POLITICAL NOTES.
A certain class of white politicians
can be seen each night making house
Co house canvass to get themselves and
their friends either elected TO the con-
gressional convention or be put on the
city central committee. Why is it that
they seek to make this still hunt
among the colored brethren in the
dark hours of the night? Are they
afraid to be seen by their white asso-
ciates seated in their colored friend 9
parlor? A certain white Clay warder il
working the game for all it is worth
now, and in the hope of big things lat
or on, he has set himself up for chair
man of the city committee. This Of
fice-hunter and place seeker is very
anxious co get the support of the col
ored people. Just because he can dc
them so much good?
We want bold, fearless and out
spoken man for chairman of the City
Committee, one who is able to com
mand the respect of the people and
bring influence and aid TO the party
Let US not forget that the fearless Johr
Mitchell, Jr.. still lives, the energetic
and stirring DIR. r. E. Jones and few
other able colored men are among us
and will make able worthy leaders
We wish not to be understood as oppos
ing q white man for chairman; but W.
want one Of high standing, the equal o
any the honorable gentlemen mention
ed and others we can name. The day
never ought to have been, but we hop'
it is far gone by when any man can b.
made chairman. simply because hi
could slip around at night and whispel
few promises in our ears.
Colored men, be careful for thi
! white friend is more than likely to cal
to see you and chat pleasantly. w
would say to those who complain W
I cannot publish that we know nothin
about; tell US and five think it prcpe
1t will appear.
