LEAvENwoRTH, April %, 1880.
EIIToRs HERALD OF KANSAS:
/ am informed that an advantage
was taken Of my absence from the
Colored State Convection, by two
illustrious divines, who made it
convenient to misrepresent me
when the following resolution was
being considered:
"Resolved, That we have not been
unmindful that the claims of 25000
colored people were ignored i'll the
late State Convention, when a worthy
colored man was presented to that
gate to the National Convention"
They were not satisfied with try
ing to put me in false position be-
fore the public, but they even went
so far as to fnsinuate that there was
something wrong connected with
my candidacy; or that I had sold
out.
Now, for the benefit of the public
who are a little curious TO know the
zeal facts Of my candidacy, l will
inform them as briefly as possible,
which is as follows; | went to the
Convention as a candidate. not as q
delegate. After my friends and |
had canvassed every inch of the
ground, we found that it was posi-
BILE to elect me as delegate to the
National Convention upon one con-
tingency only, and that was, proVid-
ing the majority did not adopta rule
to select three delegates from each
Congressional District, and one from
at large which were ten, the whole
number. Unfortunately for me, as
well as for the minority, contrary to
the call. rule was adopted appor-
tioning three delegates 10 each dis
trict, and only one from at large.
This separated me from many friends
who lives in the Second and Third
Districts, who desired an opportu-
nifty to vote for me and confined my
canvass mainly to the caucus of the
First District. Now, then, when the
caucus of the First District had as
sembled my name was well and ably
presented before it for delegate by
Mr.. McCabe, of Graham county, and
seconded by Hon. James Legate, OF
Leavenworth. There were several
white men from Leavenworth can
didates, together with a number OF
others from the northwest, which
did not enhance my chances very
much. However, | received more
votes than any of them, save Mr..
Hutchinson. who wsc elected.

Der Of votes next TO that of Mr..

AS many of our readers probably
hive never read, we reprint below,
aEcopy Of what is supposed to be the
death warrant of our Saviour:
SENTENCE
Rendered by Pontius Pilate. Acting
Governor of Lower Galiilee, that
Jesus of Nazarath shall suffer death
on the Cross
In the yetr seventeen ofthe empire
of Tiberius, Cesar. and on the fourth
day Of March, the city of the Holy
Jerusalem Aneas AMI Caiaphas
being priests, sacriicers of the peo-
pie Of God, I, Pontius PLATE, Gov
enor of the pratory, condemn Jesus
OF Nazareth to die on The Cross be-
tween two thieves-the great noto-
rious evidence of the people saying !:
l. He is a seducer.

3. He is the enemy OF the law

OF God.
5. He calls himself Hing OF Israel.

ton of his alternate. I then and
there refused it, and went down
stairs, where I found a number of
gentlemen; while in Conversation
with them, some one, | know not
who, informed me that had been
put en- as an alternate. About that
time some hot-headed, irconslde rate,
AMI unreasonable fellow, who I did
not know, insisted that I should
have my name presented again to
the convention at night I told him
no, | would not allow my name to be
used again for the following good
reascnsH
l. That had been defeated for the
nomination in the caucus of my dis
trict. 2. That the majority had
agreed to ratify the nominations Of
ihe different district caucuses. 3.
That those who would be sent AS
delegates to the National Conyen-
ton, their names, and theirs only,
would be presented to the conven-
tion in the form of resolution for
election, which was done.
Now, to have elected any one else
other than those who had been regu-
larly nominated in the caucuses
would be to change Or undo what
had been done in the district eau
Gus, which would have established a
precedent to reverse what had been
done in all the districts, which wa g
simply an imposslbility.
Most any one knows that if the
convention had not adopted such a
rule for the election Of delegates,
but had selected four from at large
and two from each representative
district, that 1 would have been
elected, by presenting my name tc
the convention proper, but did no
have that opportunity, hence l say
the criticism Ireteived for acting a
| did was unjust and uncalled for
So far az there being something
"wrong" or that l sold out, I have
this to say: no act of mine whllt
there striving for little recogni
ton will reflect disgrace on any
young man, but would be credit tC
few ripper years. 1 did not sci
myself out nor did [ sell or attempt
to sell any one else out; any one, bC
be layman, preacher, priest or ;
saint. who accuses me Of such, is no
only guilty OF misrepreseDting me
but they are guilty of grossly mis-
representing the truth; and | chal
lenge them to substaatlate their vilt
accusations, or they must retrac
them.
In conclusion want to say that

malicious attempt to injure youni
man before the public.

people on earth. Now, the next
question is, where and with whom.
do they spend their money? OF
course with the white people. Now
do not object to any Of our people
spending their money among our
white friends, but l do object, and
also think it a burning shame to
see our people so very particular
about spending their money with a
white man, when the same article
just 90 good and Just as cheap can be
obtained Of a colored man, nearer by

ferent our people are IN this respect
from thas OF the Iris hman, or a Ger
man, who will go quarter of a mile
to leave dime with their own ma
tionality, but colored man, how
strange, will 60 half mile cut OF
his way to leave his dime with some
other nationality, other than his own
That is wrong. If we desire to re-
deem ourselves from the curse iH-
ficted upon US by that cruel system

our children in the future, we mus
call a halt upon such doings. l will
