Mr Johnson yesterday iddre***ed a let

I*rofoiauliy grateful. T* you, who saw

Ir* spactfully. T F. Johnson
Mr Johnson'** friends, without regard to
j narty. will admit that "had he remained
in the field" he would have polled a large
vote, wnether he "had been elected" or
not.
Mr Johnson s withdrawal from the race
mike* it i,i the more certain that the
lUpubliran'* Intend to wag* an active cam
paign in the district 11h tome hopes of
Mice**;--. Mr I> iken reernt conference
wrivi party leaders In Wahlngfr.n 1* be.
lleved to have resulted in ;>o#itlve assur
ance* of assistance, both financial and
otherwise With the large negro vote In
-everal counties o> the district, the al
leged disorganisation and dissatisfaction
in the D*m. ratlr party In (’hatham and
the further fact that many business men
°peniy nnnounce their Intention of voting
fir McKinley, the Republican* have high
hopes of either ele.-tlng their Candida**’
or miking such a showing os will enable
him to moke n contest before the House
of Repr>s ntatlve#.
The appearance of active opposition,
however. Is having the natural effect of
solidifying the friends of Col Lester The
lurg* majority of the business m*t who
will vote for .McKinley and Roosevelt at
the head of the ticket Will have Col Les
ter's nam- at the other end of It. Mayor
Myers and other leaders, who also have
luge financial interests, are very decid
edly In favor of the return of Col.
to Congress as th** most valuable man
who could represent the district. Many
of the district leaders, who have been
talking about dissatisfaction and luke
wurmnes*. both in the city and the roun
irs. are getting in line ar.d de luring their
•llexltnce to col latter. Evidently all
that Is needed is a little opposition to stir
*he fighting blood of the party.
Rev. Fortune E. Washington, colored
tn t communication co th*- Morning New**
declares that Col Leader will get more
votes am* ng the colored people of Lib
erty. Bryan and Melntosh counties than
Mr Leaker. Mr the reverend
- fates, i not known to the peorde of
the*#- counties, while Col Lester has been
furnishing seed to the farmers, both white
and colored, for the last several years
Washington asserts that the ticket with
the colored voters of the counties named
will be McKinley and lister.
