T. Thomas Fortune, the professional
negro who edits the New York Age. has
been giving the Republican party some
advice. He says:
We want here in the most emphatic
manner to call the attention of the Repub-
lican party 10 the fact that having lavished
honors and favors and all sorts of things
on this Southern aggregation of seifshness
and bgotry and devitry it came Up sml-
ing with a solid vote against the national
credit and honoc. There is nothing sharper
than the seTpent's tooth when you have
warmed it III your bosom. There is Fitz-
NtNS''A '-H>' ~ - co-l-ieN, q Ai4t@JOi =
there IS Join g. Gordon, of Georgia, a
Encouragement: there is Joseph Wheeler, of
Alabama, a nia jor-scneral, retired on half
pay; there is John Gray Evans, Of South
a!olina, the man who signed the dis
franchisement bill in South Carolina, q
brigadiergeneral; there is a long list Of
Southern scoundrals who were put forward
with the purpose of conc!l?at;ns the South
What did the party set out Of it?
What does the President think Of the re-
turns which the Southern States a2ve
made to him fer all the favors WHICH he
to them in tie Span!sh-Anercan
war? The viper that the Egyptian thaWed
out of his conlatose condition stung him
to death. If the Egyptian had lived long
enough after he. had been stung. we have
a mind that the Egyptian would have
made it entirely hot for that viper He
who runs may read.P
He declares that the Republican party
in the South must be reorsanized by the
loyal black Republicans who were true
to the Republican cause when the white
were antagonistic TO it. We
shall accept no policy he says, "Repub-
lican or other. which subordtnates black
men il their official authority in councils
o. the party. We believe in the Republi-
ca party fecausc it is the party Of equal
ity We Want 10 max it strong in the
South, but we do not purpose to do it by
the black Republicans who have
fought for it in sunshine and III storm.
Let black r:er stand TO their guns
1t is thu professional negroes like For
tune and the Northern carpet-baggers who
have forced the Southern whites to stand
ro.;et'ier, and the surest way to keep them
'ogatter and to prevent the Republican
party from being countenanced in this
section is for these chaps TO continue in
control of the organization. But Fortune
S doing good. He is giving the Northern
people an excellent object lesson.
