OUk cOiOreQ ctLizens always vote the
Republican ticket, but when they want IA
vors they invariably apply to their friends,
who are democrats. II they want work the
democrats give it to them; if they want
contributions to build church, school
house, buy brass band instruments, equip
a military company, or buy coffin to
bury their dead, or when they get in Jail
and want somebody to 20 their bond or
pay their fine. they generally apply to their
white Democratic friends, who always gen.
erously extend help and aid So prone
are the colored people to ask these iavors
of their white democratic friends, that on
last Saturday worthy colored man car
ried q petition around asking white demo-
Gratis to contribute to fund in order to
enable the colored Republicans to have
torch-light procession to glorify and hur-
rah over Harrison election The audaci-
ty aud cheekiness of the thing was lost
sight of by this brother in black owing
to their custom of asking favors, and know
ing the kindly feelings entertained for
them by the whites.
EDS. JoURNAL-We understand that
remonstrance is being gotten up to the
change of name of Lemon street to Polk
street. 1t seems that at the last meeting
Of the Council upon the petition of one
nonresident abettor who owns only fifteen
feet or less upon said Lemon street, the
name was changed to Polk street. None
of the other abettors who own hundreds OF
feet upon said street were notified of the
intended change or given chance to ex-
press themselves concerning it, nor were
they notified thereafter Of the change for
the notice in the Journal merely said petit
ton granted. Lemon has been the name
of this street since it was first laid out
some forty years ago and all the deeds
show this name. The oldest residents up
on this street as well as others have reason
to be incensed and outraged at the easy,
taking-it-for-granted way in which the
council have gone ahead to change the
name without consulting them. Watch
out fellow-citizens or you will wake up
some Tuesday after the first Monday of
month and find that you no longer live up
on the street you supposed you did, but
that the name has been changed to crafty
the wish Of some one who has the least to
say about the change
One WHO OBJECTS.
