LINCOLN CLUB
THEY SHOW THEIR INDEPEN.
DENCE AND DENOUNCE
FORMER REPUBLICAN,
TRAITORS.

The Blueneid Lincoln Republican
Club. composed of the very best ele-
ment Of the coiored race OF Bluefield
and Mercer county. met In Central
Hall. on Raleigh street last night at
$3.50 o'clock.
IL the announced opening hour
the hall was crowded and additional
seats were hurriedly provided for the
accommodation OF those who were lit
tie late to arrive.
Lawyer w. II. Randolph. president
OF the cub, called the meeting to
order. and after stating it's purpose.
made an excellent address. He stat
ed that the darkey had been hood
winked by the Republicans long
enough and that on account of the
Republican party's unfaithfuiness to
the negro that the latter would re-
fuse to assist them to once in the
future. not only In Mercer county.
but In the country at largo. He was
Nociferousiy applauded from time to
time. and In concluding his address,
introduced C. z. Henike. secretar,
OF the club. Henike stated that he
had been practically raised with the
white man and had found the Repu-
lican portion Of the race to be liars
and traitors. The big 4" could not
buy him. although such a thing had
been suggested. Under Democratic
rule. he said, the negro had received
better treatment than he could ever
possibly expect from any Republican
administration.
isaac Wright. conductor. was the
next speaker. and made not only a
logical address. but amused the audi
ence with a number of anecdotes.
We was followed by Rev. J. T. Glib
bons. one OF the most talented color.
ed speakers in this section of West
Virginia. What he said about the
Mercer county ring put the rest of
the political rings in the state in the
shade. Along with those who pre-
ceeded him he gave the editor of the
Telegraph-H. I. Shott-E. f. Car
ter. w. p. Hawley. d. q. Lilly and
other minor political lights. their Just
deserts for abandoning the negro af
ter the election.
Two OF the speakers stated that
to their certain knowledge there had
been deposited in the BramweIl Bank
the sum of $4,000 to elect the Re-
publican candidates in this district
and that the major portion OF the
money would finally land In the pock-
cts Of the leading Republican poIiti-
clans of the Eighth Judicial district.
All of the speakers advocated the
election of Jairus Collins and stated
specifically that the continued tri-
umph OF the Republican party meant
political death to the negro.
Gibbons said that on the morning
after the Bramwell meeting he pick
ed up the Daily Telegraph. and the
opening line read: Good morning"
The following paragraph contained
the startling announcement that
the dollar mark is mighty and
must prevail.
The Colored band-The Summit
City-furnished music for the occas-
ion. and after the speaking. refresh
ments were seved.

COMrOeED OF THE COUNTIES OF
MONROE, MERCER AND
MCDOWELL.

MCDOWELL.
This is to make known to
you that Mr.. ID. T.. French.
of Bluefield, Mercer county.
has been nominated for the
office of Judge of the Eighth
Judicial Circuit of West Vir-
ginia by a committee of the
democratic party, to whom
was delegated the authority
by the said party i'm meeting
assembled, to name a candi.
date for sait5 Office to be vo-
ted for at tIf election to be
held in said adicial District
on the 9th day of November.
1905, for the election of Of
ficers, among others that of
a Judge of the Circuit Court
for said district.
In presenting the name of
Mr.. French, your committee
will state that he ONLY
agreed to accept the nomina-
ton at the earnest solicita-
ton of many voters of both
political parties,-he deem
ling it as a non-political
Office.
There is no Office within
the gift of the people of such
vital interest 10 them as that
OF Circuit Judge. 1t is i'm re-
atty and truthfully a non
political Office, and should be
SO treated and held by the
people; for the Judge of a
Circuit Court is the arbiter
between all tia people with
out regard to political or 9th
er kindred questions. He.
as such Judge, is clothed
with the authority to pass
upon the dearest and most
sacred rights of a people
who intrust to him their
lives, liberty, character, and
property. AT all times the
safeguard of the people s
rights is in an upright and
honest judiciary; their great
ct peril and danger to life.
liberty and property is in a
corrupt, subservient, cow
ardly and venal Judiciary.
The Judiciary is the bulwark
OF our civil liberty, and no
greater calamity could be-
fall a people than to have
either a corrupt, subservient
J Judiciary, or an Inefficient
judge.
Your committee presents
TO the voters of this Judicial
District a young man who is
absolutely clean i'm all re-
spects; OF the highest char
acter as a Chrictian and gen
tleman, and a lawyer of
good ability, worthy of the
support of every honest. in
telligent, upright, thought
ful freeman i'm the Distrist.
"a man who at all times.
and under all circumstances.
will discharge faithfully.
impartially and without fa-
voritism, his duties as Judge
to all men, Of all colors.
classes and tongues, without
fear, favor or affection.
Without disparagement,
or criticism Of anyone, if
such should even be Just. we
most earnestly commend Mr..
French to the voters of this
District, and most cordially
and earnestly invite all Of
the voters Of said District.
without regard to past party
affiliations, or environments.
to rally to his support. We
have the man, but no money,
and place him before our
people with confidence that

That night Franz appeared at the
hospital and was left alone with Bal
dos for an hour or more. What passed
between them no outsider knew,
though there were tears in the eyes of
both at the parting. But Franz did not
start for the pass that night, as they
had expected Strange news had come
to the ears Of the faithful old follower,
and he hung about Ganlook until
morning came, eager to catch the ear
Of his leader before it was too late.
The coach was drawn up in front of
the hospital at o'clock, Beverly tri-
umphant in command. Baldos came
down the steps slowly, carefully. ia
voring the newly healed ligaments In
bis legs. She smiled cheerily at him,
ana he swung his rakish hat low.
There was no sign of the black patch
Suddenly he started and peered in
tently into the little knot of people
near the coach A look of anxiety
crossed his face From the crowd adj
vanced a grizzled old beggar, who
boldly extended his hand. Baldos
grasped the proffered hand and then
stepped into the coach. No one saw the
bit of white paper that passed from
Franz's palm into the possession Of
Baldos. Then the coach was off for
Edelweiss, the people of Ganlook en-
Toying the unusual spectacle of mys-
FERROUS and apparently undistinguished
stranger sitting in luxurious ease be-
