REPUBLICAN STATE PLATFORM

Reaffrming the Republican national plat
form of 1892
RESOLVED First: That the constant patriot
ism OF onr party is in itself guaranty to the
nation that the interests Of its defenders. their
widows ard orphans. Will be liberia ly cared for
and we dennunce their cruel and deliberate
betrayal ty the present Democratic admins
tratlOn.
SECOND: We adhere to the Republican doc
trine OF protection. and believe that tariff laws
should protect the products OF the farm. as well
as OF the factory.
THIRD: The American people favor bimetal-
lism and the Republican party demands the
use of both gold anc silver as stan lard money
with such restrictions and under snch provis-
ions, to De determined BY legislation, as will
secure the maintenance Of the parity of values
of the two metals. and that the purchasing
and debt paying power Of the dollar. whether
of gold, silver or per. shall be at all times
equal. The interest of the producers of the
country. its farmers and its working men.
demand that the mines be opened TO the coin
age Of the silver OF the mines Of the United
States. and that congress should enact Law
levying tax on impOrtations of foreign silver
sufficient to fully protect the products Of our
own mes.
Fourth We favor national and state legisla-
tion for the announcement OF irrigation.
Fifth: We denonnce the present state admin
tstra.inn alatinp aF tue tasrs an ,.tsfl-
tempt Of the courts the corruption and incOm-
potency Of its officials. its gross mismanage-

diScredit it has brought upon the good name of
the state. And we piedg the Republican party
and the nominees OF this convrntiOn to faith
full and economical discharge Of all official
duties and 70 a strict observance and an honest
enforcement of the laws and to obedience to
the mandates Of the courts.
Sixth: To the maintenance of these prlnci-
pies. we invite the support Of all patriotic
citizens.

In Cumberland county, Tenn, there
are five Negroes who are just as much
slaves as they were before the war,
said Clarence Bum of St. Paul Mimi.
Il few days ago. II stumbled across
them early last week while crossing a
secluded section of the county. The
plantation on which they live is run on
a smaller scale but on exactly the same
principle as it was forty years ago.
The five negroes live in the slave
quarters. just as about thirty colored
men did in the good old times" Not
wages. They are perfectly aware they
are free, but they have kind of philo
sophical appreciation Of the fact that
they were not cut out originally for
tinanciers. From time to time one or
more of them has wandered from the
fold, only to come back half make and
half starved The men are quite con-
tent, and their grumbing is clearly
chronic rather than the result of any
special desire tor a change. The squire
is now a very old man but he orders
his unpaid help around with all the
vim and energy Of a youth, and the
alacrity with which he is obeyed seems
to Indicate to visitors that disobedience
Involves prompt treatment and unplea-
SAINT consequences. The plantation
altogether presents a strikingIy enter
tainlng reproduction Of the South be-
fore the war; and to Judge from the ap-
pearance of the buildings ana outbuild-
lngs scarcely dollar has been spent in
repairs since the issuing Of Lincoln's
famous proclamation. Globe Dem.

THE NEGRO'S OPPORTUNITY

Cke'saces Ia The South For Bettering His
Condition.
Proi B. I. Watson in the Christian Register
ihe roored mans present great
opErEunitv in the South is in
th4> matter of business; and success
hfra IS going to constitute the foun-
dat1Pn for success and relief along
otlgr lines. We need first an indus
trial or busir ess foundation. No one.
not even in the North: cares much a
hont the rights of hungry man. We
OF the negro race are too hungry and
too empty handed to exert much of an
influence. In business what ar our OPP
portunities? The Southern white has
not %4lvanced to the point yet where he
will invite a negro to his prayer meeting
but has advanced to the point where
he will invite him to the stockholders
meeting. as | can prove by nuemrous
examples if a cOlored man wants to bor-
row money on his note or get his note
discounted, in no city of the south does
the color of his face erin. 1t is SIM
PLY question of reliability The black
man Z" this regard is given absolutely
The same showing that the white man
is given. Any cOlOred man with COM
mon sense. a reasonable education and
business ability can take 81 900 in cash
and 90 into anv Southern community
and in five years be worth $1,000. He
does not meet with that stern, relent-
less competition that he does when he
butts up against the Northern Yankee.
The black man can sooner conquer
Southern prejudice than Northern COM
petition. There are 1000 places in the
south where a cOlored man can take
5000 open a brick yard, and, in a few
years grow independents; and when
the colored man sells $4,000 worth of
bricks TO II white man and gets mort
gage on his house. this white man will
not de that Negro away from the
poiis When he sees him going up to
vote; nor will the railroad over which
he ships $25, 200 worth of bricks year
put him into the smoking car.
Land is cheap all over the South
cheaper now than it will ever be again.
Another great advantage that the Ne
gro has in the South. and one that
fear he does not value high enough, is
ir the matter of trades or skilled labor.
Here, again. there is almost no color
line drawn. While | write within a
few yards of me is large printing
office in charge of colored man with
two Southern white printers under
him. who work bv the side of dozens of
cOlOred printers without word of OBJ
lection.

DO UNTO OTHERS rs TOU Would
Hare Them DO Unto You.

The prime thing that Every Colored
man who takes an interest in politics.
should remember is that he must act,
aud not merely criticise the actions of
others. Progress is accomplished by
the man who does the things and no:
ny the man who talks about how they
ought not to be done. we have a
right to ask of those with whom we
associate And from those for whom
we vote representation; national. state
or municipal, and to stand by
the party, and the man in the party.
that is desir0us of standing by yon
is to cirtainly accomplish something,
and if we feel that we have helped to
Elevate the Type of representation
sent to the municipal council state
legislature or to congress from our
respective his district. then we have a
right TO be profoundly satisfied with
what he has accomplished and feel sat
isfed. that he has done good for the
party, and for his fellow man. Such a
man we have in mayor Cox. and we
compliment mayor Cox for doing for
the colored people what no other ma
yor has ever done in the history of the
city of Wichita

THE COLOREO MAN ALL R CHIT.

There great CRY that the colOred men
are going over in droves to the Pop party.
It's all cry apd no wool. The calam-
ity claim is that the Republicans did
mot n asa i.sste- /. sc,z1otct;' Tnan on their
state ticket. The Pop party nominated
only cOlored men, of cOnrse-otf color.
AS for what the Republican conventio
did or did not do. the cOlored candidate
and the Twenty-Five cOIOred delegates
were just as mnch to blame us ANYBODY.
They refused or failed to concentrate
on some well known aud capable man,
Ever Ignoring the fact that the Re
publican ticket is made up Of friends of,

would rot forget his claims. and that the
nominees of the other two tickets have
no use for the colored man. the fact re-
mains that the colored man is politically
a Republican. naturally and inevitable,
Office or no office. The colored man who
would forget or ignore what the Re
publican party has done for him. is lust
the kind of a chap for the Pop party.
The Pop party originated In the south.
among men who think the colored man
is only fit to be a slave. originated with
men whose pas time it is to whltecap,
whip, mob and lynch negroes. Livingston
Polk and that ilk Of Pop organizers love

fashion Of northern Pop. or that

There is one noticeable feature about
the Republican state conventions
throughout the country and that is they
are nominating the strongest tickets
possible and are adopting the best pos
siblc platforms. By SO doing they are
making assurance doubly sure in the
way OF winning decisive victories in
the November elections.

Negroes OF Alabama for help to prevent
Democratic defeat in the State.

Governor recently sent State MALTA to

meeting last Saturday at the office of

the primaries and the county convention
from the 18th and 18th respectively to
the 22rd anb 25th of August. This was
done at the request Of the members of

central comalittee, is receiving reports
each day from Republican meetings over
the state, together with personal letters
from individual members Of the party
all indicating an unusual earnestness and
enthusiasm for the success OF the Re
publican ticket it is not the plan of the
state committee to give ont extrvagant
estimates of the voting strength of the
party, fictitious reports Of great access

outlook is most encouraging, and the III
formation at headquarters is that the
