We have received letter from Mr.. II.
II. Doison, Of Wise, in which he says :
"a prominent Democrat of Norton. Va,
approached a colored school teacher and
asked him to meet Harris, the Democratic
assistant candidate for Congress and see
that he was well taken care Of; and that
for every colored vote he could get for
Harris there could be 80 cents found to
pay for the vote. Aifidavits have been
made to these statements" This shows
how the Democrats are using Harris.

was a good audience.

owe are also of the opinion that under
the present election law, there may be

know all the names necessary to be
scratched in order to make his vote legal

This secret does not deprive him of the
freedom of speech manifested in declara-

FIVE HUNDRED THE FIGURE.
He Says a Telegram Was Shown Him
From Bristol Signed "S' and One
From Richmond Signed y. T. e.

Below we publish letter from J. NJ.
Kicks, q colored man at Washington, ad-
dressed to Mr.. c. c. Lincoln, the District
Chairman of the Republican party. In
the letter Kicks discloses the fact that an
elort was made to induce him to become
an independent Republican candidate in
the Ninth District. He tells further that
he was shown telegram from Bristol with
the initial IS. - signed to it, which was eX-
planned to him to represent James A.,
Stone.
Now this is the same Stone who is said
to have come to Tazewell and expressed
his regrets to a colored man because he
would not consent to become candidate
and tool for the Democratic party. 1t is
the same stone who Is said to have gone
to Pocahontas and induced Thad Harris TO
run for Congress for large sum of money.
1t is the same Stone who is the registrar at
Bristol, Va, and who refused to let the
Republicans see the registration books,
claiming that they were private properly
He seems to be IN important spoke in the
Democratic machine and up to all kinds Of
tricks
Then Kicks says he was SHOWN another
telegram sent from Richmond and signed
81. 7. T." 1t may sound strange, but
these are the initials Of the State Demo-
cratic chairman, J. Taylor Ellyson, who
will he the next candidate Of his party for
Cor.
And this is the way the Democratic ma
chine is trying to defeat General Walker,
sending men and telegrams all over the
country to induce colored men to become
candidates for Congress. 1t appears to us
that Democrats who have any respect for
themselves would he disgusted with such
low politics and the men who engage in
such schemes. Read the letter Of Kicks:
