WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A
NEGRO DEMOCRAT.

Bryan's Colored Supporters Must
Subscribe to All the Evils Com
mitted by the Red-Handed Party
Which He is Leading.
Twenty reasons why the Negro
should support the Democratic party
and leave the Republican party may
be enumerated as follows;
1. Because every Shareholder was
a Democrat.
2. Because every slave-trader was
a Democrat.
3. Because every man who fought
to keep the Negro in slavery was a
Democrat.
4. Because every member of the
-Klux-Klan was Democrat.
5. Because every member of the
southern mobs that have hanged and
burned hundreds of unconvicted Ne
groes were Democrats.
9. Because every "Jim-Crow' law
has been passed by Democrats.
7. Because every legislature that
has disfranchised Negroes has con-
tanned a majority of Democrats.
8. Because Ben Tillman, Hoke
Smith, Jim Vardaman, Jeff Davis,
Tom Dixon, Tom Hefin and Ed Car
mack are Democrats and stand high
i'll the councils of the party.
Q. Because West Virginia Demo
Gratis have placed planks in their
platform advocating separate cars
and restricted suffrage for the Negro,
where such things have not existed
heretofore.
10. Because the Georgia disfran-
chisement law has been passed by
Democrats in the midst of a cam
paign, when Negro votes have been
asked in the North.
II. Because Governor Vardaman,
who refused to charter Negro banks
in Mississippi, is Democrat.
II. Because Bryan's election would
mean the appointment of enough
Democratic Justices to make the Su-
preme Court Democratic, and give
an opportunity for the annulment of
the 18th, I4th and 18th Amendments
by Interpretation.
= Because Hehin, who tried to
foist "iim-crow" street cars upon the
District of Columbia, is Democrat,
and every vote cast for the infamous
measure was cast by Democrats
ii. Because a Democratic admins
tration would bring about cleaning
out of Negroes who now draw $1,000,

fed declaration that the 18th, I4th, and

before the Methodist Conference at
Cincinnati and his frank assurances
to the delegates that came to him
there, from the National Baptist Con-
vention, have placed his position on
the race question in a clear light, and
the colored voters will now have no
hesitancy in giving him the same cor
dial and enthusiastic support that they
have given to Republican candidates
from time immemorial.
The women of the land are to take

At the last meeting Of the Paris
Academy Of Teachers, Authors and
Professors OF the Dance, Prof. M. f..
Giraudet. who is all three, broke out
into figures. He read statistical pa
per on the requirement Of the art
of dancing, which he said was based
on observation of $500 pupils. These
are some OF the questions that he un-
dertook to settle:
What is the number OF steps, beats,
demi-beats, movements of the feet and
turns necessary to each distance?
What distance is travelled In each
What speed should the various dan
ces have?
What time and how much study are
required to acquire perfect proficiency
in dancing?
He found that six and one-half hours
was time enough to become complete
master of the ordinary waltz with the
reversing movement. He considers
that it should be danced to very slow
music, and that In the three steps
which go to each bar of the music
a distance of two feet six inches
should be traversed.
The speed should be forty-fouf
bars Of music a minute, Involving real
" 1872 movements of the feet and
twenty-five complete revolutions Of
the dancing couple. The duration OF
dance should net exceed six min
utes. The pupil should be proficient
after about sixty-five trials, involving
1880 bars of music, 51,4S0 steps,
$3.50 turns. and a distance danced
OF about $3.50 feet, more than seven
miles
The ordinary waltz, without ~re-
versing, may be learned in about four
hours and ten minutes, with about
1900 steps, 1000 turns AMI dis

Only an hour and forty-fve minutes

about 1858 yards or about two miles

The polka is another easy one. II
