Louise Engle young contralto singer of
distinctive merit and remarkable sweet
ness, richness and ipurity of voice. She is
young and has a voice completely fresh
and flawless throughout. The other men,
bers of the celebrated quartette are Miss
Martha Garrison Miner, very brilliant
soprano of the Rossini school, whose voice
is likewise pure and fresh; c. c. Ferguson,
q famous New York tenor, and Bowman
Ralston, deep resonant basso from the
Carl Rosa Opera company in England.
The solo and concerted portion of the pro-

AT THE THEATERS

This evening the Academy of Music will
open its doors to the public for the first
time this season, when George Thatcher's
company will present about Gotham"
The house was lighted up on Saturday
night and representatives OF the press in
spected it upon the invitation Of Manager
Burgunder. The house is greatly changed
and presents handsome and attractive
appearance; one of the most noticeable
features being the homeike cosiness. The
stereo-relief decorations in the entrance
way lobby and auditorium are beauti-
full, and the effect under the
glare of the gaslight is pleasing The
aisles are wider and handsomely carpeted,
and the seats have been set farther apart
and built upon raised platforms. The
painting is bright and the scenery new.
The proscenium arch is set off with an
idyllic painting, adding very materially to
the beauty of the stage decorations. Two
new sets of scenery will grace the stage,
and two new sets of parlor furniture, one
of white and the other Of light blue trim
ming.

"About Gotham with which George
Thatcher will reopen the Academy to-
night is new minstrel farce comedy,
similar in construction and, but entirely
new in subject, story, location and idea to
Tuxedo" With the knowledge gained
by experience Mr.. Thatcher was able to
advise the author, Harry w. Emmett, in
his general construction of the play, to
the end that the minstrel features are
consistently introduced, and form a part
Of the plot. Such has been the merited sue
cess of all Of Mr.. Thatchers productions

On the subject of immigration the
report says: The widespread spirit

THE GEORGIA EXPOSITION.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 23.-At-
lanta has invaded Washington, not
en- mass exactly, but by large dele
CATION of her leading men. With
them came representatives of nearly
all the large cities in the south. They
arrived Monday evening and was
followed on Tuesday by large dele
cation of the colored people, the whole
movement being in the interest of the
cotton. States and International Ex-
position Company, which is organ
izing the griat exposition of 1895 at
Atlanta. Ga. Their bill introduced
by Mr.. Livingstone, provides that the
United States shall send to the exposi>
ton all those articles from the Smith
scnian institution, the fsh commits
sion and National museum which
were sent to the Chicago Worlds fair
and great many other things; also
that all the articles imported for the
sole purpose Of exhibition shall be
free of tariff duties, that the govern
ment will provide the proper building
aud care takers for its property there,
and finally that medals with appro>
pirate devices commemorative of the
exposition and for awards shall be
prepared by the United States mint
at cost. The amount of money which
the government is to expend in this
performance is left blank. "There is
one feature of this scheme that
ought to be widely advestised," said
Mr.. Livingstone in the course of
lengthy talk explaining his bill "and
all Americans ought to be interested in
it, and that it is the arrangement to
show the progress of the colored race
in every department of activity.
Bishop Gainea, Bishop Turner and
other prominent colored men are act
i've in this work, and we think that
the colored peoples building will be a
very interesting and attractive feature
of the affair. OF course it will be the
greatest thing of the sort ever accom-
plished, for really nothing worth
mentioning has yet been done in that
line, and the colored people of Georgia
are, as we think, rather ahead of
those in any other state or country"

BROWN WITHDRAWs,

John Al. Brown is 40 longer q
candidate for auditor Of state. AT
the eleventh hour the Colonel conclu-
des to back down. Things" did not
90 right in the selection OF delegates
from Shawnee county to the state
convention; that is "things" did not
suit the colonel, and hence he leaves
the race, and there is no end of talk
As to the Why and wherefore.
Without discussing Mr.. Browns
right to be candidate Or decline, we
wish to say that bis action in the
present campaign (?) has not been
consistent with man who really
sought the nomination. He has not
made single speech. He has not
written single political letter, so be
says. He has not officially announced
himself through the press as a candi-
date, and yet he has allowed the i'm
preston to generally obtain through
out the state that he was candidate.
a few Of bis friends, overzealous
peohaps, gathered number Of them>
selves together and endorsed the
ColonePs candidacy. And here the
matter stopped. Nothing farther was
cone Or said. And now, just eighteen
days before the convention, he with
draws from the race and leaves the
field. This is what to us seems srange.
Mr.. Brown has either fooled Or toyed
with his henchman or he and thew
have maliciously stood il the way of
other Negroes who did not want to
fight him and who sought to obtain
harmony in the ranks of the republic
an party and the race. 1t would have
been more manly had Mr.. Brown de-
clined to make the race when he was
endorsed" and then some other
Negro could have been selected. But
at the eleventh hour he gets "mad"
at the Shawnee county delegate con-
vention and withdraws.
We are in favor Of right and fair
play. We are imecuivocaily opposed
to ring politics. We fail to see the
eternal fitness Of this action on the
part Of the Colonel. IF he was the
choice Of the Negroes Of this state, he
should not allow his personal illfeeling
toward a county convention" to deter
his duty. But this thought, as we
expressed it in our issue Of the 18th,
seems to have been decidedly correct:
"There seems to be one thing, how
ever, Of which there is no doubt.
Bruce will fight Brown to finish. An
other thing which seems equally cer-
tain is that the friends Of Rrown will,
under no circumstances, support
Bruce. The result is very clear.
Neither will be nominated"
The Kansas blackman., 1894-05-25

We are pleased to note that E. P,
Greer, Of Winfield, is a candidate for
nomination as congressman-at-large,
We have personal acquaintance with
Mr.. Greer, having been in bis employ
as a printer in 1886. He comes from
a broad, liberal. fair minded family.
His brother, Hon. F. III. Greer, who
is member Of the Oklahoma legisla-
ture, has been true friend Of the Ne
groes in that territory, end for years
the Greer "boys" have championed
the cause ofright and justice, regard
less Of color, in the southern part of
Kansas. IF Mr.. Greer ever sits in
congress the Negro will have friend
at court.

PUT A NEGRO ON THE TICKET.

In the first issne of THE BLACKMAN
we urged the wisdom of putting a
Negro on the republican state ticket.
We come now to the eve Of the day
of battle and still insist that the
wisdom Of republican success argues
IN favor Of that course. We are not
! among that number who believe that
a Negro on the republican ticket will
drive any great number of white
voters from the party. We have a
higher opinion Of republicanisn. We
believe the principles of republican
ism are broader than this idea would
suggest. To party which fought for
the equality of mankind, "regardless
of race, color or previous condition"
we attribute more patriotism and
fairness. We have always believed
that the disposition to treat the Negro
fair and just by white men was to be
found chiefly in the ranks of republic
anism. We believe the republicans
of Kansas will be fair toward the
Negro. We also believe that it is only
fair to give the Negro a place on the
state ticket. That the Negro has
always been loyal republican no one
denies, and none deserve more than
the loyal.
The accursed conditions prevalent in
Kansas today as a result of the defeat
of the republican party in '92 is what
should be looked at and the questson
of a mans color need not enter into
the issue farther than giving repre-
sentation to peculiarly distinct
element of the republican party. There
hould be no color tn political parties.
The republican party is the party of
the people and, as such, rises high
above the narrow limitations of the
southern bulldozer, who recognizes in
the Negro only something on a
parallel with chattels. Let there be
an honest effort on the part of the
Negro delegates to place a Negro on
the state ticket. In standing up FOR
The Negro the republican party is net
sacrificed, nor the chances for its sue
cess endangered.
Put a Negro on the state ticket.
