! I have been told by number of Re-
publicans of Minneapolis of late that the
best thing for the Colored men to do is
to divide their vote. What does this
mean? Why not let us alone, and let
us do just as our white brothers, vote as
we please. The Colored voter of this
country receives more cheap advice than
any other class of voters; one class say
ing he onght to vote with the third party
another that his solution lies in dividing
his vote between the Democratic and
Republican parties. We inform all these
advisers that we intend to vote to please
ourselves and not these men who come
around at election time handsbaking
and both pockets full of advice; let me
say to these gentlemen that we are
twenty-one years old, and we will use
our vote just as we think that vote will
secure to us the largest benefit in all
that touches our social, civil, financial
and political Interest, just as all other
American citizens ought to do.

Mr.. Samuel P. Chancellor of POS I'd
street S., after severe illness of severa
months died last Sunday Aug II, Al
II :2OA. NJ. His sickness and death de-
serve more than a passing notice, be-
cause on his death bed he was mos
wonderfully converted to Christ. From
the hour of his convention to his death
he was one of the most sensible happ,
persons ever seen, retaining perfect
presence of mind up to the very close Of
his life. He was brought up in the
Baptist faith, so after his conversion he
requested baptism. The pastor of Beth
esda Baptist church with the Deacone
and some of the members assembled
around his dying bed listened to his
christian experience after which at
church meeting he was voted into the
church as a candidate for baptism and
chur ch membership, but he was too
weak to be immersed. From that time
he began to fail rapidly, he was attended
by his dear wife and best friends who
administered to his every want. The
gentlemen by whom he had been en-
ployed continued to pay his wages mp
to his death which was most blessed
kindness on their part, and his wife and
friends extend to them their most hearty
thanks for the int, est they took in him.
The funeral sermon was preached by
Rev. J. w. Dunjee at Bethesda Baptist
church which was crowded to its utmost
capacity. The whole arrangement was
elegantly carried out; nine carriages
carried the friends to the church at 8: 45
