he did was to call conference of pfomi.

out Invitations to that conference, be

BISHOP b. W. ARNETT.

ing nf brainy men from the South to
discuss national issues In Ohio. is the
vsriest kind Of demigogery. II white
speakers are called from every state to
goin.every state nothing but very mar
row Afro American will protest against
speakers of his own race being shown
the same honor by the members of his
race, In national campaign it is sup
posed that men of national reputation
will be sent into the various states to
make speeches, and 1t Is indeed small
Alto American who will object to one
OF their race of national reputation, no
matter whether he comes from the
South, North, East or West, being as
signed to make political speeches. The
colored voters of Ohio have demanded
that their own prominent speakers be
recognized. When this is done there
should be no objection to colored apeak-
ers of other states being assigned. 1t is
little we get at best, and that being
true we cannot afford to be always ~
dulging in internal and external strife.
It is known that George A. Myers, as
member Of the state committee rose
above such policy and recommended
speakers from other states, as we'll as
several in Ohio, and he recommended
some OF his fac!ional enemies as well as
his friends, as be believed bis first duty
was to serve the whole people, In the
interest of his party, instead Of any
one faction.
Thus far, in Ohio, there appears very
little political enthusiasm, and this
apathy is true of both parties. The
voters are thinking instead of talking.
However, there Is hardly question of
doubt as to the republicans carrying
Ohio, though 1t ls possible that the
plurality may not be quite 30 large as
four years ago. The Celored vote cannot
be said to be In line nor out OF line
THE eontingene is simply thinking, just
like the whites, and while the demo
Gratis may capture few, the great ma
jority will vote the republican ticket.
Not out of gratitude, nor because they
believe the republican party possesses
them body and soul, but because they
believe that republican success is the
best for the industrial welfare Of the
country.

work for his party, and his services are

Columbus Ohio, Special-The political
situation in Ohio, far as the colored vote
is concerned is peculiar one. Aping
his white brother in politics, as he does
in everything else, the Afro Americans
of Ohio are split up In several factions,
each striving, not for the supremacy,
but to kill off each other II the dove of
peace could only light here among the
colored brethren of the Buckeye state,
much good could be accomplished,a and
the future of the race in this state might
possibly be greatly enhanced. Just now
Bishop Arnett, who has always been
acknowledged an administration man
is being viciousIy assailed for the part
he IS alleged to have played In advising
President Mckinley against the policy
of incorporating paragraph in his an.
nual message anent the lynchings In
the South. The men who heretofore
had trained with the good Bishop are
among most vociferous against him,
joining hands, as 1t were, with those
who had always opposed the Bishop.
