The colored chattels Of the Republi
can party in Kansas City have passed
out Of style. The Missouri Republi-
can club met at their rooms on the
night OF the 18th and formally decreed
and most solemnly enacted that the
negroes were no longer an integral
part Of the great Republican party,
and that they must shift and hustle in
the future for themselves.
The Missouri Republican club has
been the one hope for years in the
Kansas City elections, and through it
they claim to have won all their
past victories The club asserted In
their meeting that the negro sdht r.
ents had cost it from 50 to IS a piece
besides the jobs which it had TO find
for them, and because 1t was known
in the last election that these same
negroes took the Republican 50 to IS
and then voted the Democratic ticket
at from so cents to 81 apiece, they had
to get out.
A leading Republican club man in
his speech said;
In the old days OF the big Aus
tralian ballot the negroes used to take
the Democratic money and then gc
in and vote our ticket, anyhow. W.
used to tell 'em te get all they could
But under the present system It's off
ferent. Now each ticket is on sepa
rate slip. II a man votes straight
ticket, Republican or Democratic, tn,
election judges can keep track Of tn,

vote. Well, sir, in every negro pre-
cinct last week there was a democrati,
Judge on watch. He'd have cigar II

voted right, the Democratic judg,

Mr. Farrell says:
Cannot the general thinker and
worker learn the fact that the labor
which the mine. expends in producing
silver is fully as valuable as that used
ia the production Of gold, and that the
only monetary redeemer that the
great debtor class has to rely upon TO
save it from commercial ruin Is In the

called 10 to /.
