Several of the Afro-Americans
who were apparently strong sup,
porters of F. G. Mccartney, were
seen hanging around the demo
cratic city convention. They are
known to be men capable Of double
dealing. Two Of them were min
isters-one of whom did not know
G. G. Loomis, and asked for an
introduction to him Immediately
after the nomination. 1t was un-
fortunate for Mr.. Mccartney to
select some of the Afro-American
lieutenants that he did. They
were not as honest with him as
men who openly and honestly op-
posed him. We venture the asser-
ton that these lieutenants will be
found making noise for Loomis
and the democratic city ticket if
the right kind of tonic" is admin
istered.

Suppose they were imported (fol

from the "American Afric Isles. ,
Personally we have been spared
the pain Of an acquaintance with
this peculiar people, except in a
single instance. We have (and
here we apologize for our stupidity
in not escaping this special curse)
met the editor of their weekly or
gan, and if they all look like him,
or act, talk and write as he does,
they are indeed objects of pity and
should be looked after by the g. Q.

with nearly all Of the Negroes of

warn them of the contaminations
of these peculiar monsters, who 60

are desperate, untamed and ought
to get civilized before you associ-
ate with them.
This peculiar race object to
everything that goes other than
as they dictate. Until March II
they were strong republicans.
They worshipped w. B. Allison
and J. S. Clarkson; they loved All.

democracy and became frantic
whenever they saw the word ''nig-

express their adherence for Ali

Mahaska, spell S'nigger" with a
big n and increasingly pray for
the curses of destiny to fall upon
the republican party nationally,
stately, Polk countyly and Des
Moinesly.
In their wrath last Friday they
published sixteen falsehoods about
the republican state convention
and the managers thereof. They
claimed that there was no senti-
ment for G. r. Foster among the
Negroes of Iowa, and boldly
hurled insult in the teeth of every
Negro in Mahaska county and the
Sixth district by their unwarranted
and i'll advised attacks.

THE CITY TICKET.

Elsewhere we publish the entfre
republican ticket, nominated March
81. The meeting was held in the
Tabernacle, and was witnessed by
1900 people. The utmost har-
mony prevailed. Mr. Mccartney
withdrew his name as candidate
for mayor and John Mac Y icar was
chosen unanimously. Other can
didates were paid the same high
compliments. The democrats did
not get the anticipated consolation
out Of the proceedings of the con
vention. During the campaign
there were Mccartney men and
MacVicar men, but now that the
convention has been held all true
republicans are MacVicar men.
The factional fight within the party
was earnest and sometimes bitter,
but now that factional fight is over
shadowed by the more important
duty of electing the entire ticket.
The strong men Of the party have
declared their willingness to carry
the ticket on to victory. In the
language of the immortal Thomas
Paine, ''the summer soldier and
sunshine patriot will fade from the
service of his country (or party.
An earnest support of the ticket
is demanded of every republican.
A half-hearted support will prove
more detrimental than an honest
opposition. It seems proper now
for those clubs-which have been
SO rent by the factional fight Of the
past few weeks-to get together
and show that they are repub-
licans who are willing to abide by
the decision of the majority. There
were honest men on both sides.

Editor Bystander Sir: l see an
article in your paper Of no small
Importance to the Negroes OF
owa-'No Negro Need Apply"
The article voices the sentiment,
not only Of the Negroes of Iowa,
but every loyal man of the race
will catch the sound and hurl it
back to their enemies. Iowa
wrapped herself in shame and dis
grace. Seventeen thousand Ne
gro voters led as lambs to the
slaughter. Allison, a candidate
for president, and yet is to be
elected by the people, but it seems
the Negro republicans of Iowa
are not recognized as such.
Your cause is a just one; your
battle is a race battle. The man
hood of the race has been trampled
upon at a time when the eyes of the
world were turned upon you. We
have thousands Of brave soldiers
that fell like grass before the scythe
for equality and justice to all men.
The foreigner will be represented,
though unable to speak the En-
glish language, but the Negro will
be barred.
The Lily Whites Of the south
concede more than Iowa, and yet
Allison is seeking to be president!
If people that urge him to be pres
ident refuse to recognize the Negro
in RABLIE they not influence
him WALL G0Ainto sit down

SULLIVAN HEARD FRO M.
He Has Forfeited the San Antonio
BASEBALL Franchise.


The baseball editor of the LIGHT
received letter from Ted Sullivan
yesterday, dated Washington, jan
uary 6, in which he says he has
forfeited the San Antonio fran6hise.
The matter was reported to Mr.. J.
]. Stevens, president of the San
Antonio Baseball association, who
said he would notify the directors
of Sullivan's short-Eorse actions.
Mr.. Stevens said the association
had entirely depended upon Sulli-
van to place team in this city,
but could not say what would be
done since Sullivan went back on
his promise. The rooters are in
dignant at Sullivan's actions. AS
the matter stands now, it is not
vet known whether San Antonio
will have ball team this season

Texas. with his brother, who died from
the disease not long ago, and the health
authorities of that city passed him along
toward the Pacific Coast. His ticket, with
which they provided him, gave out at Ell
Paso and he was given another by the peo-
pie OF that place. 1t carried him to Los
Angeles, where the lynx-eyed Board OF
Health caught him and it was a toss-up
between their pesthouse and San Fran
CISCO. This City won, as usual, and an
other ticket was given him, which brought
him here.
Pepalou does not use the Goto remedy,
but preparation which he first procured
at Hot Springs, Colo. The prescription is:
Strychnine, 1-150 of a grain; chlorate of
potassium, ~ drachms; oil of aconite.
10 drops; distilled water, 1 quart; dose,
from 2 to tablespoonsful three times
day. He says this treatment is curing
him rapidly, and that his body, once COW
cred with the pustui>5 of true leprosy, is
now clear of all evidences OF the plague.
The patient is desirous OF returning TO
Honolulu that he may join his brother
and sister. at the leper colony on the island
OF Molokai.
Mr.. Benjamin is so far encouraged by
the efficacy of the japanese remedy that
at the next meeting of the Board of Super
visors he will bring up the subject and try
to have years supply of the Goto drugs
purchased in Yokohama for the use of the
lepers here. He believes that $500 will be
ample for that purpose. There is enough
of the remedy remaining at the Pesthouse
to last two months.
