J. OP For JOSEPH C. OP THE DEMOCRATIC WHEN the political contest 1895 came to a close and the Democratic party was ingly defeated in most of we at that time suggested a plan whereby the party could re secure the confidence and affections of the American people which would enable it to become ant at the pol Is. As our readers will remember that the Broad Ax of November 9th, 1895, nominated J. Bryan of Nebraska for President and John P. Jones of Nevada for upon a free silver special privileged to equal and exact justice to every women and and for Later on we dropped the name of Mr. Jones ana substituted that of United States Senator John T. Morgan of In our editorial Star of we urged upon the leaders of the party the necessity of uniting the south and the west m the great struggle which would confront the party in 18 96. Our hints and suggestions were partly adhered to and whan the party leaders assembled in that memorable convention in the great city of in spite of all the combinations our first choice and the man whom we nominated on November 9, 1895, received the Hon.

Joseph C Sibley of who is a classical a thorough and staunch Democrat of the lan who believes in free silver aud who is a friend of the masses or the toiling He is thoroughly conversant with governmental and would make an ideal There have been several ments inaugurated to defeat the of J. but m our opinion it will be im- possible to do and we believe if Mr. Bryan and Mr. Sibley are honored with the nominations and a platform constructed in op- position to the gigantic trusts and expansion and incompetency of the present administration to administer the affairs of the and to grapple with new and construct a platform in favor of free special leges to equal and exact bce to every woman and America for the Ameri SALT LAKE MAY 23, 1899 and the Philippine Islands for the who are entitled to an independent form of gov With a platform embodying these ideas and Bryan and Sibley who are both brave and standing upon it and presenting the issues to the people and ing them if the Democratic party is successful it will not be its purpose to legislate and ad- minister the affairs of the ment in behalf of the favored es and the but it shall be conducted m the interest of the By pursuing this course we feel that the Democratic party will achieve a greater victory in 1900 than it has since the tion of Thomas which will mean a new lease of power unequalled and unexcelled by any political THE executive committee of the Afro-American Council have sued an edict requesting all the ministers ot the various negro denominations to assemble in their various places of worship on June 2nd, and Sunday the 4th, and offer up prayers to God to aid the negroes who are now being so unmercifully persecuted by the white Christians who also pray to the same God to endow them sufficient strength to keep th negro This long address or proclama tion sets forth all the grievances of the negro and closes also invoke the ministers churches of all denominations to crowd their churches at sunrise on June 4th, for special song prayer and remarks in keeping with the either exhortation or relating experiences from such as desire to pray or The pastors of the respective churches shall deliver sermons upon the duty of the hour and urge the best holy lives and a sion of all sinful conduct and that God the Father of mercies may take our deplorable case in his own to those who prayed and piped unto and all the prayers which have been uttered for 1800 years by those who believe in prayers and miracles have not caused their God to compel the to depart from the land or the birthplace of July 2, 1881, President James A. Garfield was shot in ton by and he lingered between life and death for many weeks A short time prior to his death acting President Arthur urged upon the people to assemble m their various places of worship and petition God to spare the life of the wounded But God hearkened not unto their and James A Garfield was snatched from this life into All rational reasoning be- ngs must therefore admit that the gods do not answer prayers and do not interfere in the affairs of No one entertains any greater respect for those who believe in praying than But the negro must not expect to have his wrongs righted by fasting and but he must rely on his own strong arm to accomplish that For it has been said by those of olden times that ever would be free must strike the first We will only cite two instances to demonstrate the of The immediate sor of Mahomet marched at the bead of his army which overran Syria and Asia Minor and ic arrived at the gates of salem all the Christians marched out against him fully expecting to retard his onward march by shouting and But such was not the The gates and the walls surrounding the city of Jerusalem were battered down Mahomet and his the churches were the of Jesus was lis cross was carried away with of laughter and sold as priceless But amid all these who is supposed to answer prayers at all sat still and motionless n the heavens and did not raise as finger against Mahomet and us His ears were sealed DRUNK AS A LORD Major Dick Young has offended a local blackguard by referring to colored people as This says the is done by uncultured there are negroes and The negro is a type of the black nigger is a sort of a missing who sets himself up as a critic of white men and a judge of the morals of white while he lacks the common decency and politeness of the The nigger is a rape fiend down south aud when he comes north he abuses white folks in some other The negro is all The nigger is the only good excuse for we ever Lake The editor of the Herald has become very wrothy because we have classed him with the tured and after endeavoring to hide his manly and cowardly form behind the coat tails of the Hon R. W. he goes on to say that the is a sort of missing link who sets himself up as a critic of white men and a judge of the morals of white Whoever thought that the editor of the Herald would fall so and his fall is proof positive to us that he is a thorough and complete product of the poor white By his process of reasoning he would like to com- monize all the For ex- several months ago a negro and a white woman were arrested n Ga for unlawfully iving But the editor of he Herald would deny the right of negro if he rom referring to this incident upon the ground that the woman is fit subject to mingle with the best simply because she pens to possess a white The same chain of reasoning which he uses would prevent negro editors from referring to Miss Polly Smith who is engaged in business on Com- street in this But this shows that the editor of the Herald has become so steeped in race that he is unwilling to separate the moral from the immoral and that it is his desire to place all the members of his race on the same level or It has been our pleasure to be presented to Mrs. Grover Mrs. W. J. Mrs. Potter Palmer and Mrs. A. S. Trade of and hundreds of class and we feel confident that none of those whom we have met would sustain the position which the editor of the Herald has assumed These ladies would not want to be placed on the same level with immoral But the genial editor of the Herald thinks that all whites look and act alike to and that no negro upstart should be permitted to criticise those who do not measure up to the proper standard of ity and Many of the very best white ladies of thia city and state have without hesitation expressed their unqualified and highest al of the course which the Broad Ax has pursued in ing true and noble womanhood and at the same time they have ex- pressed their disapproval of the editor of the Herald for being un- able to distinguish a true lady from one who has become The gentlemanly and tured editor of the Herald has now become as drunk as a lord on the race problem and refers to us as a It is indeed very singular but nevertheless true that whenever any editor becomes a blackguard he invariably vors to spread his blackguardism over and we know of one such editor in He likens us unto the rape fiend for no other reason than that we have dared to refer to the undisputable fact that over two thousand white gentlemen of the leaders of swell society are constantly en- gaged in sustaining unlawful tions with negro But he no doubt would be perfectly ing to assist to mob end lynch us for referring to this He would be willing to help to burn us at the stake for criticising white gentlemen who paint their faces black and commit outrages upon their own females aud then cast the odium upon the If we are to be dubbed a rape fiend for re- ferring to these facts well and But what shall we call the white scoundrels and who have become so debased and degraded as to commit such ZANE ATTORNEYS Deseret National Bank Bldg.
