FOR PRESIDENT:
WILLIAM MCKINLEY,
of Ohio.
FOR VICE-PRESIDENT:
THEO. ROOSEVELT,
of New York.
Bishop Turner claims that, in event
of Bryan's election, Federal troops will
be called out to prevent lynchings. The
Democratic national platform says:
"We denounce arbitrary interference
by Federal authorities in local af
fairs as a violation of the Constitu
tion of the United States and a crime
against free institutions." Lynching
is a local institu ion which the Dem
ocrats of certain sections take a de
light in, and it is not likely that Bry
an would interfere with Democratic
amusements. Lynching is confined al-

most entirely to Democratic states.
The spectacle of Pitchfork Tillman,
who will be Bryan's adviser-in-chief
in case, of election, advising him to
stop a South Carolina lynching with
Federal troops would be inspiring.
In 1864, when Lincoln was running
for his second term, the issues were
the same as they are today. The par
amount issue of that campaign jwas
whether President Lincoln was to be
sustained in his efforts to put down
the rebellion, preserve the Union and
wipe out slavery. As the Democratic
party is now advocating that Ameri
can troops be withdrawn from the
Philippines and the insurgents be giv
en control of the country, so then they
are demanded that the Federal sol
diers be withdrawn from the states in
rebellion and peace be sought "by ces
sation of hostilities."
In the states where Afro-American
voters have been disfranchised the
whites are now discussing the idea of
separating the school. funds so that
the taxes paid by Afro-Americans will
go to support schools for their race.
The Southern Democrats who claim
they are the best friends of the Afro
Americans have a queer way of show
ing their friendship. First, they dis
franchise a man because he i Illiter
ate and then take away his opportu
nity to acquire knowledge.
By giving a number of good appoint
ments to Afro-Americans, the Tam
many Democrats made many votes
among the race in Greater New York.
But when the race riots came the
Tammany policemen clubbed and mis
treated many innocent people simply
becauses their faces were black. All
of the New York Democratic Afro
Americans, except the men who hold
jobs, will vote the Republican ticket
this year.
"The gentleman ifrom North Caro
lina', Mr. Linney, has seen fit to criti
cise the South for her treatment of the
Negroes I want to say to him and all
others who think like him that\his is
a white man's government, and we in
tend to rule in the South by whatever
means it is found necessary to em
ploy."Congressman Talbert of South
Carolina, a Democrat, in a speech in
the Fifty-sixth congress.
PRESIDENT MCKINLEY.
Two months ago the city council of
Montgomery, Ala., passed an ordinance
providing separate seats for white and
Afro-American passengers. To the
credit of the Montgomery Afro-Ameri
cans be it said that they are boycotting
the cars and the company's receipts are
falling off alarmingly. Montgomery is
a Democratic city and it was a Demo
cratic city council that passed the ob
noxious law.
About a month ago the Honorable J.
Milton Turner, the dean of Afro-Amer
ican Democrats, came to Chicago with

great flourish of trumpets and opened
an Afro-American annex to the Na
tional Democratic headquarters for the
purpose^ of .catching- any stray votes
that might happen to pass that way.
Now Turner has flown and there is
no Head to the headquarters.
Bourke Cochran, the gentleman from
Ireland, who has proposed the repeal
of the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments, is now in the West speaking
for 'Bryan. Four years ago Mr.. Coch
ran said: "The American Nation will
never consent to substitute the repub
lic of Washington, of Jefferson and of
Jackson for the republic of an Altgeld,
a Tillman or a Bryan.
The Chicago Afro-American Demo
crats gave notice tha they would cele
brate emancipation day with a grand
"todo" at which Bryan would declare
against disfranchisement of the race
in the South. Emancipation day has
come and gone, but the big demonstra
tion did not materialize and, up to
date, Bryan has net, declared himself.
Twenty of the largest cotton mills
of the Piedmont' distinct of South Car
olina have gone on half time because
of the high prices of cotton. The Af
ro-American planters are getting from
two to three times as much for their
cotton as they received under a Dem
ocratic president. This is McKinley
prosperity*
It is said that the Goebelites in Ken
tucky are in favor of disfranchising
the Afro-Americans in that state, al
though there are, according to the cen-

sus of 1890, but 268,000 Afro-Americans
to 1,860,000 whites. They can hardly
say that there is danger of "Negro
domination" in Kentucky.
In 1896 South Carolina cast for all
candidates for president, 68,907 votes,
and 58,798 of them went to Tillman's
man Bryan. The black men of South
Carolina were n'ot allowed to poll more
l
than ten per^cejit.. ft their .voting
strength. That's Tillman's idea of "con
sent of the governed."
Last week was "whiskers week" and
the barbers' trade fell off. Men who
intended to wear beards this winter
neglected to shave. The fellow who
made an election bet that he would not
shave until Bryan is elected will not
be of much use to the barbers.
Five states, Alabama, Louisiana, Mis
sissippi, North Carolina and South
Carolina have undertaken to deprive
600^000 of the "governed" of the oppor
tunity to give or withhold that con
sent guaranteed as a right by the Dec
laration of Independence.
Nine out of ten of the large manu
facturing and business men are sup
porting McKinley. What stronger ar
gument do the wage earners want than
this that the best interests of the
country demand the success of the Re
publican ticket?
J. W. A. Shaw, one of the Afro
American Democrats who was given a
place by Tammany, haa returned to the
Republican fold. He says he made the
greatest mistake of his life when he
went over to the Democracy a few
years ago.
Bryan's campaign is evidently to try
to stampede the people by an oratori
cal" hurrah and thus keep them from
sober thought and reason. It has
failed simply because our people think.
Gab is great, but sense is greater.
Senator Jones, chairman of the na
tional Democratc committee, says he
will not leave Chicago until Bryan is
president. Mr. Jones should at once
make arrangements for his permanent
residence in Chicago.

risking their money on election bets
are shrewd fellows, and they are not
influenced by sentiment. The odds are
still three to one and upward in favor
of McKinley.
Be sure to make a vigorous fight for
the Republican candidates for congress
in every district where there is a pos
sible chance of election. A Republic
an congress is needed to uphold the
president.
Governor Roosevelt threw the weight
of his influence to the school bill pro
hibiting the establishment of separ
ate schools for the races, which passed
the New York legislature last winter!
Bishop Turner's principal grievance
is against the United States supreme
court. Would it be improved by the
addition of Bryan's men, Tillman, Alt
geld and Boss Croker?
Indiana is a close state in every elec
tion majorities are always small, but
a careful canvass of the state shows
that McKinley will get a larger plur
ality than in 1896.
The wage earner who works a full
day is entitled to full pay in honest
money for his toil. A 50-cent. dollar
is not honest money, and Bryan knows
j-it.
Bryan is chasing around the country
after votes like a "yaller pup" up and
down the fields for a rabbit he saw
last week.
There are 89 Afro-American clerks
in the pension office at Washington,
and their pay amounts to $87,740 per
annum.
Bryan, with his crude financial the
ories and faulty ideas of government,
is still airing his ignorance before the
people.
American honor is involved in the
question of the American dollar. Both
must be preserved untarnished.
If you wish your wife and little ones
at home to continue happy and con
tented, vote for McKinley.
A vote for Bryan is a vote for ad
versity.

THE LOCATION.
The Eckstein Norton University is situated at Cane
Spring, K.y., twenty-nine miles from Louisville, Ky., in
one or the most health and quiet settlements in the
Statethe county being'what is known as a prohibition
county for many years. The building and grounds are
on a lofty hill of rich, rolling land, surrounded on all
sides by mountain streams, dashing miniature cataracts,
high mountains, peopled with timber of many varied
species. In this quiet retreat away from the bustle of
city life, free from the unhealthy seductions and allure
ments of places of vice and unwholesome amusements,
one finds study easy, recreation helpful, and the physical
powers developed and secured. All this plays no unim
portant part in a student's life, and is aptly suited to all
who desire to prepare for an active life.
