Negro Loyalty.


Does the negro lacl; fidelity? There is
no truer heart beneath any sun than that
which throbs beneath the black skin of the
negro; he is true to friends, generous and
forgiying to foes. l know OF no element
in noble human character which is not
found in the negro race. Indeed, he has
been placed under greater strains of con-
science, and taxed more severely in honor
and integrity. than any other race known
to history The South was very emphatic
in its praises OF negro fidelity, in the days
when the country was PROSTATE in civil
strife, and its dafenceless women and chill
dren were committed TO the care OF the
black men OF the South. The Northern SOL
dler could always trust his life in the
hands of the negro, wherever found. Is
there single case of treachery or infideli-
ty recorded against the negro? He would
defend and feed his "ole mistress" com
mitted TO his charge; he would hide the
cattle. food, and valuables in the hoiIows
or thickets; then pilot the northern army
around these hidden goods. safely through
the mountains, out of danger. There was
struggle between his sense OF honor and
his desire for freedom. He would rather
have remained in bondage TO this very
hour than to have violated his sacred
honor. Was ever human nature SO taxed
before? And North and South both prais-
ing him. Do the pages OF history record
greater heroism and fidelity?

B. Henderson, of Dubuque, la. If the
west should unite in supporting him,
his selection would be acceptable to all
the leading representatives of the west
ern states. He has been member of
the committee on rules for number of
years, and is perfectly familiar with
the practices and precendents of the
house of representatives. lie has been
chairman of the committee on judiciary
for four years. He was acting chairman
of the committee on appropriations for
some time. He is an able debater and an
eloquent orator. ,..
Either one of these gentlemen pos
sesses sufficient ability and experience
to fill the important position. Either
one of them would prove to be accepta-
BILE to his party, and would reflect credit
upon his supporters. Neither one of
them would make record for assuming
nutocratic power; for neither one of
them has advocated the exercise of such
power by Speaker Reed. Neither one of
them possesses the autocratic DISPOSE
ton which has actuated the strong and
masterful man who nowvoluntarily re-
linquishes the power of exalted station.
In all fairness and candor it should
be stated that no little injustice has
been done Speaker Reed by the news
papers which have disseminated The
idea that he was the author of code
of imperial rules As a matter of fact,
Tom Reed administered the rules which
Savannah courier. (Savannah, Tenn.) 1885-1979, 1899-06-30

his party. James S. Sherman, also of
New York, is much younger man, and
has been member of the house for ten
years. Either one of these gentlemen,
if selected by the eastern members of
the dominant party, might prove to be
successful; and either one of them
would be good presiding officer.
The western men have caucus MAJ
jority, if they can unite upon candi-
date. Ohio will probably not present
a candidate, because the president halls
from that state. Indiana has no candi-
date, because none of her representa-
tives has been in public life long enough
to become a national character. The
states of Michigan, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa and Nebraska have no man who
has been member of the house long
enough to claim recognition in speak
ership contest, excepting Wisconsin,
which might present the name of Con-
gresham Babcocl, but for the fact that
he declined to be candidate.
Illinois has two good men, either one
| OF whom would make good presiding
officer. Congressman Hopkins, of Au-
rora, is leading member of the COM
mittee on ways and means. lie has
often presided over the house when in
committee of the whole, and in that
position has manifested great parlia-
mentary skill. Congressman Cannon,
of Danvillc, has long been national
character. He has three times been
chairman of the committee~on appro-
priations. 1t was he who introduced
the famous bill appropriating $50,OOO,-
900 to be used at the discretion of the
| president "for national defense" He
is personally popular and known to be
ruggedly honest He is very impetu-
Gus man, and might better retain his
craftsmanship than to secure the speak
ership. ~

ically. But he only introduced two rules
which may be termed distinctivelv
Reed rules. In the first place, he count
ed a quorum when members sat in their
seats declining to vote, and claiming to
be absent. Everybody now comedies
that Reed was right in taking that
stand. In the second place, he intro
duced the policy of declining to enter
tain what he automatically decided to
be dilatory motions. He took this stand
in order that business might proceed.
His course in this respect is now in
dorsed by all good parliamentarians.
In specializing upon the contest for
the speakership, and assuming that it
will take to some extent, at least, a sec
tional aspect, it is worth while to con-
slider some interesting facts and fig
ures. The total republican vote will be
1874, this assuming that the vacancies
now existing in Nebraska, Maine,
Louisiana and such others as may oc-
cur before the meeting of congress,
will be filled by representatives of the
same parties as those elected at the
regular election in 1898.
The strength OF the eastern combina'
ton, leaving Ohio, of course, out, will
be as follows:
Savannah courier. (Savannah, Tenn.) 1885-1979, 1899-06-30

from west of the Allegheny mountains,
emitting Ohio, and north of the Ohio
and Mississippi rivers.
The southern and border contingent

kentucky ......'.'''..''''''''''"''''
North carolina ......'''''''''''''''''''''.
tennessee ''''''"''''''''.'''''''''''
Texas Observation-Disclosures. i
West Virginia ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. J
total ..........,......''..'.''''
These votes come from south of the
Ohio river.
Here, then, iG the situation. The east
has II votes. II she could draw to her
candidate the Is votes of Ohio she would
still be seven votes short. If she could
bring to her support the entire Ohio
delegation and the entire southern del
egation she would have the nomination
with majority of three. The west has
So votes, independent of Ohio. If she
can draw the southern contingent she
has the nomination with majority OF
five. If she can draw Ohio she has the
nomination with majority of ten. II
she can carry her own vote solid and Sc
cure five votes from either the southern
contingent or from Ohio she can be
successful.
1t will be seen that If mere personal
considerations do not outweigh the gen.
eral geographical political considera-
tons the speaker of the Fifty-sixth
congress is very likely to come from
west of the Allegheny mountains. Al
the organization of the Fifty-fourth
and Fifty-ffth congresses the east had
majority of the votes, and they were
able not only to nominate Mr.. Reed
from the extreme northeastern coun-
try, but they were able to locate the
two great offices of clerk of the house
and doorkeeper of the house, involving
three-fourths of the patronage, all east
of the Alleghenies. The western mer
say that the star of republican political
power is moving their way, and it is 6
good deal to ask of them that they shall
yield the speakership to man who is
outranked in years of service in the
house by not fewer than seven or eight
distinguished Representatives from the
vast territory west of the Alleghenies
But, after ALL the majority party vii
be wise II it selects the man who is pos
sessed of greatest. ability, regardless O
his geographical location. Tom Reed
is big man whether he is in Maine
New York, Washington, London, Der
lin or anywhere else on the face of tn,
earth. 1t is to be hoped that the hous,
may have good, strong presiding off
