ONE CASE OF MANY.
AWOrkiagman Tells Why Ne No long-
or Believes Ia BRYAN.

0r @&AGNGS 90 BgY@ms
A prominent citizen whose name
is known throughout and beyond
Indiana asked a carpenter whom
he knows how he was getting on.
His reply was that he had had all
the employment he could ask for
at good wages the past three years,
and he volunteered the remark that
full employment was quite gem
eral and the times were much better
now than they were before 1897.
eff this is the case, - asked the citi-
zen, why are SO many mechanics
reported to be following Mr.. Bryan
AGAIN." Thereupon the carpenter
replied; II voted for Mr.. Bryan in
1896; I was led to believe that it
was the best thing I could do for
myselfand family. Before that cleo
ton I had seen dreary days. I could
could get little work, my wife and
children were in need, and T was
forced to ask for tempory relief.
Since the summer Of 1897 I have
had full employment, and an" able
to support my family in comfort.
During 1896 got a days work now
and then, but I had little to take
in my dinner pail. Now I have a
square meal, and my children do
not go to school hungry. This
come after the election of Mckinley,
I have come to think it will stay il
Mckinley is elected again. At any
rate am going to vote for him,
and others like myself whom / know
viii do the same thing. We'd be
fools if we didn't"

MORE SCANDALS.

The TRIBUNE is informed that
Democratic candidates and those
who are working for them are cir
culating stories intended to blacken
the reputation ofSumner w. Dee,
Republican candidate for Sheriff.
1t is useless to attempt to refute all
the SANDERS which the fusionists in
their desperation set afloat. All
that needs be said in this connection
IS that Mr.. Dee is well known cit
lien and business man of Caldwell.

To Revive to the Union League.

Editor The Colored AmeIican:-l
have been 80 much enthused and en-
couraged by the splendid showing made
at the Eeeeut Boston Convention of
of Colored Business Men that [ THINK
il would be grand idea to revive the
Union League and get up complete
directory of all the business enterprises
tradesmen, artisans, dentists, lawyers,
physicians, etc., together with COM
pendulum of all the churches, lodges
and other organizations of the colored
people of the District OF Columbia. In
other words I think that permanent
record should be made Of our profes
sional, industrial, commercial and or
gained statue in the National capital,
at the close of the 10th century. Such
q record would be OF incaleulable value
to future generation as basis for de
termining the future growth of the
race. The agitation which it will de
velop will also be Of great advantage to
the coIored business men, as it will di-
rect attention to them.
Let me hear from any one who ap-
proves of this idea through the columns
of The Colored American or by private
letter. ANDRE y F. HILYER.
