In speaking of Southern men for the

In speaking of Southern men for the
cabinet, the New York Age, t, Thomas
Fortunes paper, has this to say;
If we cannot have an Afro-Americen
in the cabinet we should favor the
selection of white member who comes
the nearest to representing our inter
ests. As far as Nathan Is. Scott and
Powell Clayton are concerned, no Afro
American who came in contact with
them at the national republican head
quarters in New York during the past
campaign, would favor the selection OF
either of them for cabinet position.
DR. Evans and Gov. Bradley both
reside in states where the white repub-
lican vote is greater than the black and
colorcd, and it is in evidence that Mr.
Evans likes black men as voters, but
wants nothing to do with them as
office holders.
The reference to Gen. Powell Clayton,
of Arkansas, shows the sense OF the
man that wrote the article, who we
take to be 7. Thomas Fortune. Our
friend Thomas gained the notoriety
years ago of never being straight on
anything political. and, as usual, his
reference to our most honored son of
Arkansas, places him on the wrong
track. Gen. Powell Clayton is the
recognized leader of the southern
republicans; he is especially the idol OF
Arkansas republicans. lie is one of the
tallcst sycamores in the forest that go
10 make up the great leaders through
ont the country Ne served in the
federal army; he was republican at
time when it tried mems souls to
be of that faith and order; he defended
the cause OF Afro-Americaus when de-
fcuse was needed and at n time they
were unable to defend themselves. In
the low places aud in the high places
his voice was always heard in defense
Of fallen humanity; he has spent more
time, more money and undergone more
hardships for the Negroes than all the
Tom Fortunes in the world, We opinc
that our Uncle Tom during the late
campaign wanted something for moth
ing and at the New York headquarters
he found a Clayton equal to Uncle
Toms sweet words Tom now
barlis at the tree.

We understand that 5. A. Jones,
attorney-at-law, is fnvorably mentioned
by the leading republicans for the
position of assistant prosecuting
attorney for the Eastern District u.
$. court Of Arkansas We have heard
of no other name mentioned in CON
nection with this Office and we take it
for granted that Mr. Jones will be
given the place by unanimous consent
For fitness, ability and worth the posi-
tion could be given to no better ma
tcrial Again, the selection of Mr.
Jones would be bciitting recognition
of the colorcd contingent Of the repub-
lican party. MIR. Jones is classed as
one among our most active and aggres-
sivc Young republicans, In lS92 he was
the nominee for representative on the
republican ticket Being the only
colorcd man on the ticket, he was
elected by a handsome majority, but
tho scat was given to Hon. Dan w,
Jones, governor.elect. Mr.. Jones filed
u contest but was never given the seat.
The usual fate Of republicans that run
for office in Arkansas fell to his lot.
At present he is secretary Of the repub-
lican county central committee OF
Pulaski county, In circular letter
during our September election he de-
nounced the course pursued by the
Arkansas Herald in giving aid and
comfort to the elements opposing the
,ailal,liaans. al ','~'.s ,.,s,.'s> 'fis. .-'anas-
ing as an attorney in state and federal
courts is par excellence Present indi-
cations point to his selection and we
trust nothing will change the plan of
the powers that be as now indicated.
