An esteemed contemporary, says the
New York Sun, publishes n imag'n-
alive dispatch from Washington about
President Arthur's plans. The autho
of this dispatch seems to be very deep
indeed in the Presidents counsels. 1t
appears that the proposed convention OF
colored men, which Richard I. Greener
opposes with so much ability, is part
Of a scheme for nominating Mr.. Arthur.
Frederick Douglass is making great
efforts TO impress upon the colored vot-
era the necessity Of holding such a con-
vention. but we are told that in doing
80 he is working for the interests OF
Mr.. Arthur, who is determined to get
the colored vote.
A National Convention OF colored
men is to be held next year. The date
ia to be some time before the meeting OF
the Republican National Convention.
The place il to be Sin some doubtful
State" As there are . good many
States which seem doubtful to the Re
publicans, this statement is not as definite
geographically as could be wished. How
ever. some time in 1854, and somewhere
in the United States. the convention is
to be held. A big boom for Arthur Is
to be organized. Most Of the colored
voters come from Democratic States,
but in the Republican National Con-
vention, for which the National Conven
ton Of colored voters is to be .
preparation, the Democratic States
will be very useful. Mr.. Arthur will
control the colored Republican vote in
the South by means Of the Colored Con
ycntion, and the white Republican vote
in the same States by means OF the
Offices. In this way, if we may credit
the romantic tale, he is finally to be
nominated.
1t is a very pretty story, but it lacks
probability. We do not believe that
President Arthur wants a second term.
But if he did want it, he would know
better than to depend upon the votes OF
delegates from Democratic States for his
nomination. Gen. Grant had a good
many such delegates at Chicago, and
their votes merely served to affect the
geographical distribution of certain
medals. Arthur is not that sort OF a
