One Locke Craig, who is Senator
Prltchard's foremost rival in the con-

us the cheering CD proclamation that
the Negro will stay out of politics for
ever, claiming to speak for 100000
white yeomen. Maybe, but we doubt il.
Since the tide seems to be running
toward greater tolerance for Negro
democracy, will the Hon. James C.
Matthews be kind enough to emerge
from the cavern he has been occuDying
for some years? Likewise, may we ex-
pect the resurrection of Prof. Herbert
A. Clark, Of Mississippi.
+ No party has enough sure votes TO
guarantee success at the polls in a

doubtful votes that are sought. The

have special charge of the many de-
tails that occur at the door of the Sec
retary. He knows the weight of every
public man, and never has a visitor
failed to secure an audience with the
Secretary who ought to see him, and
IL is not OF record that an interloper
ever got by who needed a gentle as
Slst into the open air. Upon the re-
turn OF Secretary Root from Europe,
Major Brooks was the first to welcome
him at the dock in New York.
Throughout the admin istration of Cen
eral Alger, Major Brooks was always
consulted in matters where the wei
fare of the cOlOred troops was involv-
ed, and many of the measures for
which practical politicians claimed
credit were really due to the sensible
and timely suggestions of the watch
ful commander of the local battalion.
The Man-On-the-COrner regrets that it
is not possible at this juncture to throw
upon the canvas a counterfeit present
ment of the handsome features of so
useful and versatile a man as this
snapshot briefly outlines.
