full-fedged Democrat. The goo0
Bishops change of heart must be at
tributed either to Democratic prin-
ciples or Democratic revenue.
Of course, so far as the Negro is
concerned, the Democratic platform
is silent. Bishop Walters must, there
fore, receive his inspiration from
either the record of the Democratic
party or the utterance of its leading
apostles. Perhaps Bishop Walters
finds some consolation in the follow
ing utterance of Congressman James
H. Griggs of Georgia:
There is not a white man in any
of the so-called Negro states who
would not gladly see the repeal of the
constitutional amendments making the
Negro a citizen and voter While
this is true, there is a disposition in
some quarters of the south to laugh
at the efforts of earnest, patriotic men
in this direction. There is no COM
plete salvation for the south outside
of this one thing. Many gentlemen
say it is impossible. The Negro gen.
tlemen would very probably have said
ten years ago that present conditions
and feelings of the people north and
south on the social side of this ques-
tiOn were impossible. This is abso-
lutely necessary to our final salvation.
Everything else is miserable make
shift, only to tide us over to the time
when public opinion everywhere will
approve of the repeal of these amend
ments and the correction Of these ter
rible mistakes. A union half white
and half black can live no more than
union half slave and half free
Separation of the races would be best
for white and black alike; but it
seems that neither race is yet ready
for that. The time will be, however,
in the years to come when the man
hood of the country, north and south,
white and black alike, will demand it.
Separation will not come in our gen.
Grafton, but many of us here today
will live to see the repeal of these
amendments. Separation will follow
disfranchisement, as the night the
day."
Will the good Bishop tell us why
he is Democrat, for we confess our
inability to discover any principle at
the bottom of it.
Let no colored voter be deceived
The Democratic party never has been
your friend; it is not now, and never
will be as long as its chief apostles
are such men as William Jennings
Bryan, Benjamin Tillman and Yard
mann Of Mississippi.
DR.. Dubois declares that he is going
to vote the Democratic ticket in No
vember. 1t should not be overlooked
that DR.. Dubois is resident of the
state Of Georgia. In this state at the
November election, the voters are
called upon to either adopt or reject
a constitutional amendment disfran-
chising more completely the Negro
voters of that state. We suppose Dr.
Dubois, In order to be consistent. will
vote to disfranchise all the colored
people of the state of Georgia who are
not so enlightened as he happens to
be.
1t is quite amusing to note that ev-
cry Negro man who for one cause or
another has been Influenced to sup

that the race has been blindly follow

80 years, and that he at last has got

Democrats What
Have You To Say?

not say that he has received an eye
opener, but it is interesting to note
that the Negro has shown the same
excellent judgment in the exercise of
his right of franchise that majority
of all the people of this country have
shown, for they have voted with the
Negro and for the Republican party
so years out of the 3S. In only two
presidential elections have the ma
jority of the white voters ever voted
differently from the majority of the
sorely repented of their folly and have
voted with the majority of Negro
voters ever since.
Any Negro who can find any conso-
lation or comfort for the black man
in the Democratic party had better
prepare his ascension robes for he
surely is not long for this world; his
vision is something divine. William
Jennings Bryan, on several occasions,
has said that the Afro-American has
bestowed presidents upon the Republi-
can party and received janitorships in
return. Mr.. Bryan either knows these
statements are false or he is too ignor-
ant of public affairs to be elected to
the exalted Office to which he aspires.
Let the facts speak for themselves.

FOUR STORY STRUCTURE
TO Be ERECTED SOON
{. Strickef Has Had
Plans Drawn for a Biz Build
Inc at I25 Smith Street.

This city is to have a four-story
brick building. For some time Law
yer Joseph E. Stricker has been con-
templating the erection of a hand
some building on his property at 1876
Smith street, where there is at pres
ent only one story structure.
Recently he gave instructions to
Architect G. Howard Smith to pre-
pare plans for four-story building
and this morning Mr. Smith announc-
ed that he had the drawings complet-
ed and that they would be ready to
be given out for bids next week.
The building, which will be OF
brick, with terra Gotta trimmings,
will cost approximately about $780,
600. On the first Aoor will be a
store and the upper floors will be so
designed that they can be used for
the same purpose or if necessary,
converted into Offices later.
Architect Smith says that the
building will be, when completed
suitable for a department store, with
the main room on the ground floor
and show rooms on the other three
floors. Mr.. Stricken is the owner OF
the Jefferson and the Adelaide build
1ngs, both three stories in height, on
Smith street, and his new addition
will be almost across the street from
his present headquarters.

SW|NSON OUT
OF HOSPITAL

George Swinson, who was commit
ted to the State Hospital for the
Insane at Trenton, several weeks
ago, was released yesterday through
the efforts of his father, Peter S.
Swinson, of Gordon street.
At the time of his committal the
elder Mr.. Swinson had his son ar
rested for carrying a revolver and
thought that he was slightly de-
mented. DR.. w. E. Ramsay and DIR.
j. l.. Lund made an examination and
committed the young man to the
asylum.
When seen this morning by a
NEWS reporter George Swinson was
about town renewing old acquaint-
ances and asserted that he was no
more crazy now than when he was
taken to Trenton. He says he is un-
decided as to what his future voca-
tion will be. He was formerly the
proprietor of a grocery store at Ma
Olson avenue and Gordon streets,
but his father has sold the business
during his sons confinement.

MANY BETS ON
THE ELECTION

Although few large sums have
been put up, almost every day
number of small bets are made on
the result of the coming election.
Most of the money is being wagered
on William H. Pfeiffer and William
Quackenboss, the republican and
democratic candidates, respectively.
for sheriff, and Albert A. Bollsch-
weller and DR.. F. c. Henry, the dem
ocratic and republican candidates,
respectively, for mayor
There is plenty Of Bollschweiler
money hanging loose" but most of
the Pfeiffer hackers have exhausted
their funds. City Marshal William
Walters has posted $500 at the
Packer House and says he is willing
to bet all, or any part of it, that Mr.
Bollschweiler will be reelected.
Mr.. Walters already has a bet of
$50 with Samual Hall that Mr..
Bollschweiler viii win, and has sew
eral wagers that Mr.. Quackenboss
will be the next sheriff.
Yesterday Ludwig Wolff bet Sam
uel Hall $40 to SIS that Mr.. BOllsch-
weller would be reelected. Few, if
any, bets have been made on Taft or
Bryan, as the odds are too great in
favor of the former.

Constantinople, Oct 91:-The
most striking proof yet found of the

that one Turkish regiment, which

twelve soldiers were killed and near
ly score injured Under threats of
severe punishment the matter was
hushed up for a while, but it be-

enraged the people opposed to the
Sultan. Threats against the Sultan's
life are heard everywhere. 1t is be-
lieved that consideration for his per-
sonal safety will yet lead him to alb

The government received notice
from Sofia today that a commission
of two Bulgarians are now enroute
for this city with an offer of s13,-
$4,000 settlement as a Rumelian
tribute. If such an offer is made it
is probable Turkey will accept.

The most successful dance the
High School Alumni ever gave took
place last night at Washington hall.
Almost everyone who attended was
dressed in rural style as the dance

costumes we're very funny while the
ladies wore aprons and sunbonnets.
At first the hall was lighted only
by red electric lights, but after the
dancing commenced the illumination
was turned on full The hall was
decorated to represent a barn, the
balcony was made to represent hay
loft, in the corners were stacks of
hay, wheelbarrows, and farm imple-
ments, while strung around the hall
were jack-o-lanterns made from
pumpkins. In the center of the hall,
hanging from the ceiling, was gi-
gantic pumpkin from which hung a
large flag with the letters P. A. H. S.
Dancing commenced at $50 and
continued until midnight when re-
|freshments were served. After sup
per dancing was resumed until $50
