II loyalty and hard work is worth
anything to the republican party fail
to see how President Mckinley and
Senator Hanna can see their way clear
not to invite Mr.. Edward E. Cooper,
president and manager of The Colored
American, to step up to the ''pie count
er" and have anything he wants. The
Colored American Is the leading colored
journal in the United States, and there
is no doubt that thousands Of the COL
ored voters wele kept in the republi
can ranks through it's Garnet appeal to
them. Hons. George II. White John
c. Dancy, Judson w, Lyons, P. B. s..
Pinchbaek, and others took the stump
in behalf of the G. o. P, but none Of
them spoke, once every week to the
thousands Of voters that Mr.. Cooper
did through his great paper.
All of the above named true and tried
republicans have done great work and
should be cared for by this administra
tion, but none are more deserving than
Mr.. Edward E. Cooper. Ihe many
readers of The Colored American would
be glad to hear IN The near future that
Mr. Cooper's fsithfulness to the repub,
Hcan party have been recognized by
the administration, and that he has
been hauled up before the President
and sentenced to hold down a nice, fat
job for the next four years. The ad'
ministrarlon cannot well afford to ig >
more such man as Mr.. Cooper. He is
a power among the Afro Americans,

THE RESULT.

Louisiana, Mo-, Nov. 49, Editor Col.
ored American-The battle has been
fought and the victory won; the Afro.
American played no 1nconsidersble
part In the great achievement, IN fact
Mr.. Hanna and President Mckinley
were made ito see and appreciate the
necessity and invaluable service Of the
great Negro leaders as was shown by
the manner In which J. e Bruce and
Anderson OF New York, and Q. F. Ad-
ans Of Illinois, Myers Of Ohio, and The
Colored American OF Washington was
not only consulted but whose advise
was acted upon. believe that the At
ro'Amerlcan will be more important
factor In politics and in shaping the
policies of the republican party. They
will be more eagerly sought and ad'
vised with hereafter by our white party
leaders. Now let the leaders and the
great Negro newspapers take up the
unconstitutional disfranchisement of
the Negro In the Southern States; the
new reappo1tionment of Congressional
representation under the last census
affords Us a splendid opportunity to
agltate and discuss this all important
and vital question. Why don't The
Colored American take the lead In this
matter? There is no doubt that such
journals as The Colored American, New
York Age, Richmond Planet, Indian
apolis Freeman and Chicago Appeal
have power and influence with our
great party leaders and what these jour
nails and others would say would be
read and have powerful effect in fight
ing this Infamous and outrages wrong.
