THOMAS L. JONES, ESQ.

The candidacy of Thomas L..
Jones, ESQ.,, for the position of Dis
trict attorney in the police courS of
this city is being urged with ali the
vigor that a mans claim can be
presented.
Mr.. Henry E. Davis, a bona fide
citizen of Washington, it is believed, !,
is inclined to recognize the merits
of some competent colored member
of the bar. Mr.. Davis could i'm
mortalize himself if he would rec
ognize one member of the colored
race.
Foremost among the applicants
is Mr.. Jones who has been very
successful member of the bar since
his admission. He is Vlrginian
by birth having been born at
Clarksville, Mecklenburg Co., Va,
August 81, 1865. He came from
humble parentage, having worked
on a farm when he was II Years of
age until he was Is. He was en-
ployed by merchant in the town
of his nativity till 1883. In the
fall of that year he was appointed
principal of the town school in
which position he was successful
instructor. In 1884 he entered
Wayland Seminary and graduated
with high honors in 1885.
He entered the law department
of Howard University from which
school he was graduated.
He formed a law partnership
with Hon: John NJ. Langston and
the firm is Langston and Jones.
He has been very successful in his
practice having been successful in
a number of cases which have es-
tablished his reputation as very
good criminal lawyer.
He IS a politician and forcible
speaker, having won distinction in
the great fight for Prof. Langston
in the State of Virginia.
The appointment of Mr.. Jones,
his friends claim. will be a recog
milton of the colore1 bar association
of which Mr.. Jones is an active
member. He has been indorsed
for the position of one of the pros
ecuting officers by the leading col
ored members of the bar, namely,
Lawyers Hewlett, Peyton, and
others, the leading Baptist minis
ters, Senator Cullom and many
other distinguished citizens and
well known politicians.
Mr.. Jones is no doubt one of the
most popular young men in the
city, whose appointment would be
received with delight and satisfac-
ton by all who honor perseverance

THE DUTY OF THE ADMIN

| In 1894 there were several Col
ored Democratic Associations that
were organized for the purpose OF
having colored Republicans dis
missed. In every Department IN
which there was a Republican these
Negro Democrats would adopt the
following methods to have colored
Republicans dismissed. 1t will be
seen that there was an advisory
board from which emanated all
orders.
