THEC0L0RED KICKERS
DARKIBs DIssATIsFIED WITH TIE
WHITE REPUBLICAN CLUES
An Organization Which Threatens to Do
Wonders Unles5 1t is
Placated.

There is a movement on foot among the
colored voters in this city to organize party
independent Of the Republicans, or at least
OF the white Republicans.
The formation OF the white Republican
clubs here has not taken well with the COL
ored brother, and now he proposes TO retail
ate and form a party and not let the white
man in.
TOO MANY REFoRME2s.'
Another thing that has DISCOURAGED the COL
ored Republicans i that the Rcformers, as
they call the white men who came over %
their party last fail, seem 10 be taking TOO
active part, and are booked for too many
OF the Offices
The colorcd voters now say they will drive
these newcomers 10 back seat, or else they
will bolt and organize and run a party on
their own hook-sn Out-and-Out negro
party.
A BEGINNING.
The initial step in this mcyc wsstaken last
night The meeting was held in the hall
over Captain Emmett SCOTS bsT-room on
Broad street. Emmett scott was chosen
chairman and j.. +. scott secretary. Among
those present were Colin 7. Payne, NGpo-
leon Price. Robert Langdon, II. Curtis j.
EOudley, Gustayus Dayl., J. II. jenkins,
Richard Curton, A. NJ. Burton, and b. c.
West.
Il was expected that Edward Thompson
and a number Of other leaders would be
present, but they were not. After a short
conference the meeting adjourned, but VIII
meet ngain soon.
Captain Scott said they meant business
and would push the movement % success.
srGTEsNAN THOMPSON.
Thompson was around the Shafcr building
yesterday afternoon waiting to see judge
Waddlll and tell him that the Republican
party vas going to ruin.
Thompson Is probably the most influential
cOlore1 Republican in Jackson Ward. and "a
superintendent for his party ont there. lie
has no use for the Wise faction. but bls been
warm supporter Of General Malone.
There are ! 800 negroes in his ward, hr SAYS,
who will vote Whichever way he Clhomp'on)
Goes.
DIsPLEAsrEF.
Thompson is not at all pleased with the
white movement I'm his party and claims that
Il II is pushed the negroes will break away
in Q body and form an independent organi-
ZatlOn. He is not at all pleased with the APP
pOutmcnt Of ,lohn Anderson, n negro ot the
Wise faction, 10 position in the custom
house Anderson. be claims, hls done
nothing but kick. and he insists that It was
q bad move on Judge Wadd.l's part 70 re-
ward him. The prospect OF Syl. stokes, ..
c. smith. Murphy, and other new converts
filing places Is also very dIsiasteiui 10 Ihomp-
son. lie THINKS such men should be IA the
party long enough to merit some reward
before they are recognized.
uE HAS sEYN TUE GENERAL.
Thompson has lately been % Washington
and has had a conference with Malone in
regard TO politics here, and be SAYS the
General il not at sll IN favor of the division
OF the party on account oi color nor l. hy in
favor OF pushing the Relormers ahead Of the
old reliable Republicans.
The colOrcd people, according To Ihomp-
sons idea, are very much dissatisfied with
the turn affairs have taken. and Il an cleo
ton were 10 he held any time soon not Bali
OF them would vote the Republican ticket
POSSIBILITY.
II was reported yesterday that the recent
visit Of Mr. y. Taylor McCuc 10 Washington
may probably result m brcsk OF The post
Office deadlock aud that BE- viii possibly be-
tsken up as a compromise candidate Tor that
position.
