Teils Members ef the Black Race That They Are Entitled to Vote and ThIks of Human
 Rfghts.

Washington. April ii.--An enthusi- astic greetinE was given to senator Foraker of Ohio. today by the Balti- more conference of the A. M P. church Ohio Senator, Bishop Gaines paid him a cordial tribute as "the friend and de- fender of our people"
 Tn course of his address. Senator For aker said that he had been engaged during all of his life ip preaching the gospel. "Aith ousii."~ he said. you are engaged as religious men in preaching the gospel, you and l neverth efess are co-workers in preaching that morality which makes for good government."
 The Senator referred to the great work of the A M; F: church in upiift- in the last forty years and said it now had evertything. guaranteed to 1t ex- cept some political rights"
 i'You see" the Senator added. T try to stick to my text. but before I know 1t. lose my religion in talking to you. I lost it when | heard of the butchery at Atlanta short while ago. I lost if affair. I would not have referred to that unhappy blot If you had not in- sisted upon it. And Host # only few days ago when read of the action Of Lynchbnrg that ignored the delegates of your race. think 1t was shame and I don't care who knows it. l do not care to ssisicise h my pafisy ens
 
 1t. The question that was raised in that Virginia, convention will he car- ried for settlement to the national con- vcntion at Chicago. We will find there whether the party. of Lincoln. of Grant and of Mckinley Is Lily White party. If 1t is. I assure you that there will soon be new parties in the field which will stand for the rights of humanity. Religion and that kind of politics go hand in hand.
 T have been quarreiling with my friends of the South for forty years because of their grand father clauses, their prohibition and other heresies. If I have quarre1ied with them for forty years. certainly have the right now to quarrel with those who misrep- resent the republican party. Accord ing to the law. the negroes are entitl- ed to vote In Virginia when the demo- crats vote: and they are protected in that right Why then have they not the right to vote when the republicans vote? I don't belong to party. and will disclaim any party that stands for such a thing. 1 am an old fashioned republican. think more of human rights than of trusts and corporations
