WHERE BRYAN STANDS,
We ho£>e that every Afro-American voter will not fail to pay special attention to the following from the following from the Washington Evening Star: The Omaha Bee, on the subject of the Negro and suffrage, says: “It would be interesting to know Mr. Bryan thinks of the question. The southern wing of the Democratic party, which dominates the organization, should be magnanimous and allow Mr. Bryan to tell the northern people, particularly the northern Negroes, where he stands on the question of Negro disfranchisement.” “This is a useless inquiry. Mr. Bryan's position is thoroughly plain. He stands just where Mr. Cleveland stood, and just where any other man bearing the national standard of the Domocracy would be obliged to stand He approves of the Negro disfranchisements in'the South, and if Maryland, West Virginia. Kentucky and Missouri should join the states which have already acted he would approve that, Any other position would be impossible for him. The disfranchisements already affected will give him nearly forty unconstitutional votes, all of his calculations include that strength. Were he to decry it, and announce a purpose, if elected,to press for an enforcement of the amendments covering the matteP, he would commit political suicide. He would lose the whole support of the South, and go down in a defeat which would make Judge Parker’s defeat look almost like a triumph by comparison.” Any reasonable man can readily see that the statements of the Star are reasonable deductions from the surroundings in which Mr. Bryan finds himself. His only hope of election lies in the South, and he dares not utter one word in condemnation of the most atrocious acts of that section of the country. He even contradicted the statement of some prominent colored men who claimed to have satisfactory assurances from him He utterly failed to endorse the statements of Mr. Watterson. It is true that he may have made some promises that he would do some favors for such northern Afro-Americans as would try to secure for him a portion of the vote of their race in the North, but, if he did so, he used every precaution to prevent the fract from becoming known in the South.
managers are offering negroes in exchange for their votes. If it is to be patronage, the southern democrat wHU have a reckoning on that score at a later day. If patronage has been promised with no intention of keep ing the promise, Mr. Bryan and his managers would stand discredited as tricksters and political swindlers. If not patronage, the only other offer would be money, and it cannot be believed that Mr. Bryan would indulge in that kind of thing. The truth is, Mr. Bryan and his managers have nothing to offer the negro in exchange for his vote. They cannot give the negroes office, and they would not dare give them anything else, even if the negro would be willing to accept.it. Though seeking votes, ,Mr. Bryan does not dare publicly to declare his views on questions that affect the
negro race.
Bruce L. Keenan of Tahlequa, nominee for presidental elector on the republican ticket in Oklahoma, addressed not long ago a letter to Mr. Bryan that put the latter’s sincerity to a severe test. Mr. Bryan received the letter, but did not reply to it. Keenan pledged himself to vote for Mr. Bryan if the latter would make public his views on any of the seven proposals. Mr. Keenan’s offer
as follows:
i. State if you approve inagenera^ way the course of southern sentiment on the race question, as indicated by constitutional and legislative enactments on the suffrage question respect ing franchise, ‘ and if you would approve a change in the national constitution so that this program could be said to be within and not without
the constitution.
If you appiove this course of your southern allies I will support you for having the courage to say so; if you do not approve of this course of the “solid south,” and will say so, I will support you for having the courage to tell them whereii) they are wrong. The thirteenth amendment to the federal constitution abolished slavery; the fourteenth, gave civil rights to the

William J. Bryan and his nationa. democratic campaign committee are covertly attempting to secure the support of negro voters. In this extremity to force Mr. Bryan's election upon the country, his campaign managers find themselves close to a powder magazine. They fully understand the attitude of democrats in southern states on the negro question, and know that these democrats would rebell against affiliation with negroes. Mr. Bryan and his managers, however, are hopeful that they may util ize a certain portion of the negro votes in northern democratic^tates, and even in northern jrepublican states, without its bfeingf discovered by the democratic votgf of the South. It would be interesting to know in detail just what Mr. Bryan and his
It is almost certain that the Supreme Court of the United States will be reorgized during the next four years; and of course, should Mr. Bryan be elected, he will do the work. In so doing he would be compelled to be governed in his choice of the new justices by the wishes of the South, and in a little time, the supreme bench would have a majority of justices entirely ready and willing to reaffirm Judge Taney’s distum, There is no surmise about this this statement, and the statement needs no proof, being self-evident in
character.
In view of this fact, for Afro-Amer-cans to vote for the election of Mr. Bryan, would be moonstruck madness. Even under existing conditions, the
Afro-American derives but little bene-4|* iestro y
fit from the decisions of the courts; under such courts as would be constituted under the Bryan regime, he would have no protection whatever
either in the North or the South.
The election of Judge TafJ is the only possible preventative of such a fearful calamity to the race as the in* stalling of a Solid South Supreme Courts. Great efforts are being made to induce Afro Artnerican voters to fritter away their votes among the Socialists, Populists, Prohibitionists and other side show parties, to do anything except to support Judge Taft, but we fell confident that the mass of the voters will never be led ifito such
an act of consummate folly.
The Republican party is the. only party that has ever done good ft>r the Afro-American, and it is not considered wise policy to swap horses while
crossing the stream.
make this offer: I, as one of the appointad agents of the company, will offer to the ladies of this city, the Eureka Cqjnbat $1.50 Si.00 down and 50 cents when the comb is delivered. I do this at my own risk, and assure the company their money with the first payment. I will run the risk of collecting the 50cts, and shall willingly trust yon until you can get it, should you not have it when I make delivery of the comb. My visit to this city was for the purpose of selling these celebrated combs, but because I have not met with the success I anticipated on my visit to your city I make this offer, as stated above. I hope the ladies in this city will assist me, so that I can give them the honor of buying more combs than any other city. This comb is quite useful, and it take some thought to bring out the many results in it. By slightly turning the back of the comb agamst the .hair while combing it wil straighten nicely, twisting curls. When used with a good permade or tonic it will grow the hair nicely. Excellent k for drying the hair after a shampoo. Livens and makes tha hair light and fluffy. Will

used cold, warm or hot with good results.
These combs are made for men who wear

Mr. Overstreet’s name will always be associated with the move that resulted in the construction of the Federal building and the establishment of Ft. Benjamin Harrison To these achievements t^e rural free delivery, the gold standard, whose enactment bears his name, and assistant in the creation of the Department of Commerce and Labor is also credited to him. Mr. Overstreet is a thoroughly* conscientious representative and deserves the confidence and honor bestowed on him. His friendship to the colored people can.' not be questioned, as he has assisted many a colored man and woman to appointment in government service. We do not believe that any colored man having the high ideal of the progress of his race at heart cafi refuse to support his«re-election to congress. Mr.-Overstreet also enjoys the distinction of being the only Tnember of congress on two National Commissions. He is a member of the National Monetaiy Commission, and also a member of the National Postal Commission, which is reorganizing the postal service. These commissions are the two largest affairs of congress.
