We take it then that he is nfIlliatiny

he has no prejudice against our people.
Hc is politician with personal views.
which he subordinntcs to party policy.
While some of us have n poor opinion
OF this kind OF policy it Is radically diff
erent from the attitude Of Col. Henry
w. Anderson. who has an antipathy TO
the citizens Of color, commonly known
as and called Negroes.
But what will be the outcome &C this
policy? DO these gentlemen expect the
colorcd voters to accept the d!ctum
that they vote IN party, known as Re-
publican with no part or parcel IN
such an organization? Do they expect
people, who own and pay taxes on
nearly hundred million dollars worth
or property, real and personal to have
no part in the party machinery and in
the party government? Can such an
open policy OF unfairness succeed IN q
republic? This is the question, which
demands an answer. We are for peace
ana we hope that peace may be brought
about by conferences. The hands Of
