Informa ton comes to The Journal
from an old soldier to the effect that he
finds number of people in the seventh
ward who say they will not vote for
Frank J. Wheaton, republican candidate
for the legislature, simply because he is a
colored man. This is a poor time to let
a black mans color prejudice his chances
as a candidate for office. The country is
too full of praises Of the colored troops
at Santiago. Read the accounts of the
battle told by members of Minnesota
Third, and by the Rough Riders them
selves. No troops in General Skaters
army fought so effectively or more brave
ly than did the colored regiments l.: that
division. When the Massachusetts, volun-
teers were broken to pieces ard the flower
Of New England soldiery was demoralized,
when the Rough Riders themselves,
through no lack of bravery but
through lack of experience and knowledge
Of how to fight, were getting the worst
Of It, the black boys came to the rescue,
swept past them and over them, and,
singing as they went, carried the day by
storm. You cannot get white soldier
who was at Santiago to speak in othe!
than terms Of praise Of the black man.
None were more loyal to the flag, none
were more indifferent to their personal
safety, none more effective in their fight
Ing There was no color line there, and
there shoald be no color line in our poll:
tics man is entitled to the Office for
which ne is candidate according to
whether the principles which he represents
are right, and whether, he is qualified in
point OF character and ability for the po-
sition to which he aspires. It will be no
credit to the white voters of his district
II Frank Wheaton loses a vote to which
ne is entitled simply because he happens
to have a dusky skin .r 49,.
