OMAHA, March 1a-ro the Editor Of
The Bee: II is shame and an outrage
for q man to como to this city and stale
all the way from New York to organise
. coIored democratic league. What does
he take US for. even II we are in the
far west. and supposedly know but little
about politics7 But IL he knew as much
about democracy as we do he would never
have come west to blindfald US. and try
to lead us sstray as when we were in
bondage In bygone days. He has forgot
ten that Nebraska Is q republican state,
and that all negroes owe allegiance and
loyalty to the supreme principles OF re.
publlcansm. We may be crazy. but are
