 Yet with all this attack on Fillmore, there was . Fremont and Fillmore fusion fn Pennsyivanis. At the head Of the otherwise identical tickets of Republican and American electors were Fremont and FiIlmore's names. The Republican ticket was called the "peo- piss as the leaders knew the con sefvative Pennsvlvania Democrats would not stand for new party name.

The Legislature was Republican and the day after the election Horace Greeley got mad. ff anybody could make him mad all over 1t was James Gordon Ben nett. Bennett did 1t this time by sug- sesting that the new Republican Leg fs1ature should choose a senator from d list of five. which The Herald sub f1aitted. The i've names were Horace Greeley. editor of The Tribune; James watson Webb, editor of The Courier and Enquirer (now The World): VII liam Cullen Bryant. editor of The Eve ming Post: Henry J.

 when the election was over there was hardly a suggestion of ccssa- tion of the Repubiiac inactivity. No- body believed that Buchanan would be able to successfully solve the delicate problems which confronted him. The great battle was already on.

he represented the Taft interests.
We give Secretary Taft's manag-

LED BY. NEGRO DEMOCRAT

LEI d y L0INND LDENIoON+N1
The Democratic Negro Confer
ence, called by Monroe Trotter, Of
Boston, Mass, and Rev. (?) w.
n. Scott, of Boston, his Man Fri
day, was the greatest farce that has
ever been attempted by Negroes.
1t is quite evident that this is a
Democratic movement, and the col
ored people in this country are
warned against It. Monroe Trot-
ter and w. H. Scott are known
Negro Democrats, and it is very
strange to see colored men who
ought to have some sense led by
these Democratic Negroes. The
representative colored men in this
country don't take any stock in this
Democratic side show.
Corrothers and his followers
have declared their allegiance to
Bryan in the event of Mr.. Taft's
nomination. The Bee will have
full particulars of this Democratic
side show next week. The meet
ing that was held in the basement
of the church was as large as the
one held in the upper portion Of
the church. A preamble and res
olutions were adopted expressing
the sentiment of those who will
support the nominee of the party.

This is a fine contrast between
the action of the officers in the
same precinct that arrested Attor-
ney John F. Collins a few even
ings ago because he dared to de-
lend an old colored man who had
been insulted by a lot of white
rufians. A brief mention of his
arrest was made in The Bee last
week. There is no escape for Mr..
lH1fin, and if he is not tried it
will be because a dirty compromise
has been entered into,and The Bee
takes this opportunity of warning
the people not to contribute one
cent toward the prosecution of this
case. Already propositions look
ing to a compromise have been
limited. The Government should
not permit it. The Government
should prosecute this case with all
the power it has in its possession.
This so-called Civic League is
composed OF a lot of windbags who
are seeking to fleece the people.
Let the people be on their guard.
1t is not necessary for the peo-
pie to contribute anything, as the
Government will prosecute the
case.

ESTABLISHED 1880.
BAD LEADERSHIP.

The colored voters Of the coun-
try are advised, in the event OF the
nomination Of Secretary Taft, to
desert to the Democratic party.
Now, let us reason for a few mo-
ments.
What has the Democratic par
ty done for the colored American? !?
If the Democratic party wins, will
the cOlored American be benefited !?
Has the colored American ever
been benefited by the aScendency of
the Democratic party? Have any
inducements been offered by the
Democratic party to the cOlored
Americans? Is it not evident that
Mr.. Bryan does not want the col
pred vote? Did he not give orders
to the committee that had his
meeting in charge in West Vir-
ginia not to admit colored men?
The colored voters are warned
to beware of false Negro leader
ship. 1t will be remembered in
1000 some of these same sO-called
representatives of the colored race
sold out to the National Republi-
can Committee for three hundred
dollars.
The greatest impediment to the
race today is false Negro leader
ship. This is the leadership that
is enslaving colored Americans to-
day.
The cOlOred man must be care
full, and not allow the demagogue
to fool him. He must have very
watchful eye on his surroundings.
There are more Democrats in
this country, The Bee will admit,
that will give the Negro a square
DEAL" but O! count, if you please,
the thousands in this country that
have declared against the colored
citizen. OF course these conditions
cannot continue very long. The
condition of the colored Americans
will soon change. They must work
out their salvation in the Republi-
can party, although the road may
be hard and conditions unfair.
The Bee would advise all color
ed Americans to read the fable of
the stomach and the members of
the body in rebellion.
The Washington bee., 1908-04-11
NOT NECESSARY.

The citizens of this city are
warned not to contribute to these
bogus organizations alleging inter
est in the prosecution of Heflin.
The District Attorney, Mr.. Baker,
will prosecute him, hence it is not
necessary for alleged bogus or
ganizations to claim that they want
money to push the prosecution.
The Bee is informed that prop
ositions have been submitted look
ing to a compromise, which will be
in violation of law and good gov
ernment.
The Bee understands that circu-
lars are being distributed and pc
titions have been placed in certain
drug stores requesting the people
to contribute. All this is unneces-
sary. 1t is the duty of the Gov
ernment to prosecute.
THE DOLLIVER BILL.
The people of this city are op-
posed to the Dolliyer Bill, but they
favor the abolition of the office of
supervising principal. They are
unnecessary and burdensome. The
work of the supervisors could be
done by the principals of the
buildings. Many of these super
visors are tyrannical.
Let the Dolliver Bill be defeat
ed?
The Washington bee., 1908-04-11
why DELAY?

Why has not the Sixth Police
Precinct Station brought addition
al charges against Congressman
Hefin, of Alabama Why has he
not been charged with carrying
concealed weapons, and carrying
the same open for an unlawful
purpose? Why has he not been
charged with discharging firearms
in the street?
If some poor innocent victim
had been caught with a razor upon
his person or a blackjack he would
have been charged with everything
known to the law. Why will the
Police Department make this dis
elimination
Let Mr.. Heflin be made to un-
derstand that he is in the Capital
of the Nation, and not in Alabama.
Let him understand, although he
is supposed to be a lawmaker, that
he is a lawbreaker.
Captain Brynes, of the Sixth,
should see to it that these addi-
tiOnal charges are put against Mr..
Heflin and be brought before the
Judge Of the Police Court at once.
There cannot be any doubt of his
conviction.

Editor of The Bee:
A friend has placed in my hands
a copy of your valuable paper, which
l have read with much interest We
are pleased at the pleasant express
sion concerning our Ralph.
You do not say too much; he de-
serves it all We who have watch
ed Ralph w. Tyler in this city from
his childhood know his sterling
worth; know that he is true; that he
is a man of his word-for that is his
bond-that he never makes a promise
that he does not keep; that he is
true to his friends and loyal to race
interests. His ten months in official
life in your city are ample earnest
of the metal of which he is made.
He is, as you say, manly man.
How could he be otherwise? You
must remember that he halls from
Ohio, where we grow men - men
who are not afraid of white face,
as are many of our colored men rear
ed outside of Ohio, who hold high
official positions.
1t is the general opinion that col
ored men under this Administration.
as under former ones, who have col
ored men and ladies under them, in
variably give the preference to the
whites in appointments and promo
ton in the public service, who in no
sense measure up to their fellow col
ored clerks, who are usually men and
women of superior scholarship and
training.
1t is said that your Recorder OF
Deeds actually turned down colored
men of splendid ability andtraining
for a white man of ordinary ability
for his chief assistant at a salary of
three thousand dollars perannum, and
gives the most important clerkships
to the whites.
Has any white man selected a col
ored man as his chief assistant?
The sooner this class of race

public life the better for the entire
race.
Let the watchword be Manly men
to the front - men of the Tyler
school of training who will see to it
that colored men and women under
them shall not be Disseminated
against in favor Of second-rate white
clerks.
You need not fear that Ralph will
be a fgurehead - that his white sub
ordinates will run his office. That
he is the head of his office no one
out here doubts, and yet he is un-
assuming and as modest as woman
but he is a man.
