The Tragedy OF Race.
WASHINGTON Post

washington HOSt.
Several years ago the late President
Mckinley appointed a negro named Henry
Demas as naval officer of the port of New
Orleans" said Mr.. A. T. Benson, OF that
city. "A tremendous fight was made upon
Demas from the instant his nomination
was made public. He was held up TO scorn
as the keeper Of low dive and man of
unsavory antecedents. The fight resulted
in his failure to be confirmed by the United
States Senate. Demas was man of
extraordinary physique and up TO this time
didn't know what sickness meant
His defeat went TO his soul, and in
little while he died. The man actually died
from broken heart. He felt that men
with whom he had been closely associated
and TO whom he had extended great favois
had deserted him when he most needed
friends. His appointment as naval officer
was simply his due from the standpoint of
practical politics, for he was the first dele
gate to the st. Louis convention elected in
Louisiana who came out for Mckinley.
"Demas had a daughter, one OF the
brightest and best educated of her people
in New Orleans She was an applicant for
a position in the mint. and passed a very
high civil-service examination Her end
was as melancholy as her fathers She
failed TO secure place. II is said, by reason
of the hostility OF \. T. Wimberley col
iector or the port, who had formerly been
one of the closest friends OF Dernas. At
all events, she was rejected. and grieved
herself TO death.
