pelled to suffer violent death.

PEELED to suffer violent death.
We were very much surprised to
read such an editorial from the reg.
lister, that is to encourage or advise
lynching of a person for simply
writing the article which appears
above. We don't believe that you
Mr.. Clarkson represent the ideas of
the better thinking class of people,
certainly not the christian people.
We do not think that your editorial
represent equality or justice As you
have heretofore held out to the
puiiir md furthern nore 4 that ed-i
itoral represent the spirit Of the re-
publican party which you claim to
champion and which fully o-1oth. Of
the colored people has supported all
their political life, then We have had
the wrong conception of true repub-
licanism. It is true that meetings
are being held all over America by
colored people condeming lawless.
ness and recent lynching in the
south. tits true that crime is a
crime whether done by a colored
man or white man and should bs
condemn by all good citizens, if
colored man commits crime he
should be made to suffer, but that
punishment should be by law, again
Mr.. Clarkson in his ever truthful
Register says that Manley's article
was the cause of the white people
killing so many innocent Negroes on
election day, that statement is not
true and cannot be so from the log
ic of facts, because the article which
he refers to was printed on the 18th
of last August and those Negroes
was lynched on election day and the
day after the election which was the
8 and 9, of November, if that article
enraged those white people, why was
not his press destroyed when the
act was committed? Then again
MIR. Clarkson the white men of the
South debauch and rape many a
helpless innocent colored women
there is nothing done and the poor
women dare not mention it. The
manner of Clandestine meeting Of
the two races is ample proof from
the various color of the colored race
especially in the South, therefore, we
had been proud to hold out the Reg
lister as the beacon light of progress
equality and justice for all people
also a special champion Of our race
advancement, but recent develop
ments has led US to think the reverse.
