ADDRESS TO coLoRED VOTERS.
They Will, 1t Says, Almost IMAM
imously Support Mckinley.

New York, Oct. 29.-The National Re-
publican annex composed of leading Afro
Americans of this and other cities, issued
an address this afternoon to the colorcd
voters throughout the country.
The address says that the colored voters
all over the country, with few exceptions,
propose. as never before. to stand solidly
for the st. Louis platform and by the
standard bearers of the Republican party,
William Mckinley, of Ohio, and Garrett A..
Hobart, of New Jersey, for they believe that
in the election OF these men there shall
be peace and prosperity to the country.
The colored people of this country rccog-
nize the fact that the Republican, party is
their natural political home and that while
there are some things in its management
that is not pleasant to them. nevertheless
they believe that the Republican party is
more faithful to their interest ana more
liberal in its dealings with them, and .hat
the prosperity and bettcrment OF The race
can be better served by alliance with Re
publicans than any other political organ
iZation in this country.

Assistant District Attorney Tracey l..
Jefforos, III looking over an old file OF let
lers yesterday, came across one written
him by Major Mckinley, dated November
3, 1891, in which he states exactly his
position on the money question.
In the fall of 1891 Major Mckinley ran
for governor OF Ohio against Gen. Camp
bell, who was nominated on free silver
platform, the convention at that time de-
ciaring strongly for the white metal.
The issue Oh the financial question lIieh
was the same as today, and Major NC
Kinley won with an overwhelming ma
jorIty.
1he letter found by Mr.. Jeffords was in
answer to one of congratulation on Major
Mcklnley's victory, and is as fellows:
