ticket.
Gentlemen: Lam informed that the
committee on credentials will not be
ready TO report for three-quarters OF an
hour" said Foote. Nothing could be
lone but take recess for three-ouarters
~ an hour. A few minutes later the
chairman suggested that it might be
good thing. George ID. Vashon, one of
the editors of the Negro World. was
called for. Mr.. Vashon took the plat
form and told why the negro is break
ing away from the Republican party.
Among other things, he said:
Some people are ready TO apply 70
the negro who votes the Democratic
ticket the harsh epithet of villain, be-
cause, Republicans say, the Republican
party set the negro free. That man
down there, because he is white, can be
a Democrat and yet be considered an
honest man. If cannot also be a Dem
Ocrat and good man at the same time,
then l am not free"
Mr.. Nashon went On to say that the
Republican party lives on its record OF
a war that was begun before he was
born and ended before he knew it was
going on. He denied that the Repub-
lican party set the negro free. The war
began over the question of the per-
NANCY of the Union. Emancipation of
the negro came as a side issue. And he
believed that the majority of the Union
soldiers were Democrats. But granting
that the Republican party did preserve
the Union and free the slaves and do
everything that it claims to have done.
he Insisted that that Republican party
was not the party of Matt Quay and
Dudley, the party of Harrison anu Lin
coin. but the party Of Lincoln. OF Sew
ard. of Sumner, of Chase. And ali the
men OF that party who are not dead are
Democrats. among them ~HOadley, OF
Ohio; Boies, of Iowa, and Palmer. of
Illinois. The rebel brigadlers, the Ma
homes. the Longstreets, the guerilla
Mosebys. are all high in the councils OF
the Republican party.
Judge J. C. Nethaway,
candidate for attorney general on the
state ticket.was called for and respond
ed. Judge Nethaway asked the Demo
Gratis OF HennepiD county to put

Minnesota for twenty-five years. And

capitalist. he will be found with the
workingmen every time. He comment
ed upon the fact that the Democratic

to speak on the issues of the day. Judge
Nethaway closed with plea for q
strong campaign-a campaign of issue
and right nr nan1naroar-
against the money of the Republican
party.
Jimmy Lawrence was called for
feebly, but. there being no general tie-
sire 10 hear him. the convention took 4
recess.
