At a conference or prominent

it was decided to issue an address

be interested in everything that
concerns the veal Of Our State and
nation. We should be as much in
terested in the boil weevil, good
roads, or the State Fair as any
other citizen. We must strive to
be the most patriotic, the most in
dustriOus, the most peaceable, the
most honest, the most useful, in
fact, the best citizens in the COM
munity, for this is not a white
mans government. 1t is a gov
ernment for good people, and he
who best serves his State is the
best citizen. To this end useful
ness should be Our motto. The
rule of love should govern us.
We should be man-1overs, not
man-haters. Love is eternal, hate
is short lived. By love we can
conquer. In this way we put our
selves in a position to receive all
the blessings vouchsafed to any
other citizen of Our government.

challenges the American white
man to a contest-to prove the
question of the fttest. Submit the
ballot, honor, all questions of pre-

all we ask.
The government cannot deny
this without forfeiting its right to
exist.
My fellow citizens, Texas is a
magnificent State. 1t furnishes
splendid advantages to Our people
in education, in business, etc. We
appreciate these advantages. 1t
is Our duty to use them in the
building of men and women Of
good character. Good character,
after all, is at the bottom of all
progress. There can be no indus
trial progress where there is no
character as boss. An ignorant
and vicious race h as never
amounted to anything anywhere
From time to time Our people be-
gin to push off to Oklahoma, to
Los Angeles, to Chicago or New
York. Now, a ride on the train
will not change character. Char
acter is not question of geogra-

into a vice man by taking trip
on the train to Chicago. What
we want to do is to be good, vir-
tuous, industrious, peaceable and
we have laid the foundation of
progress.

der It's guiding hand the popula-
ton has practically trebled. The
glory and wealth of the nation has
surpassed the most ardent expec-
tations of all patriots, and univer-
sal liberty has been established.
The ballet, which is the sign
and stamp of freeman, has been
conferred upon all through the in.
strumentality of this great organi-
zation. To that party the colored
man owes every civil and political
he has ever possessed, or now en-
Joys. To guarantee to him those
rights it has added three amend

more in treasure and in blood to
write them in the magma carta of
the nation by ten fold than was
expended to adopt the original
document itself.
Thirteen years ago the spirit

been buried forever, reasserted it
self in the State of Mississippi

haunts the borders of Pennsy1va-

in the>colored man constitutes
only about one-hfth of the entire
population, and aggregates Only
about 10000 voters. The Demo
cratic party has declared for the
Mississippi plan. To hesitate now
to stand in serried and unbroken
ranks for the Grand Old Party
when this abhorrent spirit Of dis
franchisement knocks even at the
door of the North, or to, by loose
and inconsiderate speech, give en-

become sluggish and inactive, the
