SIR: When the Independent black
Republicans started n party we
thought IL was for the benefit of tho
race, but we find out now that 1t was
for the benefit OF the Democratic
lparty. The reason why say this is
because we see that the men who were
lin the independent movement arc tho
men who are being rewarded for tho
work they did for tho Democratic
party. 1t was all right for A. w.
Brlnekley, Il. II. Bird or any of the
independent party to he Democrats II
they wanted to lie.
We only blame them for trying TO
deceive Ignorant men by pretending
to them that they were trying to de-
