to a single instancein West Virginia where
a Democratic Convention has recognized IN
any manner the eOlored citizenss Where
in the history of the Wheeling Democracy,
is there an instance of q Democratic club
or convention opening its doors and m7it-
ing the colored man to a participation IN
its deliberations"
Bless your heart, neiShbor, the Demo
cratic party has, for the past twenty odd
wears, been so used TO looking upon the
colored voter as a chattel of the Republican
party that it regarded any interference as
an infringement upon the rights OF private
ownership and a species Of larceny against
the Republican party.
But now the colored citizen is getting
his eyes opened. He has awakened after
his Rip Van Wrinkle sleep of twenty years
and finds that he is no better of now than
then IS regards a share in the government;
that while his vote has kept the Republi-
can party in power he has never been rec
oenized or rewarded or offered q share in
its feasts.
How different has been the colored mans
treatment at the hands Of the Democratic
party the first time its gets to power in
twenty.three years. While owing COM
paratively nothing to the colOred vote,
President CLEVELAND has yet appointed
more colored citizens to Office than any
Republican President.
The eolored man does not need an invi-
tation to come into the Democratic party.
That party is the party of the people. 1t
invites no class of the people to enter,
because it recognizes no class in this u
try, aud it invites all; and every man, no
matter what his color or condition, is just
as good in the eyes of the Democratic
party as his neighbor, and receives equal
consideration.
The old cry of a return to slavery etc,
with which the Republican politicians
have kept the majority OF the colored vote
from being cast for the Democratic ticket,
can be used no longer. The eolOred man
hnds that he is far better treated by a
Democratic administration than ne ever
was by his so called friends, the Repub-
licGus.
The colored voter, as may be plainly seen
from the recent public utterances of color
ed organizations, has finally resolved to be
an independent factor in the government
of this country and TO demand Che recog,
milton which he never will get at the
hands of the Republican party.

A concentrated effort of all the business

also by arOusing our W people.
Five OF the above named gentlemen will

others.

THE COLORED MAN AND THE RE
PUBLICAN PARTY.

The esteemed HatsHigeHeer is strongly
agitated over the assertion of a correspond
ent in the REGISTER the other day regard
ing the treatment of the cOlOred voters by
the white Republicans Of this city. This
assertion seems to nave caught our esteem
ed neighbor on the jugular causing q rush
of blood to the brain and consequent d zzr-
ness. In y very unneighbOrly fashion 1t
rushes at the REGISTER with its editorial
club a. if the REGISTER were the purity
that ''sluzged" 1t. In q heated manner it
wants to know this and it wants o know
that. Softly, neigh6Or. The REGISTER
has not said q word about this matter. II
was a correspondent who made the aSseI-
tion-a correspondent who ought 10 know
what he is talking abOut, and we really
think he does.
Surface indications certainly back up his
statements. OF course the Republican
party loves the colOred man like = brother,
for is it not so howled from the stump every
campaign time? Aud then contemplate
the brotherly tenderness with which the
Republican party looks after the eOlOred
mans vote at the polls! But for all this,
the colored voter must flock by himself on
a back seat in the synagogue he is rarely
if ever ushered to 3 front seat and ne Is
never asked to take the pulpit.
For a quarter of q century the colored
man has been publicly caresssd By the Re-
publican party and invited to share in its
councils; and privately kicked out when he
applied for admission.
But the Intelligence points to several IN
stances where a colored man has actually
been "~cheerfully" accorded a place Is
delegate to a Republican Convention. de
actually kept his seat among his white
brethren for several hours. But after that
he went back and 8Ocked BY himself.
The Republican party opens wide its
arms to receive the colored mans vote,
but the eolored man himself mnst keep q
respectful distance.
The I~RtethseaeT propounds this query,
which it evidently regards as q sOckdOla-
ger. 1t asks if the REGISTER can point

INVESTIGATING HE READING.


We are told there was q pereeptible
wincing among those members of the
House representing highly protected mo-
nOpolies on the resolution to investigate
the Reading strike, but the resolution was
passed, nevertheless, and we shall proba-
bly, have the facts brought to light. The
most brazsn argument against the investi-
CATION made by the monopoly was that the
Reading railroad company n its other
self the Reading Coal and Iron Company,
are Pennsylvania corporations and an in
vestigation of their relations with their en-
ployes would be an infringement Of State
rights. 1t does not seem to occur to these
subsidized ~mOnopoies that government
protection may carry with it the right Of
government supervision.
The magnitude OF this strike sttests its
vast importance and warrants the inyesti-
CATION of its causes and effects. IL in
wolves 45, 600 laboring men, representing
300, 900 persons, who have been living
through a rigorous winter in 4 state Of
semi-starvatiOn. The corporations lay all
the blame for the strike on the strikers,
and it may be they are not blameless; but
when As, 600 ~workingmeD, with their
wives and children, stubbornly persist in a
movement for higher wages through hun
ger, cold and sickness, it shows that they
have, or think they have, some show of
Justice ON their side; and all the world
knows what q harsh, cruel, grssPing and
s~Oulless thing this Pennsylvania mOnOpO-
IL is.
1t is not charged in this government in
dietment that the Reading combination is
a member of one of the trusts that have be-
come such fashionable agencies for the con-
troll Of prices, the limitation Of production
and the domination of labor; but it is a
first cousin OF these national curses. As
Mr.. RAYNER, of Maryland, declared in
the house debate last week: "Let US
track this subject to its fOuntaiu-bead and
discover, as l believe we will, that it is a
conspiracy Of capital, and not of labor; and
let us apply the most heroic remedies leg
islation can devise to break up the internal
systems which, under the name of trusts
are shadowing the prosperous homes and
business centres of the country"

IL ITS comments on the political situa-
ton in West Virginia, the State Standard,
the recognized organ of the Greenback La
Dor party, says:
"The Labor party is quietly and effect
lively dressing up its lines for a final as
s~ault."
Here is news. Are we to understand
that the members of the Greenback party
in West Virginia are tired Of fusion, and
they are going TO return to their own par
" communion? The yoking Of the 'Ox
and ass together" in West Virginia politics
has not been overwhelmingly successful. 1t
is little wonder that the weaker member
OF the union has begun to grumble at bear
ing all the blows and burdens and getting
none of the profits.
