FLICK VS.. %cLIFFoRD.
Clifford VS.. Flick.
IFrom die Pioneer Press.l

That I have been a Republican
fanatic in this State for the past 16
years, toiling irksomely to the detri-
ment of time, my pocket-book, my
past position and family, and that
damns have been my remuneration,
are facts that can be proven. That
there are genuine Republicans in this
State, we have no doubt, and were
they at the head of affairs our past
feaIty to the party would be the same
to-day; but it is not so, and hence u
course. / have known Mr.. Flick
from a boy, and we were as good
friends as two such men could be
one, of course always having a place.
i eve did a thing against Mr. Flick
in my life until after he treated me
the way he did in the Republican on
vention held in Martinsburg, in 1884.
Up to that time I had worked for him
like q turk, and 1 dare him or any
other Republican of Berkeley county
to say that I ever asked for money or
received any from him-but on the
other hand, 1 have worked, paid my
personal expences, livery hire and
then given money out of my own
pocket to help the cause.

WHY MR.. FLICK OPPOSED he.
When the post office contest took
place here, it was my privilege, as a
citizen, to decide and act according
to my decision. and in doing which 1
favored Mr.. Wisner with whom l was
reading lava privilege Mr.. Flick
denied me "for want of time" and
on the same day and in my presence
offered to take a white student). For
doing so, Mr.. VIM. Fl. Riggs called
me a d-n yellow son of a b.
and said the idea of niger taking
a part in a white mans fight" Mr..
Riggs was then chairman of the Re-
publican County Executive Commit
tee, and upon seeing him 1 took him
to task and the " old soldier denied
it with an oath. But coming from the
source it did, I knew he vas lying
and published him daring him sew
eral times to meet me at places named
and dates fixed, but Captain Riggs
would not show up. The fact that he
was a white man, is the only reason
that I can see why Mr.. Flick treated
me as I shall now show; and / know
of many scores of colored men who
are going to remember Mr.. Flick be-
cause / am n cOlored man. l was
nominated in the State convention
here as a delegate against Senator
VIM. NJ. O. Dawson and was elected
by a majority Of 10, whereupon Mr..
Flick in the presence of more than
q thousand witnesses deliberately
went from delegation to delegation
changing votes from me to Dawson
and thus defeated me and l am sur
prised that he is going around deny
ing it now, as he did openly at Kear-
neysville that he was no delegate to
that convention. Did that hinder him
from working against me? / was no
delegate either, but l was nominated
and elected, but he and his allies de-
feated me. A certain man said
loudly: "No dn niger will go
to Chicago as q delegate from this
State, and don't you forget it," and
we claim by Flick's action he carried
out the spirit of that low assertion.
He told the people at Kearneysvillc
that he opposed me to honor Bossy
Lewis, who is dead. 1t is not So
Bossy Lewis nominated me and beg
ged the convention to send me-
Again after Dawson vas declared the
delegate, was I not legally his alter
nate? Well they ven took that
ss great honor which has been so law
ishly thrust upon colored men in this
State, from me. After this [ met Mr..
Flick in Parkersburg and with him
had a talk about the matter and agreed
to support him, but later on 1 was
appointed Hon. Commissioner to the
New Orleans Exposition, and we again
find MI. Flick trying to have my COM
mission taken from me Now, come,
Mr.. Flick, didn't you go to Washing
ton in person to crafty Riggs, Evans
and Rohrbaugh, who were heard plot
ting to send me to Jail to get me out
of the way? Again. when 1 vas to
speak with distinguished men in 1884,
why did you dub me a "Whipper-
whopper?" Why did you say re-
sently "Let the d-n niger 60 to

MIR. GREEN AND LABOR,

We re-publlsh ia this issue the speech
delivered by Robert Stockton Green, the
Democratic candidate for Governor at
Newark some days ago, because it makes
the fullest possible answer to the Repub-
lican pretence that Mr.. Green is not in
sympathy with labor. He quotes his vote
on every labor question upon which he
has had opportunity to vote and shows
from the record, that he has never been
any where else than on the side of labor.
The letter we publish from the gentleman
who was sent by the labor unions to
watch the labor interest in Congress bear
out all that Mr.. Green says. These COM
mendations from the leaders of the labor
movements are the epitomized proofs that
MIR. Green has always been the friend of
the laboring man. Read them
On the other hand we present the rec
ord that Mr.. Howey, Congressman Green's
opponent has made for himself. Mr..
Howey seems during his unauspicious
Congressional term, TO have had little OPP
portunity to show his teeth to the labor
ing masses; but he seems to have made
the most of that little. No laboring man
need be reminded of the excitement
aroused throughout the country
some years ago by the Anti Chinese
Legislation.
Its purpose was to keep out of the
country horde of half ssvages from the
Orient who, being able to live on rats and
mice, could underbid American labor in
all the marts of industry
Their threatened invasion of the coun-
| try would have brought poverty and mis-

ANTI MONOPOLY!

The Democrats Party is the Anti-Mo-
Dopoly Party Ollie State; and the gem
tlemen on the Democratic ticket who are
soliciting the suffrages of the people of this
County to-day are. as far as they have had
a..chance to make record. for themselves,
the shining advocates of that policy.
Robert Stockton Green the Democratic
candidate for Governor, was a member of
the Constitutional Commission that, thir-
teen years ago put that clause into the
amended Constitution declares for equal
taxation and that other which forbids the
granting OF special corporate powers; and
1t was at his instance and through his eff
fort mostly that those clauses were inserted
in the organic law Of the State. The inev-
liable result of its presence there was the
passage of the General Railroad Law
which broke up the greatest railroad mo-
nopoly this State has ever known,
The Sunday morning news. [volume] (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1886-1891, 1886-10-31

Governor Leon Albeit, whom the Dem
ocrats propose to make United States
Senator, enforced the passage. by the
Legislature of 1884, OF the Act under
which the railroads are obliged 10 pay
their taxes into State and Municipal
Treasures.
Congressman McAdoo was the fearless
and eloquent champion, in the Assembly
some years ago, of the popular rights as
opposed to railroad aggressions, and was
the leader through whom ''Cul" Barca-
lows great water front grab was defeated,
and the villainy by which it was pro-
NOTED was exposed.
Mr.. Hudspeth, the Democratic nominee
in the Sixth District, made stern fight
against Railroad power in the Assembly
last year.
Mr.. Noonan, The Democratic nominee
in the Eighth District, was the outspoken
opponent of the Railroad bosses in the
same Assembly.
John G. Besson, Of Hoboken, made
himself leader among the Members last
winter by the skill and tireless energy
with which he strove to defeat all the
unholy railroad movements of the ses-
sion.
The record made by Assem- lyman
Pearson from the Fifth District, and
Tunulty from the Second, prove their
perfect freedom from railroad influences
and control.
There is the proof of what we said at
the start-that the Democratic Party is
the Anti Monopoly Party of the State.
On the other hand, the Republican
Party is under the heel of William j.
Sewell and all its energies are being bent
to-day to elect a Senate and Assembly
that will return him to the United States
Senate.
And Sewell, as every man in the State
knows, is only the Pennsylvania Railroad
under another name.
