For, with all the applause that awaits

But there is a value which no words

To those of us who failed to attend
the St. Louis Convention, it is source
of pleasure to know that the represen-
tatives of Washington, d. c., con-
Quoted themselves in such a manner
as to reflect credit upon the city and
upon the colored race.
The gentleman most unremitting in
activity and most successful in achieve
ment was perhaps, our well-known
young business man, w. H. Nelson, of
1912 N. J. Ave.
In company with his friend I. H.
Ralston, he left this city on the even
ing of May 27th, arriving in St. Louis
the following day. Owing to the re-
cent occurrence of the cyclonic horror,
everything was in condition Of chaotic
confusion Mr.. Nelson set to work in
his usual methodic way and soon
evolved order from ruin.
His gentlemanly bearing and dis
Greet utteranceS, won the highest enco-
NUNS from the iuterviewers. When
the question of providing for the COM
fort of the colored delegates arose, Mr..
Nelson was the first to oppose the fool
ish policy of discrimination and argued
eloquently and effectivelyin behalf of
his friends. At the supper, at Forest
Park rendered by Major Wallach, Mel
son made his great speech, which is
now SO famous. The ST Louis Globe
Democrat published a biographical
sketch of Mr.. Nelson, embellished by
his cut in the issue Of June nth.
He was entertained by the Reform
Club, a colored organization, and by
the Merchants Republican League
Club, (the most influential and aristo-
cratic in Southwest of which Hon.

Editor Chase has the honor of pro-

was fully endorsed by a majority of

A NEGRO PARTY.
From the Ft. Worth, Texas Item }

The Washington BEE is advocating
Negro party. The BEE is original
if anything. Whatever may be the
opinion of such move on first thought,
it is possible that circumstances will
force the Negro to such a course in
his own defence.
The time will soon come when
the condition of the negro will de-
mand that he organize a party of
his own. 1t may look preposter-
Gus, but it is a maxim too true,
that it is not always the greatest
number that wins.
The colored mans condition in
this country is pitiful The white
people are not as much opposed to
the negro as he is to himself. The
color line as drawn is more stonglv
within their own ranks than it is
by the Caucasian.
Let the negro organize.

NOTES.

One of the most enterprislng Afro
American members of the press is Mr..
R. A. Hudlin of the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. He was faithful and cor
rect i'll all of his reports.
The happieSt man on our special

If there was any color prejudice as
we have said before, we didn't come
in contact with it at St. Louis. We
went everywhere. We saw the ruins.
We saw handsome homes among the
ruins Of the recent cyclone, uplifted
from their foundations. We saw maids
and matrons. We saw old men and
young men, all mlngling together.
We saw the judges, the jurors, and
the combine fist. Louis, Phil. Murray,
Milton Turner and Joe Housor. So faf
as color prejudice is concerned, the
negro is only Objectionable when he
makes himself so; we are confident
that the white man, no matter how
prejudiced he may be, will defend ne
gro manhood. We shall be glad to see

of Baltimore, Md. Mr.. Johnson is one
of the new Police Commissioners and
was the most popular man in the Con-
vention. He was the center of attrac-
! ton and it is no f1attery when The BEE
says he was the handsomest man in the
| great Convention. He was one Of
| the sargeant-at-arms. Aside from be-
ing the most popular man at St. Louis,
he is the colored mans friend and the
colored people of Maryland speak of
! him as no man is spoken of. He
showed every courtesy to the Press and
guests on his train, with the young

invited everybody to partake of the
clubs hospitalities and Commissioner
Johnson, who knows no man by his
color, but always admires true man
hood, waited upon his Afro-AmeriCan
guests himself. The Young Mems Re-
publican Club is the leading and one
of the most representative organiza-
tions in this country.
He is an astute politician and man
who has large number offriends.
On our special Car from St. Louis,
was Mr.. Samuel E. Young, one of the
most genial men we want to meet. He
is matter of fact man and jolly good
fellow. He was the Vanderbuilt of the

Mr. Young is a man of high moral
character and friend to his friends.
Mr. William E. Tilgham, the colored

is young man who is very popular in
his state. He wac elected without op-

Mr.. c. L. Welles, his alternate is

Capt. |. d. Oliver is one of the most |
interesting figures in the State of Mary |

We received a telegram from our genial
friend, Captain |. d. Oliver to meet
our special, with the Young Mems Re-
publican Club, of Maryland at Wash
ington Junction, but as fate would have
it we got left.
However, we arrived at St. Louis,
one of the greatest, if not the greatest
business center of the West.
The city was lined with people, the
Great Union Depot, the greatest in the
world, was scene of activity.
We repaired to our lodging house in
company with Editor E. E. Cooper, of
the C0L0reG 4mericGR, who got on the
train about ISL miles from St. Louis.
He had been to his old home in In

we repaired to
THE SOUTHERN HOTEL.
where we met the great politicians.
We saw hundreds of old familiar faces.
We saw but a few of the men in official
harness, who have heretofore held the
reins of the party.
The Southern Hotel is the largest in
the State. The color line had been
eliminated before our arrival, hence
we didn't come in contact with Western
prejudice and discrimination. We got
all we wanted, and if the colored dele
gates had been Disseminated against
we did not detect it. From what
was told to us we understand
that there is more color prejudice
among the coloreG people. The color
line is tightly drawn among Afro
Americans, yet they complain about
the white people. We found the negro
his own enemy.
We met many representative men,
working for their respective candi-
dates. The most conspicuous figure
WAS
