appeals of the Irish for home rule
while thousands of colored people
are suffering in this country and
demanding equality before the law.
Let Ireland and home rule stop in
the parliament of Great Britain and
let Americans turn their attention
to the appeals of those in the South.
Every measure looking towards the
emancipation of the oppressed col.
ored man has been opposed by Mr..
Blaine and yet he would have every
one to vote for his nomination in
the next convention. The people
would rather have Cleveland and
his Free Trade, than Blaine and
the Pope Of Rome. While we love
the principles of the republican
party, we have no sympathy for
the man who lead us in 81, to des-
truction. Sherman is the peoples
first choice, Gresham second and
Harrison third. But by all means
let us nominate Sherman and save

Whether Mr.. Blaine expects the
nomination or not, he will not be
nominated, and the question has
been put to us, that we are in error
in opposing his nomination that
if nominated he will be elected :;
that we can't hope to get an office,
&c. &c. To these questions, we
would say that we want no Office
under Mr.. Blaine, we are looking
for no office and if nominated the
Irish, Dutch, German and the like
will monopolize the federal patron
age and those, whoever they NAV
DO, who opposed Mr.. Blaines NOM
ination can hope for nothing.
The cOlOred voters hope for moth.
ing and expect nothing under Mr..
Blaine and the best evidence of
that was demonstrated under the
Garfield administration. Mr.. Blaine
would first consult
THE POPE OF ROME
before he made any American ap-
polntments, and our advice to the
American people is beware of the
Pope of Rome. What is the
CONDITION
of our country to day? 1t is on the
eve ola great political revolution
and the final crisis will come if
James G.. Blaine is nominated on
the republican ticket as the can
didate OF that party. No negro
with any respect for those who suf-
fered under the Blaine REGIME, can
support the nomination of this
presidential aspirant. Indeed, no
republic is threatened with imme-
diate obstruction more than Amer
lea; no government is so badly con-
Quoted as this; and no people are
more ill treated than the negroes
of the South. What then are our
hopes? What must we do? Cries
come daily from the oppressed col.

throughout the country, appealing
to the government for protection.

2nd-They say, the decision
of the supreme court virtually
denies all rights to citizenship to

present administration, we are as
secure in our rights as under any
former administration, &c. The
republicans continue to wave toe

beast who had outraged her per-
sonf that Hon. Robert Smalls was

the negroes were held in physical
slavery and after the war In
political slavery.

worse, physical or political slav-

AN OPEN LETTER TO MR.. J.
II. LAYTON.
Dear John:-

In reply to a COM
munication bearing date of May
IL, 1888, to which your name was
signed. 1 have to say that almost
at the very beginning, you show
the weakness fyour case by using
nearly two columns of the bee"
to reply to my "school boy compo-
sitiou." In my article published
10 the BEE May 18th, [ stated that
you had been asked to sing and
refused because the beneiciaries
had not assisted you; that your
refusal looked to me like desire
to "get even" and that "retaliatlon'
and not CONSISTENCY" was the
proper word to use. Now John,
in your communication Il beg
pardnn) the communication to
which your name was signed, you
admit that You did refuse when
you were asked to sing, that you
refused for the reasons stated by
me. By these admissions it is al
3 90 plain thst ooy oyoa oaarsaeffnsa2sh afksPaa2Hhla4tffee the
difference between consistency and
retaliation. But for the fact that
you persist in honoring me with
the authorship of the editorial
commenting upon my letter there
would be nothing for me to reply
| to.
The Eiitor of the BEE told you
that be wrote the article AID as.
sumed all responsibility for its
publication. [ told your "man
Friday" whom doubtless you sent
to me, that [ did not write If, but
you pretend not to believe either
of US, thinking perhaps it is safer
to write me a "stinging reply"
than it would be the E'litor of
the BEE. 1t is therefore your
criticisms of this editorial in
which you vaiuly attempt to knock
out the man Of straw you have
set up that [ must "feebly attack" in
order that you may "smile" while
reading it. Now my dear John,
in speaking of my services to your
concert you have either said too
much or too little. Your memory
seems to have been "all at sea"
when giving information on this
subject. How have you managed |
to forget SO many things during a
single year? Allow me to refresh |
your memory by calling your
attention to few facts you seem
to have entirely lost sight of

to you that [ could not do much

Why we Support Eagle Over Nor
 wood.

We have already given plain enough reason and exposition in re- gard to this matter, but since the State Central Committee of our par tv has taken formal action and not only refused to bring out a Republi- can State ticket but resolved to support the Union-Labor ticket-that is. Norwood over Eagls-we deem it not out of the way. if indeed not demanded, that we should say some thing more pointed and emphatic on the subject.
 In the first place, and which is enough for all we know nothing in politicS-which with Us is but anoth- CT name or term for the Science G Government in this country-we know nothing and have no other thought nor feeling than the purpose of common good to our common country that is to say. a purpose of Statesmanship and not mere political trickerv.
 This is the paramount reason why in the pending contest in this State we support Eagle over Norwood. and to our mind should he reason enough to any man who is patriot rather than factional partisan, and who has at heart the permanent prosperi ty and responsibility of the State rather than the momentary acquisi- sitiOn of office.
 Of course the theme could he clah- oratcd and reason upon reason piled up in tangible and unanswcrahle shape but we desire to wound no ones feelings personally. nor t0 even seem to court strife and contention with our own party, and will not do so unless disposition is manifested to prescribe us becanSc of this free action in doing what we deem right to oursclt and just and safe to our native State and common country in which ease we shall ask no boot and grant none; reminding our par ty friends. what they and the Dem ocrats all well know, that with any thing like a respectable State ticket of our own party in the field we would lead the way in it's support, as we shall lead the way in the support of the Republican National ticket. whether our State Committee has the nerve to place in the field an Electo- ral ticket or not which seems doubt ful, not having yet displayed the life and spirit to even suggest apublic q Ratification of the Presidential nomi- nations-being perhaps willing to surrender all to political side-show, known as the Union Labor party or Labor-Cnion party; concerning which so-called party, in a very deli cate but none the less important con nection, the Chicago Inter Ocean,

 In the neighborhood of the Ar cher avenue bridge live only few of the old-time anarchists. In the large Bohemian and German districts of the immediate vicinity live many members of the Central Labor-Un- ion and other socialistic organiza- tions."
 And of such order of "party' ticket is that which the Republican masses of this State are asked and almost commanded to support, in preference to the straight Democrat ic ticket. For one, we will not do it. nor do we believe one in the hun dred will if rightly understeod.- When two evils are placed before us, we claim the right to choose the less CT one the one which has at least the claim to respectable and tangible responsibility to the country.
 But we promised not to elaborate nor specify too closely here and now, but can do so amply as occasion may offer or the truth of history de- mand.
 We simply say that we are no an- archst that neither the Republican nor Democratic party teaches or tol- crates anarchv-and we will not sup port nor in any way uphold any par tv or faction that has tendency in such direction, and which puts to the front an aspirant for high posi- tion who openly proclaims that under either Republican or Democratic rule the country may be brought to \ 1 condition of dcmOriiZation where l American citizens will be compelled to barter the chastity of their wives and daughters for bread and meat
