Perhaps you have been notified, or
will be notified, that John c. Dancy, Of
North Carolina, will canvass your State
in the interest OF Mckinley and Roose-
welt. We wish to call your attention to
the tact that this is the same Dan"V who,
two years ago, after the wholesale kill
ing Of the colored people in Wilmington,
North Carolina, took it upon himself to
go North and circulate the report that
the colorod people were to blame for
the trouble which caused the killing OF
so many OF them.
The colored people of No rth Carolina
have always trusted Mr.. Dancy, but he
has proven himself unworthy tf the
trust reposed in him, He is one OF those
scheming politicians who place their
JOBS above their much abused people.
Let me say to the colored voters OF
these United States OF America, beware
OF Mr.. DalcY, for he has done our race
more harm, simply TO hold his fat job.
than the sainted Fred Douglass did it
good during his life of earnest toiling in
our behalf. Dsncy has deceived the
people OF our once peaceful old State,
and II given a chance he will deceive |
you. Dancy is no longer honored by |
the people Of his own State. The mark /
OF Cain is upon himl
Be it remembered. coIored brethren,

the colored Republicans have promised
Mark Hanna to deliver our entire vote
for Mckinley and Roosevelt. We have
allowed the socalled leading negroes to
sell us out long enough, and 1t is time
to call a halt.
Could we forget the fact that Mr. Nc.
KinleY has not uttered word of protest
against the creul treatment Of coIored
people who stood by him in 90, and
whose votes he is seeking for reelection,
there would be no excuse for us desert
ing him in his hour OF trials. Dancy,
Lyons, Green and others say
that Mr., Mckinley is a staunch friend Of
the negro We would like to know
from what authority these politicians
speak Mr., Mckinley has never said so.
These sche ming politicians seem to be
1t loss to see why colored man should
vote Tor Bryan. 1t is all right, with
hem, for "all" colOrsd men to vote for
after his cowardly attack on
he brave and loyal colored soldiers who
ought so gallantly at San Juan Hill, but
hey can't see, for the life of them, how
my colored man can afford to vote for
fr, Bryan.
Well, few days hence, thousands OF
egroes will show them, far better than
hey can tell themselves, how the Job :
an be done. (
We have alweys been true to the
republican party, end If Mark Hanna
nd the President can give Just cause
DR. laying aside the principles Of the
republican party, surely the colOrc d
oters can give good reasons for laying
EN- aside. The negro has been cruelty
-eated under the present Republican
administration, and he has greater
ause Tor deserving the Republican party
)day than he has had stree his eniran-
lsement. IF the negro will do his duty

claim that we have allied ourselves
} the Republican party, as race, too
ng for our good. In the South the
sgro's best friends are Democrats, and
e sooner he realizes that fact and
.ases fighting them, the better it will
, for him. We have nothing to lose
casting our vote Tor Brvan and
evenson. We can very we'll afford to
low such race lovers as Bishop H. M,
lrner, Hon, w. Lee Person, 7. Milton
Irner and scores OF others.
Again | say, beware OF Daucy, Cheat
m and the rest OF the self styled
sders; they are not interested in the w w
,lfare OF their race. They want to see
cKinleI reelected in order to hold
cir fat jobs. What care they for the

'uld hardly speak to you after the
