 WASHINGTON, September 2S-A Rich moud telegram to d New York paper has been received ann 'uncing ap- parently by authority that one the most prominent colored men of the country h about to take the stump Tn Virginia in behalf of the straight ont Republicans, and also us a personal representative Oi Mir. Blaine, which prominent cOlored man was supposed to be Fred. Douglass. It created considerable talk among colored people, and after a general dis cusiOn of probabilities they say 1t is canard. Douglass sand to a correspon- dent that the whole thIug was news to him. He could moi be the prominent person referred to. H was as thorough ly in favor of coalition as any one making the campti-a speeches m its behalf. The dispatch referred to spoke of the unnamed apostle of the simon pare Republicans as a close friend of Blaine, and this led Douglass, who Is one of the m st extreme admir- CTS of Roscoe Conklng, to think that n 1t referred te anyone II referred to MT. Langstone, Minister resident and Con- sul-General to Haytl, but JnO. M. Lang stone said the dispatch dld not refer tu him as he was about to go to Virginia to make twelve speeches m the chief cltles and towns ID support of the liberal movement and the coalition candidates. and thought the drspatch must have grown out of the knowledge of the fact that be is about to make speeches ID Virginia and that in 1876 he was an ardent supporter of Blaine. He Is colored man and as a NirginIan, be felt profoundly that one thing was needed m that State. which was broken mp with the old order of things socially and politically. The Mahone movement promIsed to do that and 1t accomplished much in that line. NIT. Matthews, c0lorei business man here, saId that as Bruce was in Mississippi and Douglass and LangstoDe supporting the coalition, be thought the prominent colored man a myth and the dispatch a canard.
