This is from the pen of Henry

oftan love to quote--when it

A fact has leaked out that will lie
a disagreeable surprise to many
people who are supporting Col
Bradley for Governor, aud may as
tonish some Of the Republican
leaders. There are other prom
inent Republicans, however, who
will not be surprised, but will be-
much annoyed by the news that
their scheme has become public,
as its success depended upnn
Excepting it dark Ind ed, ii is II
dark subject.
After the Republican state con
vention in Louisville there was con,
siderable comment about the .urn
ing down ofthe colored Republican
leaders who had endevored to have
one of their race placed upon the
ticket. The fact that they were APP
parently ignored caused less com
ment, however, than did the com.
plete acquiescence of the ambitious
colored politicians. 1t now devel-
opes that this apparent satisfaction
was brought about by nothing less
than promise on the part of the
Republican managers to divide all
clerkship and appointments with
the negroes.
The agreement is said to have
been made at a secret conference
between Col. Bradley's personal
representatives and the committee
of colored citizens who attended
the State convention and demand
ed recognition in the makeup Of
the ticket. They we're also told
that if they would not insist
on having a place on the ticket,
and would make no row about it,
they would be given half the clerk
ship at Frankfort and halt the APP
pointments to be made by the Gov.
ernor, in consideration Of the fact
that half the Republican votes in
Kentucky are furnished by the col
ored citizens at every election.
This proposition struck the COM
mittee favorably, and after vowing
their secrecy as TO the TholA mat
ter the conference ended, The
colored leaders lived up to their
part Of the contract, making nc
further attempt to get a place on
the ticket, and made no protest
after the convention adjourned
Unfortunately, however, it looked
like such a good thing that the ne
groes could not keep from talking,

Our friends, the enemy, are all
torn up oyer the premature disclos-
ure OF enc Of their campaign plans
So long as there was no possible
show for the election of their tick
ct, State, county, or municipal, they
were entirely willing to put up a
negro as a candidate. This made a
fine display Of their love for the
man and brother, and answered
well as a sop to the hungry colored
voter. But times change, and men
change with them. Tho Republic
cans fancy they see a CLEAN OF
light, ray Of hope, in the present
political outlook. A few counties
in Kentucky went against us last
fall, Tom Petit is trying to split
the old party with Populist wedge
driven by free silver maui, and
this gives a faint promise OF defeat
next November. This, surely, was
tie time OF all times for the party
protesting free and unlimited love
for the negro to give him place
on the State ticket. Or, failing to
make him so prominent, at least
let him run for the Legislature in
Jefferson county, county, accord
ing to Republican opinion, sure to
go forninst the Democracy at The
next election. Not much. Brer
Bradley said no, and what he say
goes. Then the howl came, and il
was heard from the Sandy to the
Mississippi. The situation was
serious. Boiling and boycotiing
were threatened. Something had
to be done, or all the windy rnetor-
ic of the Boss would he as sound
ing brass. Well, something has
been done, and the dusky cohorts,
the saddle-hued allies of Republi.
canism have been placated. 1t is
this plan, the untimely disclosure
Of which, has so torn up the lead
ers Of our friends the enemy. The
plan was rich in promises, but the
results will be what modern wri
ter so aptly calls id barren
idealit,. 1t was simply this: If
ah, woeful "if"-if Bradley is elect
ed there is to be an equal division
Of the clerkships and other APP
pointive Offices at Frankfort. A
prominen. Louisville negro is slat-
ed for warden of the penitentiary,
and Frankfort gentleman ofcolor
is to be chief clerk in the Auditors
Office. This is the proposed deal,
and its exposure has stirred up the
Republicans greatly. They realize
that they are between two diem.
mas, and some choose 20 make a
| fiat denial Of the statement. The
Republicans at Frankfort are es.
pecially stirred up, and while deny
ing that Lane and Ward, the two
negroes referred to, are to be so re-
warded they admit that conferences
have been held and promises made
