The Negro Vote Not Wanted.

The Giles County Democrat, the
organ Of Democracy in that part Of
Tennessee, rises in the midst of the
canvass and says some emphatic and
lively things about the Negro vote
speaks out ia meeting, as it were.
Hear.
While the negro has perfect
right to vote for whom he pleases,
yet we condemn the practice Of Dem
ocratic car rdidates seeking his vote.
Let them make the race independent
of the negro vote-stand or fall IN
their own ranks. The negro is edu-
cat d, fed and clothed by white Dem
ocrats, and it is to his interest, as
we as his duty to vote the Demo
cratic ticket, but if he persists invot-
ing the Republican ticket, let him
vote it and go to the devil or some
other seaport.
1t is degrading to any Democrat to
seek the negro vote on any plea.
There is not the least danger of de-
feat to any Democ rite candidate now
in the field, and, as stated before, let
them make the fight solely within
the Democratic party. So far as we
concerned, if we were candidate we
would not ask a negro to vote for US.
We would win or fail within the
r nks of our own organization. The
az erage negro is no moe capable Of
exercising the right Of suffrage tian
a mule"
The Democrat, organ Of "Pure
Democracy is behind its party bre
thren in this loca ity and throughout
the country generally. 1t is generally
conceded that the Negro feeds ann
clothes himself by his own labor. and
adds his share toward the develop
ment Of the industries of the county.
If his vote is sought it must be sought
like the favor Of the suffrages of all
other free men, through argument,
| d;SoucSiop ond raocop
1t is the existence Of such forces
within the Democratic party as il
represented by this organ Of "Pure
Democracy" which accounts for the
persistency Of the Negro ''in voting
the Republican ticket" whether she
goes to the devil or some other sea
port"
This organ Of "Pure Democracy
asserts conclusively, to itself. 9TH,
average Negro is no more capable
Of exercising the right of suffrage
than a mule" Now then why doe
not this organ Of Pure Democracy
seek to elevate the Negro from sucl
low depths as in its opinion he unfor
tunately lies. Why use place adj
|pow er to keep him there or sink hin
lower? There's the rub.

Every stage Of this meeting Of the
Democrats chieftains Of the race has
been marked by dissensions and dis
agreements. The couse to elect
tempory chairman was a stormy af-
fair, but it sinks into insignifican
when compared with the cyclone
which swept away every vestage of
decency and order when the report
Of the committee Of organization was
announced.
The election of Chas H. Shelton. of
Evansville, Ind, as temporary chair
man, was victory for the anti Tur-
ner demios, who were in favor Of con-
terring such honor as might accrue
from the leadership Of such a man
is Peter H. Clark
The morning session was taken up
by speeches from Shelton and Tur-
ner, who evidently thought the posi-
ton Of an Afro American in Demo
cratic ranks needed explanation, and
feebly endeavored to tell why they
were there; an unanimous endorse
ment of Cleve and and Thurman and
the announcement Of the committee
on permanent organization.
But it was in the afternoon when
these doughty statesmen distinguish
ed themselves. The committee on
, permanent organization presented a
majority report favoring the election
Of Peter II. Clark for permanent
chairman, I. Thomas Fortune, sec
retary, and f. HI. Payne, Of Illinois,
sergeantat-arms. The minority re-
port presented the name of j. Mil
ton Turner as permanent chairman,
, and then the fuss began.
It it be true that "whom the gods
would destroy they first MAKE mad, :"
destruction is the portion Of the
entire Afro American Democratic
contingent, for they were all mad.

INDUCED in truthful though uncom

delegates discoursed e'oquently on
the situation, and the secretary was
finally ordered to call the roll by

minority for the majority report
This was done amid great confusion,
and it was six o'clock when Plummer,
the secretary, who was partisan Of
Turner, announced a tie vote-32
for Clark and 80 for Turner-and
once more the battle ragged. The air
was rife with such dainty eplthets
as ''thief," "liar,' fraud etc;
blows were passed, pistols drawn,
policemen called and the audience

The facts.and statistics presented are
ncne the less instructive for being

interested in Mr.. Warmers study
those in the East because it will

Mr.. Warmers article is not free from
criticism: but fair, generous, intelli.

CYCLONE SWEPT.
An Illinois Town Laid in Ruins.
Hundreds Of Stores and Dwellings Torn
to Pieces.
Fire Adds Fresh Horror to the Havoc
Of the Storm.

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. ia Tines
Mount Vernon, ILL.,, special says:
At about S o'clock this afternoon
cyclone struck this town and left it
in ruins, killed fifteen to twenty
people, and it is feared many more
than are now known to have been
killed will be found among the ruins
of the buildings. Fire Immediately
broke out all over the city amid the
ruins, spreading rapidly, owing to
tho damage done to the engines by
the wind.
The storm passed from the south
west and had rotary motion. It
swept down with fearful fury, strik-
ing first just south of the city hall.
It carried away the third and fourth
stories of the Mt. Vernon mill. From
there it swept on in a path 500
yards wide.
The Methodist church fell just
few minutes after $50 people had
left the Sunday school room. The
Commercial hotel lost it's third sto-
ry.
Next the wind struck the county
court house and rendered it heap
of ruins. By rare luck, however,
the county records were saved.
Crews block, on the south side OF
the square, was leveled with the
earth, and under it was found the
body of John Crews, the owner,
formerly Of Chicago. The roof and
second story of r. L. Stratton 4
Co.'S hardware store were blown
away.
THE LOSS HALF AMILLIoN.
| The large two-story brick schoo
house did not withstand the terrible
shock any better than the smallest
house in the track of the cyclone
The large two story frame house O
George Ward was picked up ant
carried about twenty feet and lef
unhurt, while two brick building
100 feetaway were left in ruins. Th
loss cannot be estimated, but moi
less than half million dollars worth
of property has been destroyed b
the cyclone and fire in that neigh
borhood.
The sky has cleared and no cloud

storm of a few hours ago. It j

Reports are coming in from th
