CLEVELAND AND THE NEGRO

CLEVELAND AND THE NEGRO
The clippings following may be Pc
rused with interest:
The speech made by Grover Cleve-
land in New York the other day on the
negro problem was both sensible and
timely. 1t shows that Mr.. Cleveland
knows more about the negro than most
Northern people do, and his speech Is
appreciated by both races in the South
The speaker said the Southern people
are the best friends the negro has and
that they are better Q"alitied to settle
the issues involved than the Northern
people, but his sentiments will not re-
ceve general endorsement. -Mans-
field Journal.
Grover Cleveland has recently had
his say on the race question: and very
good say it was, too. But, if our MEM
orv is not at fault, his conduct to-
wards Douglass and Bruce, of Mlssis-
sippi, during his second administration
were not much more acceptable to the
people of the South than the antics Of
Teddy Rooevel4. Homer Guardian
Journal.
One reason why Cleveland was not
publicly criticised by Democrats as
Roosevelt is being condemned was be-
cause he was the representative of
Democrats who were restrained, some
what in the spirit which governs when
something disagreeable has occurred III
the family circle. In his speech Mr..
Cleveland advanced no suggestion for
the betterment of present conditions,
and he reiterated in high-sounding
phrases the views expressed in more
simple words of problem we'll under
stood throughout the South and by
many people in the North as we'll, and
which will settle itself if the negro is
let alone. While the Caucasian is un-
compromisingly Democratic and stands
untlinchingly for the rule of intelligence
and white supremacy, it will subscribe
to the shrine of no man, even if it be
Grover Cleveland, and while his good
words for the South, to whom he must
ever be indebted for the honors on him
conferred, are appreciated, we, as the
Guardian Journal, have in memory his
conduct towards Bruce of Mississippi
and Fred Douglas of the District of
Columbia (whose wife was white) and
who, although negroes, on more than
one occasion, received not only the
Official but the social recognition
which all Southern men disapprove
radically.
