WHAT JUDGE THURMAN
THINKS OF NEGRO
SUFFRAGE.
rSt. Louis Advance:


Judge Thurman RECALLED a few
Negro sycophants at Columbus
last Thursday with the following
remarks: 1t is true that in 1867,
before suffrage for your people had
been adopted, when the question
was in Ohio, and in Ohio, alone,
whether the word "white" should
be struck from the Constitution, /,
together with large majority, vot-
cd against striking it out. The
reasons were plainly stated and
stoutly maintained. 1t was not
right for Ohio to take such action
when nearly all the other States
were otherwise. That reason l
urged against such action.
This is what Judge Thurman
says today when he needs the Ne
gro vote of Ohio and the doubtful
staies. Below we give what Judge
Thurman actually said when the
question of Negro suffrage was ac-
tually submitted to the white peo-
pie of Ohio in 1867. Compare the
TWO speeches and see how crafty
and audacious the old gentleman
is.
His words are: ssOf all the de-
lusious have ever known, the idea
of political equality between the
white and black races seems 20 be
the greatest. For more than four
thousand years the history of the
world has been written, and in all
that time there is not a recorded
annal of a civilized Negro govern
ment there is not one instance of
political equality between the two
races, that has not proven 1Djour-
ious to both; and yet it is proposed
to confer upon an inferior race the
dominion over one third of the re-
public and to make it balance of
power that nine times out of ten,
would for that reason, control the
whole country. There can be but
one end to this scheme if it be
much longer prosecuted. 1t is i'm
possible that the race TO which we
DelOng, eau suuuIl ~ 1os.o de-Ai
nation. 1t is imposs: BILE that so in
ferior race as the Negro, can com.
pete with the white man in the bust
ness, much less than in the politics
of this country. The determination
of the Negro or his expulsion from
this country must be the inevitable
result of the Radical policy if per
sisted in. But before that happens
what untold evils may await us,
what anarchy, what confusion,
what impoverishment, what dis
tress, worse than Mexico, worse
than the South American republics,
will be the condition of a large por-
tion of this country if that policy
prevails and here let me caution
you my friends that the question of
Negro suffrage was not settled by
your votes last October.
1t is true that you voted il down
in Ohio, but it is equally true, that
what you refuse to permit here, you
are asked to impose upon others.
1t is equally true, that what you
have solemnly condemned, a Radi-
cal Congress may impose upon you
in spite of your condemnation, i'm
pose upon you an amendment of
the constitution of the Uulted
States, though rejected by Ohio. If
you would guard against political
with the Negro, you must
not be satisfied with sending its op-
ponents to the legislature of your
own state, but you must keep its
advocates out Of the Halls of Con-
gress,"

BLOODY OUTRAGES.
ON NEGROES. HON. n. w. CUNEY OF
TEXAS SPEAK. A WARNING TO
CoLoRED MEN.

The Galveston, Texas, News
among others things reports ex-
tracts from the following speech
of Hon. n. W. Quincy.
cUNEY's SPEECH:
n. w. Cuney was called On to
address the meeting, which he did
in the way of a violent and bitter
arraignment of the democratic
party, laying to their door the
responsibility for the recent occu-
rences in Fort Bend and Washing
ton counties. He preface his
remarks by saying that in his
opinion the republican state con-
vention to assemble at Fort Worth
on the Goth should make no noml-
nations. The democratic press of
course, advocated the making of
nominations by this convention;
but in politics as in everything
else, il is a wise policy not to do
that which your enimies want you
to do. He intimated that com
bination between the republicans
and Farmers alliance of Texas as
against straight democracy would
be strong card to play at the
coming election and this conuec-
ton he referred to what he termed
a similar combination made in
| Arkansas between the democrats
and wheelers, by which the demo-
Gratis though in the minority,
carried the state by 10000 or
5000 votes. lie alluded to the
riots there as growing out of this
combination aud being brought
about by the democrats. This
brought him to similar occurrences
nearer home, aud without referr-
ing to the original cause ofthe re-
cent trouble In Fort Bend, he
found ample food in the sequel to
flaunt the bloody shirt. The
democratic leaders OF Fort Bend
as those in Crittendeu county,
Ark; finding themselves not able
TO carry things their own way by
fair means at the ballot box, had
resorted to mob violence, and by
this means, though Fort Bend
county was largely republican, he
expected it would return large
democratic majority at the coming
election. He lit into Adjutant-
ueneral hlug rur approving tho
action of an organized mob upon
ex-parte representation. White
democrats argue that the negro is
not capable of self government
and are afraid that their influence
should dominate They are will
ing enough, however, to have the
negro rule if they should only vote
their way. He complimented
Sheriff Garvey of Fort Bend for
the stand he took in resisting the
demands of a mob for three ia-
nocent men to be led to sacrifice.
He would like to ask the people
of the south what they proposed
to do with the negro. 1t rested
with the south to answer the
question whether they were
to be treated as citizens or driven
out of the country to subserve
political ends. There are many
good citizens in the south depre-
Gated these outrsges but none had
the courage to raise their voice
against them while the democrat
ic press of the south stand mute.
He spoke Of the Baenham tragedy !
as another instance where politi-
cal supremacy was sought to be
attained by assassination and
bloodshed,::a ,::and yet the News in
speaking of'the affair merely stat
ed that from the facts people we're
at liberty to draw their own con,
clusions as to whether or not |
nol1tios had anythino IN do with |

q WORD
TO THR WORKERS !
THIS Is A CAMPAIGN
OF REASON /!
TIE REpUBLIcANs INSIST ON MAIN
TANNING THE HIGH RATES OF
TARIFF ESTABLISHED DUR
ING THE WAR.
THE DEMOCRATS DO NOT ASK FOR
s'FREE TRADE" BUT FOR A RE-
DUCTION OF TARIFF TAX,
CONSISTENT WITH TIE
INTERESTS OF THE
PEOPLE.

The prohibitory tariflites have
succeeded in maintaining for a long
time the law which has worked
such evil to the wage workers of the
land. The people during the past
few years have heen studying the
tariff question and learning how
unjust and oppressive its provls-
ions have been towards them.
They have found that fcw peo-
rIe have been receiving the benefits
:herefrom, while they, the great
mass of people, have been strug-
CLING in vain for their rights. The
wage workers have found them
selves unprotected. and at the mer-
cy of an oppressive law. They,
have found that they have received
no benefits from its working, but to.
the contrary they have been and
are today bearing the full burden
of heavy taxation. For instance,
for every dollars worth of cotton
thread the woman buys she pays So
per cont. protection; for every dol
lars worth of cotton cloth IS per
cent; for every dollars worth Of
cotton damask or cotton velvet 40
per cent. The wife, when putting
up her fruit, for every dollars
worth of fruit jars pays Sc per cent.
When the children attend school in
order to gain q common education,
writing is one of the essentials and
they are forced to pay for every
dollars worth OF lux, 70 cents for
the ink and 80 cents for protection.
For every dollars worth OF tinware
that goes into the house the good
wife pays So cents for the ware and
IS cents tax. The farmer, The
teamster and every man who owns
a horse is compelled to keep him
shod and when in doing 80 he buys
a dollars worth of shoes he pays
46 cents for shoes and "a cents for
projection. In putting The shoes
on he pays for every dollars worth
of nails, "a conts for the nails and
76 cents for protection, over three
times the cost of tho n ails besides
having them driven by q highly
protected hammer.
As Senator Thurman truthfully
said in his speech. the farmer or
labor,ng man is taxed for every
thing he wears. from the top of his
head to the scles OF his feet. The
wage workers, the farmers and the
mechanics are all asked to continue
an unreasonable and burdensome
tax upon themselves. Down with
such unjust taxation.

LEGENDARY LORE.

TheRepubIican Gazette last week
reproduced from the SENTINEL ol
four years ago some able remarks
of ours at that time, on a question
as changeable as the inconstant
moon.
Our contemporary has our thanks
for its resurrection enterprise. The
matter il reproduces is good read
ing, but is little out of season ;
but the Republican party being
four years behind, it is probably
the proper thing to commence
where it got left anu take the back
track.
The issue now ia this. There are
as many boys ia this country as
there are sheep. The boy wants a
coat. He wants a suit of clothes.
He wants his clothes as cheap as it
Is possible to get them. The sheep
or the man who owns him, has a
feecc which makes clothes. The
sheep, Dr. his owner, wants a high
nrico tor the fleece. As between
the boy who wants q cheap coat,
and the sheep who wants a high
priced fleece, we stand in with the
boy. Reproduce this nov, and
stand IN with tho discussions of the
current issues of the times. Tn
taxed food, untaxed clothes, untax-
ed tools. This is the Sentinel SEN
tlment now. Dispute if you dare.
Let the legends pass to ancient his.
