soon be forgotten by those acquainted
with political methods in this section
Of the country.
The w. L. Cohen faction. known as
the BLACK and Tans," gave the SO
called Lilly White" Republicans such
a severe jolt that 1t will no doubt be a
long time before they recover from the
surprising shock. 1t was battle for
the free and lawful exercise Of the con-
stitutional right of qualified American
citizens to the ballot. The use Of mon
ey had no influence with the colored
citizens.
As the time drew nigh for the pri-
mary election to be held the Lily White
Republicans began to grow restless,
When they saw the colored men regis
tering they were convinced that they
had hard fight on their hands. 1t Is
said that prominent colored men were
invited by the whites to call at head
quarters. In the majority of such cases
the colored men reported this action to
w. l.. Cohen before holding any con-
ferences with any one. Mr.. Cohen
gave them full instructions how to pro
ceed with Lily Whites In order to win
out. The Cohen faction was loyal to
their leader.
The following well known colored
citizens were elected: Hon. w. l.. Co
hen. J. Madison Vance. Esq. e. J. lie
Branche, j. Touchard. w. e. Robinson.
Colonel James Lewis. B. Y. Baranco.
]. w. Cooke and S. W. Green. The
man who got the information about
the methods used by the Lily Whites
to win votes was Mr.. John A. Tholmer.
He has the whole story and can give
1t exactly as it Is. word for word.

sUPT. oUARTEMoNT RELEASED.
Grand Jury Returns No Bill. Many
Friends Declared Him Innocent.
News Of his Release Welcomed
by Negro Employees.

The Grand Jury Of Hennepin Coun-
ty refused to indict Frank J. Quarte-
mont, Asst. Supt. of the 500 Line Com
missary, who was accused of the MUIR
der of Alice Matthews, on the night
OF March 30th. The police could get
no evidence against him sufficient to
warrant an indictment. 1t was pre-
dicted that he would be released af-
ter County Attorney Robertson had
said that he would not ask for an in
dictment upon the evidence upon
which he was arrested as a suspect
and the police failed to produce
their new evidence" which they
claimed to possess. 1t was a day of
rejoicing among his Negro friends
when the welcomed news arrived.
They have believed him innocent,
many who have had relations with
him since the murder failed to notice
or recall any act of suspicion. Mr..
Quartemont has always been friendly
to those whom he employed. His
good nature and genial disposition
won him many friends. The Oldest
employees who know him since he
came into the employ of the 500 Line
speak of him in highest terms. The
Star is glad to express this sentiment
which has been voiced by all our rail-
road men, who knew that a conviction
of Mr. Quartemont would greatly af-
feet them.

Enters Protest Before Assembly Com
mittee.
Two leading Negro citizens clashed
over the proposal to appropriate $400
from the contingent fund for enter
tainment of visitors and publicity in
connection with the Negro Educa-
tional congress. Rev. J. r. White, ap-
pearing in support of the resolu-
tion, declared that the congress, to be
held in the old Capitol July Is to 10,
will bring some of the leading educa-
tors of the colored race to st. Paul.
F.. L. Magee, Negro attorney, told
the committee that the Negro Con-
gress is only branch from the older
body and that as far as he has been
able to learn there are no leading
Negro educators connected with it.
Mr.. McGhee was asked by Mr.. White
to become a member of the local COM
mittee, but the invitation was not
accepted.
McGhees Action Disapproved.
Mr.. McGhee's action has been dis
approved by many citizens, both
black and white, and a meeting will
be held at Elk's Hall on Monday
night, April Sth, to voice their dis
approval We would rather that Mr..
McGhee had consented to the above
appropriation. But 1t Is recorded
fact that he has opposed many move
ments that were of Importance to the
people of st. Pul--who have been
more forgiving in the past than at
the present. The Star regrets that
this learned member of our race has
proven ungrateful, that instead Of
growing in popularity, he is fast be-
coming exceedingly unpopular.
