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 anG
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 qualified to settle
the issues involved than the Northern
people, but his sentiments will not re-
ceive 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
DRY is not at fault, his conduct to-
wards Douglass and Bruce, of Missis-
sippi, during his second administration
were not much more acceptable to the
people OF the South than the antics of
Teddy Rooevelt. 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 in
the family circle. In his speech Mr.
Cleveland advanced no suggestion for
the betterment of present conditions
and he reiterated in Understanding
phrases the views expressed in plore
simple words of problem we'll under
stood throughout the South and by
many people in the North as well, and
which will settle itself if the negro is
let alone. While the Caucasian is I'm
compromisingly Democratic and stands
unflinching1y 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-J 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. |

WHY sDISCREDIT BRYAN.

Col W.. Bryan has notified his New
York friends that he will be in the East
!. in May and deliver series Of addresses
on political issues. He no doubt will
take especial pains to speak against
what he calls the reorganization of the
Democratic party. In other words he
will try to boost up the Kansas City
platform. His main attack OF course will
be directed against Hill German and
Cleveland. Vernon News. Y AZ &fiz
Why should Mr.. Bryan assist or aid
and abet in the diseredit of the Kansas
City platform, which has received the
endorsement of more than six millions
of Democrats If he should direct his
main attack, against t.the. Teorganizers, },
so-calleds of which Cleveland Il is the
chief f1gleTnan, he will be justified be-
cause these reorganizerss are radically
opposed to the Kansas City platform,
which is thoroughly and consistently
Democratic. Why should any organ of
the Democracy, especially one published
beyond the influence of the trusts and
eombiEes in the metropolitan centers,
persist in their abuses and ridicule of
Mr.. Bryan and the extolling of Mr..
Cleveland? A fact IS fact, and it is a
tact that Bryan was loyal to the party
while Cleveland sulked and aided and
abetted in the election Of Mckinley. Is
not Cleveland, then, a dese.tere Why,
then, should loyal men discredit leader
who has been tried and true for one who
when tried, rebelled defantly, joined the
enemy, and assumed to be bigger and
greater than the party who had honored
him and made him a President of the
United States?

Five Cents Worth of Sermon

An amusing story is told of the Rev.
Fl. S. Thrall, one of the pioneers of
Methodism in Texas. In company with
number of itinerants who were on
their way to conference Dr. Thrall
stopped to spend the night with an old
farmer. 1t was the custom then to set
tie the bill at night, so that they might
rise about o'clock in the morning and
ride a good way before breakfast and
lie by in the heat Of the day. DR..
Thrall, acting as spokesman of the par
ty, said to the old farmer after supper:
1--WE are company of Methodist
preachers going to conference. If you
will get the family together. we will
have prayers with you" After pray
ers one by one settled his bill DR..
Thrall's turn came. and he asked for
his bill. The old farmer replied, well,
pa'son, charged the rest % cents;
but, bein' as you prayed for us so good,
I won't charge you but 20 cents" The
brethren had the laugh on Dr. Thrall.
