The selection of Mr.. Charles w. An
deTsOn as committeeman at large by
the state committee of New York will
give very general satisfaction to the
rank and file Of the colored voters OF
the Empire State. Mr. Anderson is
eminently qualified for the duties OF
this position and we are sure that under
his direction the in terests OF the Negroes
OF the state will not suffer.
The unsnimity with which the white
republicans of New York got together
at Saratoga during the recent cOnven-
tion there to nominate governor and
state officers is an object lesson to col.
ored men in the party in the state who
have a weakness for cut throat politics
and whose inordinate ambition and
trans parent Incompetency as leaders

That sterling republican the Hon

vigorous and masterfuI excoriation o.
the South at Elmira some time since
which excited so much favorable com

still believes that the danger TO the
republic is not past while the rights ol
any citizen are denied by force or
fraud or arbitrary legislation. And Mr..
McDOnough is right. Pretty soon the

over again. If this thing keeps up.
