Against q Color Line.


Against Color Line.
NEWPORT, R. l., Jan. 81 Lending
colored citizens of Newport have adj
dressed letter to President-elect Harri-
son. After prophesying an impartial
administration of national affairs, the
address concludes as follows:
MUCH HoNoRED SIR-The press says
you have been waited upon by parties
from the South who would form alliances;
that is, that it is wished the colored eiti-
zen, regardless of his attachments, pa
triotism or other merits, be left
out in the cold; that he
be recognized and encouraged as
are other members OF the body polite,
but he must submit cOmplacently to the
drawing of the color line. Permit us to
enter our most solemn protest against any
such policy. We think your administra-
ton will be illustrious, and praying that
it may be strictly just to all, we have the
honor to subscribe, ever your humble
servants,

interesting character in the early history

great Fannin massacre when several hun
bred Texans after checking overwhelming
forces, and trying to get to the Alamo to
rescue Bowie, Travis and Crockett, were
induced by most liberal terms to surren-
der as prisoners of war, and then, when
unmarked, shot down like dogs without
warning. His escape and subsequent
adventures in seeking to join HOus-

parties, on the frontier, would I'LL vol

The time has again come when we
must choose mayor and in dong
SO it behooves our people in making
choice to not only select a repre-
sentative man of our prominent little
city, but one of recognized ability,
who is particularly well adapted TO
fill the position not only with credit
to himself but to the credit of the
city, the course of particularly a
young city is under the guidance and
direction of the mayor. We all have
to admit that the opportunities afford
ed 20 mayor alone to advance the
city by his tact and judgement in
the course of year are many, and In
making our choice we should cast
our votes as matter of business, and
vote for a man who is fitted for the
position, one who can accomplish
what we want done, which is every
thing possible in the interest of the
city, one who is identified with us,
and who cannot be influenced by out.
side interest in anyway. In looking
over our city for such man, and in
some cases passing personal prefer
ence, a number of our people decided
that Mr.. o. c. Hess was the man the
city needed, man who possessed the
qualifications in every particular so
much desired, a gentleman who has
had experience in the management
of municipal affairs, gentleman
whose profession has kept him in
public life for years, and one no mat
ter what the emergency would be the
peer OF any mayor IN the state such
4 man is o. 6. Hess our candidate
for mayor.

o. G. Hess the peoples candidate
for mayor has soldier record that
he may well be proud of. He enlist
ed in the eighth Illinois cavalry in
September 1861 when he was but
sixteen years old, he received bad
hip wound at Culpepper Court House
in the spring OF 1862, he was wound
ed IN his right elbow at Beverly Ford,
Virginia, June 9th 1868. After see
ing great deal of hard service all
of the time suffering from his wounds,
he was detailed as an orderly and
while on such duty his horse fell
with him and broke his wounded
arm again and broke one of his
ankles. After serving his country
two years and eight months his disa-
ability from these wounds was so
great that he was discharged from
the service. Every acquaintance of
Mr.. Hess is well aware that he is a
sufferer from his wounds, and yet no
man has ever heard him complain,
and there are men who are not aware
that his injuries were received in the
service, such is brief sketch of a
boy soldier, now a man who should
be honored for the service he gave
hls country.
