Among all the men In Arkansas, demo-

Not only did the democrats have the

business qualifications and honesty OF
the treasurer, bat several OF the more
wealthy republicans are on his bond.

MANCHESTER, Va, Feb. %, 1890.
The chief topic of the day in Man
chester is who will be postmaster of
this city? A meeting OF the colored
Republicans of this city, we learn is to
be called soon to endorse a man
qualified for the position in every
respect regardless of what has been
said, that isn't in the question.
We were told to take the back seat
ia the last campaign. and what was
the resultf Those of you who are
posted as to the political condition
OF the State know as well as we.
Further comment is unnecessary.
We do not intend to keep silent our
wants. Nothing ventured, nothing
gained" / would ask who are the
Republicans of Manchester? Are
they among those who are afraid sof
being ostracised ?
We shall endorse a colored man
because it is our duty. We want a
man that has done service to the
Party. We want a man thoroughly
identified with the Republican Party.
We want q man that can look upon
his fellow men with a degree OF re-
spect, so as to cause the whole COM
munity to feel that they have the
right man in the right place, and one
that can be respected. Shall we sit
down and wait with our arms folded
Tor some one else to hewlthe line for
us? We answer, no. The boon is
ours, and especially so when we have
the qualified material within our
midst.
Ex-City Councilman, ]. z. Hewlett,
ex-Captain James HI. Cunningham
(of the Union Guards); Mr.. VIM. II.
Hughes, ST., and many Others, are
qualified to :fill the position and ef-
ficiently as any postmaster has as
yet. There are among the names
mentioned, many young men also
who have been asked to allow their
names to be used in this connection
and In due time we will take pleasure
in announcing them to the public.
We can't say just now who will be
the choice of the meeting. Whether
he shall be from Chesterfield or from
the city of Manchester we know not
so let us have the meeting.

fit of the Knights of Pythias of this
