like all large bodies of colored men,
the representatives who met at Indian
apels were Republicans in the proper
ton of ten to one, vet 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 and fight together for the
things upon which his very existence
depends-liberty and the pursuit of
happiness
The Celored American eongratu
lates the Council On its 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 common ground
where all our men of character, intel
lect and high purpose may meet ano
discuss the Negroes welfare regardless
of political afiations.

The AERo.AMERIcAN COUNCIL.

There can be nothing but words of
praise and commerdation for the dig
pifed and conservative manner in
which the Afre'American Council did
the work of its annual meeting recently
held in Indianapolis, 1t was by far
the best meeting that the organization
has held since its creation in Rochester.
New York several years ago. In rep
resentation it was surprisingly large
when one takes into consideration the
fact that it is no longer brand new
scheme with all the attraction that
novelty commands. In the intellectual
makeup Of those who participated in
the proceedings, it was a great i'm
provement over its other annual ses
sions. 1t was singula-ly free from the
nonsensical, rabid and extremely radi'
cal tone and expression of SO many
conventions which have been he d by
colored men in years gone by. In
short the gathering was all that every
thoughtful colored man wanted it to be
and its address to the country is au
able, sensible and conservative doeu'
ment, stating the case of the Negro as
it should be stated in a calm, dignifed
and manly way.
Nothing that was done by the con-
vention commends it more to the
judgement of thoughtful men more
than its refusal to be turned into a
politically partisan gathering. Any
such step would have been fatal and
would have given the National Coun'
Gil a set back from which. perhaps, it
would never have recovered. 1t would
have been the cause for driving away
from future meetings many useful men
who do not wish to jotn in political
wrangles outside of political csnven-
tons. Furthermore. any political
expression given out by such a body
"a the Afro-American Council can win
no votes for any party because the
Council would forfeit the respect of all
honest men because by going into pol
itics it would be dishonest by violating
one Of its cardinal principles and its or
ganic law. We have no doubt that

The "Reuben" Band.

The band boys created lots of fun last
Friday Directly after noon, horns,
flies, drums, etc, were heard in various
parts of town. 1t was an unusual per-
formance, and the people didn't tnder-
stand it. We supposed it was simply a
new scheme of one of the rival shows.
The "Reubens" were seen emerging froE:
the alleys, srnglv and in little groups.
They were grotesquely dressed and were
so completely disguised by ragged clothes
aud paint that it was difficult to distin-
puish the members of the band. The
boys finally met near the Auditorium and
rendered some good music. The whole
affair was a scheme to advertise the ball
and ice-cream supper to be given that
highland it was great success.
The ball and supper was success, too.
The BOYS cleared a nice sum, and they
expect soon to have new uniforms.
The Citizens band is rapidly coming
to the front. 1t is already one of the
hest bands in the state.
BY the wav, those Thursday evening
concerts in the park are fine. and the
people of the city should show their APP
probation by turning out en- masse.

For Probate Judge.

{. c. Ieech, of Indian Greek township
is talked of for the office of probate
Judge. Mr. Leech is an old citizen of An
derson county, and is well known. Mr.
Leech has the advantage of a three years
course of study in the Wesleyan College,
of Springfield, Mass. He was an en-
ploye on the Boston & Albany railway
for ten years previous to 1870. He
came to Kansas in 10, and engaged in
the service of the NJ. X. & T. railway III
the capacity of passenger conductor.
Some years later, he engaged in the bus
mess of farming and stockraisng in In
dian Greek township, where he has lived
during the past quarter of century.
Mr.. I.eech has filled the office of town
ship treasurer two terms and of trus-
tee two tcrms-four terms in succession
He is Populist, and has done good
work for the cause of reform ever since
he left the Republican party. As Indian
Greek township has not been represented
on the county ticket for many years, his
friends think he is in the proper location
to receive recognition from the fusion
forces this year

Another Candidate.

w. w. Pratt, of Monroe township is
q candidate for the office of probate
iudge-that is, he is provisional candi-
date If the conference committee OF
Populists and Democrats concludes that
the Office of probate judge shall go to
the Populists. Mr. Pratt is candidate
If the committee decides that the office
shall go to the Democrats, then he is not
candidate.
Mr.. Pratt is one of the original Popu-
lists. He was one of the delegates to
the great convention at Cincinnati which
brought into being the Peoples party.
He has always taken lively interest IN
, the welfare of the party, and has filled
the Office of township trustee OF Monroe
township. His LOYALTY to the party can
NOT be questioned. Should he receive the
nomination or should he not, he will be
found working for the realization and
success of the principles upon which the
Peoples party was founded
