Kansas City, Mo, Nov. 1e.-The
republican city administration is re.
yenging itself on the negroes for
their generous support of the dem
ocratic ticket in this city by ousting
all the colored men in the employ of
the city. Even Nelson Crews, the
famous colored orator, it ia said, is
to be dropped as clerk of the Police
Court, or at least his position will
be made 80 uncomfortable that he
will be glad to quit. "Out with the
negroes is the slogan, and the COL
ored employe who survives the pres
ent onslaught will be battered and
bent, IL the talk of officials counts
for anything.

who is also city assessor, is perhaps
the sorest man at the city hall.

them, treated them with every pos
sible consideration, and now when

prices on them and can be bought
like bushel of lettice, a bushel of
potatoes or basket of spinach-so
much for each one The republican
party owes them nothing from now
on. They are not entitled to a
thing"
Last year Mr.. Yost had negroes
employed for several months at So
q day making the assessment. He
is now selecting white men to do
this years work.
How many negroes will you EN-.
plov this year?' he was asked. Mr..
Yost raised his hand and with two
