The present’Congress, meeting for its closing session Jin December, will adjust the Brownsville difficulty by agreement with Senator* Foraker and other republicans. As the democrats are solidly against the restoration of the soldiers, and the republicans differ only as to the method of reinstate ment, the matter can well go over to month after next. Brownsville cannot justly figure as an “issue” in this campaign

It will be President Taft. Those who wish freedom from work may obtain it by voting for Bryan.
Think of having Vardaman as Secretary ot the Treasury! That may happen if Bryan is elected. The negro is a republican, not only for the benefits he hopes to secure, but for the evils he seeks to avoid.
Colored men: Vote for Taft and Sherman, law' and order; against Biyan, Tillman, Vardaman and He, flirt,
Will some one point to any w ord of sympathy uttered by Bryan for the colored citizens who are denied their civil and political right in the South?
The election of Bryan would perhaps mean the adoption by the national administration of the creed of TUlman, Vardaman & Co.
“We stuff ballot boxes, we shot them; we are not ashamed of it,” Pitchfork Tillman, in a speech in the United States Senate.
Some of the papers are putting forward the plea that Bryan as President would not do the country much harm, Such a proposition will not attract many voters. We want a President who can do some good.
It cost a million lives and a billion dollars to rid this country of the curse of slavery, The Democratic party hopes fo take away the manhood rights of tho Affo-American and reduce them to a state of vassalage.
No Negro “near-democrat” has yet satisfactorily shown how' the election of Bryan would restore any Negro soldiee of the United States Army, or vidicate the policy of Senator Foraker.
If any one has any idea that the great mass of the American people have any intention of allowing Mr. Bryan, at the head of a cohort of Democratic brigadiers, to seize the reigns of this Government, such a person knows little of the amount of good sense which is peculiar to the people of the United States,
“In Caba the Afro-American soldiers astonished the world by their bravery and coolness under fire. They were fighting to free the beautiful isle from the Spanish yoke. It was a Republican President, McKinley, who commissioned 266 men of the race to lead their men to battle:
TAFT. The address of Judge Taft to the Afro-American ministers ought to convince any sensible member of the race that he is a friend. His father, Judge Alphonse Taft was so noted for such friendship that he was chosen as one of the speakers at the celebration of the adoption of the 15 th Amendment by the colored citizens of Cincinnati, so that it r\|ps in the Taft family. Now, we may inquire how, or when Mr. Bryan has shown any friendship for the race? One or two things is certain: either Mr. Bryan cares noth ingfor the Afro-American, or he dares not speak his sentiments. He had an excellent opportunity w'hen certain prominent Afro-Americans made over tures tohim, but he remained as dumb as an oyster. Moreover, even w r ere Mr. Bry an to make great professions of friendship —what reliance could be place in them? As everybody knows, Bryan has advocated a great many policies as of transcendant importance, and, in a short time thrown them to the four winds of Heaven. His vagaries and inconsistencies have alienated thousands of Democrats of the strictest sect. One of his latest fads is the guarantee of bank depositors which has just been repudiated by the Bankers National Convention at Denver, the scene of his nomination. Judge Taft advocates the enforcement of the amendments: Bryan congratulates the West Virginia Democrats upon their Jim Crow scheme. We cannot see that Mr. Bryan has even dared to show any friendship for the Afro-American, or any disapprobation of any of the stolid south deviltry, not even lynching.
'At ihe recent aonual conference of the A. M. E. Zion church, held at Washing-ton Metropolitan chnrch, St. Louis, Mo , the Key. J. C. Campbell, formerly pastor of Campbell’s < 'hapell of this city, but for the past three years pastor of St. John A. M. E.

FOR CONGRESS
Hon. Jesse Overstreet Sure to be Returned Hon. Jesse Overstreet, the congress man from this district, opened his campaign last Tuesday night to an ex* tra large and appreciative of vo'ers at the Northwestern Republican Club. The voters were so many that M' Overstreet bad to address an overflow meeting of 1000 after his address in the club room. Congressman Overstreet dealt entirely with the national issues of this campaign. He showed why W. H. Taft i» the logical man for prasident and why W, J. Bryan should and Will be turned down by the voters. Occasionally be was a little satirical at the expense, of the Democratic candidate, bat not offenaively so. He kept the Democrats in the half in a good humor. “I have never wavered in the belief,’ he said, “that the people of this state and Nation will, when the time comes be found still firmly adhering to the Republican dnerines. The Republican party has never sought to gain advan tage by deception. It has been open and outspen. It has nothing to conceal. “We are presenting as the advocate of our principles tbe best man of the hoar that could be found between tbe iwo oceans. Of the things necessary to administer tbe highest effice of the Government Mr. Taft possesses them to a remarkable degree. “On the other hand we have present ed to us no new individual. He has been with ns before. He is like tbe uoov—we have him always with us.

Who is the most popular minister?
The one supreme question for the colored voters to determine is whether they endose Bryan, Williams, Tillman Vardaman and others whd openly advocate and endorse disfranchisement of colored voters simply because of color.
“I will never vote to educate a horde of beings who beings who have forgotten the God that made them, who never knew an obligation to society, who are void of patriotism.”—Congressman Byrd, Democrat, of Mississippi.
The southern Democrats say that they would like to get rid of the AfroAmerican laborers, yet nearly all of the states have statutes making it a penal offense to entice laborers from the plantations,and the white planters would make it very warm for any person who attempted to separate them trom their field hands.
Republicanism stands for ^equality of citizenship for all; democracy is allied with jim-crowism, disfranchisement and every form of racial discrimination.
“The white men in the South'has disfranchised the negro in self piotection. The white^ men of the ^South are determined that the negro will and shall be disfranchised everywhere.”—W. J. Bryan at New York City, 1908.
