Swallowed Nigger
Voted Straight
Ottoman" Tells How Re
publicans in Painters
Branch Precinct, Voted
For Asbury, Under
Party Lash, in 1883.

No, no, brother Fair Play;
Ottoman" has not forgotten the
time the Republicans nominated
a "nigger" to oppose our white
neighbor George Cecil, of the
mountain county of Pike. Though
a kid at the time, "Ditonian"
was at the election the August
election of 1883.
If you will dig down into the
records, YOU viii find that AS
bury, the "nigger" candidate,
fell some twenty votes behind his
colleagues in this precinct (then
Painters Branch Precinct.) /
will tell you how it happened.
Several of the Republicans vot-
ed in the early morning. The
'Nigger" on the ticket put them
guessing what to do about it. The
early morning voters through ma
tive decency, inherited, doubt
less, from Democratic mothers,
scratched Asbury's name. Prob
ably most of the rest would have
done the same, but about nine
o'clock a distinguished Repubi-
can leader galloped up and lit.
Pretty soon he learned what the
voters had been doing. Corrall-
ing the Republicans in a bunch,
he reprimanded those swho had
voted, and directed the balance
of them to "vote 'er straight. I"
Some of them squirmed and look
ed uneasy, but when the political
boss assured them it was their
duty as good Republicans to vote
for their party, they pinned back
their ears and swallowed the
coon.
Fair Play, says, Il know
that the good, honest, thoughtful
Republicans can not be persuad'
ed to,pote for a man of color. y
Well! Some of the Republicans
referred to above were goot
neighbors and honest in theil
dealings, but it didn't take mucl
persuading to bring them across
And if Republicans have under
gone any change in that regard
| have never noticed it. The,
dance just the same to the cracl
of the leaders, whip.

them credit where credit is due
