holy horror at the failure of the dem
ocrats of the south to admit the ne
gro to equity in all their affairs. They
howl at every Illustration o. negro os-
TRACKING by the southern pople, and
set the negro upon a pedestal as a
MARTYR to the cause of human liberty
and fraternity.
All this is mere sham. The Massa-
chusetts republicans hold the colored
man in contempt, and have less use
for him even than the southerners.
An illustration of this is shown by
the treatment accorded the refined
and cultured daughter of the famous
educator, Booker T. Washington, by
the students, tutors and faculty of
Wellesley college. She was Il student
at that college last year, and the
"color line" was then drawn to pain
full extent. This year she has failed
to re-enter Wellesley as a sophie
more, and it is said that the reason
is that her presence there divided the
college into factions, many of the
students refusing to associate with
the negro student at all.
Here is an institution of learning
twenty miles from Faneuil hall
where a single member of the colored
race distinguished. by refinement and
intelligence and of the gentler sex

And yet the people of Massachusetts

tain of filling-that of minority repre-

The failure through the delay occa-

The long delay in securing candi-

congressional committee sitting be-
hind closed doors at Monmouth, and
accomplishing nothing at that, was
another incident that was sufficient
to dishearten a party.
The failure to complete the county

what the party has suffered, this pa
