representations had been made to the
ports regarding casea of hardship and

'Hon. Charles O’Ferrall—My Dear

dignation. I send you by this mitt
ooplee of the Boston Journal and the

views with me. I beg to assure you ui
our hearty approbation of alt you so
kindly did for our committee and to
express the belief that these Interviews

truths which were telegraphed here by
same unscrupulous sensationalists in

"Richmond, Va„ March 21, 1S95.—
Senator Th'amas W. Darling, State
House, Boston, Mass.—Dosr Sir; Re
plying to yours of «he 19th instant, I
will say that I am utterly disguslrd
with the episode to which you refer.
The time has not come when I would
knowingly Invite a commute- of any
kind In which there was a coloAsd man
to dine or lunch at my private house
or the gubernatorial mansion. "While I
trust I may nev -r be so unmindful of
the dignity of my official station as to
treat a legislative committee, of wMt-
ever ester, from another stole with
discourtesy, when they are calling In
their official capacity amt I sum receiv
ing In my official capacity, yet candor
require* mo to aay that' had I been
aware, or had It ev-n been intimated
to me that a colored man was In your
ptrty, my attentions would have been
much more foitnat than they we. e and
you would have been received at my
executive office and not my mansion,
for I draw the line on the negro at
the social circle or anywhere -Ise that
suggests a semblance of social equal
ity.
''Interviews with me have been pub
lished by my authority, anti while I
need no vindication before my own
people, I here denounce. Without quali
fication, as absolutely untrue any
statement. Insinuation or Intimation
that the farts are at variance wffh
those ptdAlshed tn the interviews.
“Candor requires me further to say
that I am utterly surprised to And that
you and Same of your colleagues have
made at home the statements you have
In the face of the expressions of dis
gust and annoyance you Indulged In

you the negro Teamoh. Very respect
fully, Charles T. O'Fcrralt.’’
