coLoRep FITS.

A letter from n cJlored preacher IN the
EvENIRo JOURNAL has thrown the local
colored politicians into fits. The fits are
ungrammatical. illogical and ignorant
silly, in fact but they are fits just the
same. These fits expose them
selves chiefly on the corner Of Third
and King streets where fts receive great
est attention and enjoy the most liberal
enevolence-where,a as a matter Of fact
not to put too fine point to it, fits have
a commercial value
We do not say that fits are the only
things which have commercial value in
that vicinity, anything that Is senseless
goes there. but we do say that black
man going there with fast-black, Bach
it can give Il away, without any cost for
publ cation, at once
In proof Of this we refer to one of the
letters Of J. T. B., filter, who has been
replying voluminously TO the letter in
the EVENING JOURNAL by DIR. Heard.
This fit producer has appeared frequently.
He Is an adept at 6ts He can have them
st any time and they 60 at the market
rate Of stuff or fits, into the hopper at
Third and King as fast Gs 4.11.44 gig
goes at a meeting Of colored deacons.
Replying to DR.. Heard this filter says -
As far as the church is concerned, we
don't say anything against Rev. DR.
Heard or his wife. But we say, II he
upholds the Democratic party, he is no
good 10 US or to his race.
We cannot quote more Of the unutter-
able rot That is sample. We cannot
tell what It means Nobody can. The
editor does not explain It. He evidently
could not edit II so as TO convey sense.
The paper which the majority of the
Republicans Of this city and state read is
full Of such political fits Amazing and
startling rs it is, such is the meat on
which the Republicans Of this city feed
Men laugh at It and repeat contemptu
GUS gibes sgaInst it; but among Repub
licsns and throughout one branch OF the
Christian church, it goes. Astonishing
amazing humillating as II is this un-
grsmmstic, illogical, ignorant collection
Of political and religious fits, OF all
colors, is the standard OF political aud
religious faith Of Delaware Republican
ism, compared with which the Morning
New is not in 1t, no matter how en-
ergetically it tries TO be silly.
Now the cause Of all this is that DR..
Heard said:
We would not have you class us sll as
cattle huddled together aud driven by
men and parties as they may direct II
any party must live by condoning the
crimes Of the criminals among us
It's life is indeed shoit. Our vote is not
secured by such, bat as are the votes oil
white men. II Is not true we all vote fol
one party any longer We pay our taxe'
aud vote as men and not as slaves. Nc
Cleveland received thousands of negro
votes aud these turned the scales ia sew
eral close states But they would gladly
do this again for be has proven himself
the true friend Of the oppressed Hi
policy concerning Hawaii has endeareC
him TO the thinking negro regardless o.
bis politics. The negro press, religious
and secular, Democratic aud Republican
have been loud In their praises Of him.
Neither the editor nor the letter itter
have been able TO say anything to contro
vert those statements. They have beef
able only to utter hapdoodle nonsense
such as We have quoted above
Nobody cannot argue against that
one may say merely, that the negro will
not advance in Intelligence till he get
into better company than he enjoys II
Delaware now
