A NEGRO SEES A LIGHT.-It appears
that President Harrison is not passing
current even among his colored fellow
citizens in his own State of Indiana.
T. E. Christy, editor of the Indianap-
oils World, one of the most prominent
colored men Of that State, announces
his purpose to support the Democratic
ticket at the coming election. He has
been lifelong Republican, and dur
ing the last national campaign was
one of Mr.. Harrison's most enthusiast
tic supporters. In his last issue he
says:
II have long since ascertained that
the glorious promises which are held
out to people of my color by Republi-
can office-seekers on the eve of an cleo
ton invaribly fail to materialize, and
it seems to me that it is high time we
were calling half on such dupery.
The greatest curse upon the black man
of to-day is his proneness to blindly
obey the dictates of Republican dema-
gogues without consulting his own in.
clination, because he has been made to
believe that his freedom was secured
wholly and entirely through the Re-
publican party"
That is really sound and sensible
view of the negro question. The col
ored people North and South have
been picking the chestnuts out of the
fire for the special benefit of the Re
publican party for the last thirty years,
and have never yet been particularly
rewarded for their subservient services

MeSSrs. Editors.-Will you allow
space in your paper to correct a state
ment that appeared in the Register of
Sept. I'd. | see my name down as dele
gate of the Alliance to Luray. Il say the
Alliance, because there was no one in
that meeting but Alliance men. They
may call it the Peoples party" or
what not.)
1 was in town that day to see the
show, and thought would take it all
in. So l went to that convention.
Now, sir, if | had any idea of changing
my politics l would vote for Harrison.
! would then know whom l was voting
for and what sort of a platform. This
People party" has no platform. They
will tell you the woods in full of them"
but when they come to vote it will be
like it was in the convention in your
town-they apont be there. They can't
forge names then.
