Chicago, Aug 26-[Edtor of the

c0lOred people in the east that are
advising my people to vote for w.
j. Bryan, because they are diSSatis-
fled with the way they or we were
treated by the present administra-
ton.
Mr.. Bryan represents the party
that has contrived, through every
means, TO take every vested right
away from us that has been given us
by the party that Taft represents.
1t is only in the states that Mr.. Bry-
ans party controls that the negro is
dsfranchsed All Of the crimes
that have been done against the
negro politically were by the party
to which Mr.. Bryan belongs. Ben
Tillman, }. II. Graves and Thomas
Dixon openly declare the negro has
no rights that the white man need
TO respect in politics. Mr.. Varda
man Of Mississippi ran for United
states senator on a platform declar-

are among the most conspicuous in

eral influential colored people of De-
catur, launched what is known as a
State League, whose purport is to

We commend these leagues and
advise that they become doors of
what they say. AS individuals let
us become more civilized, more eco

but as these organizations pledges,
let us, the members of these leagues,
draw line between the men who
stand for something and are striving

QUARANTINE BANK DEPOSITS.

Some people are going ''wild"
again over Mr. Bryan's delusiOn,
Guaranty of Bank Deposits. You
have not forgotten the sensation he
created over free silver at the ratio
of l6 TO |, have you? Or Imperial
ism? Or any other Of his para
mount issues" The Forum does not
claim to be informed along financial
issues, but we know enough about
Mr.. Bryan to believe that this
is another deIuSion, another sirens
song. Do not give ear to this non
SenSical doctrine The democrats
are trying to entrap the Negro
votes. We ask you to pay no atten-
ton to the sarcasm; this "boling
air" If banks have to guarantee
the depoSitOrs, who will guarantee
the bank? Furthermore, if Mr..
Bryan should win the election most
of the banks will close, because
Bryan's policies are dangerous.
We warn you now, colored voters,
both in this state and over the
nation, make up your minds to vote
the straight Republican ticket or
there will be awful times for people.

NEGROES AND THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY.

Chicago, Aug. q Editor of the
Tribune. As an Old time anti
slavery man, a delegate to &c first
Tree Sol' convention, republican
from the beginning, and one who
has always been friendly to the ne
groeS, | protest against the move
ment by some So-cdlled leaders to
drive negro voters into the demo-
cratic camp.
A more idiotic thing could scarce.
~ be conceived. What has the
democratic party ever done for the
back race? A Absolutely nothing. In
the nature of things it Can do moth
lug The party depends for success
on the southern wing, the former
slave holding states, and they will
allow nothing to be done politically
within their ranks for the negro.
this has always been, is now, and
probably always will be the case
reasonably, in the kindness of his
heart, Mr.. Bryan would do what he
Couiu lor them, put his party would
not back him up, simply because
the controlling section of the party,
the south, would not listen for a
moment TO anything that was of
interest of what they call the mig
gers
1t might be added that the pas
sage and enforcement of the out
rageous fugitive slave law by pro-
slavery wig administration, for the
purpose of securing southern support
caused the overthrow of that party
and its great leader, Daniel Web
Ster, and the establishment Of the
republican party, which ever since
been the friend Of the negro.
