Dantzler receive 1 but 167 votes. Few even knew that sum a candidate In the Held. Yet we hear the old was story so familiar in Reconstruction days of the suppressel negro vote The negroes as a rule have long since ceased to bestow a thought on politics; and we believe that even if every one were allowed to vote only a beggarly corporal’s guard could be rallied tor the Republicans. The Republicans do not care for negro per &, and any ac tion taken In his beiialf indicates either a fear of Democratic success in the north, unless the negro hi favored in the south, or a desire to make a precedent to turn out Democratic con gressmen in 1905, for the house may be at that time uncomfortably close. There is not a scintilla of proof that more than 16T voters wanted Dantzler.

As this was a good scheme to givs jobs to 400 or 500 heelers, some of Murray’s party colleagues supported it but Mayor Van Wyck didn’t aee it that way and removed Nurray from office—which, perhaps, was about M good a thing se Mayor Van Wyck ever did.

L Starr’s plantation only a few weeks ago, came to Mr. Ja< day afternoon and brought with him an axe handle which be’ had made himself, and wanted to exchange with Mr. Jackson for a half gallon o kerosene oil. Mr. J tekson explained to the negro that be could not trade with Um as the ban He would not sell for what tbe oil w;is worthy. This however, did not satisfy tbe negro. and he became angry and began to abuse Mr. JackSon wbo ordered him to leave the store.
