GROSS FOR CITY TREASURER

GROSS FOR CITY TREASURER
It is a pleasure for us to pre-
sent the name Of our young rising
republican friend Harry r. Gross
for city treasurer, for his second
term. He has filled the Office the
past two years with such signal
ability, a business-like admins
tration, that every good citizen
approves and will show their ap-
proval by nominating him by
acclim alton, and his election will
perhaps lead the republican ticket
which is indeed a very high COM
pliment for such a young working
republican.

Captain Hull claims that he is a
friend to the colored people. His
record does not prove that to be true.
A few years ago two of our young
colored ladies passed the civil service
examina ton in q class of thirty, of
which they were almost the highest on
the list, and the records show that
over twenty-five new clerks have been
added and those colored girls names
have been evaded. Again, young
colored man from the East Side took
the highest rank in civil service exami-
nation for the Military Academy, and
he was turned down and white boy
recommended in his place. You need
not take our statement, but the records
show these facts-yet he is q friend.
Colored voters, think and act wisely on
primary day.

A FEW OFrt1E, MANY REA-
SONS WHY THE COLORED
PEOPLE ARE NOT SUPPORT
ING HULL THIS YEAR.

PEORLE AKE NJ SOTfONA
ING HULL THIS YEAR.
If we, in common, with many
other of the leading, active colored
workers have been asked once why
it was that SO many of the colored
people are against Captain Hull this
time? we have been asked hun
dred times. Among the many reasons
which is perhaps the chief reasons:
That he no longer considers his
colored constituents when in con-
gress. Second, that he has never to
our knowledge introduced one meas
ure or even made one speech in de-
tense of the colored race during his
eleven years service while il con-
sgress. Third, when colored com.
mittse waited upon him and asked
him to come to Webster Hall and
speak at mass meeting of colored
citizens in regard to the lynchings
and burnings of the colored people
in the South, his reply was in sub
stance: That he did not have time
and could not take that matter up
now in congress, because it would
offend the south and we could not
secure the more important financial
measures. Fourth, he did not re
commend our colored man, Mr.. Ed.
8. Willett as captain of the colored
company which enlisted in the Span
ish American war, but did recon-
mend Mr.. Amos Brandt, white
man who secured the commission.
Fifth, he cannot show but one color
ed man that he has been appointed to
anything from this district during
his eleven years in congress. Sixth,
when a colored man passed the high
est in a comparative examination for
the Military school he found some
excuse to not appoint him. Seventh,
when two colored girls took the civil
service examination in a class of 80,
they standing near the top the post
office records shows that over 20 has
been put on and no colored girl.
This is only very few of rhe
many reasons why an honest race
loving man cannot support Captain
Hull any longer, although they have
Loyalty supported him for different
offices for thirty years.

Rheumatism, which does its terrible
work in the muscles. joints and tissues,
is caused by uric acid which gathers III
the blood. To get rid of this poisonous
acid which produces the irritations,
pains, agonies, infIammations, and swell
ings peculiar to rheumatism Paine
Celery Compound should be used with
out delay. No other medicine gives
such prompt, cheering, and happy re-
suits. 1t is the only medicine that pre-
vents a return of the dreaded disease.
Paines Celery Compound braces the
nerves, the blood is quickly cleared OF
all irritating poisons. tissue and muscle
are built up, and the digestive organs
perfectly toned. Do not treat with in
difference the slightest rheumatic symp-
toms; the early use of Paine's Celery
Compound will save you weeks and
months of suffering. Mr.. S. ID. Con-
way, st. Louis. Mo-, was permanently
cured by Paine's Celery Compound after
repeated failures with other medicines
and physicians; he says:
Il am Ga years of age, and have lived

THE PLYMOUTH NORMAL.
Leading Citizens Deny the Justice Of the Crit.
cisms of the Examining Board.

To the Editor: We find in The issue
of November 18th report of the exam
iners of State Institutions.
In reference to the Colored Normal
School of Plymouth the following Ian
guage is used by said examiners in
speaking of said school: I'm further evil
dence we find that the negro man ehi-
ployed by the directors is utterly Unit
to fill so important a position" We
have known Prof Eppes, the negro
man above alluded to, about four years,
ever since his induction as superin-
tendent or assistant in the Colored Nor
nal at this place, and we have no hcsi-
fancy in saying that the examiners Of
State Institutions were misinformed in
regard to him. And the language used
by them in regard to him is unjust and
absolutely untrue.
He is man of bright intelligence"
thoroughly qualified, Intellectually, as
we'll as by long experience as teacher
to fulfill all of the duties of superntend-
ent of any "Colored Normal" in the
State, and he is the peer of any teacher
in any of the Colored Normal Schools.
And, we the white citizens. take pleas
ure in saying that in the administration
of his school, from the increased attend
ance and building up of the school for
the time he has had charge of It and
from our observation of the management
of said school, he has shown not only
that he is mentally and morally quail
fled, but that he has good executive
ability.
We are creditably informed shat the
examiners only made a flying visit to
this place, stopping less than half an
hour at the school. making 10 personal
examination OF his mental or moral
qualifications as a teacher; and yet they
make the grave charge of his unfltness.
Which proves clearly and conclusively
that they did not qualify themselves to
Judge of his competency and have done
him a cruel wrong, which we take pleas
ure in refuting, and assure his many
white friends elsewhere that there is no
colored man in this community who is
more highly esteemed by his white tel
low-citizens than Professor Eppes.
The examiners who visited Plymouth
seems to have been singularly unfortu-
nate in that they happened to meet dur
ing their too brief visit. exactly such
persons as had. for causes unnecessary
to mention (save TO allude to the fact
that certain Well-meaning people are
prejudiced against negro education in
toto) reason for speaking i'll of the
school and its principal.
To all appearance they are as guilty
of great negligence as the board of direc-
tors in failing to properly investigate.
