THE days and events of the great
civil war are revived by the dedication
n Philadelphia last week Wednesday Of
statue of General Mcclellan. "Little
Mac :" won this affectionate title by his
early success in the field in clearing
West Virginia of the rebels. The
people were yearning for a hero, and
Mcclellan appeared at the right time
to fiji this demand. He was caressed,
idolized and spoiled. His failure to
meet even the reasonable expectations
of the country in coping with the forces
of the rebellion, the disastrous out
come Of the peninsula campaign, with
its long series of fearful battles and
tremendous sacrifices, weakened public
confidence and revealed man of COM
mon clay when his countryman of the
North would feign have seen a demi-
god. The negative results OF Antie-
Jams awful fight ended his career and
fame as a general. The place in its
heart grateful country was eager TO
give military hero and savior was won
by the less pretentious Grant, to whom
Richmond yielded its Notifications and
lee his sword. And still it cannot be de-
MED that Mcclellan did his country some
great service, before other and more
aggressive leaders had been developed
and for this he deserves the statue and
grateful remembrance.

Editor PEOPLES FRIEND:
Upon reading your last issue no
uced the remarks made by David Over
myer. the Democsatic nominee. Those
insolent remarks should be considered
by the Colored people of this state.
You can see how much the Democrats
and Pops care for the black man, win
YOU let such a man become Governor?
The COl0red man is as honorable as
the white man. and his equal in every
respect. 1t makes me indignant to
think of such man attempting to be
in society with human beings and want
ING to be Governor, If the COlOred
people stick to the Republican party
and vote straight we will have no Gov
ernor who docs not think the ignor-
ant voice of the Negro should be heard
in this government SO far as legislation
and voting are concerned" Again |
say any Negro who votes for David is
lacking in discretion and is not worth
| the powder and shot 1t would take to
kill him. Hold up your true colors and
come to the front. You are able to
stand your ground against such igno-
minious remarks. If ever cast IA vote
it will be for the Republican party. If
were in David.s presence | should call
him contemplate cur. but AS | am
not I'll say no more about him. The
Negroes must keeptheir eyes open and
not let him slip through the keyhole.
