Mr. j. " Lanman:
DEAR SIR:-Yours OF 9th instant, as
we'll as copy Of your paper, received, for
which have my thanks. In this county
there are only FIVE or six colored voters,
and Unfortunately they are all pro-
nounced Republicans. 1t would be
quite out OF the question, in my judg-
ment, TO induce any OF them to 20 to
your conference They are just OF such
character and 80 situated that they can
not be influenced ut the present in the
wise direction you propose. Their num-
bers are so insignificant, however that
it can make but small difference. wish
your project all possible success.
Very truly, etc,
JOHN 4. DoNElIoo.

SIR:-Yours OF the Goth ultimo has
been received. In reply, ] will say that
! will do all / can to work up the pro-
posed delegation mentioned in your
letter. We have only about thirty.six
colored voters in this county and they
are domiclled within eight miles Of one
another. Heretofore they have in state
and national politics voted unmolested
with one or two exceptions the straight
Republican ticket. One or two have
voluntarily voted the Democratic ticket.
l believe II you could send a good
speaker here, who is well informed,
that decided change can be made. II
you cannot do that send papers and
documents. / give you the names OF
several colored voters on the other side
OF this sheet
l will see as many as can, and will
in few days send you a name for one
OF your committees. am satisfied that
now at this time this vote could be
handled by one of your speakers.
With my best wishes for your success,
l am yours respectfully,

always been Democrat. The other

1t would be good thing il you could
give Whiting or Alexander some
position in the conference. Place them
on a committee OF some kind. They are
two OF the most influential coLored men
VIC have here. Thurston is a smart
fellow, but he is all right, and the other
two will be, il managed right, Thurston
is a good speaker. AS soon as some

apart enough to comply with your re-
quest. They will reach your city Tues.

There were other gentlemen high in
the management OF the Democratic
party engaged in this outrageous deal
for the colored vote.
The above letters are sufficient to
show the reader that the voluntary
move OF the "Colored Independents"
was heartily aided by the Democratic
campaign managers. The exposure
shows Just how desperate is the case Of
the West Virginia Democracy. The
colored vote in the state is between
5000 and 1000. 1t is stake worth
playing for, particularly to party
whose grasp is weakening. Heretofore
tho Democrats had not considered it
necessary to play Tor the colored vote.
In 1883 they were doing it with high
hand. They went, however, to the
wrong market, The great mass Of color
cd voters in this state not being for sale,
Mr.. Lanman was unable TO deliver the
goods.
