ECHOES FROM THE CONVENTION.
The slate was broken.

down on.
There were some negroes present
who had sense enough to know that
they were wanted as tools and are
rejoicing that they had the discern
ment to see it.
Cain, the nominee for Representa-
tive, is a negro lawyer, the same
that challenged a iuryman because
he was married man, in a case in
which he was attorney for a negro
defendant against the Houston &
Texas Central R. R., here once.
Wouldn't he make daisy" repre-
sentative.
United States Marshal Fricke has
been circulating among the ebory
Republicans here for a week or
more corralling them for the pur-
pose of getting out a full ticket of
white Republicans in this county,
but his plans miscarried. The ne
groes are getting tired of being ''clay
in the hands of the potter" and de
manded representation. They en-
forced the demands, much to the
digust of Mr.. Fricke, who has re-
turned to his home in "Tamaleyille"
without much room for self-congrat-
ulation as to the result of his weeks
labor.
A white man who will accept the
nomination of such a gathering as
the handful of negroes had here
Thursday, must have little self-res-
pect for himself. We don't believe
they will accept. knowing that inev-
liable defeat awaits them, and that
they were only selected as parties
able to stand it, for the sake of
keeping up show of organization.
Not one of the best posted ne
groes in the convention Thursday
honestly believed that they could
nominate a ticket that stood any
chance of even partial success, but
Mr.. Fricke had worked them up to
meeting and there was nothing
else to do.
There is said to be one black
sheep in every flock, but the reverse
was the order at the republican con
vention here Thursday. The lone
white sheep wanted to lead the
whole flock, but the unwashed were
too numerous and the rankold "bell
weather" from Tamaleville found
himself in the center of the herd
being borne along towards unfruit-
full pastures. He has strayed of.
If any white man feels proud of
having been nominated by the Re-
publican convention of A negroes
here Thursday, he has vain desire
for notoriety, and not very lofty
sense of self-respect. The nominees
that go into an active canvass with
only the endorsement of that con-
vention can start out with the assur-
ance of depleted pocket-books and
need not hope for even glory hon
ors or emoluments.
Competition is the life of candi-
dates: let the Republican Executive
Committee fill up the ticket and the
canvass commence
