is offering a challenge that be can

At the negro convention in. Ral
eigh Wednesday night where they
assembled to protest" that more
cffiiea shall be shared by the colored
i
men who seem, like a good many
white people of late, to thinfc that
people .voie to . be rewarded with
office rather than good government,
there was such a diversity of opin
ion and such bitterness toward each
other that there was a knocking
down and dragging out. After some
sich expsriencr the meeting went
on to declare for recognition to the
Republican negro; no vote for a man
not a friend to the negro; for

Wonder if our good Republicans
among the whites can not afford to

and the money issue rather than
swallow the whole dose necessary to
consistent equaliz ition with . the race
with whom we are not ready yet to
assimilate.
