McKnight, Proprietor. Capthui Rogers, of Mu'ivova says: From what 1 have sueu of tlio colonists in Liberia I beiovu their chances for success are equally ns good as they would ho in the south. It Is true that the African fever, in many cases, renders them Incapable to work for awhile, hut when they ciiine thorong-ly acclimated they find no difficulty in making a living. A propotion of them are prosperous and are hoarding up considerable wealth. Mrs.

LI. B. Mcrriman, a whito missionary, differs materially from Cupt. Rogers and Is bitter In her denudation of the cruel manner In which tlio negro colonists lire treated. Slio said: I have been among tin negroes of tlio south, and I have seen them at their worst.

I have been among the natives of Africa for years ns a missionary, but never have I witnessed such object povety, squa'or and as prvails among the negro colonist In Liberia. It is true that tlio colonization society furnishes them with land to work and keeps them in food for six months from their arrival. But what does it avail them? They are there scarcely a month when they aro stricken down with African fever. Some of them survive it, but in most cases it means death. When those who get well are able to work they find that their allotted time of support by tlio society has expired and they are paupers.

This is not always tlio ease. While not ono has ever yet been known to escape tlio fever, some of them, who poscsses nnusally good constitution, get well and become quite prosperous. To the prosperous tlio paupers look for their Boston Globe. Everybody knows that either tlio Republican or Democratic nominees will he elected that, it v. ill ho either Harrison and Morton or Cleveland and Thurman and that therefore votes cast for Fiske and Brooks cannot possibly affect the result.

Tlio colored citizens of the United States have a sacred duty to discharge in tlio approaching election which overshadows all other duties, namely, to go the polls and cast their ballots for the noiniuces of the party that will he strong enough to win, and that will protect the ballot in the South, protect tlie lives of men, women and children of their race and that will put the seal of condemnation upon the use of tlio shot gun and Winchester rifle at elections in tlio rebel states. Not until the great object in view is accomplished can tlio the freedmen of the United Mates, or their friends stop to monkey with the muchine, or swap horses with tlio Temperance Prohibition, or any other party. Ex. It is not worth while for Democratic friends to get out of humor and sulk. Tim truth is that four years of Democratic experiment has furnished sufficient amusement l'or tlio Amcican people, and they have determined to quit, and return to the virtues in government the Republican party.

0. II. Bently candidate for Senator from the District, is a man who is too widely known to the colored voters of this county to need an introduction, anil as regards his competency there can be no question raised, and if lie is elected, and there is no doubt but what lie will be, he will certainly represent Ids constituents in a creditable manner regardless of color or previous condition of servitude. The nomination of W. S.

Morris for County Attorney wns a very sensible action ou the part of the convention, and he will poll a handsome vote and be elected by a good majority. Mr. Morris has practiced law in this city for some years, and is certainly compe? tent of taking upon his shoulders the duties of tho oflico for which ho has been nominated and discharging them in such a manner as to give general satisfaction. It certainly affords us great pleasure to present to the colored voters of this city anil county the name of W. T.

Buckner another Republican who is entitled to the undivided support of the colored voters of this county in assisting to elect him to the oillce of Probate Judge. Mr. Buckner is a lawyer of ability and there can be no doubt of Lis ability to fill the position creditably for prior to his coming to this city, held tho position of prosecuting attorney in the state of Ohio, anil if there is any anxiety as to his past record, come to us and it will plcaso us to refer any colored voter to colored men ivho were personally acquainted with him long before he came here. Both Sabbath schools were' largely attended last Sunday. For I'roHliUMit.

TJIK 5IAK1C HOMH VKIIY MIAKY STATHMKVTH IM AN AT-TK1IPT TO CUNHl'ItUTIIK O. 1 Tlu John Fisher colored club held ft grand rally ut the market houtie hall Monday evening. This club Haims to he an Independent organization, hat judging from tlio tone of the statements made ly tlui speakers, and tlio way Homo half dozen or less applauded whenever his name was mentioned, It holies its calling, and si truth-fully speaking, a club, if such it may be culled, organized for the purpose of helping to elect Mr. Fisher in tlio hope of cuiming that gentleman to loosen his purse strings and put up a little wherewith. IIow far they liaTe succeeded we can not say, but it safe to any that they have been nt leant partially Hiitislled or two of the members any way, would immediately resign their positions in the club forthey aro active in politics not from a standpoint of principle, but for the ninount of boodle they may get out of it, and if we wore to mention their names the better class of the voters of this city would immediately agree with us.

The meeting was called to order a few minutes after 8 oclock by II. II. Johnson who acted as chairman of tlio evening. The first speaker to take the stand was C. M.

Smith who read a copy of tlio resolutions adopted last Monday night ft week ago, taking good pains however, to leave out such portions us ho thought would not take well with the audience which was about equally divdod between white and blacks. The gentleman then went on to make a few weak statements in a vain attempt to hide the true meaning of the organization and substantiate the actions of the few, and very few at that, who make up this most worthy organization. In Mr. Smith the audience was sadly disappointed, for he has for a long time posed' as a Democrat, has been studying the Mills hill ever since it first appeared in print and lias from time to time promised to spring ins storehouse of Democratic argument and oratory upon tlio voters of Wichita. Tlio next speaker was Mr.

Hubert Hodge who, after a few' statements of minor importance, asserted that lie was a Republican and intended to support every man upon the Rcpubli-can ticket except Mr. Van Ness, and in his stead (Van Ness,) would vote for Fisher. This last statement gave the whole thing away, and showed conclusively that this so-called Independent elub is nothing moro than a hoodie-seeking clique organized for the purpose of trying to Help elect Mr. Fisher, a Democrat, over Mr. Van Ness for Commissioner from the Second District.

Isaac Rogers then took the stand and made some shaky attempts to cesnre the Republicans of this city and county for the defeating of Messers Glover, McAfee, Hanks and Starnes at different times. The further Rogers went, the more damaging to his club bocamo bis remarks. until lie, finally catching the wink frern the chairman, took a tumble to him so to speak, and took his seat, much to the relief of his audience who had long since grown tired of his indigent remarks. Then camo J. J.

Jennings with some futile attempts to smooth over the blunders make by the speakers who preceded liim, doubtless for fear that Mr. Fisher who was present, would become offended and tighten up on his purse strings. The meeting then ajnurncd to meet again on to-morrow night. The step taken by these men is, in our estimation, a foolish one. Never has a Sedgwick county Republican ticket received tne undivided support of the colored voters, and at present there would bo a deputy in the County Clerks office had not the man seeking the appointment concluded just before election, to take boodle instead of the appointment as he expected to leave the city for his home.

The only true step for us to take, is to unite ourselves into one grand united body and support the ticketof the party that has always been the friend of the Negro, and then if we present our claims and select competent men, wo will be duly recognized. The trouble is that there is too much jealousy among our people, and as a natural consequence we are more or loss divided, One of the speakers last Monday night said: In this state there are 10,000 colored voters, and we should have a colored man in our state legislature. True, but can we ever expect to enjoy such representation unless we unite our C. A. VAX ESS FOR COMMISSIONER.

The office of Commissioner being one of more importance than great many of the voters of this county think, wu think that it I well to remind tlit-in of thlH fact and cast their ballots for a fitting man for that position. Mr. Van Ness being an old resident of this city and county, we think that a better man for the position of Commissioner could not he found, and it is to ho hoped that the colored men will remain true to tin party that has been true to them and on next Tuesday go to the polls and cast their ballot for C. A. Van-Ness for Commissioner.

Wlicn colored men come to realize the fact that not only have tlipy got to have the ability, but must work with tlio same zeal and energy us whito men do, then will bo the Republican party and any other party recognized their wortli and give to those the best qualified for them, our share of the public offices. Colored men need no special legislation. The Republican party has made equal to the white man before the law, consequently they need no Civil flights Rill, and if we have any grievianecs, let us ask that justice he meted out to us not as a race, but ns American citizens. We fail to sco any grieviance or grievianecs grave enough to cause any colored man to aililliate with the Democratic party; a party which owes its four years of success to fraud and intimidation of a miilion anil a half of colored voters in the South, and a party which 6ays that the colored man has no rights to expect. To the colored voters wo say beware of tlio Democratic party it is no more than a wolf in sliccp's clothing.

It is far from tin time for colored men to become Democrats, and in our judgement that time will never coiao, unless the head of Democracy (the Milid South) is crushed out of existence. How long will it he before the solid South is broken up? Justus soon as Democacy is once tin-own out of power forever. Tlio colored men of the South are Republicans, and if their hrethem in the North will combine in one grand phalanx, put their shoulder to the progressive wheel of Republicanism and stay there this event ill be brought about much sooner than it ever can lie by colored men training with the Democratic party; Union Labor party; Prohibition party or any other party. Last Saturday at Guthrie, a colored man became infuriated at Ins wife and beat her to death. Upon being pursued by the Sheriff lie grabbed up their little child and fled to the barn yard where he threw it into a pond and drowned it.

When the officers attempted to arrest him he jumped into the pond with intention of drowning himself, but help was called and he was dragged out and locked tip. The feeling ngaint him became so strong that lie was removed to the jail at Springfield, to save him from being lynched' There is not to-day in Sedgwick county a moro efficient bookkeeper than is Mr. C. II. Luling, Republican nominee for clerk of the District Court.

Mr. Luling is a gentleman in every particular, and is hold in the highest esteem by his many friends in Sedgwick county regardless of party lines. Mr. Luling is a staunch Re-publieau and in the late convention was nominated on the first ballot, thus giving ample proof of liis popularity, anil on next Tuesday we hope to see every colored man loncl his support to popular Charley Luling. Now look gut for Democrat Roorbacks.

For the next week the campaign, nationally and locally, will be filled with every conceivlahle class of lies and misrepresentations. The only sure way of not getting sold out is to believe no pretended new developments or claimed new discoveries, especially from a Democratic source. They beat us out of Biaine four years ago by a trick, they nearly lost Garfield the Pacific coast by a trick, and forgeries will be thick for the next week without doubt. When a story is started out too late for -investigation and reflection, set it down as a lie out of whole doth. Ex, J.J.J TIEEE Nos, 544 546 N.
