Washington, May 14-The National
Negro Democratic League has through
its president, c. H. J. Taylor Of Kansas
Secretary H. G. Smith of Alabama, and
Chairman of the Executive Committee H
C, c. Astwood of Louisiana, addressed a
letter to President Cleveland upon a ques-

negro democracy in this country
After criticising the Republican party
for its treatment of the negro,
the letter says that the league stood with
the Democratic party when it was routed
in 1888 and those who had received recOg-
milton were promptly chastised and sum
marily dismissed by the successful re
publicans, In the last campaign the
negro democrats lin the face of insults and
injuries of every kind, with his voice, his

The letter recites that the league is
placed in a false light before the country
because of the failure so far to recognize
them in the distribution of patronage,
and asks the President if the places held
by cOlored republicans, who have been
aud are now hostile to the league and the
party with which it is identified, are to
remain longer in the hands of political
enemies. ''To correct this abuse
and to prove to the country
that the Democratic party is true to the
negro, as we'll as to redeem pledges made
during the campaign, the league asks
that speedy recognition be given by the
President to negro democrats, and that
the places now held by negro republicans
be given to the league"

and Ryan were two of that number.
Both Of them desired the craftsmanship
of the aforesaid committee and wele
moving heaven and earth to secure the
same, but Smith proved himself the
greater tactcian of the two and put a
lob" up on Ryan. 1t was mutually
agreed by both Of the gentlemen that
when the vote for chairman came up
each would vote for the other.

was counted Smith had secured foar
out of the five and Ryan only one The

located house in Alameda. There Jesse

he has leased the Gamble residence in the
locality called Piedmont, three miles out

and at the expiration Of their present lease
the Grants expect to have their own resi-

Mexico promise to become very valuable.

As to the historic cabin in Paramount

to remove it TO Chicago and put it under

Indians or met death through sickness or
accident. During the first three or four
years of train service tramps and toughs
and terrors made life burden for all
train conductors, and the small stations
were entirely at their mercy. There were
