This despica- ble attempt having been thwarted in both the means adopted, I retire not only without regret, but gladly welcome the relief from my sworn obligation to “respect”? and obey a man proven so unworthy of respect. It is due to myself in conclyad ng to explain that having been nomina- ted for the headship of the Consoli- dated Battalion by the ananimous vote of my own organization, and urged and supported by so large a number of the good people of this District, without regard to race or politics. I was bound in honor to stay in the race to the end, but had the appointment been tendered me finally it would have been promptly declined.

Mr. John H. Smyth, who made @ speech at the 5th Baptist church April 16th and published in the Evening Star of this city, was one of the most foolish speeches that was ever uttered by man. He has done more to cause race preja- dice in this city than any otber alien. Mr. Smyth seems to be an- gry with some one because he is not taken socially. If there is any color prejadice in this city of whith Mr. Smyth complains, he must admit that he has always been treated with respect and con- sideration. He had better return to North tina where he belongs. His ova Baptist church speech has done him more harm than good and if Mr. Smyth thinks that the people of this city thanks him for his re- cent 16th day of April speech, he ig mistaken.

The last parade; was the “last of the Mo- hicians.” The leader in the march of progress, advancement an? fra- gality in this matter may have discouraged the displeasare of the “bummer,” the demagogue and the “Ward heeler,” but the genuine peuple bigh and low, rich and poor, will praise his name and bis action.
