CANDIDATES.
VIM. ]. Fiebrintz, Republican Candi-
date for ASsemblyman, I'd District.

The subject of this sketch, VIM. J..
Fiebrintz, was born in Milwaukee
County, 1858. His father, Aug. Fieb-
rintz, emigrating to this country from
Germany in 1888, and came to Milwau-
kee in 1889, has resided in the Fourth
Ward, excepting brief period, ever
since. He is survived by his large
family, and although he has never
sought any Office, at the hands of
any political party he has nevertheless
been staunch Republican, and is to-
day an active and public-s spirited busi-
ness man. VIM. J. Fiebrintz, his second
born, and subject of this sketch, has al
ready proven that his fathers interest
and exertions have not been thrown
away. In 1870, when yet quite young)
embarking in the commission business
with two brothers Albert, M. and Jno.
II. Fiebrintz, this worthy gentleman,
through his thrift and clever business
tact, has brought this business to the
front to such an extent that to-day the
Wisconsin Afro-American., 1892-11-05

firm of Fiebrintz Brothers is one of the
most widely known commission houses
in Milwaukee, and throughout the state.
He first attracted attention as strong
factor in the political arena two years
ago ago wTfhien eiCotted ss q inemDef III the
Assembly of the Second Assembly Dis
trict, comprising at that time the
Second and Fifteenth Wards. He
served his term with great credit to
his constituents and to himself, and it
was only short while after taking his
seat that his ability proved him the
peer of any man there assembled and
thereafter during the session Mr.. Fie-
brintz had no difficulty in securing the
floor. His clear and forcible, con-
else ideas account for this. Again
as a candidate before the people, for
the Assembly for the Second District,
this time constituting the Second and
Fourth Wards, the citizens of Milwau-
kee can rest assured that if elected,
their interests will be well represented
by sending gentleman like Mr.. Fie-
brintz. Among the colored voters he
needs no introduction, for all know him
on account of the kindness of his
mother-in-Iaw, Mrs. Reamer, on Fourth
Street.

Hints to Housekeepers.

For aphides green lice) spray the
plants with tobacco tea and soap suds
as often as once a week.
SIX or eight drops of turpentlne
added to blacking for one stove
brightens it and reduces the labor OF
polishing.
OLD whisk brooms are excellent for
washing dishes TO avoid putting the
hands in water. They are especially
serViceable in cleaning greasy cooking
dishes when the use of very hot wa
ter is desired.
STUry the situation; see where
there is 8 space in which you can put
a long shalf, or two or three short
ones over each other. Iron brackets
cost but little, and are adjusted easily.
A shelf six or seven inches wide viii
hold all the naking powder, spices
extracts, and the like in common use
and by screwing small hooks to thl
under side, egg beaters, cups, spoons,
etc, can be suspended.

Why the Inhabitants of NOvia Scotia
are not Satisfied.

The chief products of these people
are coal, vegetables and fruits, but in
order to get sale for their goods, i'm
portation is necessary. Fishing is the
chief occupation, and it is very sad
sight to see hard working men, spend
all day fishing and earn nothing for
their labor. In answer to question,
asked by prominent Milwaukee gen
tleman, one of these fishermen said,
"Yes, we bring to shore large amount
of the finest fish one would want to eat,
but when we can get sale for them, we
only get 80 cents for one hundred
pounds, which is no more than eight
tenths of a cent a pound" We pay
here Just over the line from to 10
cents pound for the same fish. The
Goldfish that is caught is sold for about
1925 a hundred pounds, making 1t at
about 24 cents pound. This same fish
is caught and sold here by our men, for
at least u or cents pound. Eastern
states are being protected and a good
price is paid the laboring class. This
of course looks to the inhabitants OF
that country, one sided and naturally
brings about dissatisfaction.

| got to do something for us politically.
We do not expect anything from tie
Prohibition party, and we have nothing
! to say against them.
Let us see what the Union Labor, or
Peoples party, as they are sometimes
called, have done for our colored citi-
| zens and voters.
To them belong the credit of nom
| mating and electing the first colored
man that ever held a public Office in the
State of Wisconsin.
The Democrats also indorsed his
nomination at their convention, which
was held little later on.
We intend to agitate this subject
until we receive political recognition
We do expect something from the Re-
publican party whom we have served
so long and faithfully. The majority
of the colored voters in this vicinity
are still Republicans, and, so far as
know, this fact will hold good all over
the state. / understand that we have
some colored Democrats right here in
our city.
Now, why are they Democrats
will not undertake to say, for I do not
know. But my observation is simply
this, favors asked for and given, lend
ing a helping hand in procuring polit
ical recognition and there may be
other reasons that I am not able to
give, but the fact remains nevertheless.
We are a more intelligent race than
we were thirty years ago. Consequently
our desires are greater, and it takes
more to satisfy us At one time in our
history we did not receive anything for
our labor, but now we want all we earn.
If we don't get what belongs to us, we
are going to ask for it, and we are
going to make such a noise that you
white people will shell out" to get rid
of us.
We have made very rapid progress
since our late war, and keeping right
up with our white friends in all things
that are progressive.
We think what is good sauce for the
white man s goose is good sauce for our
gander. We have been feeding the old
political COW right along with our bal
lots, year after year, and in the mean
time our Republican friends have been
reaping the benefits.
There are quite a number of co1ored
voters in this city and county; not
enough, however, to demand political
recognition, as an important factor in
our election, but we are a factor in
making up that grand Republican ma
| jority in this city and county and in
! this state. We think it is due our race
for good and faithful service rendered.
think our con6Gat compares favor
ably with any other race of people in
the State of Wisconsin. We are march
ing right along on the lines laid down
by our white friends, to make ourselves
good citizens and good neighbors.
P. D. THOMAS, Racine.

He was elected School Commissioner
one year ago by the Common Council,
and has and still assumes the functions
of that office with great credit
Mr.. Sullivan has the knack of making
all whom he comes in contact with his
friends by his superior literary tastes
and lofty ambitions, and his election
is conceded by the most sanguine of
even the Democratic party, 1T is not
necessary to state that Mr.. Sullivan (on
account of his broad and kind feeling

Petley. Mr.. Kubal is a scholar of
exceptional attainments, graduating
with high class honors in Europe. Con
genial, apt and calculative, possessing
rare business and administrative quail
tiles, he therefore has the requisites
needed for a senator and should be
elected. The Eighth District is strongly
Democratic, but Mr.. Kubal's popularity
among the Polish voters will no doubt
cause bomb to explode in the ranks of
the Democratic party.

No better or fitting man could have
been nominated to represent the people
of the Eighth Senatorial District than
Jacob Kubal. Mr.. Kubal came to this

Pa, nine years and thence to Milwaukee
in 1879, which place was destined to be

Notice to Our Southern Readers.

When in the southern part OF the
United States, we noticed that hundreds
of young colored women, who desired
employment as domestics, could not
secure the same. We also notice that
up in this portion of the country and,
especially, here in Milwaukee, there is
a great demand for colored servant
girls. Any one desiring to obtain work
as a domestic, no matter where your
home is, write to us, at this office, and
we will make for you all arrangements.

H. j. Sullivan, Republican Candidate
for Senator, 2nd District.

HI. Sullivan, candidate for the Sen
ate from the End District, is a citizen
whom one might term self made man.
He was born in Milwaukee, in 1857, OF
Irish parents, attending the public and
parochial schools of this city until IA
years of age.
At that age he began bravely the
struggle of earning his own living, with

Ex-COngressman Lynch Asked Us a
Question.

Il have been told that you have some
colored Democrats in Milwaukee, is that
a fact ?" When we learned who had
told Mr.. Lynch this, we were very much
amused, for it came from colored
man who is of no good to himself or any
body else, and was said 1--WE suppose)
because he could find nothing else to
entertain this gentleman with. Milwau-
kee has no negro Democrats; we know
of only one man who has expressed
himself in such way that one who
doesn't understand might say, he is a
Democrat, but he is NOTHING, pollt1-
cally; he railroads out of this town and
has not been known to cast vote for
anybody for several years, and aside
from that, there are no negro Demo-
Gratis We have negro Republicans,
though, who think their party could
and should do more for our people, and,
thank God, they are not afraid to say so,
and anyone who mistakes their bold,
fearless, outspoken chastisements of the
Republicans for democracy is very
short-sighted person. The Republicans
of Milwaukee know the negroes are Re-
publicans, they also know we propose
to vote the Republican ticket this cleo
ton, then why is it necessary to keep
informing them of this fact? We want
to inform them of something they don't
know, and that is, we have intelligent
negroes, and these intelligent negroes
want returns for their support by the
way of positions other than those OF a

Senatorial CaucuSes.

In pleasing contrast to that of the

about the same time, was the conven-
tion of the Eighth District Republicans
in the Colby & Abbot Building, where
Jacob Kubal, of the Fourteenth Ward,

convention to order at o'clock. Dele
gate Strassburger was chosen chairman
and William Meist secretary. Mr.. Volk-
mann, of the Eleventh, presented the
name of Mr.. Kubal, whom he was conf
dent would poll the full Republican vote
and enough votes of the Democrats, who
respected his sterling business ability
to elect him. There was not a mo" when
the question of choosing him by accla-
nation was put.
Ex- Congressman Isaac W. Van Shaick

date of the Fourth Senatorial District
last Monday evening, held in the Colby

H. Sullivan, president of the Fourth
