The Reverend Cor --.I hp 'hlf sDOkesman. He viiciw " - i . if t f ..!- in lpaarue with tan, sort o' like the constitution of the TTnuit Rtates was before the big war. according to the New Enganders. The Reverend Corrothers expatiaieo a -i. mnn .a iri that Taft believed neith er in Christ nor In the salvation or infants, and was, therefore, worse man a neainen The Reverend Corrothers is quite much of a roaster. He is always roast- inr Homebody. Generally It is some hnrfv or a treat many someooaics iu the South, but in hie long and fiery nwh lat n eht he intimaies mi he Is going to quit roasung wi Democrats In the South and go to roasting white Republicans of the North who have for these many years set the negroes of the South against their best friends, the Southern wnue people, and as a natural consequence set the Southern white people against the negroes He was a little sarcastic In n laces, though, as when he referred to "King Roosevelt" and "Brother Moses Washington," meaning Booker Washington, whom Northern negroes have never liked. CORROTHERS AN AGITATOR. Corrothers is ah agitator, and I have no doubt something of a demagogue. one who does not have any very wholesome Influence over tho mem bers of his race, as a rule, but he does furnish food for thougnt, and since he la a very able man and a prominent negro, what he says Is worth conslder- ng. Of course, what he Is mad about primarily Is the Brownsville business though the negroes have another and a greater grievance against Mr. Tan that is because they say Taft has been advocating a "Lily White" Republican party In the South, which would mean the elimination of the negro from the party altogether, so far as the South Is (Concerned. Whether or not it would be wise to welcome the negroes Into the Democratic party la a question, of course; but whether or not, there are ndicatlons a-plenty that. In the lan guage of the boys, there Is something doing among the negroes, and quite considerable. Of course, there were ether speakers Besides the Reverend Corrothers, but tny were in accora on one point that was, as expressed by the Rev. J. Milton Waldron, president of the league, tlje Republican party has practiced duplicity upon tne ne groes long enough, and it Is time for the negroes to open their eyes and e for themselves. WHAT HE SAID. The Reverend Corrothers said: "This league represents a voting strength of more than 800,000. 90 per cent, of which Is opposed to Mr. Taft being elected President of the United States. "We who are assembled here num ber more than 1,000, and the meet- ng is for the purpose of publicly rati fying the nomination of William J. Bryan as the choice of the independ- nt negroes of this country for Presi- ent." At this point Dr. Corrothers was in terrupted with shouts of "Amen!" and words of approval from nearly the en tire audience. After several minutes of applause, the negro pastor was able to continue his address. "In entering upon this reform. which Indicates a departure from the ablts of the past, it might be -well or us to remind you that for forty years there has been a growing dis satisfaction among the thoughtful ne groes of this country at the treatment received from the hands of the Re publican party," eald Corrothers. Mr. Taft, the choice of the Re publicans to carry the standard of that party this coming election, has declared time and again he was prac tically a 'Lily White Republican,' and you know what that means. He has put himself on record as In favor of lm crowlsm' and the 'disfranchise ment of the negro.' 'The Republican party, which you nd I have been blindly following for the last forty years. Is now headed by a man who dictates to the Senate and the House of Representatives and the country at large. This is contrary to the constitution, and L-for one, am going to vote to down hla tool. Wil liam H. Taft. in the furtherance of such dictation. "The action of President Roosevelt In connection with the negro soldiers, and Mr. Taft's unqualified endorse ment of the same, together with the endorsement of the 'Lily White' move ment of the Sjuth, makes it absolute ly Impossible for any negro to eup port either of them without stultify Ing his manhood. It will be argued that no negro can support the Demo crats without sacrificing his honor; but I want to remind ycu that the Democrat Is under no obligation to the negro, nor tne negro under any to him. For forty years w hin K onstratfng we have learned 'to recog-; sVt hlse our rnenas as - - named, i I believe that a. division of ? the negro rote; will aIfor h. resnect of tne pest men ui If!51C .-i .h. south. The RepubU- can eaersannoi T have any. respect for the negro as long as they can use him at will, v Neither can the Demo crat as long aa he knows the negro can be bought and roid. Political In dependence.! more important to the ... thia time than industrial In- negro at this time than Industrial Tfn.'.nf."ninilon there afe mil of rnna white v: people In thle . . .. : - m country, "d u ne w to be a slave to any one political par ty and will exercise his freedom as .man and an American cltlxen In the right direction, the ua orour I." Liu .m- friends for him on all sides - '"'''''- ' ' If the tOO.OW negro voters In. the North. East and West will go 1 the polls on November, Jdndjrote , for William J. Bryan ior President, thus assuring his election, they will admin. Ister a deathblow to tfoutnern dis franchisement and "Jim crowism. "They will not onlr produce a change of sentiment wlUt the rights of the negro of the 8outh. but will teach the Republican admin, lstratlon a lesson "and for ;nnext thousand years afl political parties in h mari recognise tna ne groes are men, that "we are jiot asking favors because we are black, but we are asking Justice-because we are men. , PURITY IN POLITICS. Dr. Corrothers closed his address by saying the Republican party neeaea ome purity In its politics. uv nr. J. Milton waiarou, v dent of the league, was interrupt several times In the early part ,f his address by negro Republicans, woo persisted in asking him questions, and which he said he would answer at the close of hie remarks. nr Waldron began his address by saying the Republican party of to-day i nnt the Renublican party of Lln- (.oin, time, and that the party to-day han no claim on the negro, and tne negro did not owe the Republican nartv anything. He read,what he called tne negroes Indictment of William Howard lan. Theodore RooeeveK and the Republi can party. The reading of the indict ment brought forth round after round of applause, and several times It was mlnutes-before the reading could be resumed. The Indictment, In part. Is as foi lnwitT William H. Taft In Tils Goldsboro speech aid In several other speeches and communications, approves of the disfranchisement of the negro. While William H. Taft Is not re sponsible for the order of President Roosevelt dismissing the negro troops of Brownsville, he has. in numerous Dublic utterances, both as a public of flclal and private cltlsen, approved and defended the President s course n dismissing from the army without trial and without proof of guilt, lT brave, black soldiers. William H. Taft Is pledged to car ry out the Roosevelt policies. "The resident or tne unuea maies s a dictator witn tne power to ca jole, Intimidate, and persuade, by gift of office. Senators, Representatives and Judges to do his will and execute his commands. TOOL OF ROOSEVELT. "William H. TaTt does not possess the courage and manhood required In , President of the United States. If lected, he will be the tool of Theo dore Roosevelt. William H. Taft is not a Christian, He repudiates most of the Bible, de nies the divinity of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, and Is not a fit man to administer the laws of the United States, whose government is founded pon the teachings of the Bible, and would be a reproach and a menace as President of this country to the rights f all Chrlstlnn citizens, be they Pro testants or Catholics." Dr. Waldron closed his address by lalmlng that Senator Joseph Benson Foraker was being slowly politically killed by the Republicans for, daring to oppose King Roosevelt and hie man Friday."
