As usual. when an important campaign
faces Il, the Republican machine is very
much interested in the welfare OF the
colored voters. and great efforts are being
made To have the colored brother fall into
line. first by registration and later by as
sisting In electing the candidates selected
by the party boss.
The colored voters are now divided as
to their choice for the senatorship, some
OF them favoring Colonel Colt and some
having already gone out upon the political
housetops TO yell for Mr.. Wetmore.
Evidently as long as financial assist
ance continues to come In and the barrel
is tapped the colored voters are TO have
impaired TO them all the reasons why
Mr.. Wetmore should receive their sup
port: but already many OF them have put
on their thinking caps and are now trying
TO figure out what Mr.. Wetmore or any
other Republican has done to advance the
interests OF the colored people OF this city
and state. Up 10 this time the searchers
OF history have found no record OF such
accomplishment.
Said one OF the leading colored citizens
today: 1T Is about time that the colored
citlzens threw aside partisanship and sup
ported the best men. and thereby assist
as far as possible 10 the general cause OF
good government. Evidences are ripe to
show that the Republican party has about
got through with the colored man, as any
one may see by counting the number OF
positions that the colored people are now
filling from the crumbs OF the Republican
party table. Several years ago things
were different.
ITO make matters worse. when an ap-
peal is made for representation I'm the
official quarters OF the Republican forces
II Is turned down. and the colored appli-
cant is given the grand laugh. while the
other fellows get the Jobs for services that
they do not render.

CENSUS FIGURES
To CONTROVERT
INCORRECT IDEAS

For the first time in the history OF the
census taking in this state. those inter
ested in the religious tendencies of the
population will be able 20 know definitely
Just what progress has been made--that
Is. II the plans OF Col George n. Webb
mature. as they bid fair to do.
In a few weeks the census by occupa-
tions will-haye been completed; and the
office force will ten tabulate the figures
showing just the number Of each religious
faith in the state.
A few weeks ago, the department. sent
out cards asking the recipients TO state
their religion and the number OF church
attendants in each family. Col. Webb
states that the replies have been crafty
ing in number, though the Protestants
have seemed backward in stating what
denominations they were connected with.
The most ready response was obtained
from the Catholics and the Jews. Moham-
medans and followers OF Confuclus.
Among the ProteStants there are many
who attend churches. but do not enroll
as members; and a special classification
will be made for them. The children Of
those in these branches will be enrolled
according to the beliefs OF their parents
From the replies received II Is apparent
that the statistics will go far to correct
some very erroneous ideas concerning the
religious tendencies OF the day.

II the decision should be against the

Parker some years ago. IL would not be

falling of in the fresh meat trade for

been no change in price.

1t thus appear that the city paid for

valuation, and whether the price paid

reasonable difference between the asses
