In the Senate.

Senator Clark of Montana was on the
witness stand before the senate committee
on elections for about four hours Satur-
day, and when the committee adjourned
for the day only his examination-in-chief
had been completed, leaving his cross-ex-
animation for next Monday. His testi-
mony related solely to the charges made
against him in connection with his cleo
tion by the legislature of Montana to the
United States senate during it's sitting last
winter. He denied explicitly and categori-
cally all the charges in the testimony that
either by himself or with his connivance
or consent did he attempt to corrupt mem
beers of the legislature in his behalf, con-
tradicting many of the statements made
by witnesses for the prosecution. He adj
mitted having paid an aggregate of about
$4,000 during the campaign, but said
these expenditures were for legitimate pur-
poses only. The large outlay was due Ia
the fact, he said, that he had contracted
to pay all the expenses of campaign
against Mr.. Days rule in the state and
he had gone into the compact to that
end, because he considered Mr.. Daly's
rule tyrannical and opposed to the best
interests OF the state. Chief Justice Brant.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER II, 1900.
HON. GEO. II. WHITE.

There is host of good men In the
recent campaign who gave the party
such brilliant and excellent service
that we have been unable to give them
all the credit which is due them for
their great work. But of the many
whose lot it was to do conspicuous work
for the party none rendered more eff.
fective service than Hon. George II.
White, the only Afro o-Amerlcan Con-
gresham, None did more telling
work and none deserve mere credit.
He contributed largely to the great
victory of the republican party. The
demand on him for speechmaking was
great indeed, and by working day and
night Mr.. White was only able to fill
few of the engagements. He spoke
in the West, Middle West, and the
East, and the results In these States
speak in the strongest terms.
MIR. White never shirked from duty.
The state of New York was the battle
around from which Mr.. White brings
the greatest trophies. MF. White is
the only present member of Congress
of our race. He has been a true repre-
sentative of our interests in the bread
est sense He has been q prominent
figure in North Carolina, since he en-
tered public life. He has been mem.
Der of both houses of the state legisla-
ture, and was for eight years the state
solicitor for the second distric for North
Carolina. His career in the National
House has been marked by brilliant
service fer the race.
Mr. White is undecided whether he
will give up his citizenship in the state
of North Carolina or not, but hopes for
better conditions since the reelection
of President Mckinley. He is yet hope
full for his state, since he expects the
coming session of Congress to consider
the subject of distranchisement at the
South.
The colored American., 1900-11-17

The great political battle is over and
the right prevailed. 1t is the duty of
all citizens to return to their peaceful
vocatiOns. The Afro'American has
gained much by the reelection of Pres.
ident VIM. Mckinley and the victory
for Republican principles. Let him
take advantage OF every opportunity
and prove himself worthy of the great
and good things he helped to achieve.
