forethought and wit lnterspersed
with eloquence found only in Law
renee. Covers were prepared for 100
persons, and few were the vacancies.
The repast was excellent. Every body,
even those whose daily countenances
seem clouded, wore bright faces, and
as the Hall glittered with banners
and paintings, the muses. of mirth
seemed to thrill the heart of the
guests. The banquet, the ouly one of
its kind ever given in the State, was
a success. 1t has proven to the peo-
pie of Lawrence that even though the
spirit of attraction does not run high
except at times, there Is In their city
among the young ladies and young
men, talent that cannot be surpassed
by any other city in Kansas. To the
young men of Lawrence much credit
is due. No Que present last Tuesday
eve will say for once, that they are be-
hind the times. aud every one in the
hall felt, and was impressed by the
genial atmosphere. Only twenty-six
miles from the metropolis of Kansas,
yet by this act they have placed
themselves just step higher. Who
would not be proud of such young
people! Great credit and much
praise is due to Messrs. Gray. Bow
man, Seymour and Gray, yes, and to
all the members of the club-and

THE WORD NEGRO.

Every race of people on the face of
the earth save those of our race have
distinct nomenclature and are
proud Of 1t. Many persons of our
race detest the name African, and
consider themselves grossly insulted
to be called Negroes, but want to be
called "colored people," which aim
ply means nothing, while on the 9TH
er hand the word that sounds so of
fensiVe to many of our people means
dark man with crisp curly hair
The Nexicans. Indians, Frenchmsn,
Germans, Italians, in fact every race
on earth are proud of their race name
and the sooner we accept the word
Negro as our name. our rightful name,
the sooner will other races respect us.

REPUBLICANS TAKE NOTICE

The election on Tuesday demon
stratcs that colored leaders and col
ored newspapers, have influence
among their people. With but one
exception, the colored leaders were
inactive, many, of them openly de-
nouced the administration, while the
CITIZEN openly advised the colOred
men not to vote. We awaited the
election to see how the result would
be. and we find the result highly sat
isfactory. While the white vote of
the city, fell off more than nintY per
cent, showing SO great falling OH
that every body must notice it. The
lesson we call the Republican, at
tention to, is this, the colored man
has shown you that he does not like
the treatment he has received, and
that he can, if necessary, let the old
nartv 90. He further shows, that ne
reads his paper, and that the day has
come, when colOred paper IS pot
ant factor in the race. All this was
done while the party orator. COL
John NJ. Brown was making fight
for 4 man that every colored man ad-
mires. While Hon. John L. Waller
was using his influence for the he
nubI,can candidate. Now, if the
nartv will treat Its coIored allies right
he CITIZEN is with them. If they
don't propose to give places to color
"a men, or adopt any other policy
than equality in every thing then
the CITIZEN will fight the party un,
I'll it docs its duty by the colOred
man. There are some congresslona
districts in this state, and some coun'
t;as where the same action as taker
hare will insure Republican defeat
and if We are not to be treated on al
equality in all things, then 1t is Oct
ter to let it be defeated.
