THE TWO CANDIDATES.
"A Suggestive Extract from Governor Fc

q Suggestive Extract from Governor For
aker's Richn9snd (Ind.) Speech.
Let me say to all who want to know
who Harrison is: Think of the Repub-
lican party. Think of its patriotism,
s is heroism, its sacrifices; think of its
humanity, its morality and its match
less craftsmanship. Think of its great
leaders of Lincoln, Seward, Chase,
Sumner, Morton, Thaddeus Stevens,
Grant, Garfield and Blaine. Recall
their exalted characters, their learn
ing, their culture and refinement, their
great powers Of intellect, their love of
liberty and their zeal for human
equality. Remember what they and
their party have done to preserve Ma
tional unity, maintain inviolate our
National honor, and to promote human
welfare. Fill your mind with this
splendid chapter Of our history, and
then conceive of a man who has been
one of the prominent controlling
factors and chief inspirations in it all,
and you have Benjamin Harrison.
Such man needs no other or further
eulogy; for when you say of him that
he is typical of all the broad humanity,
noble generosity, devoted Christianity,
unainching patriotism, soldierly hero
ism, and unexampled magnanimity
that the Republican party has dis
played, you have accorded him the
highest virtues he can possibly possess.
All this can be said of Benjamin Har-
rison truthfully and without exaggera-

A VIVID CONTRAST,
Judge Thurman's and Prince Bismarck's
ga.' Remarks on Protection.

1boA1dIhS Oh IEOIeCClOH.
Judge Thurman is now very old
man, and so is Prince Bismarck. The
Inter Ocean will reproduce a passage
from a recent speech of each of these
old men. Says the Judge:
No, my friends, of all the humbugs by which
men We're attempted to be deceived. this hum
bug OF the laborng man being benefited by q
n gh protective tariff is the greatest I ever
heard OF. All, but says some one, it enables
the manufacturer in this country to pay higher
wages to his laboring men, and therefore is a
benefit to them. My friends, did you ever
know any manufacturer that paid higher wages
to his hands because OF an tncrease of the tar
III! II You did you have met with something
have never seen. There is a man named Bar
mum in this country, great Snowman, q mar
who has gathered together in his show more
curiosities than perhaps can be found in any
other single place on the face of the earth put
among all his curiosities he has never found
such a curiosity as the manufacturer who paid
higher wages to his hands because OF raise in
the tariff
It is submitted, in all courtesy, that
this passage is in a vein of senility
or buffoonery. Let us hear Prince
Bismarck speak:
THE success of the United States in mate.
rial development is the most iIlustrlous OF
modern time. The American Nation has not
only successfully borne and suppressed the
most gigantic and expensive war of all history
but Immediately after d:sbanded Its army,
found work for all its soldiers and marines,
paid of most of its debt, given labor and homes
to all the unemployed OF Europe as fast as
they could arrive within the territory and still
by system Of taxation so indirect as not to be
perceived, much less felt. Because it is nv
deliberate Judgment that the prosperity of
Americas mainly due to its system of protect
i've laws, urge that Germany has now reached
that point where it is necessary to initiate the
tariff system Of the United States.''
Mark how the German statesman
appeals to the fact, to history teach
ing by experience and how the
American who lays claim to states
manship appeals, as an Anarchist
might, to the instincts of mob.
But Judge Thurman was not speaking
to a mob; he was speaking directly to
gathering of thoughtful citizens of
Ohio, and indirectly to the people Of
the United States. It is more charita
BILE to suppose that he was ignorant of
his subject than that he INDUCED in
malicious or senile demagogy. Cbica-

LAST Friday Hon. John M. Laneston
candidate for Congress from the Fourth
District of Virginia spoke to a crowd
numbering over 1000 at Farmville. Of
course he made a speech such as few
in this country can make as he stands
away at the top as an orator. Among
other things he said "a colored man
not only has the right to to 60 Congress
but to be president of the United States

A Fishing Party.

Last Saturday morning a party con-
sisting OF seventeen persons met at the
Sault Ste Marie road loaded down with
fishing tackle and lunch baskets. The
train backed in and several of the ladies
got on board without any tickets but had
the lunch baskets. The gentlemen of
the party were in the office endeaYoring
to procure tickets, but the agent was so
slow that the conductor of the train
yelled, call aboard" and the engineer
pulled out leaving ten of the party be-
hind. When the conductor came along
to collect the fares there were only 26
cents to be found among the ladies, but
the good-natured conductor and a gem
erous passenger, who, by the way, is a
prospective candidate for sheriff, said
they would see the ladies' through, SO
they rested contentedly determining to
make the best Of the occasion. When
the train pulled out the tel who we're
left behind began to lay plans to over
take the ladies. They found the conduc.
tor OF a freight train who was to leave
over the same road 4 few moments later.
and, who would make an effort to over
take the passenger train. The party
thereupon boarded the caboose and
started out really seeming to enjoy the
little mishap. The passenger train was
overhaulled at Little Canada, station
about five miles out, when Mr.. James
Thomas jumped off and ran ahead to the
passenger train. The ladies were very
much surprised to see him; he was puff
ing and blowing from his little run from
one train to the other, and his wife in
nocently remarked, why, Jimmy, how
on earth did you get here? You must
have run all the wayp' This, of course,
brought down the house, or rather, the
car, and put all in good humor at once.
The rest of the party were transferred to
the passenger train and went on to Vad-
mas Park without further mishap There
they found three wagons waiting which
they scram bled into, and, after pleas
ant ride OF two and a half niles landed
at Snail Lake. Poles. lines and bait were
soon in readiness and entering the boats
the seduction of the fnny tribes from
their watery habitation began in earn
est. About one o'clock all returned to
the shore and partook of the contents OF
the lunch baskets which were found tc
contain dinner fit to set before king
Dinner being over fishing was resumed
until about four O'Clock, when all re.
turned to the shore, having caught .
bount;ful supply Of delicious fish. The
wagons were again loaded, the station
reached, the train boarded, and at sever
O'Clock all landed safely in St. Paul, after
having spent most enjoyable day
The party comprised the following: Mr.
and Mrs. J. G. Berry. Mr.. and Mrs. j
A. Thomas, Mr.. and Mrs. j, K. Hilyard
Mrs. Carrie Webb, Mrs. Jas. Banister

was in the city Tuesday, the guest OF
Mrs. Emma Glover. Mrs Payne, since
she has been able to do anything, has
been emp Dyed by q family in Still
water. She reports that she has been
approached by parties working in the
interest of the brute Merkle, who are
endeavoring to get her to compromise
the case. The arguments used are, that
Merkle will not be convicted under any
circumstances, and that she can get sew
eral hundreds of dollars to let the case
drop. Itcan thus be seen that strong
effort will be made to save this self-ac-
cused criminal from his just punishment
because he is white and his victim Col
ored. Ofcourse Mrs. Payne refused the
overtures made to her, and means to
give the law a chance to settle the case
for her. These emissaries of the big.
hurley, brute, with consummate cum
ming employed Colored man to make
their propositions to her. But we feel
sure the man employed did not think of
what he was doing, or he would not have
lent himself to so nefarious a scheme:
as we do not believe any right-thinking
Colored man who has particle Of race
pride, who is cognizant of the facts,
would so stultify his manhood as to com
pound such a felony and become parti-
ceps criminus to such an outrage. Since
her terrible experience Mrs. Payne has
received several letters from the people
she used to live with IN Texas, offering
her any assistance necessary to prose-
cute the case. One of these letters is
signed by ten persons and are all from
wealthy, influential white citizens who
testify to her general good character and
moral worth. It would be an indelible

IN. That's the kind of "bigot''

ton. That's the kind of "bigot"
he is
But what kind of bigot is Grover
Cleveland? Paint his party and you
have him too He is Democrat; was
born Democrat; will die a Democrat
He was Democrat when Democ-
racy meant human slavery. He
was a Democrat when Democ-
racy meant, in the language Of Judge
fancy, ''that a black man had no
rights which a white man was bound to
respect He was a Democrat when
Democracy meant the slave pen, the
whipping post and the auction blocks.
He is Democrat who is without any
part whatever in any of the glorious
achievements of his day and generation.
The Union was saved without him.
Our armies were raised without him.
Our battles were fought without him.
Slavery was abolished without him.
Secession was shot to death without
him. Suffrage was made universal
without him. The grand systems of
finances that have made our country
the wonder and admiration of the
world were all conceived and executed
without him. Recall if you can the
worst days and the lowest depths and
most infamous practices of Democracy,
and then paint you a man who has
lived through it all, been part of it all,
and in sympathy with it all, and you
have Grover Cleveland as he entered
upon his Administration. From then
until now he has been himself the
Democratic party. He has ruled it
with rod of iron. He has led it
WHITTIER he would. He has not al
lowed it to have any will inconsistent
with his own.
Cleveland has done more to stir up
spirit of sectionalism than any other
man who has figured in the politics of
this country since Appomattox. Every
body had settled down to the con-
clusiOn that the Union side had
triumphed and that the war was settled
according to the terms prescribed in
the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fiji
teenth amendments, and that these
provisions must be in good faith, ac-
cepted and upheld. But how stands
the case to-day. Let me answer by
reading you few extracts from re-
cent utterances of representative
Southern men. They show clearly
that the mind OF that people has been
turned back to where it was during
the war with respect to the right of
the doctrine of secession, and that we
are to have another spell of the
Haunting of that heresy in our
faces. But consider further how
there is no longer denial or
apology for multiplying and trampling
under foot the constitutional amend
ments comforting suffrage on black
men. For years, ever since 1875, this
work has been going on, but not until
Cleveland's Administration has there
been an open avowal and attem pied
justification of it.
In the language Of Senator Voorhees,,
letus hope and pray that God Almighty
may avert such a ealmity to this land
as the reelection Of Grover Cleveland.

BENEFITS OF PROTECTION.

Official Figures Which Ought to Open
the Eyes of Doubling Farmers.
1t is often asserted by revenue re-
formers" that the farmers are taxed
by protective tariff for the sole ben
eft of the manufacturers, while they
themselves have no protection at all.
The assertion is false. The farmer as
well as the factory operative and the
miner is a beneficiary of the protective
system. This false statement about
the farmer has been so often made by
the protectionists that it is time to
counteract it with facts. Let us see in
what respects the farmer is protected.
His stock is protected by a duty of
twenty per cent. His barley is pro-
tected by duty of ten cents bushel,

THE Republican State convention has
met and accomplished its work in man
ner that must be satisfactory to all good
Republicans throughout the state. The
st1 ongest and most acceptable candidate
for governor, Hon. William r. Merriam,
was selected as the standard bearer to
lead us on to certain victory. The race
however, will not be walk-over, and it
is imperative that each man shall do his
whole duty. The Colored voters Of the
state have good reason to continue
their answering fidelity to the party in
view Of the fact that the following reso-
luton was passed with the other excel
lent resolutions by the convention:
s'That while the democrats ofthe South
have, by reason of the disfranchisem
of the blacks, under the constitution of
the United States, the benefit of an I'M
just and unequal representation, we are
assured by appeals from various South
ern states Lnat IN many places a Tree vote
and fair count is there unknown, and
that outrages and oppression, both phys
zeal and political, are common, and while
condemning all such acts as subversive
of free government and an outrage upon
the rights of these unofending citizens.
we extend to them in common, with all
others of the oppressed, wheresoever
they may be, a cordial welcome to the
free soil, free air and freedom from out
rage, which are the common property of
all citizens of Our state.
The insertion of this resolution, which is
step, far in advance of anything ever
before made by a Northern Republican
convention is due to the fact that a del
egation of Colored citizens, as follows

One of the chief drawbacks to the
prosperity of the Colored people is
their general disregard of puntuality.
The idea that they shonld always en-
deavor to be on time at church, meet
ings, social entertainments etc.. etc.,
seems never to have found lo.igment
in the minds of very large majority.
This is not as it should be. This charac.
teristic is nowhere more noticible than
at the churches. Last Sunday evening
The APPEAL attended divine service at
st. James church. There was an audience
present numbering something over
one hundred, but of that number 81
came in after services had begun but
before the minister read his text; SO
came in after the reading of the text
and several of the latter number came
after nine o'clock. Again we say
this is not as it should be. The Colored
people of st. Paul have made wonder
full improvement in their church services
within the last two years; no city in the
country containing SO few Colored in
habitants, can boast of nicer churches
and better looking, larger or more
liberal congregations than this city, yet,
the old idea of not getting to church be
fore services begin prevails here as
strongly as elsewhere. During the days
of slavery, when the Colored people of
the South were slaves and servants.
subject to the will of their white broth
ers, who inhun,anly oppressed and de-
based them, there was some excuse
or this lateness, but we are no longer
in the South, slaves and servants, but
in the free Northwest, with an equal
chance in the race of life with that of
our white brothers and sisters: let us
show by our actions that we appreciate
the change and endeavor t. equal them
in their virtues as successfully as we do
in their vices.
