the amended constitution, the emanci-

Kinley depends the maintenance Of
the amended constitution and the citi-
Eenship of the negro.
'T have not thought it necessary un-
til 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
Bryan?

J. Z. Bullock and DR.. G. 81. Payne,
old public speakers. state that the argu-
ment used by Recorder Cheatham was
unanswerable.
Mr.. Cheatham commenced his ad
dress by compllmenting West Virginia
on its marvellous commercial growth,
and the people of Charleston on their
politeness and hospitality, the grand
eur of our natural scenery and of the
untold wealth that lies hidden in our
mountains. He then laun ched into
the body Of his speech and from bis
lips there came one of those matchless
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 grapd d
old strains that have made North Caro-
lima famous for her brilliant SONS ar
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 8
franchlsing schemes, the colored men
who sell their very citizenship for
shining sheckels, of the distinguishe d
theologians who have been led off 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 his words
could not, like Tennyson's brook few
on forever.
Space will not permit US to cubJish
his 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 fatter, people were
healthier. money more plentiful and
the country more prosperous.
He amused the audience by telling
very appropriate and pointed anee
