If not, it will be Interesting reading just at this time. The Democrats have not been studying the figures to any extent, not even enough to murmur "Who stuck Bill Patterson?" You see at the election previous to this one the election of Governor was thrown into the legislature.That body failed to elect and Gov. D. Russell Brown held over.

The legislature stands, Republicans, 103; Democrats 6. This is the reply which this gallant little state gives to the Democrats who are tinkering with the tariff.

CHJ Taylor for the position of recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia has been adversely reported by the senate committee on the District of Columbia. This insures is rejection by the Senate. We have steadily maintain that the Democratic party was not the friend to the colored man, was not activated by great principles and was not desirous of writing the great wrong of a century growth which had been done Us by the dominant element in this country. Here is a practical example of the truth of what we said. Present Cleveland seems to be desirous of doing justice to all men regardless of the race or color, and yet he is hampered by a class of people who are prejudiced to the core. The excuse given for Mr. Taylor's rejection: namely, that to confirm would be a violation of the home group sang in the Chicago platform is all nonsense. This plank has been torn up some time ago by this very body. What's in the platform was violated when this same gentleman was nominated to be minister to Bolivia, and why was he then rejected? Mr.Taylor is in a peculiar predicament. His Democratic friends will not support him because he is a negro, and his Republican enemies will not support him because he is a Democrat. The day is not far distance, however when the man of both parties who are the creatures erase prejudiced will have to stand at the bar of public opinion and receive the punishment so justly deserved. As for us, we are opposed to any man, be he Republican or Democrat who is so swayed by Prejudice that he cannot give a black man Fairplay. Is members of the races will rally around this flag, and swear Allegiance to this principle, they will be respecting themselves and others will respect them.

Both Madeline Pollard and WCP BreckenridgeWord negro heaters. Both shared in the feeling of content for the black man. She discoursed upon the immorality of our race and in so doing forgot the rottenness of his own. Members of the superior race who are disposed to try to the Negro for his shortcomings should keep their mouth shut in the face of such an example.

He has never had a doubt that the counting of a quorum would eventually become one of the fixed rules of the house, no matter which party is in power. If he felt any surprise at all at the action of the democratic caucus in directing the committee on rules to prepare a rule providing for the counting of members present and not voting, in order to make a quorum, it was not because the caucus had come around to his ideas but because as many as 40 democrats should have voted against the proposition. While the Republican members of the House are there row Believers in the principle of counting a quorum it is not yet certain that they will support the row reported by the committee on rules, or that they will vote at all to help the Democrats get a quorum to adopt it. The principal reason for this uncertainty is that the caucus resolution also directed the committee to report a rule to compel the attendance of absent members. It will depend upon how the Democrats intend to accomplish the proposed reforms what position the Republicans will take. Another Democratic senator has placed himself in the doubtful column. Senator Smith of New Jersey, in his speech on the Tariff bill, which Senator Quay correctly called a “ measure of mingled malice, compromise and sectionalism,” renewed the cold shivers which Senator Hill Cent up and down the spines of the free Traders last week. It has been agreed that the debate on the bill as a whole shall end next Monday. Then the contest over the individual schedules will begin and the fighting Bill be forced by the Republicans from the 1st to the last. The Democratic managers of the bill are in doubt as to the status of at least six Democratic senators, not to mention the successor to the late Senator Vance, of North Carolina, who died here Saturday night.

For instance, Senator Gray, chairman of the committee, ls known as chief ol the Senate "cuckoos," and a man who would do more for the administration than any other Senator while Senator Lindsay, the other democratic member of the committee, is in addition to being a cuckoo known as Carlisle's man. The significance of these selections will not be underrated when it is remembered that Secretary Carlisle, representing Mr. Cleveland, has been from the first to the last mixed up in all the dealings between the democratic Senators and the sugar trust. Senator Mills, of Texas has publicly stated that Secretary Carlisle gave the President of the Sugar trust a letter introduction to him and that he refused to see him when he called to present it. The democratic ask credit for being fair because Senator Allen of Nebraska was put upon the committee, but they do not deserve it, as Allen has voted with the democrats on all political questions and is regarded as a democrat, although he calls himself a populist. It is clear that if anything is shown up by this committee it will be through the energy of two Republican members-Lodge Massachusetts and Davis of Minnesota. But nothing can be shown unless witnesses choose to tell what they know, the Supreme court having decided some years ago that a Congressional committee could compel them either to testify or produce books dealing with a citizens private affairs.

While the Prohibitionist-Reform Party won, it would be well to remember that the fight was not along the lines of the wet and dry contest which took place in this city several years ago. It was not a question of license or no license, but rather one of men. The new party put up strong candidates against all of the city officers and in the contest the machine broke down and the manipulators were routed. The effect of this will far-reaching. During the year past we have noted a similar spirit this locality among the white men. There is such a thing as going too-far In the management of the affairs of the people. As for the colored people while they have been represented to the contrary are nevertheless among the most conservative class in all communities and when they enlist under the banners of these new movements do so only on account of ill treatment by the powers that be. We must confess that we have not been over enthusiastic over these reform movements since our experience of many years ago when the colored brother was so unceremoniously snubbed after having assisted in the elevation of glib-tongued orators to power. We trust that our Norfolk brethren will meet with a greater success and we shall await with Interest the result of the experiment. Let them be rational and conservative tn their requests which need not be dignified with the name of demands, and then let them insist upon that to which they are justly entitled. The liberal-minded white southerner should be encouraged in any honest effort to better the financial condition of the community, when in so doing he recognizes the rights of all of the citizens.

An exceptionally fine ticket had been placed before the people and they demonstrated their appreciation therefor by rallying to it, and thereby once more saving the ward from the Democrats. The issue was plainly between good and bad government and in the contest the former won. The Democrats endeavored to "steal a march" upon the voters but all without avail. The bogus ticket was swamped and the Democratic one badly beaten. All honor to the true and tried colored men who declined to be mlsled. The candidates on the Democratic ticket were weak. Out of the nine nominees, seven of them were unfit for the positions to which they aspired. The present representation In the Council of Richmond have conducted themselves upon lines to merit respect, and invite a favorable consideration of their claims. While the first and 4th precincts did well, the second and third covered themselves with glory. In the former, the opposition secured only nine votes and in the latter only seven votes. We lay aside all feelings of bitterness. realizing that in the result all citizens, white and black have a just cause to rejoice.

This is a great victory for the colored people, not only of that state but of the entire country, and it is indeed a source of gratification that 1 upright judge could be found who would fit a see deliver an opinion in accordance with the law and the facts. It was to be regretted that such a test case had to be made up and rather a matter of surprise that enough liberal-minded Democratic white man could not have been found to have killed such a pernicious measure in the community rooms of the legislature. We have a much better class of democratic white men in this state. Although the prejudiced Gov. McKinney recommended the enactment of such a law, hoping no doubt to win the approval of the white rabble, he was unceremoniously “ Sat down upon”, for the bill was killed. When white men act in this patriotic matter it makes the colored citizen realize that he has a state to labor 4. It Kindles the fire of patriotism and caused him to respond with alacrity to any call made by our Chief Executive.
