TIE mHITE.MAN MOVEMENT,

The cat is out OF the bag at last. The
movement begun ut Birmingham for the
establishment OF white mans Repub'
lican party in Alabama proves to be
merely an oiIice-seekers grab boom. The
proof OF this was recently furnished The
Ne,p York Herald in the following extract
from a private letter TO friend in that
city from a former Southern Republican.
This gentleman says
The recent meeting at Birmingham presided
over by ex.Goy. Smith, was only gathering Of
members Of the Republican party In Alabama who
anxious respecting the disposition OF the Offices
IN that State, but who have lost control OF the
party machinery, usually efficient Ia controlling
Official patronage, through the superior ability OF
the Mosely set In managing the nonwhlie mem
bem OF tho Republican party I do not believe
that the men who gathered there are able 10 ada
one white vote more 10 tho Republican party In
tho future than IN the past and their inefieency
In that respect has been well tested.
This talles exactly with what the lead
ing newspapers Of Alabama and TIE AP-
rEAL's Birmingham correspondent said in
reviewing the action Of the White Mans
Convention the day or day after II was
held. That body was mainly composed
OF hungry Office seekers, and there were
but few sclf-respecting men among the
lot. That this is also true We have the
testimony Of Ex-senator Blanche X.
Bruce, Of Mississippi, colored, who in
recent interview said.
One Of the promoters OF that movement came TO
me several days ngo and asked me 20 indorc his
| application for an Office. said h him, why do
| You ask that, A. understand Il you do pot dc'irc
that colonel men shall hold any Office or have any
thing 10 do with official patronage"
ooh. well. he replied, that does not mean you,
you know You arc oil right"
"But," said I. "liisuoi !. II Is the principle In
volycd ia color ics, il TO be applied Il must be
! applied 10 ALL" My friend Lynch informed me
that he had been approached by another advocate
OF the same movement, who Is an applicant for an
Once IN the same manner lie declined, ns did
to MAKE any recommendation.
II would be difficult to match this ex-
pcriencc Of standardization. But 1t Is
characteristic Of the suporserviccable Ala
bama Republicans who sprung with such
avidiiy to initiate the whiic-man policy
which the President Is so eager to enforce
at the South. They willingly lent them
selves 10 help In tho exclusion Of the
negro from office, but did not as office
seekers hesitate to ask the aid and help
Of two influential negroes who, in consis-
tcncy aud manhood, prove TO be very
much their superiors Mr.. Bruce aud Mr..
Lynch would do the public a great service
by iurnshing the press with the names Of
the white men whom they charge with
asking for their help to secure federal
Offices.
