EQUAL RIGHTS PLANK.

"The Republican party has
been for more than fifty years
the consistent friend of the
Afro-American. 1t gave him
freedom and citizenship. It
wrote into the organic law the
declarations that proclaim his
civil and political rights, and it
believes today that his note
worthy progress in intelligence,
industry and good citizenship
has earned the respect and en-
enlargement of the nation. We
demand equal justice for all
men, without regard to race or
color; we declare once more,
and without reservation, for the
enforcement in letter and spirit
OF the thirteenth, fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments to the
Constitution which were de-
signed for the protection and ad-
vancemnt of the Afro-American,
and we condemn all devices

REIMBURSEMENT for reasons of
color alone, as unfair, IMAM

1t may be remarked that the sover.

a.most unsavory record to. become
the subject of a boycott, but the boy
colt was caused by the private vices
of the old debauchee. These, however,
are of small consequence compared
with the infamies perpetrated,. under
his management, in the Congo Free
State. The world will lose nothing
when the modern Nero shall be over
taken by death.

RIGHTS OF AFRO-AMERlCANs.
"The republican platform refers
to these amendments to the Con-
stitution that were passed by the
republican party for the protec-
ton of the Afro-American. The
Afro-American, in the forty years
since he was freed from slavery,
has made remarkable progress.
He is becoming more and more
valuable member Of the COM
munities in which he lives. The
education of the Afro-American
is being expanded and improved
in every way. The best men Of
both races, at the north as well
as at the south, ought to rejoice
to see growing up among the
southern people an influential eIe-
nnent disposed to encourage the
Afro-American in his hard strug-
gle for industrial independence
and assured political status. The
republican platform, adopted at
Chicago, explicitly demands JUS
tice. for all men without regard
to- race or color, and just as ex-
ptfcitly declares for the enforce
ment, and without reservation, in
letter and spirit of the thirteenth,
fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments to the Constitution. 1t is
needless to state that stand
with my party squarely on that
plank in the platform, and believe
that equal justice to all men and
the fair and impartial enforce.
ment of these amendments are
in keeping with the real Ameri-
can spirit of fair pIay.-Hon.
