institution in that state. Vernon's father
was Tennessee slave and is still living

Then he started the college in Kan

Stubbs Furnishes Vernon.
Vernon was the undisputed leader OF
his race in Kansas and the west He
is admitted to be about the best negro
orator and stump speaker in the coun-
try.
After coming to Washington he did
not keep in touch with Kansas affairs
as thoroughly as, he would have done
had he remained. although he did not
give up the presidency of the college.
He was friendly to Senator Curtis, ex-
Senator Long and the regular faction
of Kansas.
Because he did not support Governor
Stubbs' campaign for reelection this
year feeling developed against Yer
non. Owing to the prospect of fur
ther dissatisfaction, Vernon decided to
give up his position in Washington
and return to his university.
When this became known the President
reached the determination to appoint
Napier as register. and offered him the
place. But Gov. Stubbs stood in the
way of Vernon and prevented his return
to the university. This and the selec-
ton OF Napier by the President left the
register without position.
