tion toward the colored voters intlmang that there
was a disposition I'm some way at Washington and
here in NewYork 10 get rid of the coored ONCE
seeker merits some reply from colored Republican,
of those who serve and have served the party Tor
what it has done, rather than for the offices 1t has to
give.
While l do not pretend to deny that there Is dis
satisfaction on the part of some cOlored men, who
worked zealously and for time hopelessly In the
last campaign on account OF the delay which has az
tended the besowal Of patronage. am OF the OPINION
that this delay affects white ofiice-seekers Just as IL
affects black Ones and that the President and the
Federal officials here fully recognize the valuable ser
vice the coorcd people of this state and city rcn
dered i'm the last campaign and determined to re-

first recognized and continued 10 recognize FOR twenty
