VETERANS FOR GENERAL MILES.
A New York Voter Commands General
Miles and Condemns the BombaSIIc
Roosevelt. Who Compelled Soldiers to
Fight at the Point of His Pepgun.

To the Editor:-GeReral Nelson A.
Miles, v HON you put forward recently
as q probable and pessisle candidate
for the Vice Presidency. would if nom
mated On the ticket with Major Me
KIniry next June, capture the votes OF
every old veteran of the Civil War,
aud OF every Negro regular and velun-
teer who serv5i under him ia the late
war. General Miles, res pect for the
Negro soldier, bis esnfidence in their
capabilities and his admiration OF tbeir
courage and bravery in battle, have
won for him undying respect al d con
fidenes of the black men who wear the
Dlue and who gladly followed where he
led
The difference between Col. Roose-
vels. who Is repeatedly declining a
nomination which has never been Of
fered him, and Gen. Miles, is that Col.
Roosevelt believes that Negro soldiers
will only fight at the point Of navy re-
v0lveIs in the hands of their white
officers, while Gen. Miles believes that
in point Of couraee e, discipline, skill as
6ghters ana staying qualities they diff
fer In no essentisl from white troops,
and are net towards, but are in many
respects superior TO white troops.
No one will for s!ngle moment har-
Dor the thought that the Negro troops
in the spanish-AIaerican War, We're
not superior in courage and daring In
battle to the cowardiy 7lst New York
or that they did not prove themselves
superior as tacticlans Ia the fearful
charge up San Juan bill whtn they
skilfully prevented the Spanisrds frem
ambusbing. and annihilating the ever
rated and bembastic Re ugh Riders led
by Col. Roosevelt.
When the true history OF tina famous
charge will have been written, it will be
found that the real and only heroes
worthy to be mentioned in that days
fight, are the black soldiers whom Col.
Reoseyelt beastingly claims he drove
into battle at the point of his revolver.
General Miles can get the Negre SOL
dier vote and the votes OF great many
ethers of that race If he is nominated
for Vice President. But I am not so
sure that the military governor Of New
York has fastened the black brother to
him with hooks Of steel.

come Tax Plank.
A dispatch from Indianapolis last night
says: Mr. Samuel E. Morss Indiana mem
her of the resolutions committee of the
democratic national convention, in a signed
interview, makes the following explanation
of how there came TO be no income tax
plank in the democratic national platform
He says:
THE platform adopted by the commit
tee on resolutions of the Kansas City
convention, contained a declaration in ia
vor of the adoption of a constitutional
amendment authorizing an income tax and
providing for the election of United States
senators by the people. No objection was
made to this resolution, and l am con-
WINGED that the omission of the reference
to the income tax was the result of an
oversight, due to the haste with which
the subcommittee was obliged to act to
put the platform as unanimously agreed
upon in such shape to be submitted to
the convention. The idea that the declara-
ton for the income tax was purposely
omitted by the subcommittee out of defer
ence for Senator Hill or any other person
is Drepostcrous.
when Senator Tillman had nearly fin
ished reading the platform, some of the
Indiana delegation said to me that moth
ing had been read about the income tax.
l said to them that the platform
agreed upon by the committee contained
if it had been omitted 1t was due to over
sight either by Senator Tillman in read
ing or by the copyist VINO had transcribed
the document. l went to the Illinois
delegation and asked Mayor Harrison of
Chicago who was the Illinois member of
the committee. if he had noted the omis-
sion. He sad he had not.
Il was about to go to the platform to
call attention to the matter when Mayor
Harrison called to him and said that
Mr.. Abbott told him that the income tax
declaration had been read by Senator
Tllman. Unless Mr.. Abbott's ears deceived
him it was read d the omission occurred
by accident in the copies furnished to the
press. | have no doubt that Mr.. Bryan
will define his position and that of his
party on this subject in his letter of ac-
ceptance. Mr.. Bryan has long been an adj
vccate of the income tax. and the demo-
cratic party of the country is united in ad-
vocating it
Campau rendered the Championship.
Daniel ]. Campau returned to Detroit
from Chicago yesterday.
In an interview yesterday afternoon he
said that the democratic national commit
tee had asked him to accept the chairman
ship of the democratic national campaign
committee. and upon his declining the offer.
had refused to accept the declnation and
asked him to take the matter under advise
ment. Mr.. Campau said he would go to
Chicago again soon and give the committee
a final answer.
