The missions of Hayti and Liberia viii
soon be filed. The man who will 20 tc
Liberia is Hon. Jno. H. Smythe, former.
i ly minister to that country under Hayes
and also under Arthur. Prof. G. L.
Maxwell or as he is Familiarity called
7 <'Cam" Maxwelllo Ohio will go to Hay.
ii. Mr.. Maxwell is we'll known figure
in Ohio politics, having been a member
Of the State Republican Committee. and
was candidate for Clerk of the Supreme
Court in 1886. The dissatisfa ction in
that state will be greatly decreased by
Mr.. Maxwell's appointment and at the
same time President Harrison will gain
an active supporter.
President Harrison is on another tour,
this time in New England. He is max
ing some very telling speeches and his
sincerity to the interests of the Negro in
the way of justice still remains the same.
How any other man can be nominated
for President in 1852, while Mr.. Harri-
son stands 80 favorable with the masses,
is question which politicians will find
difficult to settle. From recent informa-
ton the southern delegates will all be
Tor Harrison.
Elk Congressman, Robert Smalls, Col
lector of the Port of Beaufort, S. C. who
has just returned from bis visit to the
Grand Army Encampment at Detroit,
and the reunion at Rock Point near Pitts
burg, was in Washing on few days ago.
He says that the South generally hoped
that Mr.. Harrison would be given an
other term, but that they were not in a.
position to dictate the nomination. They
all have the best regards for Secretary
Foster and almost swear by Clarkson,
Chairman Of the National Republican
Committee.
The action of the Patriotic Sons of
America at recent meeting in Philadel
phia, in shutting Colored men out of
that organization has excited some COM
ment and revives the question, Is pred
judice against the Negro dying out?
"Larph" the wide awake and deser-
ved]y popular correspondent is Ralph
w. T., Ter. He is private secretary to
w. D. Brickell, owner and publisher
of the Columbus Dispatch, and besides
this is correspondent and story writer
for the Kellogg newspaper union. His
letters are attractive and make very
spicy columns in the various journals
that use them. Mr.. Tyler has a very
neat residence at 81 North 9th St in Co.
lumbus, o., and very fairy of wife
graces and makes pleasant his hours at
home.
We visited the various departments
of Government here last week and
found that more COlored clerks are en-
ployed in the War Department than
elsewhere.
All of them speak we'll of Maj. F. c.
Ainsw worth, Chief of the Record and
Pension D vision of that department.
He is very fair man and colored
clerk receives promotion according to
his merit. He is not afraid to promote
a Colored man even in the face of oppo-
sition. The Major is model of polite
ness, and has magnificent physique
equal to Greclan of old.
The scheme to induce large numbers
of Colored people to leave this country
for Liberia is already put down as fail
ure. Even the Colonization Society has
no faith in the movement which is
known to be wholly in the interest of a
steamship company. Liberia is Offering
no special Inducements to emigrants,
and the little republic is the same Col
gotha it has been from time immemoria].
OF the eighty thousand people. of the
race in the District of Columbia there is
not one who has announced himself as
willing to 60 to Africa.
Senator Davis of Minnesota, YVES
serenaded last Monday night at his
residence on Massachusetts avenue by
the Washington Mandolin Club co1n-
posed ofyoung Colored men. A number
of selec ions were rendered and the senl
ator expressed himself as highly pleased.
He rendered the gentlemen refresh
ments and they gave him quite talk on
the history of their respective instru-
ments s.
