BISHOP BROWNS ADVICE.
He Says CIveland is the Only President
Who Ever Recognized Negroes.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 15.-Bishop
Brown, of the African Methodist
chuch who has just come out for Cleve-
land, has written an open letter to the
members of his church, in which he
discusses the question of which candi-
date the negro should support. He
says:
For nearly thirty years we have
done all we could to make the Repub-
llcan party successful. We have yot-
ed and some of our people have died
for its progress. But now the ques-
tiOn is being asked by large num-
Der of us, How are we being benefited
by our adherence to it? The chalice
is put to our lips, but il is made to
vanish before one comfort comes to US.
'Our men are sometimes nominated
for office, their names sent to the SEN
ate. but before the Senate has time to
act the name is withdrawn"
He thea contrasts this with Mr..
Cleyeland'S course in nominating Mr..
Mathews for register OF deeds in Wash
ingtOn and his inSiStence on the NOM
nation until he was shown that the
Republican Senate WhOuld not con-
firm him. OF Mr.. Cleveland he says:
Not long ago he spoke most kindly
ment toward colored citizens. | was
told by gentleman in New York-at
| one time chief of the Indian bureau, a
man of wealth and social position, a
Democrat, Southerner by birth and
education and an eX-slave- holder
| that he had been assured by Mr.. Cleve-
| land that ifelected President he would
prove himself as true to the interests
of colOred men as any man who might
| be elected.
.'The question comes to us, What is
oar duty in casting our ballot. if we
vote at all? For Mr.. Cleveland or for
| the person who has no pronounced
| opinion for the colored man only on
election day? 1t is not social equality
we ask for, but we do ask that we be
treated fairly.
Il now appeal to you, dear brethren,
| to think before you act, and do not
act so as to engulf us in other and
more severe difficulties. If you can
not consistently vote for Mr.. Cleve-
| land, then stay away from the voting
| precinct. The time has come for us
to act, and act decidedly"
| Bishop Brown says he has talked
with many intelligent negroes and
finds much feeling in the matter, all
taking his views.

IN TENNESSEE
Colored People Declare Their Political
Independence

Alta mass-meeting of negroes in
Memphis few days ago, resolutions
were adopted in which they declared:
Experience has taught us that our
continued allegiance to the Republi-
can party locally will be detrimental
to our further prosperity, We have
been excluded from the council cham
bers of the said party. They have
virtually told us we should be obedient
to their commands. We do the yot-
ing and safer the reprOach and con-
tumely, yet we are debarred from any
privileges as members of said party.
Therefore, we believe that our affilia-
tion with said party locally forebodes
evil to us. These political fossils
who arrOgate themselves to be lead
els desire to use us for the further
ance of their purposes and their own
ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
Thirty years of devotion and loyal
ty have been actually thrown away,
enemies have been made and our pros
perity impeded through our blind de-
VOtiOn.
Resolved, That we do hereby re-
nOunce our allegiance to the local
Republican party, and declare our
selves free and independent voters of
Shelby county,"

A REPUTATION
OF Fields Foul SIanders Against Rob
ert e. Lee.

From the Charlottesville. Va, Progress.
Mr.. J. w. Fodes, of this city, who
was one of Gen. Lees cOuriers, says
he can. procure affidavits of thirty
men in this county to prove the falsity
of the insinuation of Gen. Field, Third
party candidate for Vice-President,
that Gen. Lee either encouraged or
allowed any depreciation to be COM
mitted by his soldiers while in Penn
sylvania. His orders were rigidly en-
forced and all damage to private prop
erty was punished whenever reported.
$50 particular was he," said Mr..
Rhodes, that on one occasion while
passing through Pennsylvania, Gen.
Lee came upon several of his soldiers,
among them certain officers, who were
in cherry trees satisfying their hun
ger. Gen. Lee stopped, and calling a
courier, sent to the owner of the
cherries to ask permission before he
would touch one of them. The lady
of the house not only consented but
on hearing that General Lee had
made the request, sent waiter of
fruit to the Confederate chieftain and
went in person to extend the permis-
sion asked. Any statement that car
ries the idea that General Lees con-
duct in Pennsylvania was other than
honorable is the baseSt kind of false
hood"

THE COLORED MEN RALLY,
Rev. II. III. w. Leak Urges the Election
ofFitts and Crews.

The court house was filled Thursday
night to its utmost capacity with col
Ored men who went to hear Rev. r.
III. W. Leak, of Greensboro, discuss
the political issues of the day.
His speech was delivered with great
force and effect. He said he under
stood that there was division among
the cOlOred voters of the county,
caused by designing men, who were
office seekers. He abused such men,
declaring that they were enemies of
his race.
He said that he also understood that
the mass convention which was called
at the court house for the purpose of
nominating county officers was chang
ed into delegative convention after
the people assembled for a mass con-
vention. This could not rightfully he
done according to the plans of organi-
Zation of the party. He then asked
the crowd whether it was true and
being answered affirmatively he said
it was the privilege of any citizen in
the county to be a candidate.
He claimed that his people should
exercise race pride, and respect
themselves if they deserved to be res
pectable, and that they should assist
honor and trust; they should patron
iZe each other in business and remain
united, for united they would stand,
but divided they would fall He also
stated with emphasis that the Negro
could not and would not lose any
thing whatever by the defeat of the
Republican party in the county of
Forsyth.
The speaker held also that it was
the bounden duty of every. colored
man in the county to vote for S. j.
Crews and J. S. Fits, and said the
man who failed to do so would be as one
without brains.
The white Republicans of the coun-
ty persiStently refused to recognize
the colored men politically, except to
beg for their votes just before cleo
tiOn day.
He encouraged and advised his
hearers not to support nor vote for
any man or set of men who will not
support nor vote for a negro under
any circumstances.
He said that his race had assisted
the white Republicans for twenty
seven years in rolling logs, and the
time had abont come when the color
ed man should quit this shaving fol
those who never rewarded him for his
help.
The speakers text was, "Come, let
us reason together" and he seemed tC
have succeeded in reasoning with his
people last night. His words were
listened to attcntively and frequent
ly cheered.
In conclusion he encouraged the
election of the State and Nationa
Republican tickets urginp strenuously
the election of J. S. Fits and S. J
Crews. After adjournment the crowt
gathered around the stand to thanl
| the speaker for his advice.

ably be expected and farmers are anx-
ious to get their crops in shape for
market.
The leaf offered the past week con-
sisted of both old and new. Some of
the better was of fair quality and
showed good body and texture. Some
fine old stock was offered and was
eagerly taken.
Prices on all grades of both old and
new have been fully sustained the
past week. Buyers seem anxious to
take all the stock they can get, and
are evidently willing to pay outside
values for it. Filters are in strong
demand by both home manufacturers
and order men, while wrappers have
gone up perceptibly within the past
two months. 1t looks as if wrappers
will be even scarcer in the new crop
than in the old and as the stock
brought over from the 1890 crop is
about exhausted, it looks as if the fell
lows who hold these goods out to be
pretty well heeled. About all of the
crop is in at this time, and the frost,
which was earlier this year than usual,
did but little injury to the crop in
either the east or west.
Trade in manufacturing circles re-

When almost at the very end of this
pathetic story, the crowd saw that
speaker was going to show that
Weaver's utterances had personal
application to himself, mingled
feelings of compassion and indigna-
tiOn rushed over them, and, as the
last word was uttered a shout went
up which had not time to subside be-
fore it was re-echoed again and again,
and it was several minutes before Mr..
Glenn could resume.
