NORFOLK LETTER.
NORFOLK, Va, May %, 1890.

NORFOLK, Va, May 2S, 1890.
The election of municipal officers
took place here on Thursday last
which was one, if not the quietest
elections that ever took place here:
little if any interest being manifested
in the same, owing to the fact that
there was but one ticket in the field
and that a democratic one. The
republican managers having turned
the entire city over to them, both
root and branch even the 4th Ward
with her 1900 republican voters to
200 democrats. The managers
thought it not wise for her and her
black voters to nominate a council
ticket and refused to grant request
signed by 10 of the wards most infiu-
entail freeholders and voters to call
meeting for the same, namely;
Henry j. Jones, j. j. Frazier, Jas. p.
Carter, VIM. r. Thorogood, Jos. f.
Freeman, Louis Portlock, Thos. Tel
mer, Nicholas Langley, Geo. w.
Ramsey and JAS. N. Jones. Their
request being refused mass meeting
was duly called, at which meeting
the following council ticket was nom
mated; Lewis Dawley, Henry James,
II. j. Jones, Dennis Nichols, Louis
III. Portlock and David Terrebee to
whom the election returns credit
on an average of 20 votes to the
democratic candidates 800, thus the
only Representatives the Negro ever
had in the city government and
those merely honorary; are deprived
and of that at the hands of the party
in the Negroes behalf.
The candidates have the honor of
being Observation-Disclosures against heavy
odds that elected slaves.
