The cowardly attack of certain
negro Masons against Mr.. Dorsey
Seville because he has licked them,
certainly demonstrates all that Mr..
Seville has said of them. Nobody
but Q coward would resort to the
dirty meanness that those negro
Masons resorted to when they filed
charges with the city Postmaster
against Mr.. Seville. What has his
place to do with the negro masonic
organization? Again the men who
fled the charges are irresponsible
and without standing in this COM
munlty. The city Postmaster did
right in ignoring such dirty busl-
ness by such mean negroes. Some
negro Mssons work just to the
opposite of their constitution and
still they want to know why white
Masons discriminate against them.

report of the meeting which appeared
in the Times on the 18th int, is gross
misrepresentation Of my uttterances.

paper. 1t would have been stultihca-
tion for me to have done so as | am
just back from New York, where
made ten speeches for the republican
ticket and in each of those speeches
spoke in the highest terms of the
President, not only as a wise Presi-
dent and able Chief Magistrate, but
consistent and loyal friend to the
colored race.
The Times very ungenerously re-
fused TO Published a correction of its
Misrepresentation which | sent it on

OUR PREDICTION.

Just as we predicted, the elec-
ton in North Carolina was char
acterized by the numbering of
eolored men, women and children.
We also prophesied that the Post
would approve Of the butchery, all
Of which has come to pass. A
band of cut throats, led by e1-Rep-
resentative Waddeil has driven the
republican city officials out of Will
mington and usurped the offices.
These redbanded assassins were
encour ged to do this blody deed
by the editorials in the Washington
Post. Being published in Wash
ington WaddelI and his bandits
believed that the POSI- voiced the
sentiment of the administration
and the nation, and feeling free
from ary interference from the
President they gave full vent to
accursed thirst for negro blood.
What have they Pained? !? Simply
few offices. What have they lost
Everything worth living for and
they have, just as We predicted
aroused the northern conscience
and in due time a wave of ven-
gence will sweep over the South
which will demolish and destroy
Calhounism, Tillmanism and Wad
dellism and upon their ruin will
be erected, for the first time in the
history of this republic, the princi
pies of justice. The North and
her black allies impatiently await
the day and hour.

late been urged against US. To Go
this we must pursue the even tenor
of our way striving to elevate our
moral, intellectual and material
condition and when it is our duty
to exercise our suffrage, to do SO
intelligently, firml and trusting
ly. Our friends are not yet all
gone and if we show ,rselVes
worthy and do our whole duty as
men and citizens, there will be an
arousal of public conscience which
will assuredly result in anacknowl-
edgment and protection of our
civil and political rights. The
duty of the colored people is plain.
We must contend for our rights and
look to God and liberty-loying
people for assistance in gaining the
victory.

THE PRESIDENT.

Considerable speculation Is be-
ing INDUCED in regarding the
attitude of President Mckinley on
the wholesale riot and intlmida-
ton which took place in North and
South Carolina in order to secure
the supremacy of the democracy in
those States. The spi' eless attl-
tude of Gov. Russell in the premi-
ses was such that the President
could not interfere in direct and
positive way, for the reason that
Gov. Russell did not declare the
State to be in insurrection. While
everybody is satisfied that there
was organized resistance to consti
tuted authority aud that mob-law
reigned supreme, no official act OF
Gov. Russell made that fact known
| to the President. 1t is probably,
on this account that MI. McKin.
lev seemed Indifferent. But W.
| venture the assertion that thu
). | President will not fail to probe the
matter to the bottom and to recon-
mend such action ty Congress a
will protect the citizens of tn
States from such tyranny, riot ant
= assassination as were exhibited Il
North and South Carolina. Nj
Mckinley is christian statesma

the service Of the District govrnment.
Mr.. Judson w. Lyons, register of the
treasury, spoke of the progress Of his
race and the friendly interest taken in
it by President Mckinley.
Great enthusiasm was aroused by
the entrance on the platform OF Mrs.
Ayres and her father. Mrs. Avres is
the wife of Capt. Ayres Of the gallant
10th cavalry, who have the credit of
saving Col, Roosevelt and his Rough
Riders from rout and defeat in the
charge up San Juan Hill. She was
presented with a mammoth bunch of
American Beauty roses by w. Calvin
Chase, in elegant and appropriate
language. which brought forth very
feeling reply from Mrs. Ayres, who
spoke Of the brave man of dusky hue
who she was pleased to believe idol
lied her husband.
Major NJ Emmett Urell of the Ist
District Regiment was called for and
gave an interesting account of the
gallantry of the colored soldiers in the
field and their discipline in camp, both
in the civil and Cuban war. He gave
great credit to the rank and file of the
9th and 10th Cavalry. respectively,
and the 18th and 24th Infantry, re-
spectively. He was followed by VIM.
Dickson, who paid tribute to the
loyalty, courage and bravery of the
soldiers who responded to their coun-
try's call, and said the historian of the
future would do credit to the negro for
bis services. He spoke feelingly of
Robert Purvis of Philadelphia, Fred
Douglass, James Wormley and other
colored citizens who were dististin-
guished in life and honored and rever-
ed in death.
Ex-Governor Pinchback, formerly
OF Louisiana, spoke of the negro and
his duty o himself and his country.
He referred to the unfortunate rae
trouble in North and South Carolina,
and censured the President for his
failure to protect the people OF his race
from massacre and assassination, and
praised the action of Grover Cleve-
land, who had. the nerve to enforce
the law by military power when neces-
sity demanded it.
Other addresses were made by Rev.
George w. Lee, L. NJ. Saunders and
1. l.. Jones, Esq, and the services
came to conclusion by singing the

Col. Roosevelt was as follows:

that it will be impossible for me TO be

TUESDAYS ELECTIONS.

The result OF the elections on
Tuesday of last week was no doubt
surprise to the democratic Con-
gressional committee. Notwith-
standing the false alarm of negro
domination in North Carroll ma and
elsewhere in the South, the repub-
liean party won. The American
people are no fools. The tactics of

can citizens. The republican party,

achievements since its organization
The success of the party at the

THE ONLY WAY.


sone Of our wouId-be leaders,
touching the duty of the colored
citizen at the South, are,
70 say the least, amusing. Some
claim that the only way to live In
harmony with the white people
and at the same ti..e to keep In
tact the elective franchise is to
vote with them and disown all
allegiance to The republican party.
Others advise the colored people to
abstain from politics altogether
and to turn their attention exclu-
sively toward material develop
meut. Neither of these theories is
worth the time it take to enunclate
,hem, if we are to attach any i'm
portance to manhood, our constl-
tutional aud Godglven rights or our
posterity. To pursue the policy of
voting with the democrats of the
South would produce two dlreful
results. In the first place it would
express cowardly fear, all acquies-
cence in and an endorsement OF
the heinous methods which charac-
terized the democratic party OF the
South and a manifestation of
knavery and deception hitherto
unknown 10 the colored people
Moreover, the right of franchise
would not be kept in tact thereby,
for the reason that enforced polit'
zeal afiliation is slavery and slavery
j. inconsistent with the intelligent
exercise of suffrage. In the second
place the theory would not work.
The whites at the South have on
numerous occasions declared that
tnev would not affiliate with the
colored voter and maintained that
the provisions declaring his citizen.
shin we're unconstitutional 1t would
therefore be worse than folly to
seek our manhood rights through
The contemplated medium OF poilt'
icsl prostitution. The advocates
of political sulesence are equally
in error. For the last fifty years
rhe best men and women In this
country have devoted their time,
talent and means to the political
and intellectual emancipation OF
the colored people, believing that
IN them were the instincts and
capabilities calculated to develop
a manly and progressive people.
The pulpit, the rostrum and the
press have thundered in defense OF
the civil and political rights OF
our people; which eliminated in a
bloody struggle in which right
prevailed. This effort was vigor'
ously kept up until the censtitu'
ton and the laws clothed the col
ored people with citizenship and
even now the best people in the
land bid us Gods speed and are
doing all within their power tc
advance our cause 1t were worse
than ingratitude to ignore the
moral forces which have brought
us thus far and to bow and cringe
before the spirit of tyranny, law
lessness and crime. 1t is W rrse than
cowardice TO give up our right;
because a mob demands it. And
those who counsel our people
lack the c urage to fight for them
selves and their posterity and
should be regarded as alarmist;
and apologis's.
There is but one course to pur-
sue in our unfortunate situation.
The way TO prove manhood is tc
act manly. And to act manly il
not to bow to error aud wrong, but
to use every legitimate means tc
