RECORDER TAYLOR INDoRsED.

The Negro Democratic Congressional
Club met with the District League in
convention last Tues. eve, and elected
the following delegates to the Indian
apois convention: c. J.. Barnes, NJ. S.
koonce, and @. 5. Wormley.
The following resolutions were unan-
imously adopted:
''Resolved. That we indorse the ad-
ministration of the greatest President
this country has ever seen, Grover
Cleveland. If the Democratic party
would follow his lead without questio
or hesitation, they would remain in
power for the next quarter of century.
Resolved, That every citizen of the
United states must be educated and
the government must see to it that no
foreigner is admitted to citizenship
who is unable to read and write, at
least his own language The riotous
and law breaking foreign ner must not
receive as good treatment as the lOyal
and patriotic citizens OF this country
Especially must this be remembered
when dealing with the black voters.
Every school house erected calls for
one less Jail, cne less poorhouse, one
less military company. All the ills
atfiicting our country must really be
charged to ignorance.
Resolved, That it is the iwork of the
Democratic party to really free the
people, not only from burdensome tax
alton, but from that sort of absurd and
foolish caste prejudice which holds a
man back on account of his color.
Resolved, That We instruct our dele
gates to the indianapolis league con-
vention to vote first, last and all the
time for the reelection Of our brave
and intelligent leader of negro Dpmoc-
racy, Ii n. c. H. J. Taylor.
Resolved, That this, the District Ne
gro Democratic League, subordinate
20 tie Negro National Leagnr, indorse
c L Barnes Tor Distrc; chairman,
and NJ S. kOonce for district secreta
ry, and we call upon the new national
league president to appoint them.
Resolved, That the attention of the
heads OF the various Departments be
called to the dissatisfaction now exist
ing among the Negro Democrats, Ow-
ing to the fact that the appointments
which have been made are inferior to
the capabilities OF the appointees. The
dissatisfaction has been caused from
the fact that the heads of the various
Departments show studied letermina-
ton not TO recognize the negro Demo-
crat above d laborer. SO fragrant has
this treatment of the negro Democrats
become, that the Republicans are US
ing it for campaign purposes.
Resolved That &. FL. j. Taylor, lead
er of the colored Democracy, call the
attention Of the heads OF the Depart
ments and Congressional Committee to
these facts. so that some immediate
remedy may be applied.
Resolved. that in consideration OF
the very liberal treatment accorded
colored passengers by the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, it is recommended
that favorable consideration of coored
delegates attending the National Ne
gro Democratic League Convention al
lndial ap Ills the second Tuesday in
August.
Resolved, that this club indorse the
action of President Cleveland and the
Secretary of War in ordering troops to
the districts at present affected by riot
Gus disturbances. 1t is not only tn,
right but the duty of any man to quiz
work when he feels that he is not re-
ceiving aproper collateral for such SER
vice, but we dispute the right of any
person to prevent by force the accept,
ance OF such labor by any one else who
might feel disposed to take it.
