moment he attempted to interfere IN

genial gentleman, J. r. Clifford, Esq,
in noticing In a recent issue Of his Ia
per come remarks of mine on coloreo
democrats, admits the correctness OF
my position thereon in language " hlch
cannot be misunderstood.
But judging from the tenor OF the
editorial in question the esteemed Plo-
neer Press has been or is about to be
politically metsmorphosed, over against
the sibs Of commission with which L
charged the democratic party of the
South and the culpable element OF
that party in the North. 1t places
few things which the republican party
has failed to 90 for The Negro, as II
that was q reasonable answer to the
charges against tine Southern democra
cy. The Pioneer Press also states that
sit is easy for me to talk and write po-
Iticsily at long range" L beg to In
fo1m Brother Clifford that it is just as
easy for me to talk and write politically
at close range, and if he had access to
the flies Of the Portsmouth, Va, Re
publican which 1 edited in 1882, he
would discover that that journal spoke
It tiece without fear or favor OF the
Southern democracy. 80 that fighting
or writing at long OF short range makes
no difference to me, I have done both
and rather enjoy It.
[ have always maintained that the
Negro differs in no essential from other
races politically, except that he hasn't
as much political sense as some Other
races and this is against him whether
he be democrat or republican. The
Negro organized will always be more
potent factor politically than the Ne
gro d1sorgsnized. Just now he is very
badly disereanized in both political
camps. In the petty jealous1es and
mad ambition of putstlve leaders on
both sides Mr.. Clifford must find the
answer to all the "why Is its" which he
propounds In his courteous editorial re-
Joiner to my remarks on Negro demo.
Gratis who are split wide open in this
state on the question Of "who is great
est among us''. Before they will have
decided this paramount issue the cleo
ton will have taken place and the pap
distributed. There are about 3S 600
Negro voters jn New York and they
are going to seed for lack Of intelligent
organization and direction. They have
no leadership.
The colored democracy, so called, is
mostly on paper, and is OF at all dam
gerous. The colored republicans are
split up into factions, and men instead
Of principles are the issues which EN-
cage their attention. The race is not
considered. Primarily the main object
Is to establish the fact that certain men
are bigger than the race and the NUT
tonheads who are engaged ia this work
are detilmined to rule or ruin if they
can. Now suppose that the Negroes
of New York State, whether democrats
or republicans, hsd as much political
sense as the Ifish or Germans or Itsl-
ians who comprise no lnconsiderabie
part of both political parties and are
sought after by both parties, what
would they do? Why manlfestly they
would get together just as these people
do. find out what they wanted, select

but Of the local leaders who are con
umed with their own vanity and who
are ambitious to shine as big and in
fiuentisl Negroes without the mental
equipment which makes leaders lead.
In this condition Mr.. Clifford will find
the answers to some more of his "Why

he goes after it. But he isn't united
