advanced themselves further than the
world gives them credit for.
Today there is slumbering in the
factories and sweat shops of the
United States human beings, who re-
ceive even less consideration than
the former "black slaves of the south"
And it is for this humanity as we'll as
its own members, that the American
Federation of Labor is striving
and trying to induce human minds
and hearts, to abolish. In the tomor-
row of hundred years hence, no such
condition of human slavery will pre-
vail. Like many other reform move
ments that have laid dorment for a
period of years. the adjutation for the
short hour system, is imbedded in the
minds of the present generation, and
her victories are now assured.

Conger's Guhernatorial Aspirations.
Des Moines, Feb. 19.-Congressman
John A. T. Hull made the following
authorized statement in Washington
last night, which was telegraphed
here, regarding the charges that he
had withheld Minister Congers cable
that the latter would be candidate
for governor:
AS soon as / received word that
Minister Conger would accept, wrote
to parties in Iowa and hoped that mat
tiers, might be arranged so that all
would unite on Minister Conger anc
avoid factional fight. only knew of
the Cummins meeting on the day it
was held. A prominent republican of
Iowa was in my room when | men
toned the matter, and he said he
knew that Cummins would not run, as
he had it over his own signature. I
had the same information from other
sources so did not dream of compli-
cations in the seventh district. Be-
sides, Mr.. Cummins had told me that
if defeated for senator, he would not
again be candidate. | should not be
blamed for believing that Mr.. Cum
minis meant what he said. did know
that Mr.. Foster wanted to be COVER
nor, but had no reason to suppose
he would be candidate this year. He
had said to me quite while ago that
some time he wanted that Office. I
had no idea events would move with
such rapidity or that strong men
swearing they never would consent,
would rush into the fray with such ar.
dor. 1t was known to many that Min
lister Conger would accept While
not given to the press, it was in a
sense public.
THE Leader states that Judge Stew
ems left Washington before the Cum
minis meeting was informed that Con-
ger would accept. 1t is possible that
this knowledge fastened the an
nouncement of certain candidates. II
Minister Conger's name is pushed, it
will be in the interest of no clique or
faction. 1t will be because he be-
longs to no faction and can serve the
party and all interests of Iowa,
After the announcement of other
candidates, l felt like entirely with
drawing the Conger statment, but it
had gotten beyond my control and /
could not have kept it secret if had
so desired"

PEOPLES PULPIT.
Concerning the coIored Voter.

1t is reported that there is a grow
ing sentiment among the colored vo-
tiers of Ottumwa against the republic
an party. In order to contradict this
statement and set the publiv at right
concerning the matter, I beg leave to
submit the following facts:
The reason given for this falling of
among the colored men is the state
ment that they receive no favors
from the republican party in return
for their votes. OF course, the repub-
lican party is to blame for the scar
city of colored men employed in the
city Offices now, as they have, for the
last four years, been in complete pow
er in Ottumwa's government.
1t is very true that had the demo-
Gratis been in power we would have
had janitor, at least.
OF course, there are some colored
men in the city who do not vote their
true sentiment, but are out for money
at every election, and the representa-
tives of this class were turned down"
by both democrats and republicans
at the last election. Honest polite
ians have at last discovered the spirit
of these men and hereafter their lit
tie game will fail to work. Some say
that the scarcity of colored men at
the convention is an indication that
they have bolted from the party, while
the truth of the matter is that had
there been more of them at the ward
primaries they would have stood a
better chance of being elected to at
tend the convention, and they can
blame none but themselves. AS it is,
they are not finding any fault with
their representation in the convention
1t having been known all along that
the republican party would put in the
field the foremost men of the city and
the colored men had faith enough in
the party to stay at home knowing
that their interests would be we'll
looked after. Since the nominations
were made, have talked with num-
Der of influential colored voters of OF
tumwa, and they are all perfectly sat
isfied with the ticket, and promise
their full support.
1t is true that, as has been said, the
colored voters of Ottumwa smell a
rat" but not as some of our friends
would like to have us think. 1t is
easy to see that under the existing
Slty LlC SOlOlCd luSh
are not over-generously provided for,
and there is no reason to believe that,
should the present officers be reflect
ed the provision would be any more
generous. The election of the present
city officials was due largely to the
fact that many of the colored voters
bolted from the republican ranks two
years ago, and those who did have
found no resulting reward.
merely state these facts to dispel
any doubts in the public mind of the
sincerity of the honest colored voters.
Ottumwa is no exception to the rule
that in every community there are
two classes of voters, the honest and
the dishonest. 1t goes without saying
that the vote is worth more and the
influence for good is greater, of the
former class than of the latter.
