Rost. E. Forp. <9 a INTERESTING CORRESPOND- ENCE. The following correspondence will explain explain itself. *Seedymountain,” Washington, D.C., U.S. A., (cable) Feb. 14, 1888. Hon. Jeemes G. Blaine, Florence, Iatly, Dear sir:—I woke up a few mornings ago, early enough to go out and take one of the daily papers printed bere, and to my great sur- prise and “dumbfoundment,” I saw in flaming head-line, the announce- ment of your withdrawal from the race as a presidential candidate. I discredited what my eyes so plainly saw, and at once concluded that it was a cruel campaign lie of the Morey order and intended to demoralize your thousauds of loyal friends and admiresr throughout the country. You can form no idea what a panic in politicai cir- eles that letter has created, men of all parties are startled and alarmed by reason of it aud many are the opinions given as to the motive which impelled you to in- vite that letter, So far as I am in- dividually concerned, I don’t be- lieve a word of that letter. [ve known you since 776 and I never in all that time knew you to doa jackass trick in political life. I suppose if you did write the letter Jemie, you did it simply to find out how many candidates would be likely to bob up, and how much water you would be able to draw next June, between me and you and the gate post. I think the letter is a capit.l one ‘and does credit to your head and heart, Ii shows you to be an unselfish patri- ot and willing to sacrifice all your poor relailons for the common good. Cable me all the particulars at my expense, so that Vil know bow to lay corner-stones and pave the way for you. Yours tauely, Joe Bunker. Hotel Del Alamo, Florence, Italy. Feb. 16, 1838. Hon. Joseph Bunker, Washington Ber. Washington, D. C., U.S. A. (cable) My dear Mr. Bunker: Me and Mr. Blaine bave read your cablegram with very great pleasure and we both feel grateful to you for your interest in the letter. If you will read it between the lines you will see that it is not a positive declination of the great office to which I have aspired more than once as you know the specific ob- ject af that letter as you have very properly observed, is to secure an expression of opinion and primari- ly to a certain man who will be in the field in June uext as against me should my friends in America see fit to offer my name to the Con- vention. I did uot state that I would not accept the nomination or the office if either came my way. L am not that kind of man. I merely stated that I must de- cline to permit the use of my name! ete. Of course, if my friends think that 1 can be nominated and elect- ed, that will be their afiairnce, amin their hands. I am very ious to-be president just onee, and shall watch with interest from this distance the farn which affairs will, ‘| be lixely to take in. the. uext. few months. I think as. you do- that /| my letter is a curio, and that it will be regarded in different bgits by different people. I meatit every word I have written and I have said nothing which cannot be diplomat- ically remedied. Remember me to Perry and Andy and Marcellus, and the rest of the boys and tell them that the Bureau over her is loaded. Yours tuely, Jeemes. Hoo SOTTH WASHINGTON NEWS. Mrs. Leanna Brigham Seott, widow of the late Ret. Henry Scott, is dead. The entertainment for the bene- fit of Mrs. Lettie Isaacs, was held at the resdence of Mrs. Carrie Smith, 316 G@ street. on Monday evening last and was largely at- tended. Among the many important measure considered at the citizen's meeting, the following appreciable resolution was unanimously pass d: Wuereas, Among the many good mentions of the Washington Bex, the equal chances for the race of life have always been advocated by its managers for each American citizen with justice to all, withont any special favor to any ; and Wuereas, it ever appiised us of each danger and demanded our every right; therefore be it Resolved by this mass-meeting as- sembled, of respectable cvlored citizens, of property owners and others, irrespective of sex, That it is our truest represenative of oar race and society of the District of Columbia. The public meeting announeed for Thursday of this week will not be held until Wednesday evening, tis 29th inst., to which all are in- vited. bd Shoemokers, wood and coal deal- in this city, seem to be the only masters of their situations just now. The unkroken season of rain and snows show conclusively to the col- ored citizens, whose duty it is to de. mand equal improvements of their streets. There is a very little dif- ference between the gravelled and unimproved streets in the winter. The objection raised to gravelled Streets 1s, that in win er they are nothing but pools of mad and water, and in summer, they ¢ sand and dast, which is destructive to prop- erty in summer and to ways in winter. The sudden death of Mrs. Dia- damie Payne, who died on Satur- day morning last at 4:30 o'clock, aged 71 years, brought together a large number of persons to attend the funeral oa Monday, at 2 p. m. from her late residence on H street. Dassage General rports from the Minis- terial Conferences, show a large number of sick and nota few suf- ferers, which call for active workers among the christian women. The Women’s Christian Temper- ance Union of the Zion Baptist Chureb, held its first Aunual meet- at the church on Sunday last at 3 Pp. m., whic was @ large and intes- esting session, The Pastor’s Relief Club of the Enon Baptist Church be kd a socia- ble at 730 Sth street s. e. on Wed- nesday night last. _ At the Colored Baptist Minister- ial Conference, Rev. Wm. J. Low- ard read @ paper on Reviyal-. The death of Mrs. Miry Browr, which has been so long ¢xpected, and whose faueral took place from the St. Paul A. M. E. Chureh, 8 bh street s. w., brought together m iny hundreds of people. — + When you wake up in the might avd hear the baby eryiny, look out for danger—her?s « jrock ahead.
