HON. THOMAS G.HAYES.
The Recently Elected Mayor of
the Monumental City.

Baltimore, Md, Special Hon. T. G.
Hayes the recently elected mayor Of
Baltimore, is man Of unquestionable
character, portraiting all the executive
virtues that the responsibility OF his po
sition demands. He ia gentleman
not only opposed to rowdyism, turbu-
lance and WantOn violation of the Law,
which has been growing prevalent IN
many Of our large cities, but he can be
truly placed among the unquestionahle
white friends 0f the Negro race. 1t Is
belle we'd that the Negroes made no
serious mistake by giving Mr.. Hayes
their support in the recent election.
His speech made last week at the Sharp
Street NJ. E. church, (colored) in con-
nection with these of Mrs. Ida B. Wells
B arnett and Others was highly ap-
plau ded by the colored people of thi,
city, in which address he 80 vividIy ex-
pressed his tender fe cling and appreci-
alton of those identified to the Negro
race. The representative of The Col
ored American was courteously re,
ceived last week by the mayor, and we
can only predict nothing but healthy
and sound administration under the
executive advice of the worthy chief
tam. He Is further q man that needs

Thomas J. Galloway, Special Agent
for the Negro exhibit at the Paris Ex-
position, was IN town for about a week,
recently. While here, Mr.. Galloway
called meeting of the leading men Of
our city, and outlined a plan for secur-
ing exhibits from this section. Chica-
go will be the only Northern city from
which Mr.. Galloway will take exhibits
to Paris. Mr.. Galloway left last We'd

Mr.. Theodore W. Jones addressed the

eager and anxious hands to receive it,
The present incumbent, Hon. E. 81.
Wright, who has served two terms, is a
candidate for re election. Mr.. Wright
has the merit of having made good
commissioner, and of having achieved a
powerful influence in the county
board, He has been, at various times,
the leader Of faction in the board and
last week was the only member of the
board to make speech discussing the
finances of Cook county. 1t is need
less to say that he is strongly intrench-
ed III the favor of the powers that be,
and it may be that he will represent
the coLered people for another term IN
that office.
There are so many other candidates
that cannot mention all. The more
prominent of them are ]. Norman
Croker, Hale e. Parker, Samuel NJ.
Jackson, R. E. Moore and Col. John
r. Marshall. Dol. Marshall Is also a
strong man with the '1eaders," and it
may be that if Mr.. Wright be ''rotated"
out of office, that Col. Marshall may be
the man to draw the $4,000 salary that
attaches to the Office.
The two prominent candidates for
Governor from this county, are Judge
Elbridge Hanecy, of the Circuit Court,
and Judge Orrin N. Carts, of the Coun'
ty Court, Judge Hanecy's name Was
first mentioned in this connection by
Hon. E. II. Morris at meeting of the
3rd ward republican club. Since then
his boom has grown, and he bids fair
to win the nomination. Meanwhile
Judge Carts, than whom there is no
better liked and more popular man in
the county, is fighting hard with the
standard cry, Of "Every man to the
primary, and down with the bosses."
1t is interesting to note the report
that has gained considerable currency
here, that in the event that Judge
Hanecy be elected Governor, his place
on the Circuit Court Bench will 60 toa
colored man. OF course, only one col.
ored man is in position TO be connected
with such rumor. 1t Is probable then,
that other interests may be sacrificed
to this object, and the next Board Of
ommissioners may not contain col
Ored man In order that a colored man
may grace the Bench Of Cook county.

DENOUNCES AN
ATTEMPT TO GEORGE
Calls Attention to Efforts of the
Trusts.

Syracuse. n. Y, Oct. 19.-WTliam J
Bryan, the Democratic standard bearer.
today experienced his second encounter
of the campaign with college students.
1t occurred at Ithaca, and the students
were from Cornell university. The in
cident was not so exciting as that at
Ann ArbOr, Mich, for the reason that
the young men were not so persistent.
and did not work in such unison.
But there was one feature of inter
est which was not noticeable at Ann
Arbor. This was the participation of
young women in the affair a hundred
or more members of the weaker sex
were stationed at windows in the high
school, Just hack and over the stage
from which Mr.. Bryan spoke, and they
disturbed the proceedings to as great
an extent as they could by lowering
posters bearing a picture of President
Mckinley so as to attract the attention
of the crowd. The young men who
were below responded to these signals
with cries and yells. While the speech
was in progress the interruption took
the shape Of questions as TO the diSpO-
sition of the Philippines, remedies for
the trusts, the race question in the
south, the ice trust and the free coinage
of silver. Replying to this last ques-
ton. Mr.. Bryan said he stood now
where President Mckinley had former
" stood on that question, and that mis-
| (dr. Bryan's) position on that and all
/ other questions was explained by the

While Mr.. Bryan was talking another

( from a window. This bore the inScrip-

The appearance of the poster called

approval. but Mr.. Bryan said that he

/ ton that has ever come to the front. .
With this sally the poster was allow
! ed to drop, and it fioated out over the
crowd. When Mr. Bryan closed he was
roundly cheered-
Mr.. Bryan was generally voted TO
have met the occasion successfully, and

HITCH IN STRIKE
SETTLEMENT
Powder Question May Keep
the Miners Out.
DETAIL IN TERMS
is DISPUTED
President Mitchell Refuses to
Announce His Stand.

HazIeton, Pa. Oct. 19.-The settle
ment of the big strike of the anthra-
cite mine workers is undoubtedly
blocked by the question of the price
miners will be asked in future to pay
for powder.
Employers have agreed to give their
men 10 per cent more wages than were
paid before the strike began, but they
insist that in figuring the net advance
of 10 per cent the reduction of S1.25 a
key in the price of powder shall be
taken into consideration.
The miners apparently want to go
back 20 work for the 10 per cent ad-
vance and then arbitrate the question
whether they are TO get their powder
cheaper as an additional condition. 1t
is not believed that the mine owners
viii grant any such demand and their
refusal may mean the indefinite pro-
longation of the strike.
Mitchell Is Non-CommittaI.
Since the Philadelphia conference of
railroad officials and operators. PreSi-
dent Mitchell has become very reticent,
maintaining an absolute silence on the
powder question When asked the di-
rect question today by a representa- tive
of the Associated Press whether an
other convention will be called to as
certain the wishes of the men on the
new complication he said:
Il prefer not to answer that"
Asked what the prospects were for
an early ending of the strike he said :
mo man in America is more DESTROYS
or more anxious TO end this contest
than myself and l have done all in nv
power to bring about an honorable
settlement"
This nOn-committal answer of the
leader of the strike helps to strengthen
the impression that the labor war is
not so near a solution as it was
thought 30 have been.
The spirit Of jubiiation that prevailed
in this region on Wednesday, has given
way to feeling of disappointment.
This is apparent everywhere.

VentiOn. held at Kansas City, July 4,

beg to express my hearty appreciation
of the support given our ticket by the
members of your party in the campaign
of 1896, and of the fidelity shown by
them during the four years which have
since elapsed. The evidence of conf
dence and good viii manifested anew
at the last national convention placed
me under renewed obligations. There is
a consistency about the human mind
which leads an individual to apply old
principles to new conditions, and 1 was
therefore not surprised to find that
those who left the Republican party in
1896 on the money question are now OPP
posed TO it on the trust question, which
has increased in Importance since 1896
and upon militarism and imperialism
the new question which the Republican
party has forced upon the public within
the last two years.

LINCOLN QUOTED.

prOpriate extracts from Lincoln's
speeches. I find in a speech by Lincoln
in 1858 defense of the Declaration of
Independence, accompanied by a fer
vent and patriotic appeal TO his cOun
trymen not to abandon the principles
therein enunciated. 1t is so applicable
to the present time and so in harmony
with the references you have made to
Lincoln's words, that I quote the fol-
lowing extract:
Now, my countrymen. If you have
been taught doctrines conflicting with
the great landmarks of the Declaration
of independence; if you have listened
to suggestions which would take away
from its grandeur and mutilate the fair
symmetry of its proportions; If you
have been inclined to believe that all
men are not created equal in those in
alienable rights enumerated by our
chart of liberty, let me entreat you to
come back Return to the foundation
whose waters spring close by the blood
of the revolution. Think nothing OF
me; take no thought for the political
fate of any man whOmSOever, but come
back to the truths that are in the
Declaration of independence. You
may do anything with me you choose.
If you will but heed these sacred prin-
ciples. You may not only defeat me
and put me to death. While pretending
no Indifference to earthly hOnors, 1
claim to be actuated in this contest by
something higher than anxiety for Of

and insignificant thought for any man 5
