Oaarlu u, j. Tayler, a colored man who
wu until recently oetnol general sad mla-
Uter te Liberia under appointment by Prat
tdent Cleveland, baa written a long epea
latter te Governer Fersker, of Ohie. Ha
, ably controvert, tbe argument, used by the
governor in an eeiay recently published,
and bl. muterly discussion of political top
ics mnat prodnee a marked impression upon
the oelored vote. He tint expreesM setls setls
faetleu '-that the negreea' war debt la paid,"
and proceed.: "Ne longer, lam given te
understand, will tha campaigner, be al
lowed te aay, 'the Republican! freed you,'
and Imply 'the Republican. own you.'"
Frem tee governor's remarks about a
tree ballet and a fair count ba quotes as fol fel
low.: "There was mueh difference of
opinion, some Instating tbat only the white
people bad enough Intelligence; ethers
said only the colored people were snffl
elently liiysl. Finally, as a generous oem
premise, ft was determined that tha right
of suflr.ge should be conferred upon white
men and blacks, loyal and disloyal, alike."
Mr. Tayler point, out that this It an admis
sion that the enfranchisement of the negre
was sn ezpedleney, a political necessity,
because he wenld vote blindly any tieket
if ba was only given te understand tbat It
was " ado jjinaunvs sort. " in isea,
when you enfranchised my peer trouble
some race, a let of worn-out, no-prlnelpled
political scsvengers, styled mere familiarly
carpet-baggers, were sent by you and your
party te tha peer negrees of the Beutb, with
credentials made eutaa the Moses family
come te lead the blsak brother out of tbe
'Wilderness' The recerd. of heaven will
show tbst under this guise deeds were done
by these se-called levers of negrees that
wenld put te abame the devil. Instead of,
when getting Inte power and control by tbe
votes of tbe blacks, selecting tbe very best
men of color for positions, they ohese the
most Ignorant bee unlearned."
He draws a graphic pleture of tbe South Seuth
etn firmer placed by the colored vote
under the rule of a stranger careless of the
locality, paying no taxes snd stirring up
.trite between tbe farmers and their men,
because It wss their interest te de se that
they might continue te rule. " When
these wblte men of the Seuth oemmenoed
te plan bow te down ' carpet bag rule, '
and upon tbat suoeeeded in doing se, tbe
bowl went up ' negre outrages ' ana fraudu
lent oeunts. I Btit you sgsln : Did net
' carpet bag rule ' bring all this About T Is
net tbe Republican rarty alone responsi
ble 7
He asks It it Is net a fact that, consider
lng the number of colored voters whose
ballets were east for Blaine, the president
bss appointed mere oelored men te office
than any of bis predecessors.
THEY SHOULD DIVIDE TBEIU VOTES.
Later be observes : "The colored men
heretofore bave been considered te be no
mueh Republican driftwood se msny
stuffed clubs te whale the political Ufa out
of tbe Democrat le party with.
" Muat net every appointment given by
this administration te oelored men go te
the Democratic party's credit, seeing tbst
tbeyarenet In any way Indebted te tbe
oelored voters T
"Is It net te the Interest of tbe oelored
men, being In the minority In tbls country,
te belong te no party as such, only te the
extent tbat tbe party afilliated with sub
served the best Interest of all theeltlzsns?
"Is net tbe worshipping of party a
threatening menace te tbe longevity of our
republle ? The oelored men in large num
bers without division vetlns the Republi
can ticket straight, without rorstehlng It,
while white Republicans were beoemlng
Democrats, (claiming the Republican party
te be cerrnpi) bas it net had the tendency
te mske men regardless of party think that
negrees were a let of simpletons snd unlike
ether men ?
"Ferget pirty for n minute and answer
this qneBtlun : Wenld it net be plselng tbe
oelored man in a mere respectable place,
In tbe minds el the thinking people It they
would dlvlde their votes llke ether men ?
Yeu have the Democratic, Republican,
Knights of Liber, antl-Monepollst, Green
backer and Prohibition parties, sll made by
white men entertaining difference of opin
ions. Why Is It that with all tbe white
man's Intolllgenco, these things era be?
Because he thinks, and instead of looking
through bis neighbor's npoetadt s he leeks
through his own. Should net the negre de
the same ?"
Then Mr. Tailor, referring te the blsek
elalars In the war, wants te knew why
twenty-fenr-jmre or Republican rule wss
r.et time enough for the-passage of all tbe
new pension bills tbst have lately flooded
Congress. He calls the Unpendent pension
blllatrsp tocateb Democrats and pral.es
the president for disapproving It lu spite
of the personal barm that such action would
bring te him.
"Yeu say: 'The party (Republican)
bas by destroying slavery, made labor
honorable.' Are we te understand tbat the
Republican party la entitled te ail the credit
for tbe emancipation of tbe nogreT Wbst
share belongs te the great army of Demo
crats who fought en thn Union side ?"
Referring te the elevation of bis race he
says. " We de net desire te be emasculated
by dependence. We went te some day ar
rive at tbe place where men are said te be
politically grown and mature. We want
no mere te be addressed as 'our peer cel.
ored people' or 'colored wards.' Call us
negre eltlzins. We sre net ashamed of our
mothers. The sensible ones among us are
antt-mlscegenatienUU, anil ataorpttenlsta
snd anti-mixers In every way. We con
tend tbat we can makoenrmarkunegroes,
the same as de the Germans as Germsns,
tbe Irish as Irish, and tbe French as French
men." The tariff then receives careful attention.
"Has net the Republican party been forced
test last oemo te the plaoe where they say
readjustment of tbe tarlQ; whereas they
aid some ten years ego it was geed enough
as It was, without any redaction t Is It net
a fact tbat the handlers of Imported Reeds
simply edvscce the money co (uprising these
duties and excise, marking up the prices
en the articles te be sold te tbe retail
buyer?, te ts te meet and make up this
money paid out with Interest?"
If It la true, as Governer Feraker says,
tbat the Deraccralie party is wsntlng In
business ability he wanla te knew hew it
ever man.ged te keep up Its organization
during twenty-four years absence from
power.

fering te some extent aa te the exact lan
guage used, but agreeing en all essentials.
Tba following la tba substance of tba affi
davits preceded by tba names of tha mea
who made them :
Themu MeHugh : "Harrison threatened
tha atrlkera with tba mllltla and te force
the mea back st tha point of tba bayonet,
and aald the wagu were eufuelent and all
that tba railroad companies could afford."
Michael Crowley t "Harrison did aay
tbat if tba reads were unable te pay mera
than 91 per day the man eugbt te be satis
fied, a. that amount was enough for any
Werklngmsn.V
Ben. Zsbm: "I can quota Benjamin
Harrison's exact language: ''If I were
governor et this atate or sheriff of tbl.
county 1 would bave every train running
If I bad te wade In bleed up te my finger
tlpe." -
William Huge : "Harrison did command
a mllltla company during the strike. He
elalmed the wsgea sufficient, and tbat tha
men bad nerigbteven te claim arbitration."
T. E Callahan: "Harrison insulted tbe
striker. In 1877. He said they were getting
pieniy or wages, tnat si a aay was aoun aeun
dant, and that many were obliged te live
en lesa tban that amount." '
Charles A. Fegsrty was chairman et the
relief committee In the 1877 strike. He was
unable te attend tbe meeting where Ben
Harrison's remarks were msde, but ba sent
ethers there wbn reported te him, corrobor
ating the above sta'.ment. a
Sel Hughes : Harrison did ssy 91 was
enough for the werklngmen who struck in
1877 snd characterized the strikers as law
breaker, and unworthy of eltlten'a rights."
Martin J. Murphy : "Harrison did aay
that striker, hsd forfeited all elslms te re
cognizance by going en strike and be
claimed that the railroad, oeuld net pay
any mere ana the striker, were net Justified
in asking for mere, and that 91 was suffi
cient for a werklngman and be engbt te bs
satisfied."
Patrick H.King:" Harrison did say tbat
the wages of the strikers were sufficient;
tbst the men must return te work or tbe
mllltla woeld force them te submit"
William B. Mlller : "Harrison at tbe con
ference ssld en two occasions a dollar a day
Is enough for a working man, and that If
the striker, did net return te work that
they would be put down by the mllltla at
thepolntet the baronet."
William Sheek : "Harrison said thst tbe
men hsd better work for a dellsr a day than
de what they were doing, and farther, that
a dollar a day was geed pay for a working
man." Jehn Haoklnsen : " Harrison did ssy
that one dollar was enough for any work werk
lngman, and they should accept that and be
sstlsOed."
The beard will mske a fermsl demand
for the 92,000 reward, but of course It will
net be paid, as the Journal Intended the
cfTer simply as a bluff'.
