Adams, the St. Paul, Minn., manager of "the Aopeal," one ol the leading journalist in the United States. As a j mrualist, Mr. Adams is one of ihr best in the laud and a man who is respected bv the leadiug republicans in the West. He is in the city, one of the committee of fifty, and the only colored man on the committee from Minnissota who aided in se curing his state for the meeting ot the next National Republican Con' 7Mlti0U. Mr Adams has been given the credit of having done some effec tive work in the iuterest of his state. He is a polished gentleman and being well known by the represen tatives of his race and the party, a more suitable man could not have been selected by the republicans of the state. The Bee can say for Mr. Adams that he, in connection, with the other members of the committee and the Minuisota contingent in this city accomplished the work. The above is a good portrait of itfr. Adams. When the "vote was announced that his .state, had secured the prize, the wildest excitemeut prevailed; men snatched their hats from their heads, aud smashed them up aud ladies waved tlieir Daudkerchiefs over the victory that the West had achieved. The citizens of Minuisota ought to feel highly congratulated over their victory ; the citizens of that state owe adebt of gratitude to John Q. Attains, the manager of the "Appeal,'' because it was he who iutiue.nced the colored mem bers ot i he committee to vote for Minneapolis. Mr. Adams has been the guest of Mr. A. F.

We think many of our exchanges are making a seiious bluuder iu their attacks upon several of the most oiomiueut coloied men of the ceuutjy who have by vutue of their position and circumstances Iimmii iHt'iifitiztd as leaders of the colored people. it matters not whether ibis leadership was sought or Was foiced upou iheui, u is Con ceded and acauowledged by the masses of the people. Whether the deserve it or not Is a small matter, aud it adds uothiug to the race, to be tiudiug fault with this inau or that mau because he has not 'lone the thing which is our miuds constitutes the essentials tor a true leader. As has been said "there is plenty of room at the top'' aud it would be a good idea to make the effort to reach that emi nence aud furuish he proper ex amines tor leaderahip rather thau deuouuee a fellow mau who has made the effort aud doue the best he could. Tuere may have been some selfishness iu wuat mauy of Iheui have doue, but is sure that our fault-finders are wholly uusel hsh iu what they are doing. If the circumstances were changed would they not also be a tntie sel fish aud turu public recoguitiou and influence to their own accouut just as those have done against wuoin they bring the complaint? Let us be charitable to those wtio pose as leaders aud wheu they are uumiud lul of their responsibilities, force borne one to the fiout who will do his duty, but remember every man can't be a leader. WAMUNGTo.n, D. C. ATl HE FORM IS DISTRICT TICS. POLL Primary Elkcit jh The Popu lar Demand op tub Republicans- 3 LEA -on toj Confident. (Dily Post ) loral political pot is now The simmering, bpt thH two c intending factions of fie Republican party i are poking away at. the. 6e in an eneigetic manner, and within a few days it will b b riling with some indications at pre-ent of its run ning over. Political nfftirs among theio'al Republicans will remain " static quo umU the R-pubd- can national committee axes the time for the nominating conven tion. Then the hustling and the fun will begin. There are two factions at wrk in the city, each striving for the possession of the machinery. One is headed by Andrew Gleason and Peny Carson, who favor the pres ent order of things, which meaus a mass meeting in each district; the other headed by Calvin Chase, which seeks reform aud the inau guration of the general primary system of selecting delegates. Each side claims to represent the majority of the people, and each is certain of success. It has been the custom hereto fore for the central committee to call upon the organizations in the twenty-two old legislative districts to hold conventions or primaries, and elect in each case three mem bers to represent the district in the new ceutral committee. The new committee then arranges for the convention which choses the two Presidential electors. These ceutral committeemen have hereto fore been elected iu mass conveu tiou, aud the point oyer which the coutest now arises is the attempt to return to the primary system. The situation is perhaps, best ex pressed by the leaders ofthecou tending factions. "Affairs have been run with, a high hand in this city," said Cal vin Chae, "and it is high time for the better element of lhe party to rise aud put down mob rule and whiskey politics. I am tue origi nator of the general primar.v sys tem alone, and the best people are behind me in this struggle. By the primary system alone can we get an honest expression of the people, for uuder the arraugeme.ut now in use the halls are crowded aud the worst class coutrol thiugs. Mr. Gleason aud Mr Carson aie claiming it will cost $3,000 to honl a primary. This is not true; it will only oost 550, ut $25 to a district. We want to ieiunn to the old Kder ol things and prove that we are woithy of suffrage. I is oue of our objects to iettoie suff rage to the resuleuts of thi- city. District politics has degeuerated so tnat you caunot get decent people to attend any of these convention, aud, as a matter of fact, there are now only seven or eight white peo ple on the ceutral committee. We have gone about this matter sys tematically aud have organized a Harrison and Mortou league in every district. These leagues send delegates to a ceutial league, aud j m tui8 wav we keep m touch with the people. "We have a maj irity in the cen tral committee pledged to adoot the primary system, aud we pro pose to elevate Republioau politics in Washington to decency and respectability aud overthrow the gaug that has been running things. As the thing is uow run the halls are filled with the follow ers of the crowd that coutrols things, and anything they propose is rushed through." When asked if he was a candi date for delegate to the nominat ing convention, Mr. Chase replied that his friends were urging him, aud he was iu their hauds. Others spoken of were, he said, Commis sioner Douglass, ex iiaor xniweu, Dauiel E. Cahill, aud M. M. Park er. Mr. Chase expressed the ut most confidence in the success of the element of ffhich he is the ac credited leader. "There is nothing in it," said Mr. Audrew Gleasou last night. "Calvin Chase and a half a dozeu others are making a big noise aud clamoiing tor a primary, but they are not in it. We will go about it as we always have and Perry Car eon and Andy Gleason will be the delegates. Talk aoout a primary, whv it would cost $8,000; and there's the money coming from to .pay the bills? we waatmepres- iUAY, Nt VhAIbER 28. 1891. enr method. The central commit tee will t-all upon the districts to hold teir meetings and each dis trict will shct its own committee men as it sees tit. Every district will meet on the same night and at the sume hour, so there can be no colonizing. Pert-onally, I'm not afraitl ot the piimarv plan, for I ean go into'it and defeat an, man they pin up Ave to one. "If the cbHiruiHu of the cpntral ommittee, doseii'c issue the call for '; convention we will gnt a call signed bv the mtj rity of the committee ami issue it over his head. How Mr. Divis, the chair man, j-tands, i don't, know. My idea is that immediately after the date for the President! 1 conven tion is decided, the local commit tee will issue its call, aud the fun will hegin." Mr. Gleason is couGrie.nt his sectiou will sweep aside all oppos ition, and he has no hesitation iu announcing the fact that he is a Blaine man. A WOMAN SPEAKS. The Grand Army EncApmemnt. Editor of the Bee: I differ so widely with the editor of oue of our daily papers, that 1 ask of you space euough for this article- He says that there is uo need to anticipate trouble in connection with the coming Grand Aiiny Eucampment and the color ed people. He ought to know that the colored people ot this city are uot fools and that they only jarigo the future by the past au-i pieseut. There is every rear on to expect a manifestation of the prt iuriiue ou that occasion, aud there is nothing left for the colored people to do that will mvite a display of the feeliug that has existed, does exit ami very likely will exist fr some time to come. The colored people of this city, and any who may vi.-it hre. are yff-retl insult on insult when ever'au opportunity is given a certaiu Negto hating class of people who do business here. Bh cause a colored man dares to tell the truth he is considered a "mis chief maker, fie assumes a distrust ful, threatening and dictorial at tention towaid the host, the city ot Wttfbiiigtoii." The coloied people of this city have been asleep long enough, come, wake up ami be men ami uot dumb driveu cattle. The col ored man uever excites himself, theie is always something behiuo him wheu he becomes excited. His great fault is to take tilings too eaMly. Iu the late Ecumenical Conference held in this city the colored .iau was a man iu the midst of men aud tue whole con sidered oue ot the moat intelligent gatUtriug ever held. He was iu the uiidsi ot foreigners ami strang- eis iiom an quarters oi tue union aud Was not made to feel thai there wts any diffeieuce, for there was none, until be came in contact with this piej itiiced class of Washing ton. Some of the public places will seive a duty caiicas'an, with vermin holding caucus over his body, auy time iu piefetuce to serving an intelligent, clean, geu iltmauly Negro, simply because ol the t.xuie ot t e skin. There is uo need of letting the colored G. A. men c me here feel ing that theie is uo prt j uiice ex isting iu this city, the capital ot tue Union. Sound the alaim that none may be deceived. Theie is no city that is more coutamiuated. I say draw the same hue ou all taces aud wheu one is a gentleman, aud that meaus much, let him re ceive the treatment that is due h m. It mouev makes lhe Hue mau theu should the white raco clasp to its bosom the absconders aud defaulters so uumerous. All the faults of a colored man are seen. Certaiuly, we as colored people diaw the line ou certaiu oues of our race, and wby uot? all are certaiuly uot bad aud some are good. As a race we are about as good as auy other aud takeu sepa rately we' have some who can staud the calcium light. The peo ple of this city must learu to know r.har. all colored Deoole are not alike. We are as other races, di vided iuto good, iudiffcreut aud bad classes aud we ouly ask that each class may receive the treat meut that belongs to it. Had our relations been different some forty years ago wewould ask nothiug to day. We are uot to be kept down we are rising, we will uot much louder assume the role of the lamb, but will transfer it to our white brother and in its stead we will put on the garb of the lion. 1 do s ucerelv hopa tht the colored G. A. R men. who mav visit the eit, may receive just such treatment as any other less pnjiitlice.il city would give. In conclusion, ami apart from what I have said, let me suggest that the agitators who are working against all public places that make aud how diff-renca on account of color need only to ge.t our women inter ested in the cause, and success is .-ure to crown your efforts. Our fathers, hu-hand-, brothers aud a tVwof ns make the mtniny that is pent in some of the doomed places, but we, the women, do the priuci- pie part of the spending. We will help ou in tnis .our great under taking, we are a power. A Woman. WORLD'6 FAIR NOTES.
