LOOMING ro 4 CoNlEsT

The Republicans are fighting hard, and the
impression is that these proceedings in the
courts against the registrars and the Electo-
raj Board are with the view of establishing
grounds upon which they may make con-
iest in the courts should the election 90

will. The Democrats were never better or
ganized. more united, or more hopeful than
now. They claim that they will carry the
second. Third, Fourth, and Fifth wards by
such maiorities a. wiA overcome the Repub-
lcsn maiorities in the First and Sixth wards,
and that thus they will not only carry the
Council, but the general ticket

Western appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1885-18??, 1888-04-14

We are pleased to note the election OF
John NJ. Lynch and James Hill as
delegates-at-large, from Mississippi, to
the Republican National Convention.
This is case of even division and will
have good effect. We do not ask for a
division here, we will be satisfied with
one. Republicans have been sending
delegates from Minnesota to the nations
al conventions for quarter of a CEN
fury and have never honored Colored
man by sending him as delegate
large. Colored men have voted the
Republican ticket ali this time Just
same. We don't want to draw the
the color line, as we are all Republicans
and equals we just wish a Colored
Republican accidentally elected in the
same way he has been accidentally
ignored heretofore.

There never has been a paper pub
llshed which has not suffered more or
less from dead-beat subscribers. And
one of the peculiar things in connection
with these d. b. subscribers, is that they
are the ones that find the most fault
with the paper. The rule of the AP-
PEAL is, that subscriptions must be paid
in advance, but, for various reasons, the
rule has been broken, and, now, there
are several subscribers who are in debt
to the paper. It seems that the Wright
Co. (Dak.) Democrat is sufferer from
the same cause, and it gently, but uni
quely gives such subscribers an idea of
the imremtability of the punishment
that awaits them. The fate of our de-
linquent subscribers must be the same,
so, as u warming to such, we publish
what the Dakota paper has to say on
the subject:
IAN editor works 1861 days per year
to get out So issues of a paper: that's
labor. Once in a while somebody pays
him years subscription: that's capital;
and once in while some son Of dead
beat takes the paper for year or two
and then vanishes without paying for
it: that's anarchy: but latter on Justice
will overtake the last-named individual,
for there isa place where he will get
his deserts: that's hi
MoRAL-Pay your subscriptions and
be snatched as brands from the eternal
! burning.

Newspapers in 1888.

From the edition of Geo. P. Rowell &
Cos American Newspaper Directory
published April End its twentieth
year, it appears that the Newspapers
and Periodicals Of all kinds issued in
the United States and Canada, nov
number $3.50, showing gain of s9(
during the last II months and Of I ,13f
in 10 years.
The publishers of the Directory asser,
that the impression that when the pro.
prietor ola newspaper undertakes te
state what has been his exact circula
ton, he does not generally tell the truth
is an erroneous one: and they conspicu
ously offer a reward of 500 for every
instance in their book for this year
where it can be shown that the detailed
report received from a publisher wa,
untrue.

A. M. T.. Church Notes.

The sad news of the death of Mrs
Jacobs, wife of Rev. G. S. Jacobs, was
announced from the pulpit at St. James
Church, and tears trickled down the
cheeks of all, as the pastor in glowing
terms euloeized the memory of the de-
parted saint. A spirit of sadness pre-
vailed the worship during the whole
day, for Sister Jacobs was loved by all
The morning sermon was from the
theme, "Some Limitations to Self-Will."
The gist being, Man becomes a good
citizen and attains to his highest devel-
opment as a man, by learning to submit
to rules, law and leadership. The choir
throughout the day rendered excellent
music. The deep bass voice of Prof.
yucca still retains the melodious charm
which made him a favorit in earlier
days. The Sabbath school was we'll at
tended, and very interesting. In re-
viewing the lesson, the pastor referred
to 'sBen Hur, or A Tale of the Christ"
and found several ofthe pupils who had
read it, showing the pleasing fact that
our young people are of a decided liter
airy turn, The evening services were
interesting and largely attended. Dox-
ology was sung exactly at 9:20 O'Clock.
Hereafter no Sunday service will con-
tinue, at any time longer than one
hour
The trustees have put on foot move
ment to raise 81 800, 500 of which will
be needed by May 18th to meet ex-
penses. A sewer is soon to be put in,
gas, soddlng etc. About one hundred
books were given out with the request
that the holders turn in 80 apiece. All
the members present who were so sit
uated as to do so, took books and have
gone to work with the prayful earnest
ness which has always made everything
undertaken by this church success.
The pastor plainly stated that it was
not the desire to insist upon any one to
solicit for the church who could not do
SO with the full approval of their
friends, and those who could not con
sistantly ask the public to aid them
were request to collect $40 from i'm
mediate friends. That the amount
will be raised is among the things most
probable.
st. James Church has already proved
a great blessing to the community and
under God will continue to let her
light shine brighter and brighter. The
class leaders have charge of the books
put out, which class will excel is now
the question.

From carefully made observations ", q

t. . Z
From carefully made observations we
reach the conclusion that the nomination
of }. K Hilyard will draw more strength
to the Republican ticket than any man
on it. He is perhaps the one man of
the Colored people upon whom all will
unite even those who have heretofore
worked with the Democrats. Tney
know his success means something for
them, as all of the race rise or fall with
the prominent members. If Hiiyard
does not run ahead Of his ticket, blame
God for'nlaking him Colored, as that is
FRe only reason any one can have for

Republican City Convention.


The convention met at Turner Hall
last Monday, and when called to order
by S. H. Nichols, chairman of the city
committee.the floor of the hall was filled
with eager republicans while the gallery
contained goodly number Of lockers
on. f. b. Mcdonald was nominated
for temporary chairman, D. F. Reese,
secretary and W. III. McMartin, assist
tant secretary. On motion committee
on credentials composed of one mem-
Der from each ward was appointed which
reported the list of delegates voted for
last Saturday, as entitled to seats in the
convention, excepting 2. P. Hilton,
who was thought to not be republican.
Mr.. Hilton arose in his seat and de-
clared that he was a republican and had
voted for Hayes, Garfield and Blaine.
The explanation Of Mr.. Hilton being
satisfactory he was allowed to retain his
seat, and the report of the committee
adopted. After the usual skirmishing
bushwhacking and wirepulling the
temporary organization was made per-
manent and the work of the convention
proceeded with very little friction. The
result of the work was the nomination
ofthe following ticket:
For Mayor H. MURPHY
For Comptroller JOHN w. ROCHE
For Treasurer PETER THAUWALD

The nomination of Mr.. J. X. Hilyard
as one of the aldermen-at-l large for the
city of S. Paul meets with the hearty
approval of the class of citizens with
which he is identified, and with more
than ordinary favor from other classes.
No matter how much we are opposed to
class of citizens or party, there is
much satisfaction in seeing the best
men in such classes or parties put to
the fore. Mr.. Hilyard is one of the
Oldest settlers in the city, coming here
when the metropolis was but village,
he has lived to see it what it now is,
and, during all that time, has retained
the respect of all classes of citizens.
The action of the Republicans in NOM
mating Mr.. Hilyard will have a
wonderful effect on the Colored voters
and stimulate them to their best efforts
to elect the ticket; at the same it shows
that there is a disposition to give us
some recognition in the distribution of
political fayors. We are too distinct
class to be overlooked by accident and
when sighted we know it is by design.
The Democrats notice the outrageous
manner in which we are generally over
looked by the Republicans and make
considerable capital ont Of it, and we
are very glad on this occasion that they
saved themselves. We are Republicans
and while we feel that our brother Rep
ublicans shamelessIy ignored us in the
distribution Of the loaves and fishes, we
are not inclined to 60 out of the party to
get redress if we can get it on the in
side. There has been no more faith
full class than the Colored voters identi-
fed with the Republican party, yet no
class has received less consideration at
their hands. Though the sColored
troops fought nobly" during the last
state and county campaigns, there is
but one Colored man, to our knowledge.
Mr.. F. d, Parker, who has political
position. Does anyone supposs that we
cannot see how we are studiously over
looked? Does anyone believe that one
poor insignificant second class clerk
ship, is fair return for the featly of the
Colored votes? The Colored people are
tired of seeing everything handed out
to other classes and nothing offered to
them, and this nomination of Mr.. Hill
yard, will be received as straw which
shows which way the wind blows. If
does not require very much to satisfy us
but we want that little. We believe we
voice the sentiments of all the Colored
voters IN saying we hope Mr.. Hilyard
Will be elected. We will do all in orr
power to elect the whole ticket, but we
will elect Mr., Hilyard sure if our votes
can do it,
