sHRRwD cOLoRED REPUBLICAN ON
HARR1soN's POLICY.
Senator II. r. Allan, Of Iberville,
was in the city yesterday, and prof
fered to the heterogeneous Of a Times
Democrat reporter his opinions on the
political situation and the Presidents
policy. He said:
"Wbile would like to lead quiet
life with my wife and daughters and
to keep out of the present issue, be-
cause am tired of political turmoil,
still l will say few words on the sit
nation. In my opinion the millen.

the South. President Harrison struck
the bulls eye when he knocked the
Grand Army of the Republic and the
negroes out at the same time. 10
come down to brass tacks, all the
troubles of the Southern negro come
from his love and his supposed in
debtedness to the Grand Army of the
Republic. Now the old time Yankee
soldiers will ask no more rewards, and
the negroes will feel that the freedom
debt is paid in reviewing President
Harrison's action on Federal appoint
ments.
THE colored people on the rice,
cotton and sugar plantations look at
the matter in this way. If Couven-
ton, Republican in character aud
composed Of nineteen twentieths of
the black men, will allow Messrs.
Warmoth, Hero, Herwig, and three or
four other white men to name ticket
and put only one colored man on it,
with none but Messrs. Warmoth, Nc.
MILAN and few other white men to

pie that they may claim the Federal
patronage here, it will, of course, be
white officers up stairs in the Custom
House and colored soldiers down stairs
to tote the boxes and roll the barrels.
"This will result in the colored pco-
Piles millennium, as | have said, ac-
cording to the Iberville unification
plan. There We have twenty colored
to one white man, and the whites for
twelve years have received three
fourths of tho Offices, elected to them
on the Democratic ticket Ivy the col
ored Republican voters in the Parish.
If that can he done in lbcrville, where
there are better colored schools aud
more colored men in Office than al
most anywhere else, it can be done
elsewhere. And why, since these
men, who carried the parish for War
moth and for the Harrison electors,
have formed coalitions with the white
Democrats, cannot the colored men of
the other fifty seven parishes in the
State go in with the white people too?
"Now my proposed millennium is
surely going to come in 1892 for State
ard National surprises. | wish all
colored men to read and keep these
views for future reference, when the
time comes to elect the next Presiden-
tial ticket and State ticket the spring
previous.

negroes of the United States to defeat

their elective franchise. And then

One ticket will be put in the field by
these white Republicans and one by
the Democratic people. At the day

parties will he the same as to colored
appointees to Office.
"The white men of the South will

in their colored fellow-citizens, ane
therefore will protect them.
"In conclusion l will say that tht
negro must for the well.being Of hi;
family and the enjoyment of a peace

his children, turn his eyes and hi:

After delivering himself of these
views "the Senator from Iberville,
