George J. Sternsdorff's First Son a Godson
of Bryan.
Chicago News.
|. George J. Sternsdorff has been appoint
ed sergeant-at-arms of the national DEM
ocratic headquarters at the annex.
When he applied to Senator Jones and
told that worthy that he was the first
man in the United States to name a baby
after William J. Bryan the argument was
simply irresistible. 1.-The logic of the Sit
uation" dawned upon Senator Jones like
fiashight. Mr. Sternsforff was a candi-
date for the legislature on the ticket with
Candidate Bryan the year the latter
made his first race for congress and man
aged the Bryan campaign. Mr.. Bryan
was godfather to Mr.. Sternsdorff's first
son. The friendship between the two
men continued after Mr.. Sternsdorff
came to Chicago. The new sergeant-at-
arms bears a striking resemblance to
Uncle Arson of baseball fame.

the audience to give the general a re-
spectful hearing, but it was several min
utes before the audience quieted down
enough for the general to remark with
considerable feeling that he would not
speak unless the people desiredeto hear
him. The mention of Cleveland was also
literally applauded.

devoted himself almost exclusively to
financial issues

Baltimore, Md, Sept. 16.-President r..
Curzon Hoffman of the Seaboard Air
Line said today that after consulting
with the legal department of the system
he had decided that the injunction of
United States Judge Speef ordering the
roads engaged in the rate war to restore
the tariff in effect September did not
apply to his line, as the rates 1t has
been and is now quoting conform with
the laws.
"While the Seaboard Air Line is men,
toned in the ORDER" said Mr.. Hoffman,
1.-The injunction IS really directed at the
Southern Railway company and its al
lies whose reduced rates apply only to
points in competition with the Seaboard.
while our tariff applies to all PORTS on
the system. Therefore II will not be nee
essary for us to withdraw our rates."

A Black Kick Against the White Shield.
The following card from colored repub-
licans explains itself:
To the Republicans of Alabama
The undersigned beg to inform repub-
lican voters of the state of an additional
outrage perpetrated on the colored men,
bers of the party by what was formerly
known as the white league but at
this day and date is known as the White
Shield, whose fundamental principles
and laws is to exterminate all races ex-
cept the Caucasian. At the last meeting
of the state republican committee the
chairman was authorized to appoint a
campaign committee composed of five
members of the party. His obstinate re-
fusal to appoint any colored man ON said
committee constrains US to the belief that
the chairman. Hon. William Vaughan, is
a menber of the white Shield
We, as loyal and true republicans, pro-
test against the racial lines as drawn by
him, it being one of the fundamental
principles of the party to not debar in
any way any nationality when compe-
tency, worth and fitness can be found
No one can deny but that there are hum
dreds OF negroes in this state who fill
the measure of requirements as fully as
anyone who has been appointed We
call upon you to be alert and watchful of
your political interests, for white men in
Sleeps clothing are using every effort
within the party to destroy us politically.
Men whom we have voted for and called
to high places a re using their offices to
bring degradation and political humilia-
ton on our heads. We reluctantly but
earnestly advise that the leadership of
the men appointed be disregarded and
we look forward to leadership amongst
ourselves in the impending election. We
also ask that in your locality you hold an
Indignation meeting and denounce these
members of the white Shield" and have
the same published in some newspaper.

not discussed by the committee.
sol III tot a. 1,
that while the matter was not discussed
by the comntttee as body, it was taken
up as kind of side line" and the con-
census of opinion was to move slowly in
the matter, as the boiling democrats had
not taken any official action as yet look
Ing towards a fusion or a compromise on
one ticket, and until steps We're taken by
them in that direction the republicans
could not consistently make any over
lures.
1t was also remarked that If the bolt
ing democrats would make the PROPOSE
ton to cast their vote for Mckinley in
case it develops there is no hope to elect
Palmer an agreement can be reached.
Otherwise the republicans will act indie
pendently in the matter.
