GEN. POWELL CLAYTON, of the ma
tional committee, is reported to have
told leading Afro-American news
paper editor who lives in New York,
that the reason there were not more
colored men sent out as spell binders is
that they do not understand the money
question,
The above was clipped from the Col
ored American, published at Washing
ton, d. C., by our old friend, Hon. f.
f. Cooper, one OF the brainest young
colored men in America. We are una
bic to say where he gained this bit OF
information, and we do not believe that
Mr. Cooper would do General Clayton
or any other man an intentional wrong,
but we brand the article as a lie made
out of whole cloth. We have had the
pleasure of knowing General Clayton
from our boyhood days, and during
these many years we have never known
him to discriminate against man on
account of his color or condition, Gen
eral Clayton is one Of those broad
minded, libcral-hcartcd men that would
rather pity than crush the weak. As
the executive head of the New York
bureau, he would as soon assign u col
ored man 10 do campaign work as a
white man. General Clayton is con
sidered, even by his enemies, as one of
the shrcwdest and yet most cautious
campaignc 5 in the whole country, and
to send colored man or a white man
to place where they would be of no
benefit would be foolish thing to do.
Those who know General Clayton best,
know that he doesn't do foolish
things, merely to benefit some tndtvid-
uals, colorcd or white General Clayton
has put in too many hard licks and
spoken too many kind words for the
Negroes to lay any such charge at this
late day at his door Again, we brand
the charge as lie made out of whole
cloth,
