Cincinnati, the liquor league of that place,
has formally decided to assist in the election
of the Democratic candidate for the Supreme
Court. They are FESTIVE under the regua-
tons of the Dow law, and intend to assist in
the election of man pledged to pronounce it
unconstitutional. The Liquor League of this

Rev. Myron w. Reed for Congress-.

Denver Tribune. Sunday.
One of the most interesting of yesterdays de-
velopments was the sudden movement in favor
of the Rev Myron w Reed for Congress It is
tom of Reeds boom. He has been in favor of
nominating him for Governor an indepefG-
ent ticket. Mr.. Reeds political belief is not
known. Some say that he is Democrat; 9TH
ers that he is Greenbacke others that he is a
Republican. There seems to be but little ques-
ton that he will accept the nomination if it be
rendered to him. 1t is said that he has
always had desire to enter politics.
and would have gone in before if
he had ever been asked. There are
many Democrats who opposing him be-
cause they don't believe in bringing religion into
politics; but Mr. Reeds admirers assure these
doubters that there is nothing to fear from him
on that Mr.. Reed is what is termed a
popular preacher. He never breaches to empty
benches, and ne never wearies his hearers. He
tells them stories, and sends them home in good
humor. He might do very we'll on the stump.
His friend De La Matyr made successful cam
paign for Congress in Indiana some vears ago.
and could doubtless give him many points They
are both interesting speakers. If Reed should
be nominated he would, strange to say, be
very generally cut by the church going people
of the State--that is the orthodox church.
goers. He is not digui6ed and theological enough
to suit them. If Reed shall DO nominated this
will be a very interesting phase of the contest
II may have the effect, too of firing political am
btion in the hearts of one or two other ''popu-
lar preachers. There ie also small boom for
Mai Ed Smith, late of the law firm of Wells,
Smith & Macon. 1t has been started without
Smiths consent and it is quite likely that 1t will
amount to nothing for the reason that Smith will
not mako the race. The chances are that Mr.
Reed will be the nominee for Congress-

In the News Of last night there was the fol-

cat the Office of the Treasurer Of State it
is claimed that the statement that there are

This is an evasion which only aggravates
the suspicion that something in the State
Treasury is wrong No one charged that
there were any warrants outstanding and no
money to pay them with. This is man Of
straw The explanation made by the State
Treasurer, to which the News gives place, is
exactly the statement made in the

the drawing of warrants against an exhausted

THE COLORED KNIGHT.
Where is the money!

Assembly 40, of New York, is right in in.
sisting that its colored member be accorded
fair treatment in the city to which he goes as
a delegate to the Knights of Labor conven-
Labor is good enough to occupy frst-class
seat in a theatsr. There is much more in
this thing than the mere insult offered the
colored man by the fine people of Richmond
If the Knights of Labor are to succeed in
their endeavors to better the condition of la
boring men, it is necessary that all classes of
labor be lifted up and defended in their rights.
If the colored workingman of the South is
not to be allowed to speak for himself and
protect his interests, it is folly for the white
workingman of the North to talk about bet
tering his condition. One reason to-day why
the iron mills Of the South are
able to undersell, in some instances,
those of the North is that the colored man
having no voice in elections, is unable to COM
pei legislation that will be of relief to him.
The colored man will have to be given place
in American politics on level with his en-
ployer OR there is no possibility of his rising
above his present low level. And as long as
he is kept down, he must of necessity drag
down white labor with him through the abili-
ty of his employer to undersell him who hires
white men to work for him. One of the prime
duties of the day is for the knights of Labor
TO insist that the laboring portion of the
South be re-enfranchised, 80 that the work
ingman may make himself heard in elections
and in the legislation under which it is OK
pected to live. The stand taken by the
Knights of Labor at Richmond should be in
sisted upon. It is not much of question in
itself, but if insisted on would pave the way
to the complete deliverance of tho working
men of the South
THE snobs of Richmond are little more
select than the Northern Knights Of Labor,
and rule that the man good enough to asso-
ciate with Northern workingmen is not good
enough to be allowed to sit in theater on the
Same floor with white men. These aristocrats
will live to learn that the laboring men Of this
country will not submit to this thing. The
white workingman is advancing, and it is
necessary for him to take his colorod brother
along with him. They are moving forward
hand in hand. The ar;stocracY of slavery is
