1t is understood that within FIVE hours AFTER
the nomination of Geo. w. Witherspoon for
Congress, he was offered two thousand dollars to
resign the position. 1t is evident, however that
at present he proposes to stick He made a
speech at Gainesville, Of course, and, according
TO the Bee, he said: " Notwithstanding there was
a movement on foot 10 cause him 10 come Down
in his candidacy for Congress. he meant to re-
main in the field until after the election No
influence could be brought TO bear that would
induce him 10 give up the race; he had secured
the nomination fairly, and 1t was his purpose TO
hold it,"
Many colored voters however, are inclined 10
the opinion that Witherspoon will be forced to
resign, as Il is not the policy Of the white leaders
TO permit colored man TO contest for 90 Iucra-
tive position as Congressman. His course viii
