knowledge the receipt OF your invitation
TO participate in the Democratic jubilee to
be held i'm Richmond tomorrow night.
The notice is so short that it VIII be i'm
possible for me TO attend, but j shall be
with you in spirit then, as was during the
campaign so gloriously ended, and am
sure that nowhere was there more sincere
Joy at Your redemption than in south Car
olina. For eight years or more South
Carolina was subject to 4 tyranny even
more odious than that TO which Virginia
was subjected by Malone and his crew.
We knew, therefore, what you had en-
dured, and we knew also that there was
only one short and sure way to complete
delverance. That way, thank God, you
sought, and you pursued to the end.
Congratulating you once more on a vic
tory which | believe will prove TO be as
wholesome for the cOlored people as it
must be advantageous to the whites, / am,
yours very truly, +. ". DAWSON.

cratic city Committee:
HIr Dear Sir,--I wired you yesterday that
the unexpected death OF fayorite niece

regrets and to thank you for your kind in
yitation.
know the demonstration will be worthy
OF Virginia. OF Richmond, and OF the
splendid victory it commentaries, and my
disappointment is great in not being able
to participate in it.
Our grand old State, rid finally and for
ever OF the curse OF MahoneiSm. will now
enter upon new career OF peace and pros
pcrity, an era OF good feeling between all
elias 'es of people will be inaugurated, and
she will once more resume her position at
the head Of the Democratic column. and
the distinguished leader who organized
and conducted the canvass will be every
where recognized as Virginia's most dis
tiaquiShed son. His services to the State
and TO the National Democracy can never
be forgotten.
With high respect, am, most truly.
