In the face OF the most vexatioux cir

The A. u. A. Ticket.

The intelligent voters of Anaconda
clearly understand the facts relative
TO the A. II. \. ticket 1t was nomin-
ated at a convention called by the loo al
leader of the \. II. ~, and attended
by the local lodge of ths 4. T. A. 1t
was termed in the call republican
convention, but although few repub.
licans who are not members of the 4.
j. y. were present, the large majority
of the republican leaders, the repub-
lican business men, the rank and lille
OF the republican party, refused to at
tend, openly announcing that they
would have nothing whatever to do
with it because they knew it was to
be, as it was, an 4. =. \. affair.
The ticket nominated at this
convention was one framed to suit
the y. p. AS. They are max.
ing a hard fight for il, every man
of them has his coat off and is working
day and night with fanatical zeal. II
this ticket wins, the \. T. As will
claim II as their victory, and well they
may. They and their friends vail
then be in control of this city. Ii is
idle to deny it. \ very large and hon
orable class Of our citizens will, in
the event OF \. 7. \. success.
be- disfranchised from holding any
Office under the city government.
What difference does it make whether
all the candidates on the A., r. \
ticket are members Of the 4. H. a. or
not? If thess gentlemen are elected
they Will have the \. T. AS 10 thank
for 1t. They will be under the deepest
obligations TO the \. i. y, and the 4
T. \. VIII expect and receive recognI-
ton accordingly.
The election Of the 4. =. 4. ticket
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1895-03-28

the whole country averages OF the
whites alone. The value of the farms
and homes held by the colored people
may be comparatively small, but it
must be remembered that thirty year s
ago the whites had all the property of
the country.
All this speaks we'll of negro enter
prise and thrift, but it is undoubtedly
true that a large portion of the colored
race is dissatisfied and is casting about
for better things. A steamer load of col
ored people left southern port the
other day for Liberia and others are to
follow. Senator Morton of Alabama
thinks the exodus will increase so rap
idly in proportion that the time will
soon come when the general govern
ment will take the matter up officially
and aid in the deportation of the ne
groes. He intimates that there is a
widespread feeling among the colored
people in the South in favor of going
to Africa. He says that the general
wish of the whites in the South is that
the negro should 60, as there would
then be more work at better wages.
But emigration must reach formida-
BILE proportions to accomplish much
good. The colored population of the
United States increased from some
thing over 3000,00 in 1850 to nearly
1900, 900 in $780, and 1t will take good
many steamer loads to make per-
ceptible impression.

Negro Statistics.

An extra census bulletin just is
sued shows what progress the colored
people of the country arS making.
When it is borne in mind that thirty
years ago the colored race started
without dollar, the figures become
very interesting and suggestive. Ac-
cording TO the census of 1890 there are
1850, l52 homes and farms in this
country, and of these 1,lS6, ia are &C.
cupied by pure blacks and POI, 595 by
persons of mixed color OF the ne
groes 207.6l6 own their homes or
farms, and 97S. 55S rent them. and of
persons of mixed color 56,672 own
while l61 1923 rent As the negro race.
mixed and pure, constitutes about one
eighth OF the population of the United
States, it Will be seen that il has its
full share of homes aud farms About
eight-ninths of the real estate owned
by colored people is free from debt,
while only one-ninth is encountered.
This is much higher percentage than

The Davis will case is believed to
be finally settled. There is said TO be
still possibility that some of those
who think they are entitled to a slice
of the estate, and who under the terms
of the present agreement won't get it,
will raise objection to the plan and
precipitate more litigation. But the

of the department of agriculture that

increase the respect people have for
congressman as a rule. The secretary
has actual proof in several instances,

classes must feel it. The A. p. a.
ticket should be beaten, and it will be.
