for vice president. while fully ex-
pected, came at time particularly
pleasing to the friends of Mr.. Steven

latter's notification of his nomination
on the democratic ticket, it naturally
turns the populists' attention more
strongly in his direction and renders
his Endorsement by the party more
likely.

like all large bodies of colOred men,
the representative who met at Indian
apelis were Republicans in the proper
ton of ten to one, yet it would have
been exceedingly poor policy in these
men to have forced any partisan pOlit
ical expression from the Convention
that would have driven away the men
who did not agree with them in poll
tics There are good men in all par
ties and the Negro needs all of his
strong forces Just at this time TO get
together aud fight together for the
things upon which his very existence
depends-liberty and the pursuit of
happiness.
The Celored American congratu.
lates the Council on It's good work and
its President on his address. We hope
that the Council will not get into poll
tics as long as there is go much other
important work for it TO do. Let the
men who compose these annual meet
ings have their political pow vows at
home before they come TO the meetings
OF the Council, or after they return to
their respective States when the work
Of the Council is finished. Let the
Council be kept as a common ground
where all our men of character, intel
lee. and high purpose may meet and
discuss the Negro's welfare regardless
of political sffiations.
