DEMOCRATS DISAGREES.
SENATOR VEST MIsREPREsENTED.

EDITOR PosT-I have just read
in your paper an editorial COM
ment upon an alleged interview
with me in the Atlanta ConStitu-
ton, in which | am reported as
saying that the white and black
races cannot live to gether on this
continent, and that the latter
must be deported. l have never
had any such interview or made
any such statements. In conver
sation with friends | have often
alluded to Mr.. Jeftrson's prope-
cy that if the negroes were eman-
cipated they could not live in the
same country with the whites, but
| have advocated at no time or
place the nonsense ascribed to me
in your editorial. The negroes
are citizens of the United States
and can never be forcibly deport-
ed without their consent. In my
judgement no large number of
them will ever expatriate them
selves voluntarily, and the prob
lem must be settled on some 9TH
er basis.
Very truly, g. G. Vest.

M'KINLEY FOR 1892.
HOW THE OHIO MAN MAY BE AZ
FECTED BY THE IOWA SENATORIAL
ELECTION.

Smith D. Fry in the Burling-
ton Ha,Ckeye:- Every Republi-
can politician, no matter from
what State be comes, is looking
with intense interest towards To-
wa and her legislative action in
this matter. Especially do the
Ohio men look askance at Iowa
just now. They are all friendly
to Senator Allison, but-don't
you see that if the Iowa legislat-
ure will only defeat Allison, what
an easy, comparatively easy time
William Mckinley of Ono
would have in capturing the
Presidential nomination OF his
party in 1892? The State OF
Ohio has had a csnd date for the
Presidency regularly. for mum
Der of years; and, in Major Nc
Kinley she has splendid timber
which will not be neglected. but
will be carefully cultivated. Ii
may as we'll be understood now.
for it must be known sooner or
latter, that Senator John Sherman
is an apprecciative, grateful man,
warm hearted and generous to his
tried friends, and he rega DIS Ma
jor Mckinley as one of the staun
chest, truest triends he ever had.
We all remember how well Major
Mckinley stood for Sherman at
Chicago, and how firmly he re.
fused TO allow his name to be u.s.
ed in the convention Of 1888. His
steadfastness for Sherman then
made for him a friend who will
stand by him faithfully and effsc-
lively for 1892. John Sherman
is backing VIM. Mckinley for the
Presidency; the Ohio Congress
sional delegation is standing BY
him; the entire Republican party
of Ohio is behind him, and he is
looming up like a prospective
winner. Nothing would enhance
bis opportunities more than the
withdrawal of the Iowa man
from the race.

NO HOPE.

Whatever may be expected from
the present Congress by our people
in the South in the way of passing
some national election law, we de~
sire to say that nothing will be
done. Our Republican Congress
is too c0wardly to enforce the laws
that are now on the statute books
for the protection of the Ameri-
can Negro. We have all the laws
necessary to protect the Negro
without the passage of any new
laws and no one knows it better
Unan tue negroes IrIend, Hon. w.
E. Chandler. But what can Mr..
Chandler do alone in bis struggle
to protect human rights? While
he is willing to do all in his power
to right the wrongs against the
Negro, he cannot receive any sup
port from our party leaders. We
want to say that it looks dark for
the Negroes in this country so tar
as receiving any legislation by
Congress. The Negroes in the
North can better protect the Ne.
groes in the South by teaching our
republican friends a lesson. If it
Is impossible for the Negroes in
the South to be protected at the
ballot box, let our colored friends
in the North keep away from the
pole and elect no more Republican
Congressman who are too timid 20
enforce the laws on the statue
books. Senator Chandler has
done all that one man can do and
if our cOlOred fellow citizens in the
South want to retain the friend
ship of such men as Hon. John
Sherman let them send no men to
the National Republican conven-
tionS who have no regard for truth
and honesty. We sympathize with
the masses of cOlored people in the
South, but we have no respect for
q great many Of their colored poll.
ticians and if it is necessary to
send colored men to Congress send
truthful men and not liars.

DIR, PURVIS DID RIGHT.

A great deal has been said by
some of the friends of the race
about DR.. Purvis' expose of the
upcharitableness of our colored
public men and women.
Exception has been TAX
en- to the expediency of publish
ing our faults in this direction.
1t is claimed that the fact that our
colored churches were not inClln-
ed to give more than $3.50 to
make a bright Christmas for our
colered widows, orphans and poor
should have been kept concealed.
In our opinion DR.. Purvis was
correct in exposing the truth In
the hope that the Indifference on
the part of the churches might be
made the subject Of just criticism
and result in more widespread
charity toward our poor and
needy. Moreover the charge that
is often made that DR.. Purvis
claims no identity with the race
is disproved by the fact that be Is
the only pubic man, except eur
self, who has referred to the mat
ter of looking after our poor
Wherever the onus may lodge
certain it is that we do not per-
form our full share of the duty Of
making our own people comfor-
table and happy. Ius cad Of blam
ing DR.. Purvis, let US thank him
for exposing our fault and strive
In future to correct it.

DISTRICT REPRESENTATION
IN CONGRESS. THE CITIZENS
COMMITTEE AT WORK.

- ~ NANAA'
There was large meeting Of
the citizens committee of one hun
dred, held in the Grand Army
Hall, Tuesday evening, with Dr.
RObt. RaYburn in the chair. Gen'l.
HOvey, offered a resolution author
izing the appointment of a special
subcommittee Of nine to memOri-
alize Congress for the passage of

After the resolution had been
adopted Mr.. r. T. Morsell offered
the following:
Whereas the people of the Dis
trict of Columbia are powerless Ell
ther to relieve congress from the
ever increasing burden Of petty
local legislation. or even to lay
before congress by agents OF their

Resolve, That a special committee
consisting of one member from
each district be appointed to in

action is desirable on the part of

COLORED GRAND ARMY nj
THIN-SKINRD WHITE VRTERANs
THREATEN TO RESIGN ON THEIR
ACCOUNT.

NEW ORLEANS, La, January 6,
| ESPECIAL. The fight in the Grand
Army of the Republic, growing out
of the organization Of a colOred
post, CailOux Post, in this city,
promises to be a very bitter one,
and may lead to the disintegration
of the order here. Members of the
FIVE white posts say openly today
that they will surrender their char
ters, leaving the cOlOred men an
open field.
There are a hundred colored sol
diers to each white union veteran
in this department, and the former,
even though they promise not to
enter the white posts, will by sheer
force of numbers, capture the de-
partment organization and run
things to suit themselves to the
utter annihilation of the white ele~
ment. The white members think
that the Grand Army should be
considered and the cOlOred men
left out.
1t seems that the matter of their
admission some time ago was CON
sidered, and the whites voted al
most unanimously against it. Cap
tain Gray, who brought in the col
ored post the other day, was then
against it, and when elected Des
partment Commander, solemnly
declared that his right hand would
wither before he would sign the
charter of a colored post.
There is no doubt that Captain
Gray is in bad oder with his broth
or mem bers, and they charge open
ly that his action was intended as
a revenge because they would not
turn out at the jefferson Davis fu-
neral, and even accuse him of say
ing: '' Well, if they will not turn
out with the whites, l will give
them chance to turn out with the
c0lOred men,"
Captain GRAY seems to be uDaf-
fpcted by tie storm ne has raised.
He says that while he has been
roughly handled by some Of the
papers for the position he has taken
in the matter of Mr.. Davis funeral,
acting as pail bearer, his course
hal been approved oy others. His
loyalty had been criticized by mem
bers of the O.. A. r.. and he would
now let them show their loyalty.
The G. A. R. men were trying to
carry water on both shoulders. he
thought, on the negro question and
he was tired of it.
The first man to resign on ac-
count Of the threatened irruption
of the cOlored men was Captain Il.
G.. Bartlett, adiutant general of the
Department OF Evaisiana aud MIS-
slssippi.
In speaking of his action, he
said:
/" / think the admission of cOlOred
mea very unwise measure, aud
that General Jacob Gray has made
a very serious mistake. He has in.
troduced something that will be of
no real benefit to the colored men,
and will do much to annoy and
perhaps disintegrate the organiza>
ton as it now exists.
II have rendered my resignation
as Adjutant General because it
wOald be necessary for me to sign |
the charter Of the cOlOred post now
being formed, and that l will not
do, from the fact that although
there is nothing in the laws of the |
G, A. R. which prohibits cOlored |
man from becoming a member,
there is something else equally |
that does prohibit the for |
nation Of such posts as the one |
contemplated.
1t is probable that other resigna.
tiOns will follow.

q statement asking the Republicans to de-
sist from their efforts to fix the offense on
the Democrats. as it might jeopardize the
life of his son. who had acted in self-de-
Tense. Gentlemen had not only gone
against the testimony in the pending case,
but nearly every member who had spoken
on the other side had Spoken of the death
of his lamented opponent as if 1t had been
the result of Democratic policy. 1T there
is anything that should be sacred In the
keeping of the American people, 1t was the
honor of a community of American people:
The very committee, members OF when had
voiced the charge against his district, had
before it the whole case 1t had not
summoned a witness; ana he was told
that the case had not been docketed. Yet.
as if it had been tried and found In all its
conclusions, members came here ana TOOK,
not his name and his honor. but The honor
of the people he represented. Was that an
evidence of the fairness his people were TO
receiver He bad no bad case for which he
needed to discount the report IN advances;
but he asked for a sentiment On the out
side that would restrain their Judgment

law to bring before it every man It wanted.
he asked it 70 bring In a bill TO give the
power to serve processes under the law, let
1t call in the military power to sustain the
process of the court. When the time came
to consider the case, let not the members
of the committee come here with the poor
plea that it could not take testimony.
Whoever might be guilty, it was not the
American people. At no time should the
charge be made that a spirit of assassina-
ton pervaded any community OF the
American people. Whatever might be the
crime of the individual, no man could
stand before the American people aud say
that they were lacking in honor or fidelity
to law. GApplause.l.
Mr.. Springer of Illinois thought that the
case had not been thoroughly Investigated
and he favored a resolution. which he said
he would offer at the proper time, appropri-
ating $4,000 TO enable a subcommittee of

gate the election. =.
