NEGRO DEMOCRATS.

Negro democrats like negro srepub-
Iicans are neve~ at ease unless they
are fighting among themselves.
This fight among the two faction
Of the colored democracy has In
lured them. There is no DOUBT but
that Mr.. Cleveland is already dis,
gusted, it looks 80 at any rate,
The colored so-called democrat
made their mistake when they ats.
tempted to appose the present bly
flattery. Long before the Pres :
dent thought about appointing a
negro, conferenc was called and
resolutions of commendatory
character were adopted, they were
full of hypocracy and deception
Among ouher things the resolution
asserted that the negro democrats
were satisfied in which the Presi-
dent was makeing app intment,
but one appoln ment of a negro
had been made at a time. 1t was 9
gentle reminder and no d oubt the
President concluded that 1t would
take but little to satisfy the col
ored braves. This fight among ol
ored democrats will end ia their
getting nothing, ifit continue
What they can hope to get now is a
question OF gravecon siderat1on
among them.
