advancement Of the negro do not in

(Chicago Record Herald.l
Booker Washington, when passing
through Chicago some months ago,
talked in an animated way for an hour
or more to a representative Of the Rec
Herald about the subject that is
now exercising the minds of some of
the extremists in the south-the social
relations between the white man and
the negro. 1t is safe to say that if
these men could meet and talk with Mr.
Washington and were prepared to sum
up the result without the bitter slave
day bias that characterizes them now
they would see in the future a better
era for the cOlored man, and might

sympathy from the contact.

The bitter warfare betW cen the Con.
ger and TOckey factions which has
been growing day by day, has reached
such a white heat that Congressman
Brick Is not likely TO appoint either
candidate. He cannot safely take sides
with either the Conger or the Yockey
enthusiasts. Some of Conger's support.
ers claim that if Yockey is appointed
the day of reckoning will not be far Off
They would accept either Simons OF
Slater and surrender, but to the Yockey
crowd-never. Those back of Mr..
ockey are just as determined to have
vengeance in case Conger is appointed
\ ockey's friends also admit that they
could accept either Slater or Simons, if
Mr.. Y ockey must go down, but they
will fight for their man to the last
ditch. Conger's friends claim that
Jockey, acting as deputy postmaster
under appointment IF Conger, is very
ungrateful to pose ss candidate while
drawing a salary by the grace of Mr.
Conger and it is very likely that Y ockey
will lose his position ss deputy in con.
sequence, should Conger succeed.
Jockeys friends, on the contrary, say
that he is under no obligations at all
to Mr.. Conger; that Jockeys with.
drawsl four years ago was with the
tacit understanding that he should be
deputy in lieu of the influence thrown
to Mr.. Conger; that, further, Conger
had agreed to split the salary even with
Mr.. Yockey and after getting installed
forgot to do 80. MIR. YOCkey recog.
nizes the fact that he will be deposed
in case COnger succeeds, and on this
account is willing to accept Mr.. Slater
or Mr.. Simons in case he can not sue
ceed himself. Bonham and Hendricks
seem to have been lost sight of COM
pletely for reasons given in this paper
last week.
Apparently the Conger support will
in the main go to Simons when the
crash comes and the Yockey support
will mostly line up in support of Mr..
Slater.
Both of these gentlemen have q good
healthy following in the city and sur
rounding country and each have been
conducting a friendly and judicious
campaign. The factional fight referred
to has brought about conditions that
insure the postoffice to one or the other
unless Congressman Brick should to-
tally disregard his own future IN effect

SO far as the Independent is con-
cerped, it has not a particle of interest
in the outcome, except that it desires a
good, faithful and safe postmaster. 1t
would very much dislike to be called
upon to make the selection, as most all
are personal friends. Whatever de-
