declaration of principles Of the
great republican party. The ten
penny white men who eternally
hallow, "Nigger, niger are
seldom the intellectual equals Of
those they seek to humiliate.
There is nothing discouraging in
this display of Anglo Saxon ignor-
ance to the students of history.
The mildewed books of ancient,
mediaeval and modern record, are
full of utterances where the first
has come last; where the humble
and industrious have dictated
terms to those who esteemed
themselves the great of earth.
History sometimes repeats itself.

The Republican national CON
vention has met and faithful per-
formed its work. Major VIM.
Mckinley was nominated for
president on the first ballot, re-
ceiving 66l4 votes; Hobart for
vice receiving 5331 votes on the
first ballot. Iowa's fayorite son
showed less strength than i'll the
previous contests. No eulogy
can be pronounced so great as the
unanimous endorsement Of Major
VIM. Mckinley Of Ohio, for presi-
dent by the national convention
There was hot contest over the
money plank, gold standard finaa y
winning. Many Of the silver men
left the convention hall and may
leave the party. The work of the
young Afro-Americans showed
their strength, and wisdom by hay
ing the platform contain plank
in opposition to lynch law. 1t is
the first time the party has so de
clared in national convention. 1t
is of more concern to them than
the money plank. The platform
is good throughout and the ticket
strong. Major Mckinley brings
strength to the party He is adj
mired for his bravery and his in
telligence. The elements Of tho
party are harmonized, and the
people have made the selection
and will see to it that he reaches
the White House.

the same the world over. Ii men
are snubbed and pushed aside
after victory the ties do not bind
very long. In the recent city
campaign the Irish Americans and
Afro-Americans joined hands and
materially aided in winning great
victory. The good citizens APP
plauded and worked with them.
The young men of the city were
active and discreet. These two
factions have been recognized as
never before. The Atro-Ameri-
cans have stronger and better
representation than they have ever
had in the city of Des Moines.
This was brought about by the
good citizens acting in unity and
with intelligence. The men who
desire to rule or ruin should be
buried under an avalanche ofvotes
so that they will be beyond resur-
rection. The hired men and the
chronic ofiice-seekers will never
do any good for any race. The
question present to the mind is
.'Shall this onward march be con-
tinued in county and congressional
matters 2" With proper care and
judgment an advancement can be
made. We have positive knowl-
edge that some Of our young men
and women will be given a posi-
ton worthy of their training.
There is a class of men who can
not be trusted. They should be
avoided.

The young Atro-American re-
publicans are standing firm. They
have been the tail to the political
kite of men who have made mer-
chandlze of them. That day is
gone and a brighter one dawns.
The loyal ones will be found
fighting for the best interest of the
race

One of the participants in the
Sunday beer drinking political
meeting desires correction made
in our statements of last week.
The meeting was not entirely g
Lewis meeting, the participant
says, for he is working for Hull
and made a speech for him. The
police also searched for the party.
The speaker is a man Of indefinite
political faith and an A. Z. A.,
WHICH order is in direct opposition
to Afro American progress. 1t is
further stated on the streets that
Captain Hull has taken two Afro
American candidates fer constable
under his protection, and they are
in the same township. The Afro
Americans have often expressed
hope that candidates would win
on their merits without becoming
entangled in congressional, state
or national affairs. If it is true,
this is the first overt act OF swap
ping" and trading.

PUNCHES.

Dallas (Texas) Express: Church
matters are not the only matters
which should claim your attention.
The question of employing your
boy and giving him a chance in
life is more important than the
question Of sprinkling baby.
The sooner some of our people
learn that they cannot make q
success in life by standing on the
street corners, the better it will
be for those who try to rise in the
world. Nothing is more disgust
ing than to see a crowd of men
and boys congregated on the
street corners. Each city should
have Move On ordinance, and
the corners and streets should be
cleared loafters. -Leavenworth

Howard university, at Wash
ington, d. c., turned out eight
colored graduates at their com
mencement held in May. This
is one Of the leading, if not the
leading colored school in the
United States. 1t gets govern
ment appropriation annually.
The Methodist Episcopal church
refused to elect colored bishop
in one breath and the very next
voted that no color line or race
distinction be tolerated in their

There have been many ''reis-
sues" increases" and special
pensions granted in this district,
but the Afro-American is not on
the list. This is aplain statement
OF a fact patent to all We know
one Afro American veteran who
has as honorable discharge from
the United States army as any
man who ever defended this coun-
try. He fought for flag that did
not protect him, and a country
that made him a slave. He was
a patriot without a flag or a coun-
try. Today he is old and broken
down from the effect of that war.
He was on the pension rolls, but
was stricken therefrom like many
others, by the present adminlstra-
ton. He and his friends are ex-
pected to support a man for office
simply because he is labeled "re-
publican" They are good enough
to receive the same benefits as
other men in like position.

ST. LOUIS HOTELS.

Omaha Enterprise The st.

TO take care of the national con-
vention. If they can not do so,
or dare discriminate against any
part thereof, they richly deserves
the censure Of the whole Ameri-
can people. The flower of the
Negro race will form an impor-
tant part of the convention: colored
men, the peers Of any white Amer
ican, will be heard in its delihera-
tons Any discrimination, either
inside or out the convention hall.

principles of republicanism and
the men who advocate them,
Topeka (kan) Call: The ma
tional committee might have
known that this would have been
the natural result in that hell
hole of prejudice. Chic ago, San
Francisco and other cities where
a man is known by those elements
that make, up manhood, were
given the cold shoulder for this
besotted den of southern Negro
haters. There is no escape for
the republican managers. They
are open to censure and will re-
ceive their just proportion.
State (Ill.,) Capital: Can it be
wondered at that certain religious
classes OF people preach, chat
there is hell on earth, when such
places as st. Louis, Mo-, exists.
No where in the heart of Georgia,
Alabama or Mississippi, would
such a thing have happened, as
the edict that has just gone forth
to the civilized world from that
city which has "Saint' prefixed to
its name, emblematical OF Satan
himself, as we are told that he
goes through the world in the dis
guise Of saint. st. Louis you

have supported her in every way.
She graduated from Wellesley,
and since then has served as a
