W. Calvin Chase InteFro1ates Mo-
Kfnley ana Bryan.
In order to ASCERTAIN the attitude Of the
candidates Of the republican and demo-
cratic parties toward the colored people Of
this country, w. Calvin Chase Of this city,
editor Of the Bee. has written letters both
to Mr.. Mckinley and to Mr.. Bryan.
In the letter to the former he says:
There 10 q question that is more i'm
portant, to q certain class Of your fellow
citizens. than gold or silver; a question in
which the personal liberty, the political and
legal rights Of the people are involved.
While your platform declares against lynch
law we have yet to see the executive of
any party enforce the amendments to our
Constitution. which guarantee equal rights
to all classes of citizens irrespective of
color or condition.
Further, Mr.. Chase propounds this ques-
ton: Should the party succeed in electing
you, or the American people decide that
you are the choice sfor President of the
United States. what part will Afro-Ameri-
caIS play in the councils Of your admins
tration, or what consideration will they re-
ceive? In conclusion. Mr.. Chase expresses
the hope that the dignity of Mr.. McKin-
ley's position will not preclude a reply.
In his letter to Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Chase al
ludes to the class of citizens known as
Afro-Americans. and makes the statement
democratic party. And in that party they
have not been welcomed, except the inno-
walton made by President Cleveland, who
must be given credit for the courage of his
conviction and the interest he has taken liz
certain representative Afro-Americans In
this country In the democratic or free
silver platform nothing is said in behalf
of Afro-Americans, nor did your party
deem them Of sufficient Importance to elect
one delegate to your convention. There
exists, in certain sections of this country,
a Aw not upon the statute books but an
unwritten law. known lynch law. This
law is particularly applied to Afro-Ameri-
cans who are suspected of crime, and
lynched without judge jury in violation
or our Constitution and contrary to the
laws OF the states in which these offenses
are committed. 1t Is to be deplored that
the democratic convention did not see fit to
give utterance to any expression Of opinion
on this subject"
In conclusion, he asks Mr.. Bryan to state
what place will Afro Americans OCCUPY in
the councils of your party and administra-
tcn, should the American people decide to
elect your
