INDIGNANT.

Colored People Aroused by the At
tempt to Compel Them to Organize Sep
arate Clubs.
WHEELING, ". VA, February 7, 1888,
To the EdaOr of the Register:
SIR:-The card of DR.. Stillyard in your
issue of yesterday is a very proper one.
The colored vote is very important factor
in the Republican party. Without it they
would not have the ghost Of q show"
Then why, in the name of sense, should
they ask the colored brother to 90 to the
expense and trouble of organizing separate
clubs? Why not receive him into full
communion? The fact is the white. Re-
publicans wish to use the colOred man, as
they havedone thess many years, to pull the
chestnuts out of the fire, and give him none
of the meat. 1t is q surprising fact that
the colored man does not see the
true policy Of the Republican party.
1t is false to them in all things, even the
claim that they gave their freedom i~sfalse,
as all intelligent men know. As late as
1862, after the wal was half fought, Mr..
Lincoln issued a proclamation to tie Con
federates Offering to secure them in all
their rights, including slavery, if they
would lay down their arms and return to
the Union, and from the election in 1860
up to the time when the emancipation
proclamation was issued they asserted time
after time that the war was not
waged for the abolition of slavery, but
for the Union. As it was the men
who abolished slavery we're the brave men
r
Republicans alike. 1t is time the cOloTed
men should know that they do not owe
their freedom to Republican politicians.
History proves the foregoing selfish pur-
pose, and there is no reason TO believe the
policy OF the party will be changed in the
future. When the colored man asserts his
freedom by voting TO suit himself, and not
in herds like sheep, then, aud not till then,
will the Republican politicians give him a
share Of the honors aud emoluments. J.

information from Mr.. James II. Fulton, oil

former valued at twenty dollars and the
latter at five dollars. Fulton said the fell
low had expressed a valise from Portland q
a couple of days ago, and upon inquiry al
the Adams express Office it was asceralned
that a valise had been received from Port
land, and had been del vered at residence
on Sixteenth street, by o mistake arising
through similarity of names. The clerk u
the Office added, however, that there must
be another valise coming. as the porter Oh
the st. Charles Hotel had been mp to see
about one consigned to George Robinson.
That was q good enough pointer for the
officers and proceeding to the hotel named
Robinson was soon in custody. lie was

A Talk With MIR. Clements.

General Manager of the B. & o., Capt.
VIM. Clements, arrived in the city yester-
day, in his private car, the West Vir-
ginia," accompanied by Capt. J. T..
Legge and Mr.. F. NJ. H~ildebrandt. A
REGIsrER reporter called upon the genial
Captain in his car yesterday, and asked
him il there was anything new in railroad
circles
Nothing. "said he, Except our meet
ing for organization this afternoon"
"Are the new shops coming any ways
soon?"
well l have nothing of especial inter
est concerning them to tell you at present,
although l can say that W. would prefer to
locate the shops on Wheeling land if we
can get the use of Wetzel street, which
will never be used by anyone else. This
would be far better for us and the city,
too, than to have the shop located in Mar
shall county, and give Wheeling nothing
but the switching yard. 1t is probable,
however, that nothing will be done until
spring"

A Conference Last Evening.

Last evening a conference was held at
the Mcclure House parlors between officers
of the Baltimore & Ohio road and the
Wheeling & Harrisburg Railway Com
pany. Those present were Capt. Glenn
ents, Capt. Legge, Capt. r I. Deyrles,
Engineer Irwin on the part Of the b. 60,
and Judge Cochran and Mr.. Gustav Lin
deuthal on the part of the w. & II. Capt.
John Mcclure and several other citizens
were also present.
The conference was in reference to the
proposed lines out the south and east side
of Wheeling creek, and as to whether some
amicsble arrangement could not be arrived
at whereby both companies could lay
their tracks or use the same tracks mutu-
ally. The matter was discussed freely and
amicably and the prospects, it Ia under
stood, arc fairly bright for the companies
arriving at a satisfactory understanding,
a. it is found that such a course is to the
best interest of both companies as well as
the public generally.
A Union passenger station project was
also discussed to take in all roads entering
the city, on a basis that would be entirely
satisfactory to the city and protect the
public's interests. This met with favor
able consideration from all parties con-
cerned, and there seems to be no reason in
the world why it cannot be carried out
successfully. If all the propositions dis
cussed at the conference last evening, were
carried into effect, it would change the
whole railroad system of Wheeling and
place her in a position as a railroad centre,
that could not be excelled by any city Of
her size in the country, and it is sincerely
hoped that the ultimate result will he fav-
orable.
The conference adjourned last evening
with the expectation Of having another in
the not distant future when something
definite may be decided upon.

An Answer to n Query.

A correspondent, writing in reference to
the tradition about an offer to remove
Wheeling Hill, ''for what there was in it,, "
makes the following explanation:
"While James A. Wharton was editor OF
the Wheeling Times, there was a disposi-
ton manifested to procure the removal OF
the hill by some means, and one day he
registered the name of a mythical person
at the Sprigg House, To- the st. James,
and then wrote up a long interview with
the party so created, in which the stranger
offered to move the hill, dump it back in
the valley of the creek, and cut a passage
way tor the creek through the hill in the
n~eighborhood of Mt. Wood, all for the
stone, coal, etc, aud a small money con-
sideration. | think there was never a bona
tide proposition made"

Loder as the ''sisage maker" was immense.
Miss Beatrice Goldie and the Archmere

ing but to make people laugh, and time is

ton OF district colored clubs, | would

they do not put the sincerity Of the mem
bers of the Lincoln Club to a test by apply
ing for membership in that club. Hoping
my inquiry will not be thought too i'm
pertinent, l remain respectfully, Fl.
