APPEAL TO COLORED MEN.
They Are Urged to Stand by the Popu-
list Party Throughout
the State.

Through the agency of the Colored
Mems Independent league, organized
and Incorporated by the colored mes
Sengers and janitors at the state mouse,
the administration has prepared and is
sending out circular letters to the col
ored people of the state calling upon
them to stand by the POpulists in the
coming campaign. The second para
graph of the manifesto follows:
Government ownership OF railroads
This issue alone should receive the
support Of every negro in the country.
Think of it! Our mothers, wives and
SISTERS are driven TO Jim crow car
in many parts of this country. Why?
Because companies are the owners.
This state of affairs could not exist if
the government owned the railroads.
Government ownership means more
than this to our people. Colored men
will hold other positions, besides that
of porter and bOotblack. There are
hundreds of cOlOred pOrterS who nave
worked for years and who know every
foot of rail over their runs, who de-
serve promotion, who have the intelli-
Sence and ability to serve as conductor,
baSgagemaster, ticket agent and many
other official positions, but these de-
serving men and their children must
continue to serve as porter and boot
black. We can change this condition
OF things only with our ballots by VOt-
ing for government ownership. we
then make promotion possible for hun
dreds of porters who deserve it,"
The appeal closes as follows:
Slavery is not the issue of the day.
The war is over. Peace has been de-
clared. We are voting for living issues,
not dead ones. The reform party ia
vorS the issues discussed in this appeal,
and many others which are of great
benefit to our race. Now it is with
you to take a manly stand in support
of these principles and the Populist
party.
For years we have voted for any
thing Republican, but we have found
out that the Republican party of today
is not the party of Lincoln. Sumner and
Iovejoy, but an organized corporation
existing for selfish benefits, and who
only give our people representation
when forced to do so, and then only i'll
a mental way. We hope that every
negro who loves his race and who
wishes a brighter future for his people
will be man enough to study the prin-
ciples of parties and in the future cast
an intelligent vote. By doing so you
help to better the condition of your
race

COULDN'T BE HELPED.
Topeka Team Gould Not Possibly Get
to Scranton.

Scranton, Kan, Aug. s. 1897.
70 the Editor of The State Journal:
The largest crowd of people that
ever gathered in Scranton assembled
here yesterday attracted by the ad-
vertised ball game between Scranton
and the Topeka professional team. AT
noon telegram was received here say
ing that owing to a washout on the
Union Pacific the club was delayed in
getting back from junction City and
therefore could not possibly reach here
in time for the game. But in response
to telephone message from our man
ager, asking them to come down on the
5:16 train, their manager wired that
they would come on that train. About
$500 people waited for the train and
when the team failed to arrive the dis
appointment was great The Topeka
boys sent no explanation of their con-
duct and our citizens all consider that
an apology is due US. A large portion
of the crowd came from the country
and neighboring towns, and while
Scranton was in no wise to blame in the
matter, there are those 50 unjust as
to say the whole thing was only an ad-
VertiSing scheme.
I. N BRANDON,
Editor Scranton Gazette.
Mr. w. NJ. Rynerson sayes in rela-
ton to the above: Our team was at
Junction City, and on account of the
washout couldn't get there. L sent a
telegram to the manager of the Scran-
ton team stating this. I don't know
whether that telegram was delivered
or not. We couldn't get the team there
when there was no train. They re-
fused to stop the fast train for us and
we couldn't walk over to Scra nton. To-
peka would gladly have gone there for
the game, for we need the money!
