THE OOLORED VOTE.
form the sedaIia Democrst ,


The subjoined letter appeared in the
Gate City Press, an organ OF the colored
men of Missouri, published in Kansas
City, and was written by Wallace Dix
on, q son Of Solomon Dixon, colored, OF
this city.
1t will be recollected that Mr.. Solo,
mon Dixon, In the last Sedalia municip-
al election, resolved to act as a free and
independent voter, and sustained the
Democratic ticket. He was roundIy
abused therefor by certain republican
leaders of this city. His son Wallace, q
graduate of Lincoln Institute and a
teacher at Warrensburg. thereupon
wrote his father a private letter warmly
congratulating him upon the independ-
ent stand he had taken. The father
tool the liberty OF handing the letter to
the Democrat, and it was given to the
public.
Will Hayes, a colored barber of War.
rensburg, replied 20 Wallace Dixon's
letter through the Gate City Press.
Quite a correspondence has followed.
The character OF Hays assault on
Dixon will be readily inferred from the
latter's annexed reply. 1t .abounded in
those mean and false things said of the
democracy before there ere any intelli-
gent colored men like Wallace Dixon
to detect their untruth. He states the
democratic position tairly-that the
democracy recognize the acquired
rights OF colored men and will do jus.
tlce by them, whether they vote the
democratic ticket or not.
The following is Wallace Dixon's
letter:
Editor Gate City Press:
l see Mr.. Hays failed to come to the
point, whether he Is censuring me fol
writing a letter to my father or citing
the republican party to the cities which
the democrats captured with negro votes
or hauling father over the Goals through
me tor supporting the democratic ticket
in the late city election. II MI. Hay.

We admit that Lincoln Institute was
founded by republicans-not whites en-.
tlrely, but by the Sixty-ifth colored
regiment. How long did a ten thousand
dollar debt hang yer Lincoln Institute
when the republicans could have lifted
it Did not the democrats take the
Institute and place 1t on a footing with
the other Normal institutions 2 Have
not the democrats during the past i've
years increased its appropriations ?
Within the ensuing school year Lincoln
Institute will have . thousand dollar ap.
psratus. Who did this?
The democrats do not want our vote
in this states They are in the ascen.
dencY.. sixty thousand.S They eau do
wtkoIs our vote. They do these kind
aG2Gbecauss 4 = right.
fSrhapsMr. Hayes il not aware that
.Oberlln College was founded by Free
Soil democrats. Why did he not 60
back to see who founded Yale and Har.
ward colleges But to the original
point. q
I am aware Of the fact that the color
sd people are instinctlvely republicans;
but the time has passed when the intel.
ligent portion of the colored vote can be
used BY either party except for moral
political and financial ascendency.
The import OF my first letter was that
,colored people should use the franchise
for the benefit of the race, locally and
nationally. The sooner the colored whip
the republican party into common
and q fair recognition OF the race, the
better.
The colored. voters OF Chicago. Gin
.cinnati, Lawrence and many other cit
les, have taught the republicans the les
los OF q fair division OF the l0aves and
fishes. But If the colored vote of Mis-
souri,, or of.any other state, is ignorant
enough 10 be controlled and shaped by
the dictation of Mr.. Hays, they would
continue to hold Insignificant positions.
The Germans, the Irish, and all the
other nationalities, divide their votes as
their political promotion and general
elevation dictate. The white vote OF
the United States is divided into Repub-
lican, democratic, greenbackers, etc.
We have stood by the republican par
ty long enough to be q tool.
Kansas City, with her colored vote,
elected q republican mayor. What has
been given the colored votersf There Is
q class OF ignorant politicians who seem
to think q colored man is seeking his
own damnatlon when he votes any 9TH
er than the republican ticket. Lunatic
ssylums are waiting for all such.
Why don't the republican party con-
tinue in their kindnessp We sent col
ored men from the south to congress du.
dug the time we were In the ascenden-
cy, but as We have lost We should not
expect to see q negro representatives 10
con gfess unless he is q democrat. All
white men are hiased toward the negro.
If q negsois put in Office, it is by the
colored vote. w. H. DIXON.
