The Kalamazoo Plaindealer is the name of a very newsy little weekly paper which has been started in Kalamazoo in the interests of the colored race. The Plaindealer in its last issue says editorially,

"That it is a benefit to the negro to act independent in politics has been demonstrated on many occasions, and needs no repetition at our hands. In this country and Calhoun these are enough of our people, were they to act independently, to materially change the completion of the returns. Get together, brothers, and assert your manhood. The political boss is worse than the southern Master. Show to the world that you are no longer the despised negro, a but a man - made in the image and likeness of the living God; that you beg no favors from any part, but by the strength of your numbers you demand your rights as American citizens."

The Plaindealer is supporting Judge Durand for Governor.
