One of the old -lino guardsmen iu the
hunolo of hU country in the olllcial
promotion of the principles of the Re-,
publican junty is Hen. V. K. Chaud-
lor, who is about to close his eighteenth
year lu tho Untod States teuate, Sen-'
ator Chandler is chief among the few
organizers and promoters of tlio llopub
licun party a party now acknowl
edged to bo tho outgrowth of desperate
conditions at a critical period in tho
history of this republic to Have tho lat
ter fiom political disruption and from
into necino anarchy. J Jo was a leader
among the most determined enemies of
slavery, just iih ho Js today tlio loador
among thoso who stand out boldly in
flofomo of tho Negro and bis rights as
an American citizen. It is understood
that .Senator Chandler will make no
especial ellort for ic-eloctiou to the
senate, although it is conceded by bis
political friends that bo would accept
it if tendered without soriotiH contro
versy. This particular phaso of tho
matter peculiarly interests tho colored
people of the United States who cannot
alford to loso such an ablo champion
and bis influence iu tho great body of
which bo has for yearH been such an
ablo representative.
Novor has occasion arisen for defonpo
of the rights of the Negro and his race
in tho enjoyment of tlio privileges ac
corded thorn by the constitution wbon
.Sentor Chandler was not iu the lead
iu advocacy of tho Interests of tho col
ored raco. Incidents aro numerous in
which his championship of the rights
of our people lias boon prominently,
forceful and suoeosnful.
Tlio Negro cannot afford to loso such
an ablo, true and determined friend.
There is Mttlo doubt that Now I lamp
shiro will demand his rotiirn. It do
Hires it because Senator Chandler has
boon a firm friend and ablo advocate of
every public interest; because bo is a
statesman of uncommon ability and as
incorruptible as over man was made.
Thoroforo, ovory roprosontutiioof tho
colored raco who may exert his inllu-
eui'o in the matter, either directly or
indirectly, should urge the ro-electlon
of .Senator Chandler to his present ex
alted place iu 'the councils of the na

this republic has produced and has for

of tho leading Bplrlttt of tho country.

A MISINFORMED "ALLKGATOIt."
Suppose "Orogoniun" Scott should

under thst dead-letter law, hold any

tuto suit for just claims or do anything

it is onco in a while flauiitod in the

Notwithstanding the fact that Me
