SHERMAN REPUBLICANS IGNORING THE
NEaRo.-The nomination of John s. At
wood for colored delegate at large from
Ohio to the national republican convention
was made by Walter s. Thomas, colored
member of the State convention. After
eulogizing the character of Atwood, who
was soldier and loyal Republican, and
stating that whilst the negroes constituted
one-fourth of the Republicans of Ohio, thoy
only asked for one-f -fortieth of the Represen-
tation, the speech concluded as follows
"These colored republicans, representing,
as they claim, one-fourth of the republican
voters Of Ohio, had been promised if they
would unite on a man he should be sent Az
delegate. They did unite, but ignoring
the promise made by his friends, and in the
face of the above appeal, Mr.. John Sher-
man would not permit a colored man to be-
put on the delegation which is to stand by
him at Chicago while he has button on his
coat. He passes sleepless nights because
colored men in the South have no political
recognition, but the negro vote in Ohio,
without whose support he would not to-day
be in the Senate, is not good enough to as
sOciate with the white republicans of his
delegation to Chicago. After Mr.. Sher-
mans convention had turned its back on
the colored men, it added insult by throw
ing husks at their heads in the shape of de-
signaling two of them as alternates, polit-
ical favors, always considered as of the
cheapest possible character, not of as much
account as dry bone to dog"

HEAVENLY REST.

They built'ea a church up in Probityville,
'Twar finished bout two year ago,
1t sorter peeps down from the top of hill
On the village that cuddles below.
It's got peak roof an a tidy white frame
An cupla whar swalle RS do nest,
An it pears just likeit war desarvin the name
The Church of the Heavenly Rest"
Maria's member we hahn t got no hoss,
But she didn't mind walkin'. she said,
When 1t come to git help for to tighten her
cross
An rations % spirit'al bread,
An sartin as Sund'y come round she was thar
An she alters cum hum seemin' blest
With a song in her heart for her season O. pra'
At the "Church Of the Heavenly Rest"
One Christmas she took me along, an yum !
Eff my sinful OIL heart didn't I'LL
To the brim when they told Of the Savior that
To crown us with peace an goodwill,
An then when the organ rolled out with
That I'd hearn mother sing, why 1t Jest
Seemed to mellow my soul an I felt a sweet
In the "Church of the Heavenly Rest"
went right along arter that. for the ar
Seemed the same for the poor an the rich,
For alters they'd beg the Good Father to spar
From envy an malice an sich;
An when they'd be singin' bout blessin the
ties
That boun' them in love, confessed
Ef thax was a sweet haven on earth to my eyes
'Twar the Church of the Heavenly Rest"
It's strange how original sin took holt
On that flock. but 1t certainly did;
It seemed pretty soon like risky young colt
Thro' thar Garden of Eden had rid;
Sister Guile get offended at Sister Ferdun
For something-it couldn't he suggested
And both started factions determined to run
That "Church OF Heavenly Rest"
They ut at the start in a mild sort o. way,
Still smilin' an prayin the same,
But each of 'em strivip', howsever, to lay
Some plan 'gainst the tother ones aim,
The one wanted this. an the t'other one that,
An twixt 'em they worked sich pest
That the Spirit O. Evil just come an sat
On the "Church of the Heavenly Rest"
The choir. of course, gave the circus lift
An stirred up a terrible fuss,
The bass and the trebble they somehow got
miffed
And the rest had their grudges to nuss.
They .warbled right on, but shucks Ef the
style
OF thar feelin's in songs they'd expressed
They'd a. drawn the hull town about twenty
two mile
From the "Church of the Heavenly Rest"
The Dominic poured ali the lie that he had
On the TURBULENT waves, SO to speak.
But he might as we'll tried for to dove-tail a
shad
With a boulder in Scuppernong creek.
The more he sought peace, why the more he
found spleen,
TIL at last he declared he'd be blessed
Ef he didn't think Satan had TUX out lien
On the "Church Of the Heavenly Rest"
It's sad, mighty sad IT'S sort of sm1rch
On religion, they'll say. don't you see ?
An besides we'd been lookin' at that little
church
AS sym'tom Of what is to be.
But it's Jest as Maria remarks-when we go
From this world, having acted our best,
The Lord won't permit' us poor critters to
know
That kind of a Heavenly Rest.

Such is Malone and Mahoneism. Tn

Such is Malone and Mahoneism. Un-
compromising, revengeful, dictatorial him
self, it is no wonder that he should have
adopted policy of bossism in the manage
ment of his party. The masses have been
thoroughly disciplined under the Malone
idea, and like the subservient subjects of
the tyrants of old, they submit to the arbi-
tary DEGREES of their leader, feeling that
the king can do no ng,and that it were
an objectionable sin to rebel. Robbed of
the spoils of party, humiliated by repeated
defeat, and yet gored by the tyranny of
Malone, it is not surprising that the leaders
who knew the Malone trick should have
rebelled. But it is not so with the masses.
They are too well trained. It's crime for
the colored man and brother to rebel
against the publican party, and he is
promptly communicated by his church
when he commits this unpardonable offence.
Under these circumstances, is not MIR.
Wise's appeal to the alleged Independence
of the party a hollow mockeryP Mahone-
ism has no dealing with independence and
to appeal to this imaginary sentiment of
the party is to appeal to the dumb beast
not to be guided by the hand that holds the
reins over his back.-Lynchburg Virginian.
