Negroes Would Vote for Democrat

Galveston. Texas, May 1l.--A little story
has floated down to the Island City all the
way from Washington that ever since It's
arrival has been the subject of comment by
the politicians of high and low degree. 1t
is to the effect that Congressman Hawley
has attached his name to check for $40
as a subscription to fund to erect
monument to the late q. Wright Quincy.
This of itself is not strange. 1t is gen.
erous response to noble cause, but the
story does not end here. The statement is
made that every man who had to do with
obtaining the contribution Is now an
avowed political enemy of Hawleys and
will do everything in his power to encom-
pass the latter's defeat for reelection. In
fact, one OF them went so far as to say TO
a reporter for The Post that the negroes
are this year going to support free silver
