there to carry out the principles to put
in nomination on our State ticket an
African to he disgrace to the party
and continued disgrace to the State
and to add more black spots on the
wall of the Capitol. Thomas Jefferson
the compiler of the declaration of In
dependence and also a leading member
Of that convention, that formed the
constitution of the United States, that
has been the supreme law of the land
from that time until 1862, proclaimed
to the world in 1898 that this govern
ment belonged to the white and saxon
race and would be dictated and run
by them and the democrats have sail
cd under that banner, up to the present
time. The republicans, a name that they
stole after the democrats had laid it
by in peace, took it up in 1852 and
drew a black line across their banner
and continued to draw one after the
other until 1862 they stopped over the en-
tire vessel of African dye and obliteraed
every bright spot on their banner and
have sailed under black color ever
since. Two years ago they put mig
ger in the Capitol as Auditor and after
exhausting their curiosity by love for
the colored brother for two years they
then placed their foot on him and says
to him stay out of this sanctified man
sion for you make too big blot on our
record, we will put white brother in
your place. And you will remember
after the colored McCabe was placed in
nomination how the democrats howled
like go many demons, at having the
Capitol polluted with the African
mobiles and now the 80 called democrat
ic convention dropped right back in the
rear of the republican district and have
taken up colored brother to McCabe
for the same Office, the first that I have
any knowledge either from history or
my own personal observation that the
democrats have ever attempted to use
the African race for political ends by
attempting to place them in office
which is entirely foreign to the princi.
pies the party has hitherto advocated.
And now when the two great political
parties have put their forces in battle
array and march forth for the final
struggle in November under the pres
ent colors, I shall be compelled to break
ranks to the right flank and mount
the summit of democratic fame and
throw to the breeze the old colOrs that
have waved over us as one guiding
star for nearly century, untarnished
by African mind and after they have
suffered an ignominious defeat of
which they are sure to do for a defeat
results in stampede and q stampede
In decentralization. and Generalization
in ruin. As the hosts surge back after |
their disgraceful defeat I will hold out
the old banner in its purity for them
to rally around and after they have
acknowledged their error and repent of
their evil doings, will say unto them
as Christ said unto the Harlot go and
sin no more for you have received
your reward for your short sighted and
foolish acts and will be a warning to
you in all time to come. Now would
advise the democrats of Kansas to put
their political machinery in operation
and dredge the channel of the man and
filth that has commenced to settle In
and obstruct the navigation of our
craft that we may sail clear of all dam
ger of a collision caused by the neglect
of their duty of the men that we place
at the helm. It is an old saying, give
the devil his just due, and right here
We propose to do it, for it is neither just
nor right in speaking of individuals
either for or against them without
giving reasons why you do SO; and now
to do that I will ask, is it not enough
for the honor and glory of the African
race that inhabit the United States and
territories in their present early adj
to stand up and proclaim
to the world that they were the images
that the American people 80 loved
and worshiped that it lost the lives Of
one million three hundred thousand of
the white and black races, and three
hundred million of dollars to take
them out of the land of Egypt and
march them through the "Red" Sea
Of blood-not of their own blood but
of the blood of the withstand land
them on the other side of Jordan, into
the promised land Of Caanan, and after
they were safely over and scattered
broadcast throughout the entire do
main this government has each and
every year spent several million dol
lars to advance them and bring them
on to q plain more elevated than the
savages, and this is not the end of the
expense, for it takes forty-two million
each year to heal the wounds and
soothe the painful disease that was
brought on to them while In the strife
for their exit from the land of Egypt.
Now with all this startling records
behold you have taken them up
and made q nominee Of one of their
race for state Office to sit in council and
rule over us-that has never been one
lOllar advantage to the democrats, but ]
