publican North-a single negro that
has ever been considered good enough
to hold the position Of postmaster or
ounce OF brain work. It is well enough
to live in the North and talk Of negro
domination in the South, but where Is
the Northern town, county. city or
State that will swallow the same medi-
cine? The Northern negro is not born
slave. but he is just as effectually
shut out from the advantages OF hui
manity as though the chains were
forged upon him. He can never be
any thing at the North but ''nigger"
still, and the maudlin sympathy SO
freely expressed for the rights Of tho
negro" down South can be better ex-
tended in the North.
Equally as many ''outrages" are
committed in the city Of Philadelphia
in one week As the whole State Of Vir-
ginia in one year. yet no Congressional
committee investigates; and but for the
rum" dealt out to the ignorant Of both
races on election days and other times,
the ''outrages' in the South would be
seldom heard OF. The salvation of the
negro North and South is for him TO do
his own thinking. When they. like tho
whites, learn to odivide on party lines, they
will be more respected; but just SO long
as they allow pot house politicians" to
dictate their political course, so long as
they allow them to keep them in chains,
just 50 long will the whites keep to-
gether. Northern whites will not be
dominated by the negro. and they can
not force their Southern brother to do
what they will not do.
The force bill' will not benefit the
negro, but on the one hand it will re-
! tard his progress. 1t Is nearly thirty
years since the war began. The major
ity Of the old slaves have gone to their
| quiet home. A negro who can ever re-
member slavery must be about thirty
five years old. To have worked in .
field under master he must be close to
fifty years old. Time and education
are healing prejudices, and the two
races in the South are drawing closer
| together, but this fire brand" about to
be cast in their midst by the fanatics at
| Washington will open wounds and re-
suit in tho downfall of the negro in tho
end; for should there be general rev.
olution the whites Of the North and
South would both unite against him.
The strong prejudice right here in the
North is alone sufficient proof of my
claim. Every blow struck at the whites
of the South means two blows on the
shoulder Of the innocent and industri-
Gus negroes, who ask nothing more than
the privilege accorded every American.
whether he be native or adopted; and
if he must fill the menial positions he

down the steps. He was walking alone
although several attorneys came down
behind him. just as he reached the
gateway he staggered, and in
trying to regain his footing
pitched forward before anybody
could reach him, and struck his head
against stone wall. Several gentle
men rushed forward and raised him
from the ground, but before medical as
sistance could be called he died. A few
short gasps were the only indications OF
remaining life when the body was raised
from the ground. Apoplexy was un-
doubtedly the cause Of death. Al
though Judge Noyes has not figured
prominently in State politics in recent
years, he was recognized as one Of the
foremost Republicans OF Ohio, and re-
tanned large following through
out the State. His defeat
for reelection as Governor by
William Allen in 1873 seemed
to check his ambition for political
honors and while he took an active in
terest in politics and held several inn
portant appointive offices, it was not
until 1890 that he could be induced to
try for an elective position. He was
then chosen judge Of the superior court
which place he held to the time OF his
death.
[Govcrnor Noyes would have been s. years Of
age had he lived until October B. He was q
native Of Massachusetts, and prior to entering
Dartmouth College, from which he was gradu-
ated in 1857, he worked five years in . printing
ONCE. Removing to this city in 1858 he took the
course in the Ohio Law School and entered
upon practice at the bar. He entered the
Union army In July, 1861, as Major OF the
Thirty y-ninth Ohio Infantry and served through
campaigns in Missouri on the lower Missis-
sippi river and in Georgia. At the battle OF
Run Mill. he lost . leg. He was brevetted a
Brigadier General Of volunteers In April 1855.
The same year he became city solicitor
OF Cincinnati and little later was
elected probate judge Of Hamilton County. In
1871 he was elected Governor Of Ohio, but 81
the succeeding election was defeated by "Old
BIr' Allen. In 1877 President Hayes appointed
| General Noyes Minister to France, which post
he resigned In 1881 to resume the practice OF the
| law. Governor Noyes has not taken very &C
| tive part in politics In recent yearSl

1t makes very little difference
whether Mr.. Blaine has converted the
President to his reciprocity views or
the President has induced Mr.. Blaine
to dilute tho same in the interest OF
party harmony. the fact remains that
by giving his views utterance Mr..
Blaine has made it impossible for the
Republican party ever to become unit
again in favor of higher protective
duties. lie has given vent to great
volume of smoldcring disrontent with
the programme of his party in Congress,
and has prompted the expression by Re-
publican leaders and newspapers Of
opinions Of the most revolutionary
character. Throughout New England
and the Northwest there have been de-
liyerances OF this kind which will be Of
incalculable service in the cause Of
tariff reform. for they will set thou
