TO DIVIDE THE COLORED
VOTE.

The campaign committee of the indie
pendent colored voters of the Fourth
Congressional district, which was formed
last fall to support DR.. j. Marcus Cargill,
colored, former City Councilman, for Con-
gress against Mr.. McIntire, met Monday
night at the Office of DR.. Cargill, 43O West
Biddle ST., BALTIC and decided to hold gen.
eral meeting of the Independent colored
votes today
DIR. Cargill is president of the organi-
cation. He stated to the committee that
| three colorcd independent and good gov
eminent clubs in East Baltimore had in
dorsed his interview published in The
SIN of September %, setting forth his
| and he had been waited on by committees
| from the Fourtec.,th and Fifteenth wards
| assuring him of their co-"perati"n in his
| work
Following up his interview as published
| in the SJni, DR.. Cargili said:
| The cOlnrtd voter has been, and is now
| being led by sentiment, as we'll as by a
| few so-callcd leaders, who have no inter
est in him beyond the few dollars they
may get The Independence among the
colored men Is Coming more and more
apparent. | believe there are in Baltimore
city today, 10000 independent colored
voters, and that they will not be driven
by the party lash, but will remember that
| 81 10.
| body polite so long as he sticks to one
party Let the negro he manly and stand
| up for what is rislg.
If few dollars is to sacrifice the col
ored voters of Maryland, what, u lder
| Heavens. will be the future of our race.
We are citizens under the law and Consti-
tuition of the State, and of the United
! States, and there can be no laws passed
which will abridge the rights of the people
or any class of them Why should we
| fear, since good men conduct the affairs
| of our Government? Let US take white
men as we find them, Democrats or Re-
publicans, and if they are friendly to us
let US be friendly to them. If it is to our
! advantage to be independent in politics,
let Us have sense enough to see it. The
day of slavery is over and the young col
ored man will not be influenced by what
occurred 30 years ago.
The politicians have taken advantage
of the ignorance of the colored man, and
have endeavored to prevent him from
seeking the confidence of his White friends
without regard to party. Let the colored
man divide his vote this fall, which
know he will do and no matter who is
elected Governor, he will have some
respect for colored men. Ry all means
let the coiored citizens of this State give
up the past, and make the white man his
friend for the future

"!i.iSS.iE AMPS.'

Mr.. EDIToR:-I fear | am too late in
proposing the coinage and adoption of 4
new word to be added to our vocabulary,
but Hassavamps is quite exprt i've when
the following is known. | find in cor
respondence of the Chicago Record"
from the town OF Flagstaff in Arizona,
that there is a little stream down in that
country known as the HaSsavampa River,
and il is said that if any one drinks of the
water he is forever after incapable of
telling the truth. The victims of this
mysterious stream are known as HASA
yamps." 1t may be only a coincidence,
but one of our members of Congress visit
ed the West some years ago, and it is pos
sible bottled some of the waters for fu-
ture use, being on the order of kleptoma-
MACS, OF are there tributaries in our coun
try? 1t nauseates me to hear of men eX
tolling the principles Of our parity whose
every act is to down those principles and
elevate themselves by the deliberate ell
slavement and smothering of its truest
opponents. This truth is fundamental,
that any people who know how to main
tain order and enforce Justice have a natu-
raj and unalienable right to manage their
own affairs in their own way, and the for
chile denial of that right is always and
everywhere criminal aggression"
The claim that the primaries were ALSO
