THE UNITED COLORED DE-
MOCRACY.

A POLITICAL ORGANIZATION THAT IS
BECOMING FAMoUS-THEIR CHIEF
WHO is SECOND CROKER. WHAT
THE NEW YORK NEGRO is DOING.
New York, April I6, ISoo.-One OF
the strongest colored political organi-
cations in the state of New York, with
headquarters at I52 West 53rd street,
is the United Colored Democracy.
otherwise known as the "Black Tam
many" Their chief is Mr. Edward
Lee, with as much power as the polit-
ical master, Richard Croker. A rep
resentaiive of ! HE BEE made a visit
TO that city last week and among the
many organizations visited was this
organization. The chief secretary is
Mr.. Edward F. Horn, journalist by
reputation and no doubt one of the
best political writer's in this country
Chief Lee was out when the Bee
called, but MIR. Horn introduced him
to his wife who seems TO be a very
entertaining young lady and politi-
clan as well Mr.. Horn is an affahIe
gentleman and man of ability. He
has passed the civil service examina-
be appointed by Tammany Mr. H. !
Edwards, member of the famous or
q nIzation was also presented to the
BEE representative as were MIR. JameS
a. Riley, c p. Stinson, known as the
diamond king MIR. Stinson is the
proprietor of the Hotel Calumet
whose partner is Mr. J. H. Parker
These gentlemen are the bosses Of
their own business and are doing well.
The BEE will have more 10 say
about MIR Stinson in its next issue.
Mr.. Ralph LangSton, the son of late ].
NJ Langston is seaier Of weights and
measures. one of the most responsible
positions in the city of New York. The
Colored Tammany is composed OF
some of the best and brainest men in
the United States. 1t cannot be said
that this organization is composed OF
ignorant negroes. EX-MiniSter Thomp-
son to Havti is member of the club
The Tammany organization is max
ing InroadS into the ranks of Colored
republican vote. The negro democrats
seem to love and honor Richard Gro
ker They all saw that he is fair, just
and honorable. More will be said of the
Colored Tammany il the next issue.
The next place Of interest was the
SONS OF NEW YORK.
This is purely social.organization
This is the New York 400. Mr.. /. b.
Francis was presented 10 the BEE rep
resentative. He is an affiable gentle
man and A fine entertainer. The Sons
of New York own their bull ling, a
handsome structure on 53rd street,
west. 1t is well conducted and
equipped. This club has fine library
of several hundred books. A fine
billiard, banquet and reception halls.
THE CoLoRED PEOPLE
in this city seem to be prospering un
der Tammany rule. Indeed there
were no loafers seen on the streets
among Afro-A .erlcans. This is a
busy city.
Referring again to tie Colored
Tammany, Secretary Horn exhibited
to the BEE representative his roster Of
under rammany and
they were manv and from all indica
tionS the republicans will have to do
more than what they have done for
the negro in this state if they want
his vote.
The Washington bee., 1899-04-22

we'll known that the democratic party
South are mutually dependent and act
in concord at the proper time. To
swear by Tammany in New York and
to eXcoriate the democratic party else
where is strange plan Of procedure.
1t says too plainly that something
more tangible thln principles may be
a factor in the matter.
1t is in the air that negroes should di-
vide their votes; but it Is not urged
tn 1t this should be done without am
pie cause. The division of the votes
because it is a possibility would be
senseless. If other parties that are
candidates for power can map out
programs whereby lynchings are to
decrease, lin crow" car legislation
to be rendered null and void and the
onward march of disfranchisements
and the thousand and one ways Of petty
determinations are to be arrested,
then those parties should Jump at once
into popular favor and claim the ne
groes' vote on the strength of their
programs.
However such party is not advisable
owing 10 the tendency it would have
10 draw more rigid the lines that do
exist. But such party is the only
one that could rightfully set up a
claim TO the negro in the face of the
republican party. 1t seems folly to
attempt to wreak vengence on party
that is the known author of all that
makes people. This may be hide,
bound in the language of a contempo-
rarv, but be that as it may, it is history
and not fiction.
SO it cannot be seen, no matter who
oroer it, where the negroes may go in
order to better their civil or political
conditions. Do other parties offer
any advantages over the we'll known
attitude of the republicans

LIEUT.. CLARK READs--oUR NEW
LEADERSHIP.
The paper entitled "a phase of In
tantry Mor k, " lead by Lieut.. Thomas
H. K. Clarke before the Congression,
al lyceum Sunday afternoon last was
highly instructive and showed that
the essayIst was thoroughly familiar
with the laws, rules and regulations
which now govern regiments of infan-
try In camp or field whether in times
of peace or war.
The speaker said that body Of in
fantry whether regiment, brigade.
division or corps, was In brief vast
fighting machine, the successful oper-
ations OF which were the result If strict
discipline and the rigid but just en-
torcement of military laws and regula-
tons. He referr d to the fact that
'artlcles of war" were of British ori-
gin and that our army code contains
one hundred aud tWenty-eight such
articles and two drag net" articles,
which covers all offences not speci-
fed in the one hundred and twenty
eight He also observed that when
close together and present solid front
to the enemy, as was done in the last
civil war. Military 'tacticianS had
learned from the Red men of the Wet
that great damage could be inflicted
on the enemy by thin columns than
b. moving in solid ones and
that military men had also leaIn-
ed that in time of battle it is just as
important to preserve the lives OF
their own as to destroy those of the
enemy.
DIR. w. Bruce Evans, principal of
the Mott school and w. l.. Houston
Of the record and pension division,
War Department, spoke at length and
referred to the manner III which in
fantry and cavalry were disposed of
and massacred bv the great command
ing generals at the battles Of Marengo,
Austerlilz, Waterloo and Balaklava.
Lieut.. Mlnkins, observed that he
had served with Lieut.. Clarke in the
Sth u. ). V. Volunteers and hence
fully appreciated all that he had said
Lawyer ]. H. Stewart remarked that
as he knew a great deal more about
civil and criminal law and procedure
than about military law he was forced
thereby to concede all that had been
advanced by the essayist. Short ad-
dresses complimenting the essayist

II the negro does not support that party where
is he going; must he remain with the party that
is killing, must he remain with the party
which seems unable to protect him? Will some
philosopher answer these questions ?-The Bes.
Washington, ID. Z.
From the indianapolis Freeman.
We take it that these questions are
asked IN the interest of the race as a
whole and not i'm the interest of few,
who peri APPS may have grievances
real or apparent.
In event the negroes conclude that
Justice to the race is too slow through
the republican party as a means,
where will they cast their allegiance ?
4 lie only answer that can follow is
that they will cast their allegiance to
that party or to those parties that hold
out the greatest inducements These
inducements should be in the nature
of party principles supplemented by
party rewards which party rewards
are TO be held after conSid-
Grafton, a corollary SO to speak
a truth, growing out of the main con-
tention, an earnest token of the
facts enunciated in the principles, as
applied TO the constituency of any
party.
TO say that Tammany Is an illustra-
ton of the progress made by negroes in
political affairs, means nothing unless
Tammany bases its bid for considera-
tion above the fishes and loaves
idea. In event the Tammany organI-
cation is so broad guaged that 1t on
all occasions, stands for the same the
republican party does and has stood
for, then it has a logical reason for con-
sideration. Even in that event there
could be no reasonable preference for
the organization owing to the lack of
priority in the matter.
If as the negroes hold, that they are
battling for principles it is strange
that the mere matter of reward should
cut such an appreciable figure. lhiS
is advanced in view of the many good
things being said of the New York
organization.
it is very well known how Tammany
associates in national elections. 1t is
