THEY DECAMPED.
The Plain Dealer, a journal de
voted to colored interests, of this
city, has had rather a severe shak
ing tip.
Two gentlemen of color, by the
names of: Griffin and Lindell, have
been running it and had been hav
" ing it printed by the Utah Maga
zine Printing company, and had
succeeded in getting several of our
prominent Democrats to sign notes
for various amounts, and- for this
favor they in return were to give
these bright politicians write-ups in
flowing terms, so as to influence
the colored brethren on the ques
tion of voting for these Democratic
favorites.
After gaining their endorsements
to their notes they took a train for
some other city, and now the notes
are in the hands of interested par
ties, who say the notes must be
paid. It is also said that one of
them borrowed the other's wife and
had not returned her up to leaving
the city. The S. L. Star, October 2,
1895.
If the public had read the Broad
Ax, no one need have been flim
flammed by this gang of Double
Dealers.
'COLORED MEN GET INTO
THE I. N. G.
MEMBERS OP THE NINTH BATTALION
ARE INSPECTED AND APPROVED.
Apter five years of effort on the
part of its organizers an agreement
was reached last night whereby the
Ninth Battalion, an independent
command of Chicago colored men,
will be mustered into the State
service as a part of the National
Guard. Assistant Adjutant-General
Hugh E. Bayle with Col. Purcell
ot the governors staff, came from
Springfield yesterday and inspected
the battalion in its armory, Thirty
seventh street. The battalion was
founded by its commanding officer,
Maj. J. C. Buckner, and comprises
four companies, two hundred and
sixty-one men all told. They were
put through a drill and acquitted
themselves .well. The Adjutant
General inspected the men and their
equipment individually. When he
had finished he told the command
that its appearance was excellent
and that he would muster it into
the service October 1, at Battery
D. J
The mustering in of the Ninth
Battalion is a part of an arrange
ment that was made before the last
gubernatorial election, and as a
part of the outcome of which the
Hibernian Rifles became a part of
ine xxanonai uuard as the Seventh
Regiment. Before this the Hiber
nian Rifles and the colpred battalion
tried to be accepted as a part of
the State forces. Neither organi
. $Wflr2Jpded in its efforts and
jW th, xMMriren at the time was
" that the State did not want class
organization in the guard. The
Hibernians were all Irishmen, and
the other was a colored command.
Thomas L. Hartigan promised Gov.
Altgeld support in the campaign in
return for a promise to mutter the
Hibernians into the service if he
was elected. The promise was kept
and the Seventh Regiment was
formed. Hartigan told iiaj. Buck
ner that the colored troops would
eventually get in. Last night the
official promise was given.
The battalion is a fine body of
military looking men. They have
uniforms and mil be allowed money
therefor because the State will not
have to furnish "them. They will
ako get $1,500 a year for armory
rental. They already have muskets;
tie officials are Major J. C. Buck
ner; Captains, J. R. Marshall,
Adolph Thomas, John Fellows, Ro
bert Jackson; Quartermaster, R. J.
B. Ellington; Adjutant, J. H. John
son; burgeon, J. N. Croker; In
spector of Rifle Practice, F. S.
Searles; Chaplain, JSF. Thomas.
From Chicago Tribune, Sept. 15,
1895.
The above" furnishes another
example of Republican duplicity
and treachery toward the colored
boys. For five lone years these
colored men endeavored to get re
cognition from the hands of Gov.
Fifer, and the Republican officials,
but without success, notwithstand
ing the late Mayor Carter Harri
son urged upon the Republican
governor to deal with these men as
he did with the whites. It remained
for the broad minded Gov. Altgeld
a Democrat,to do justice and honor
to these colored American citizens.
We are personally acquainted with
many of the members of this or
ganization having lived next door
neighbors for three years to Capt. F.
S. Searles, ane we know that by
this graceful act of the Democratic
officials thousands of colored votes
will go to that party, asthey can
now see that thn Democrats are
their truest and best friends. All
honor to the brave and gallant
Democratic governor of the great
state of Illinois This act will bring
a feeling of confidence and admi
ration to the colored Americans
everywhere.
