June MoULgy IN PoLITICs AGAIN.-Iu
The Columbia State Of last Saturday we
found the proceedings of a negro Conven-
ton held in that city the night before and
called to order by that oli Radical negro
politician June Noblcy, so we'll known in
Union county as political tirc-5rand during
the good stealing time of negro domination
in this State. The following is the charac-
tcriStic speech Of Mobicy on opening the con-
vention:
lie sail. it Sccmcl strange for colored
men to assemble ut - late day; they &C.
know re that they had been asleep. lie
had looked ever the situation and he had
come 10 the conclusion that it was suicide
To themselves and their chil:rcn 10 remain
asleep lie had noticed the methods of the
people in power. who cared nothing for them
but for their taxes aud labor. lie wanted
everybody to know that June Mohley vas
no; satisfied with the government ms ii was.
lie had prayed, ard then he felt it was his
duty to go to every man aud catch him 10y
the shoulder and wake him. They had been
going backward, lie said that John Gary
Evans had won his applause by saying that
no race OF people was any race at all unless
they participated III politics. The great need
of their race was to think. Nc are no. here
to defeat the present nominees, but wo want
some share in The government and want to
let all know that we are dissatisfied with the
past government. 1t WAS the duty of the
color,d people, he s'ii, to pay eff and dis
charge ministers who would not lead them
TO h. ballot box IA well ~ to heaven. He
wanted TO be q brUkcn-down politician
rather than II "tack-out polit clan. lie
had nothing to say against MIR. Sloan.
While The object of the convention appears
to be cDntuei to affect the municipal gov
crnmcn,, we sincerely hope the white peo-
pc Of that city, irrespective Of party nfilia-
zion. will completely sc'tch the move that it
will not te able TO inject its poison into State
and County 20 itics again.
