ASSEMBL lyman n. w. BASS.
Elected by Large Vote From Sixth Dis
triet In Philadelphia.

Afro-Americans in Pennsylvania, and
especially the voters In the Sixth dis
trict Of the Seventh ward in Philadel-
phia, are to be congratulated upon the
unusually large vote which they polled
at the recent election.
From the Sixth district in Philadel-
phia Harry w. Bass was elected to the
assembly by large vote, due In the
main to the fact that Afro-Americans
were particularly careful in seeing to
1t that every man Of the race of legal
voting age registered.
Mr.. Bass is well known, capable and
energetic. lie Is a native of Chester,
Pa, and Is noted for his sincerity and
devotion to such measures as will tend
to advance the interest Of the race.
We bespeak for Mr.. Bass a successful
career in the rightful performance a
duty In his new field.

MANHOOD RIGHTS UPHELD.
Nation RevoIts at Idea Of Disfranohiss-
mont, Says the oregonian.

In view of the fight which Is being
waged by the Democrats Of Mary
land to disfranchise the colored voters
Of the state, the following editorial
from a recent issue Of the Portland
(Ore.) Oregonian is most timely as well
as encouraging:
'The Oregonian has been favored
with little leafiet or tract whose pur-
pose is to argue for the disfranchise-
ment of the Negroes by a constitu-
tional amendment. No such amend
ment can ever be passed.
"The national sense of justice revolts
at the idea, to begin with, and 1t Is
safe to believe that the country Is not
yet prepared to sacrifice everything
that was won by the blood and ex-
pense Of the civil war. Still, the little
tract Is interesting on many accounts,
chiefly perhaps for its frank barbarism
and candid ignorance"
