of which there are several.

The fact that the president and Sec
rotary OF the Independent Club OF coll
ored voters were omitted from the list
of vice presidents and the reception
committee appointed for Saturday night
is looked upon as direct slap at the
organization. 1t has been apparent
for some time that the Republican
bosses have been throwing cold water
on the club and the invidious discrim-
ination in the selections made by the
Republican committee Tuesday night
is confirmation Of this fact. That a
colored man should be ostracised and
snubbed because he chooses to exer-
else his right of free thought and cit
izenship by becoming an officer in a
club of independent voters is new
phase Of Hannaism. The Republican
committee attempting to throw sap to
the colored people has shown determ-
ination to down the independent club
but in this their efforts will fail if the
temper Of those who have been thrown
down is understood.
Yesterday was pay day at the Kidd
and Schick mines, west of the city.
The miners at Schick's, as usual, had
a full pay, having made twelve days
in the two weeks. The Kidd miners
made nine days in the two weeks,
which is better than the average for
the last half dozen pays. The other
3. & 0. mines have been making in
different time all summer and fall.

Lavosier Spence, Democratic nomi
nee for Congress, is opposed to trusts.
He fought against the sale of. the
Aetna-Standard mill to the American
Tin Plate Company, and the enemies
he made among the stockholders by his
persistent opposition are to-day work
ing for the election of the Hanna
ticket. Gill is friend of Hanna.
Hanna is for trusts and imperialism.
Spence is opposed to both. Which will
look after the interests of the plain,
common people best if sent to Con-
gress?,
