Derrick to deliver the Grafton, and
we know that be gave entire
abstraction. His Grafton was
liberal and his reference to those
who have made progress was
-ommendable, and he demonstrat-
d the fact that he was more lib
eral than some of our would-be
negro leaders who are not liberal
enough TO see beyond their family
circle. For two hours the vast
audience listened with intense in-
ter st TO the great negro represen-
fative and when he was about to
conclude cries of ego on "go

had finished the applause lasted

WHOLESALE LYING ON
Wholesale BAPTISM,

Editor Washington Press: The
Daily Post of April Is. in speak
ing of the baptism of the converts
of the Fifth Baptist Church, as
performed by the pastor, Rev. G..
w. Lee, has falsely and erroneous
ly characterized the whole affair.
and the manner in which this
baptism was ridIculed by the Post
reflects seriously upon the dignity
of the Christian church and its
pastor, aud in my opinion, deser
yes the censure of all the good
citizens aud practical Christ ians.
During the history of baptlsms
performed by colo ed churches in
this city for many years past, never
before was there slch an attempt
made to ridcule the solemn wor.
ship of g ID, and though the ar
rangements made for the baptism
had been made public for months
yet the Post seemed ro think it a
great surprise, and couldn't tell
whether it was base ball match
or prize fight, until am; DIST the
mauy vehicles which he describes
he saw the old fashioned carriage
with Rev. O.. w. Lee in it, that it
was babtismal occasion. Aud the
carriage spoken of was not so old
fashioned as the Post thinks it
was.
again the police officers will
verify the fact that there was no
unusual noise made by the cou-
verts on the shore, and no one
seemed annoyed in the viciniy. 1t
was jnst as easy for the Post CIR
respondent to have told The truth
as falsehood in his description
of the scene, and to ridicuIe a.
minister of the gospel in that
manner while be is In the dis
charge of his mission certainly
cannot reflect credit upon any pa
per that commeads it. This NAV
be readily accounted for. 1t is said
In the Book of Job that there was
a day when the sons of God came
to present. themselves before the
Lord, and Satan came among
them.

THE GREAT DERRICK.

The great speech of DR.. w. B.
Derrick, of New York, on the
occasion of the 9th anniversary
Of the emancipation OF slaves in
the District of Columbia, was le-
livered at the 4th Baptist church
on last Tuesday evening. Dr.
Derrick surprised all who heard
him; be dealt with the American
negro in a practical light; there
was no theory abont his speech;

Those who were fortunate enough
to gain admission to the church
did not regret it. For two hours
the Doctor held his audience with

tested any dissatisfaction. The
Washington people never heard a
negro representative handle the
question Of negro emancipation
in the District as DR.. Derrick did

from the vast number of people
present, more than usual interest
was manifested
1t was a representative meeting

FOR THE ISLAND OF HAYTI

DIR. Simmons is the man for Hay.
ii. He has rendered his party ser
vices unhinchingly for number OF
years, he has never been awarded
anything for his valuable assistance
unlike other republicans he has
taught republican ideas, as a
school master, he has held out be.
fore young men the true merit tf
republican principles. In the school
room, pulpit and on the hustings
his one creed has been republican
ism. No man can better do without
Office than DR.. Simmons. No
man has been so entirely free
from expectation as he, he has new.
er asked compensation nor refused
his aid both in season and out OF
season when republican principles
needed advocacy.
True TO his race and his party
principles the "almighty dollar"
has never Shakened his strong hold.
He is not of the kangaroo type OF
republicanism, today democrat and
tomorrow republican, but has
fought for it and will today fight.
His education is liberal, his exper-
ience broad and his integrity good.
No sensible man can protest against
bis appointment if it be made. Let
Mr.. Harrison send him to Hayti and
the country will honor her son.
Ii any other paper is in sympathy
with these Suggestions it would do
well to herald them.

FRED DOUGLASS.

Mr.. Douglass Grafton at the
Metropolitan church last Tuesday
night was a maSteriul and SchOl-
arlv effort. Like all his literary pro-
duetions it received, and very
properly too, the endorsement OF

cal flights and drew very heavily
upon his imagination to convey to
hls hearers the idea that the negro
is eternally and fundamentally the
inferior OF the white man. He sees
nothing but defeat and ruin for the
negro as negro in this country.
and advises the race to subordinate
itself to the caucasian race because
the latter is, as he believes, st1ong-
er. intellectually and financially,
and must per force be the DON'T
nant race in this country. The
gloomy picture which the sage OF
AnacoStia has drawn representing
the condition and standing of the
American negro in this country is
said to behold, painful TO
think on. IL is an adroIt, we'll

and is evidently meant to
serve double purpose, How well
it will accomplish its purpose re

We recognize in Frederick Doug
lass a man of wonderful taleut SD

quite prepared, however, to accuse
him OF being possessed Of the Gift
of prophecy. We believe we are
justified i'm assuming that the dire
calamitieS which be predicts as
certain 20 overcome the race, are
the outgrowtb Of an enfeebled mind
AS men grow older they think and
act and talk differently than when
they were younger and possessed
OF all OF their faculties. Mr.. Doug

the negro to surrender his manhood
and right TO recognition to the
white race which happens to be in
the majority in point of numbers
and wealth. We do not believe
that Mr.. Douglass advice on this
point is either wise or statesman
like. For the negro to follow il
would be a diSgraceful surrender OF
his manhood and admission TO our
common enemy Of his inferiority
1t has taken Mr.. Douglass a long
time to discover that the negro does
not apnOunt to much and that ANAL
gamation wi, the white race is the
only safe policy for the negro to
pursue. Mr.. Douglass is evidently
speaking from practical experience
