tiers of the country the same sentiment
is expressed. The World says;

pie, should support MIR. Harrison. that
we are under some kind of obligation,
different from that of other people.
When we demand larger recognition
for the race the question is narrowed

We still insist that the colored people,

that they should feel themselves free to

A POPULAR TARIFF REFoRMER
NOMINATED IN THE FIFTH
DISTRICT.

LILO nt0t'
The Democratic Congressional con-
vention Of the fifth district that met in
this city, on Tuesday last, was in every
sense of the term a representative
body of Americans, purely Democratic
in sentiment, enthusiasm and party
zeal. The nomination did not go beg
ging at any body's door. The names
of several gentlemen who were either
prominent members of the bar or con-
spicious figures in business circles,
were presented TO the convention. by
adherents, passing enconiums upon the
excellencies of the man of their choice,
in befitting word pictures, punctured
with eloquence, sound logic and a
species of confidence, not unlike that
possessed by the great general who
wept because there were no more
worlds for him to conquer.
The honest yeoman of the West, in
go repudiated the tariff barons that
the Republican party had fattened, and
who in turn furnished chunks of fat
for that party to fry. poIluting the
sacredness of the ballot box and al
lowing Dudley with his block of five
project TO defy God. man and the
devil. 1t was then in accord with the
eternal fitness of things, that the people
who have born the burden in the heat
of the day and with their brain and
muscle have transformed these western
prairies and forests into villages, towns
and cities (citadels of civilization)
should no longer worship the Golden
Calf, robber tariff that makes them
the victims of grinding monopolies.
Tuesdays convention was composed
of Tariff reformers but the exigencies
of the occasion demanded that the
standard bearer should be a man who
can face every voter in Hennepin coun-
ty. with clean hands. an untarnished
record in public and private life, and a
man with the ability that will enable
him to expound the principles of De-
mocraey with clearness, distinctness.
and profundity so that there can be
no gairsaying that he is one worthy to
be considered an exponent of great
idea, in this typical educational cam
paign, where nothing but giant intel
lect should be forced to the forum.
The nomination of James w. Law
renee was most happy solution of q
vexed problem. He has lived in this
city for more than quarter of cen
tury. Although young man he has
led the Democracy in many and
well fought battles in this city. He is
an able lawyer, possessed of well
balanced mind. and withal an every
day gentlemen who knows his fellow
townsman in and out Of season. He is
a plain blunt man. He understands
the wants Of the people. and his purse
strings have always been unloosed in
response to any phiIanthropic or ehari-
table demand.
THE NEGRO WORLD. with no affecta-
ton or political gush. ventures a pre-
dict'on that Jimmy" Lawrence will be
the next congressman from this district.
The young men will vote for him; the
workiEgmen know that be is right on
the tariff question and win be found on
his side in this contest; the business
men will vote for him because be is
sound, solid and safe.

cabin and n crew. total of 74O souls
The record of the voyage for sickness
was not serious as compared with the
ships of the line previously quarantined,
though this vessel, it was feared, would
be the banner ship in point of mortality
from the scourge, having sailed from
the plague city on Sept. 3. Thanks to
the vigilance of Captain Schroeder, there
were but fifty-two cases of sickness dur
ing the voyage of twelve days. Of these
eleven died and were buried at sea.
Thirty-seven recovered and four were
still sick when the ship reached port and
were transferred TO Swinburne Hospital.
The causes of death recorded by the
ships surgeon were gastro-enteritis and
padathropia, the former an affection of
the bowels not related to cholera and
the latter sympathetic affection Of the
lymphatic glands, resulting ultimately
in death from inanition.
After his daily tour of all ships in the
lower bay, DR.. Walser reported the re-
suits of his inspection as follows:
Steamship Bohemia-Fifty-two sick
during the voyage and eleven deaths;
four sent to tie hospital.
Steamship eligoland-Supplied with
chloride and disinfection ordered.
Steamship Moravia-All well except
one case of measles.
Steamship Scandia-All well; disin.

Steamship Normannia-Cabin passen-
gers baggage disinfected and removed.
Steamship Wyoming-All well.
Steamship Rugia-Thoroughly cleaned

of the Rugia on board the New Hamp-
