MUM ON THE SUFFRAGE.

Monday night at the Hotel Seville
il New York City, Alton B. Parker,
tie Democratic candidate for presi-
dent OF the United States was given
AZ opportunity to declare whether he
believed that the Afro-American citi-
zais of the country should be allowed
to exercise the elective franchise
which is guaranteed to all citizens
without regard to race or color.
Nj Parker refused absolutely to
answer saying that the question was
fully covered in his letter of accept
ance The letter has been carefully
examined but it fails to show any
thing which covers the point.
This is the question put to Mr.
Parker: 81
Ii view of the activity of the Par
ka" constitution club, do you believe
that }Afro-American voters should be
allowed to enjoy the voting privileges
r,l:ic:s the federal constitution guar
aatees them?
Mr.. Parker's reply was:

Rev. c.. A. Buchanan, the Publisher Of
Paper at West Point, Miss, Victim
Of Outrage, a We'I-to-do Intelligent
Business Man.

The treatment received by Rev. Co.
A. Buchanan. an educated Well-tO-dO
Afro-American in Mississippi, is a
complete REPUTATION Of the statement
that the South is willing to give the
race a square deal, if they are honest,
law-abiding citizens.
Rev. Buchanan was the publisher OF
q paper called 'The& Preacher-Safe-
guard" at West Point, Miss. In a
recent issue the following editorial ap-
peared: -

| fomenting strife between the whites
and blacks. He was ordered by com
mittee appointed by mass meeting Of
whites to leave the place.
! The West Point Daily Times-Heralc
published the following editorial, with
heading in large black type:

The Southern Democrats receive al
most no consideration from their ma

are safe for the party in any event
and without any reference to the pol

no need of Offering them any induce

During the current year, there were
