pressed with the Alliance members OF the
House from Kansas In conversation with
The TINES correspondent this member said:
.f"Ihese Northern Alliance men have no sort
Of comprehension Of the negro question and
Of its importance in our section. They look
upon the vote of negro as of as much value
as that Of white man. In fact their notion
is that the only difference is IN the color: that
It's just tho difference between q white horse
and black one"
MIR. SIMPSON TALKS.
Your correspondent net Hon. Jorry Simp-
son. OF Kansas. soon after the conversation
above quoted. Mr. Simpson was selected by
President Polk Of the Alliance, To- CANVASS
the Southern States. and Is or ought 20 be.
well qualified TO speak i.r his party on the
race question.
our party ho said. regards the negro
rs man entitled to AL the rights aud pr.yi-
leges OF any other citizen. Ne think no
makes mistake IN adhering 20 tie kepub-
lcsn party blindly as q sort OF tradltonary
obligation We think be should be governed
in political action by his convictions and
interest and not by prejudice. and that his
interests would be best promoted by uniting
with our party We shall appeal TO the negro
for his support on the ground of sound
reason. and as We said. in behalf of tho pro
motion of his own intesests."
But will you seek 20 obtain the negro vote
in any manner tending to consolidate against
the whites asked your correspondent.
I'VE shall appeal 80 whites and blacks for
support and shall not. of course. reject re-
cruits from either. We hope 20 obtain sup
port from both races. but If we can divide
the negro vote we believe that would open
the way TO breaking the solid South.

attacks Of indigestion which are becoming
so frequent, to-day. lie attended the Cab-
net meeting and during its session the attack

awhile be said he felt well enough 10 drive
home His friends are claiming that to-days

with which they come seems 10 argue the
contrary. 1t is a general opinion that Secre-
