WASHINGTON, Feb. 28-Represen-

written card tor publication in which
he explains that part Of his testimony
before the Senate committee on privi-
leges and elections, in which he stated
that he did not advocate social inter-
course between the races that colored
members of the Virginia Legislature
came to his house TO consult him, but
they always came to see him In his kitch.
en-. He says:
"Mr. Sherman asked me If the ne.
groes demand social equality in Virginia.
| replied that they neither demanded
nor expected it ; that the colored people
we're, in my opinion, the gsntlest, most
atfectionate, aud least Obtrusive race on
earth that the social conditions were
we'll understood, and they were con-
tent with them For example, said l 3
colored member Of the Legislature had
come to my house to see me about poll
tics and gone to the kitchen, where
went to see him and talked with him.
The person referred to was one whose
mother was in my employ. l merely
mentioned this to show that the cOlored
people in such positions were less ex
acting of such recognition than white
persons similarly situated would pro-
