Afro-Americans, admirers of high
class music. from cities and towns
contiguous to Greensboro attended the
oratorio, which was the musical treat
Of the season among our people in
Greensboro and vicinity.
Since going to the Greensboro Sec
ton of North Carolina Professor
Stewart has caused a greater appre-
citation Of classical music on the part
Of the race than ever before. He is
a potent force in the intellectual life
of the community. He Is a native of
Detroit, Mich. but received most of
his musical and literary training in
Illinois.
Upon finding that nature had endow,
ed him to the extent that man was to
be inspired by his voice he entered
the Illinois Conservatory of Music, in
which institution he received every en-,
couragement.
Professor Stewart afterward enter.
ed the Conservatory Of Music in Chi.
cago, from which he graduated with
special honors. Sir DR.. Wooten Of
Leipzig, Germany, while in the United
States became interested In Professor
Stewart, and for a number Of months
the professor took lessons from this
noted musician In piano. theory and
vocal culture. the same subjects he
had at his alma mater.
Having a deep interest In Scriptural
research work, Professor Stewart took
q special theological training In Payne
seminary and at Wilberforce univer-
sity. After being a private teacher Of
music In Illinois for some time. he ac-
cepted position as professor Of mu-
sic In Wilberforce university.
He taught at Wilberforce for four
years and succeeded In bringing the
music department Of the university up
to a high standard.
President Dudley Of the Agricultural
and Mechanical college. Of which Pro-
fessor Stewart is the head Of the mu-
sic department. says he Is a man of
unusual ability and this fact Is being
demonstrated in his work.
Several piano and vocal compositions
have been written by this young mu-
stefan which have been favorably re-
ceived by music lovers in various Sec
tons Of the country. AS q musical d.
rector he has had widening success.
But his strong fort Is that Of concert
pianist and director. As a bassoist he
has few equals and his superior Is yet
to be found.

TO OUR VOTERS.

Now, that the election is drawing
near, our people in the Twin Cities
are being looked upon. And they
know why. The white man wants
your vote. Do you know its value?
Are you willing to promiscuously pre-
sent it to him? Consider carefully,
and act accordingly! You should
know its worth. They have disfran-
chised negroes in certain parts TOR
this reason,-that his vote was his de-
tense. If properly exercised, this
right which you hold. will place in
power the men, who can help you, II
they keep promises after election.
The days of reconstruction are past.
The negro is in his Ezra o. Political
Freedom" Vote for your personal in
terest. and you will vote for your
races welfare. This does not mean
a small sum Of money" but for the
nen who stand for the principles OF
right. Assert your individuality. re,
CARELESS of party. The negro has been
the automatic property of the Re-
publicans, without fair compensation,
and has not given his support to Dem
ocrats, who have individually, helped
his race. Fright Of suffrage" is your
only constitutional right. Be not
bound to a party. The party Of a few
years ago may be different today.
The principles of yesterday are
changed today. The candidate who
stands for right and Justice to all men,
regardless of color or conditions, who
knows the policies Of Lincoln and
Grant, and lives up to them. Who
does not reeite history, but promises
to give to your people their share Of
consideration after election, is the
man you should vote for. DO YOU
KNOW HINT

ORGANIZATION.

There is no advancement towards
Organization in these parts. The
single-handed hustlers of the Repub-
lican party may meet on the stairs Of
committee headquarters. Phil. Hale
has been given the dispensation of
all patronage and is the recognized
authority on all political issues and
conditions. He can guess the Cover
nor's thoughts to the fraction of a
think, and without smoking) can see
himself as the coming messenger. We
assume that he knows whereof he
speaks, considering that his political
information is boundless, and his
prestige unlimited. He solicits the
applications Of many aspirants for Of
fices and they get only this THE
reason why we didn't land ETC."
His lobbyistic proclivities are so
well known that he has become the
political goblin to those who are
afraid to come out after dark" And
from now on day light meetings are
in vogue. This personal grata has
the nerve to stamp his title to the
political cards Of candidates. This
action alone loses them vote.
There are many reasons why the
people do not repudiate such as he,
but it is the will of the Republican
party, and If they want him, to carry
out their contemplate principles
against the wishes of the people. We
say-He's yours, with pleasure.

FALLEN HEROES,

We are sad to notice that the ranks
of the honorable survivors" of that
immortal strife, are being dimin.
ished by that uncomfortable foe
Death. Members Of the Loyal Legion
and G. A. R., are dying each day,
Many of these men have always done
the things which have produced the
best results for our race. History
will never fail to record their achieve
ments. which the Nations will always
commemorate. But posterity has long
ago forgotten the principles. Our
races friends are fast departing. Let
us honor the remaining few.

The Republican party has finally
come out" and offered the Hon. p.
B. 8. Pinchback a position. Well!
He deserved it. When the party fol-
lowed the advice of our race leaders
and attempted the elimination Of the
Negro, he then stepped down and
out gracefully and comfortably. He
is truly the "Old Roman" A veteran
of the days of reconstruction, and a
credit to his race.
The Republican Leaders of the
State Of Minnesota, Campaign man
agers) are against the Negro indie
pendent Political League. They fear
that it will draw votes from the Re-
publicans, and they are making is
sues against any political advertis-
ing in this paper on that account.
Well it will draw votes from them

will be too late.

MISSOURI LEADS SOUTHERN
DEMOCRATS.
In According Full Political Rights
To Negroes.

To Negroes.
In the Democratic platform of that
party in Missouri there is a plank
proclaiming their friendship for the
black race, and declaring that they
never will discriminate against the
Negro, either by criminal laws or by
attempting to deprive him of his
rights of suffrage. This declaration
breathes the right spirit and the
willingness to accord to every citizen
the same rights and privileges under
the law, and while it may be consid-
cred a bid for the Negro vote it fur
nishes the only basis upon which that
vote could be consistently divided.
Should the Democrats of other states
put themselves as squarely on record
In this matter as have the Democrats
of Missouri 1t would only be a ques-
ton of short time when the Negro
would divide upon all public ques-
tions, as other men and races divide,
