Some Facts About the Politicians Engaged In
Working IL in Georgia.
To THE EplToR or THE sUN--Sir! In my
letter OF the other day on the bugb'ar OF negro
domination did not tell the half that can be
told. did no, tell you that the negro. Ruoker
(who holds otlce as Revenue Collector. by the ap-
pointment Of the President, under indorse-
ment Of Democratic officehoders and Demo
cratic machine" manipulators), has now serv-
ing under him various white men, who pretend
to be stanch Democrats, as deputies ana
special clerks. at the instance OF men who make
the CRY about negro domination and white
supremacy The negro ofIlceholder Ia proud OF
his place. while numerous Democrats do the
office work.
did not tell you that the father-ln-law OF
the late Henry W Grady Il the chief clerk ana
bookkeeper IN the Revenue Collectors Office l
did not tell you that the Atlanta Constitution
is tho special friend Of DR.. King. who Is the

these good white men under him have charge
OF the keeping Of the books and control OF the
patronage Of the office. That is not the point
OF the matter. Why. the negro doesn't "domi-
rate" worth a cent, and he is not supreme"
by a long shot
1t Ia time that all this bosh sh hould be ex-
posed and that the light OF truth should bA let
in on these politicians They pretend TO take
great offence at appointments Of negroes. yet
they make and control the appointments and
have charge OF the offices, They pretend TO
CONT lain about a Republican Administration.
