TEDDY Roosevelt said in his letter of
acceptance of the free silver issue OF
the silver Republicans:
II lnSincere in their championship
Ihey' OF course. forfeit all right to be-
IleI OF support on any ground. If sin
cere, then they are a menace 10 the
welfare OF the country"
Were You insincere in 1896? / think
you We're II you change, and are not
worthy of belief.
Now, to you, my colored friends, 1
Wish TO show that the So-caIIed Repub-
lican party is not the Lincoln Repub-
hcan party or the party. of freedom
ana JuStlce TO the negro Is not the So
called republican party in power in
the nation, state and municipality?
men II so, Why are you not occupying
lucrative positions in the nation, state
or municipality Are you not by ma
ture, capability and franchise able to
mold places of responsibility? I say
yes. But do you get anything from the
so-called Republicans except positions
as scavengers and dog catchers. which
are held out to you only for your
votes? They have for years appealed
TO your prejudices. which should not
exist in free America They work on
your sympathies, make catspawS of
you, and slip into office, while you
delve in poverty.
Such, my friends, are not your true
friends. Does the so-called Republican
president show any sympathy or take
any action on the many killings and
atrocities committed since he has oc-
cupled the chair that your true friend
"a. Lincoln) occupied? If he is your
friend he should at once institute pro-
ceedings and stop such butchery. Why
do such conditions exist in the south
more than any other place? Because
his so-called Republican carpetbaggers
agitate and work on the colored preju-
dices, Keeping up a feeling of hatred
between white and black. If he was
your friend he would at once call the
carpetbaggers from the south. Let
the negro alone and he would be able,
competent and patriotic enough to adj
just his own relations amicably with
the white man. The southern people
are by nature friends to the colored
race if left alone. This I have been
told by educated colored men time and
again.
Then why support at the ballot box
Mckinley. who is your friend only on
paper and for your votes? Not only
that. your race has been accused of
cowardice at the front in battle by
TOady Roosevelt, now fiattering you
, for your ballot. Is he your friend
And can you support him for vice pres
My friends, cheer UP. Look forward
for your advancement Act like men
and true Americans. Vote your prtncl-
pies and not your -prejudices. Then
the time will soon come when you can
demand your rights as true. loyal
Americans Show a disposition to do
right and our next president. that
great and noble American, William J.
Bryan. will see that you get justice.
The American people are tired of
/ toadying TO imperialism. militarism and
trusts as Mckinley is doing. They will
not have taxation without representa-
