IA vote for Bryan this year means
the Endorsement of Democratic meth
ods In the south and Democratic intOl-
erance and rowdyism in the west,
where recently the Republican vice
presidential candidate, as we have
seen, was subjected TO the grossest in
dlgnities and insults by Democratic
mob. No better object lesson than
this could have been furnished TO Illus
trate the Democratic idea Of free
speech.
A Creature of Party.
even though Mr.. Bryan may be
ever so well inclined toward the negro
we must not lose sight Of the fact that
no man is greater than his party, that
the thing created is not greater than
its creator. Mr.. Bryan is the creature
Of the assorted Democracy Of the coun-
try, and 1t will not permit him to put
into execution his good intentions Gf
he has any In respect Of the negro. He
will have to reckon with B. r. Tillman
of South Carolina and a goodly COM
pany of fire eating southern Democrats
II, in the event of his election, he
should attempt to recognize the negro
as a man and a citizen. He has not
the courage to do 1t now, and 1t Is
doubtful if he would attempt 1t then.
II stand ready to do anything + can
by voice, pen or hand to bring about
the triumphant election Of William Nc
Kinley and Theodore Roosevelt, who
stand for the principles that make for
prosperity and the security Of the
rights Of citizenship"

BISHOP CLINTONFS APPEAL.
No ColOred Men Should Dream of
Voting For Bryan.
Read His Eloquent Declaration In
Behalf OF Mckinley and ROOse-
veIt and Good Government.

Bishop George ". Clinton Is one Of
the best known and most influential
men In the great a. NJ. E. Zion Church
South, and his views on any question,
religious or secular, are bound to at
tract attention because he always says
something worth remembering. At
Memphis the other day the bishop had
occasion to give his views on the pres
ent political situation and the duty Of
the negro and, as usual, clarified the
atmosphere with the following cogent
and well thought out opinion
Ito my mind the present Is one OF
the most crucial periods In the history
Of the American nation. The present
political campaign is one Of the most
important since the election OF Lin

county court two years later. Was the
only coIored representative in the
Fifty first Congress and as reelected
to the Fifty second Congress, appoint
ed Recorder of Deeds of the District OF
Columbia in 1897, by President McKin-
ley.
It was conceded on all sides that Mr..
Cheatham made one of the most con-
vincing, logical and eloquent speeches
ever heard in this city. Men like Rev.

coin. The election OF lincoln gave US
the amended constitution, the emanci-
patton and citizenship for the Ameri-
can negro. Upon the election Of Nc
Kinley depends the maintenance Of
the amended constitution and the citi-
Kenship Of the negro.
'T have not thought 1t necessary un-
I'll quite recently TO express myself on
these matters, since believed that the
American people had too much sense
to take any backward steps at such q
time as this. However, the action OF
men like Bishop Turner and few 9TH
ers who are styled race leaders In de-
claring themselves In favor Of the cleo
ton OF Bryan, in the face Of the fact
that his politics Is as many colored as
Joseph's coat and his chief henchmen
are such men as Red Handed Tillman,
who acknowledged upon the floor Of
the United States senate that In his
state negroes are shot. robbed Of their
ballot and the like, make it necessary
TO do so. Furthermore, when we see
that neither Mr.. Bryan nor his party is
willing to speak out against the wrongs
being heaped upon our people, how can
any sane and thoughtful negro support

feel that this is the time when every
negro who loves his race and every
friend who wishes the race well should
vote for the best interests of the coun-

j. Z. Bullock and Dr.. g, 81. Payne,
old public speakers. state that the argu-
ment used by Recorder Cheathsm was
unauswerable.
Mr.. Cheatham commenced his ad
dress by compllmenting West Virginia
on its marvellous commercial growth,
and the people of Charleston on their
politeness e1d hospitality, the grand
eur Of our natural scenery and of the
untold wealth that lies hidden in our
mountains. He then laur ched into
the body Of his speech and from bis
lips there came one of those ma'chIess
gems OF oratory that inspire the soul
with better thoughts and higher aims,
and lift mankind above the sordid
things Of earth to a realm of bliss.
With the eloquence born of young
life descended from one of those grand
old strains that have made North Caro-
lima famous for her brilliant sons ar d
lovely daughters, the spesker moves
into one grand sweet song the most
beautiful, the most, sublime thoughts,
and as he spoke of the Jim Crow car
laws of the democratic party, their s
franchlsing schemes, the cOlored men
who sell their very citizenship for
shining sheckels, of the distinguieht d
theologians who have been led of by
promises OF office and station, of the
man who dickers with one political
party In the day.and the other at night,
the audience sat as If spellbound drink
Ing down every word and when he
raised his hands above his head and
exclaimed in eloquent tones: BY
George, West Virginia is republican by
Is OOO," the applause was continuous
for FIVE minutes, and when the speaker
had finished there was universal regret
that the ripping music OF bis words
could not, like Tennyson's brook flow
on forever.
Space will not permit US to ,ubJjsh
bis speech in full. But in an elo
quent and thrilling, convincing and
argumentative manner he discussed
every issue now before the American
people. He said that he was on the
side that God Almighty wanted to see
win and that under the benificent rule
of William Mckinley the grass was
greener, cattle were fstter, people were
healthier. money more plentiful and
the country more prosperous.
He amused the audience by telling
very appropriate and pointed anee

WHILE the changes in rules of the Re
publican party adopted by the convention
on Saturday are not sweeping nor numer.
GUS they are right to the point and will
doubtless be benefcialiin the conduct of
future conventions. There cannot be any
doubt that the two convention system will
be an improvement over the old style that
has so long been in vogue. The fear that
there will not be enough good material
for delegates to two conventions will pro-
badly fade out of sight when the time for
the primaries arrives. Perhaps this very
thing will have the effect desired by one
delegate that the people would come out
to the primaries. The rule compelling a
delegate to be resident of the township
or precinct he represents will also have a
beneficial effect, albeit it will prevent any
interference with some who cannot get to
conventions in any other manner and with
others who, by the great number of years
they have so consistently served the party,
know better what is for the good of other
folks than the latter themselves do.

men and women, have prepared the Shaker
Digestive Cordial for many years, and it is
always the same simple honest curative
medicine that has helped to make the
Shakers the healthy long lived people tina

digestion. This is partly owing to their
simple mode of life, partly to the wonder
full properties of Shaker Digestive Cordial.
Indigestion is caused by the stomach
