AS conditions now stand, it is the
indispensable duty of every colored

to help roll the wheel of the old Re

you have done that you have helped

safely over. Now, how can you re-
fuse to do this since the convention
held at Charleston by the Demo-
Gratis when they told you in plain
words what they intend to do for you
II they are elected. We believe lust
what they say because they are rid

his ears are straight out in front,

we will do ours: then we will be sat

his 18th year when he died; his wife.
Catherine, having preceded him to
the grave at the age of SO. Five of the
