So Oh when the Glorious Stars aud

20 true times are better, but our Condi-
tions are worse. Now do you want my

till next November comes around, waite
until then for another drink and anoth.
or shake hands with a Congressman.
Sure we cannot live on that kind Of fare.
Now little Joke and will come en-,
We have very good president and have
had for years, but some OF US are Just
as VIC we're when He taken his seat
years ago, and II you and don't look
out for ourselves in years hence we
will be still poorer. Now don't get mad
and take my Office from me, first ask me
nay views for writing this letter and
will tell you just what | ment by H.
There has been some talk by some col
arcd man of our District that lie can
Garry the whole Colard vote of our Dis
trict, he will have that TO do this time /
sopose, and that man who said that can
not carry Horse TO water properly. We
are not all so foolish as He might soposo
we are. Mr. Editor, / am not Democrat,
yet ] know that the party we have stood
by have not treated US in party line acor-
ding TO our successful voting. | Know
that we was Born slaves and that was a
blessing to US as we only had one master
until Emancipated and now some of us
has several, first political Boss, second
poverty as a Boss, third Rum steps in as
Chief Boss, and from Mr.. Runs actions
some times seen makes me asshame to
be called Negro. Now Boys let us be
friendly, and each District according to
her faithful Duty receive Justice. The
Republican party do truly know that
the whole family that wrote this peace
have been treated bad and VIC cannot
stand it any longer and you can answer
this peace through the Enterprise If you
choose to do so. Now the trust Com
pany we has one right here, but it do
not trust the Colard voter with weary
much indeed.
Yours truly,
b. WATTS AND BROTHERS.
