Of course, we know Mr. Hughes would have acted the same way,
but we should not like to see Mr. Wilson punished for thas acting.

It is true that Mr. Wilson in public life has never gone out
of his way to encourage the Colored man, but in him, I suppose that the
Colored man has even more to hope for than in Mr. Hughes, if we may judge
Mr. Hughes from his public life, including his term as Governor of the
State of New York, But I am not speaking for any candidate or political
party; But in the interest of my race and country as I see it, and
hope that my feeble words may bring the country to see the error and the
gravity of these conditions.

Hoping that Mr. Wilson and Mr. Hughes pay see fit to at once
declare what their course would be as to these matters, I am,

Your grateful reader,
Eugene McIntoh
