Intelligent Oolored Men Leaving lho
Party.
Spsesag Correspondence Of the REGISTER.
CHARLES Town, JEFFERSON Co.,
August 20, 1892.
The Republican convention held here
to-day was the worst fzZl1 OF any
which has yet befallen the Force Bill
party. There were not over a half
dozen white people present outside OF
the postmasterS, the better element OF
the party having become disguised, and
now studiously absent themselves. The
party has dwindled down TO the office
holders and the negroes, and as mat
ter Of fact the better class OF colored
people are leaving it, and are daily an
nouncing their intention TO vote the
Democratic ticket at the coming eRc-
ton.
Four years ago the Republican or
sanitation was 10 good shape, and as a
result the Republican vote was run up
10 nearly twelve hundred, bat good
judges estimate great falling of this
fall. The Office holders have insisted
on running the conventions and hence
the rank and file have become alienated
and there is practically no organization
in the county. As an evidence OF the
desperation existing in the party
the Office holders to-day put
negro on the ticket and
when questioned as 10 the OBJECT they
replied that having lost about all their
white vote, it became necessary to do
something in order TO save the cOlored
uoftar a CNlnrad Qnhnpl
teacher from Harper's Ferry, was nomi-
mated for the House of Delegates over
a white man, j. c. Tabler of Duffield's.
In explaining their votes, some Of the
Republicans say they voted for Hatter's
nomination because he is in every way
better qualified than Tabler for the
place.
One Republican who was spoken to on
the subject replied that the ticket was
"loaded-a postmaster at one end and a
negro at the other" 1t is already
stated that there will be general "de-
clining" in a few days, for while the
Republicans like very well to have the
colored vote, none OF them wish to vote
the ticket with them.
The Democracy OF this county were
never so enthusiastic as they are now,
and good judges are estimating the
Democratic majority in the county this
fall as high as eighteen hundred. There
does not seem to be any reason why this
prediction cannot be verified. Wilson
is stronger than he ever was, and is
sure TO receive many Republican votes
In the county, while Cleveland is strong
in proportion.
