PARSON BILLIARD REPLIES
TO MAI. GRANT'SS SPEECH.

h Colored Divine Defends His Race from
Major Grants Attack and Brings Up
Some Political Acts of Msj. Grant
That Are at Variance With His
Tuesdays Utterances.
Editor of ARGUS:-I desire
to reply to certain utterances
made by Maj. H. L. Grant in his
speech yesterday in the court
house against the negro race.
I am an ~Afro-American citizen
and help, perhaps, to make up the
5 per cent. of the race that has
aspirations.
Maj Grant says. II am opposed
to negroes holding Office, I have
always opposed it," In the main,
the above declaration is true,
technically, it is untrue,
During his first term in the
Legislature of this State, as Sena-
tor, he had five of the most ig-
norant negroes in this county
appointed magistrates i. e.,
judges-to pass upon the guilt or
innocence Of whites as we'll as
blacks. Four years ago, he went
from this county to the congress-
ional convention, which met in the
town of Weldon, and championed
the cause Of Congressman White,
and after a long and bitter strug-
gle he succeeded in having Mr..
White nominated for Congress
over Mr.. J. J. Martin, white Re-
publican, of Edgecombe county,
who was a candidate at that time.
I speak the truth and can prove
it, when I say that Mr.. White
would not have been in the Amer
lean Congress to-day but for the
ardent support Of Maj. Grant.
Maj. Grant has always been guild
ed by but one rule viz. 'sAnything
to beat the Democrats"
The Major says, SIT is only the
educated negroes who desire Of
fee"
If it is right for the negro to
aspire in politics, does it not show
wisdom on his part that only
s'educated negroes" aspire?
The Major is the ''Father ofFus-
ion" in this State. From both a
racial and party point of view, I
have, as you all know, opposed
fusion. I have contended, all along
with blood e%arnestness, that fuss
ion would prove disastrous to
my race and party.
Had not fusion obtained in this
State, the pacfc and cordial rela-
tons between the races would
have continued undisturbed. It
would have been far better for
the negro had he never cast a
fusion ticket.
Major Grant criticises ''educat-
ed negroes" for trying to teach
and preach to their people.
Surely he does not believe that
we ought to remain in intellectual
darkness.
May I ask the Major: Have you
not always had an Unsuitable ap-
petite for Off sc? Have you not
used the negro-to his detriment
Ito get where you are to-day?
Are not your anathemas hurled
against ''educated negroes" be.
cause. they think and act for
themselves. and refuse, in open
meeting, to be plant tools in the
hands of designing politicians?
Mai. Grant advises the colored
delegates to the district conven.
ton how to vote. AS / have never
had any political aspirations fol
Office, I shall not attempt to re.
advise hie delegation.
But ] desire to take this op
portunity to suggest not to hi
delegation only, but to others o.
, my race as well, to ~ cultivat'
fraternal relations with the bette,

NEWS FROM MANILA.
Insurgents Under Gen. Moxica Routed
by Major Andrews In Cebu.

Manila. May IA report from Cebu

one hundred natives were placed under
arrest. In following up clews to con-

according to UNOFFICIAL letters received
a few days ago had been attacked by a
force OF 5000 insurgents, the small
