BRUCE AND LANGSTON.

The addresses of Hons. b. K
Bruce and John M. Lsugston, be-
fore the National Press Conven-
tion this week were maeter pieces
of logic and oratory. Mr.. Bruce
surprised the convention. His
speech was full of pure oratory
and sound sense. He was honest.
no one will deny and with such
men as Bruce and Langston the
Negro would have no cause to
fear. We need honest men In

PROF. J. M. LANGsTON AND OTHERS.

The tenth annual session OF the

convention to order, and read the
call. Rev. DIR. McGiness offered
prayer.
Mr.. j. w. Cromwell, of the
Peoples AdUocate, introduced
Hon. John M. Langston, who de-
livered the opening address of
welcome on the part of the citi-
zens. lie, among other good
things, said that the convention
might congratulate themselves
that they were ''permitted to con-
vene in city that is free city,
and under the shadow of our lofty
monument of Washington, you
shall conduct your deliberations
In positive assurance that no fear
nor molestations from any source
whatever may disturb or annoy
you. II The names of
your journals, with which your
efforts are associated, will be com
mitted to memory by those train
ed in the schools and colleges
for which the city is noted" Mr..
Langston spoke for an hour. and
was loudly applauded at the close.
Mr.. Murry responded on behalf
of the convention. He said that
the colored journalists had come
from every part of the country to
deliberate upon the most impor-
tant issues etfecting the develop
ment and progress of 100000
loyal people of the American re-
public. The convention would
not be partisan assembly, not
one clamoring and wrangling for
the spoils of Office, but the defen-
ders of the rights of a long suffer.
ing people. In this task. they bad
gone forward without prestige,
without money, and with the
prejudices of the whites and the
illlteracy of the Negro forming
mountains OF obstructions in the
way of progress. The speaker,
with much effect and force OF Lam
guage, portrayed the present state
of affairs that related to the race

We think the latter would not care for this,
could it do him any possible harm. But
as il can not, it makes no difference. We
think, however, the biggest mistake ex-
Senator Dorsey ever made, was when he
paid the notorious J q. Albright the sum
OF 81 900 for supporting the Republican
candidate for delegate in 1856 And now
the fellow turns around and banks and

no doubt the heat of our political contest

from the minds OF our people all futures
Tor the contemplation OF the real present.
The state legislature Of Texas has re.
Gently passed almost every measure that
this county requested, and there can be no
dissatisfaction on this score to influence
change or separation. This city has in
the past two years figured prominently
among the cities Of the state, having been
already half dozen times selected az the
place for the annual meetings of all the
grand state institutions. Next week the
state press association will be entertained

change.
