Mr. Davidson, on receiving laononneement of the determination leoveRlanEh him for Dan-all's benefit, mi a letter withdrawing from the in which he said, after stating thsease: This affair shows two things, of which is that the colored man mill vote fur any honest Republican, let 111 tolor be white or black; the other that the majority ot white itepuou yi will not stand by and support a colored Republican." VThen Davidson made that statement Is struck the keynote of Republican Mrty history in this State. The white Republicans have always used their arcro allies for self-aggrandizement tfrne. Such official crumbs as were (ires to the colored membership were ly sops to Cerberus, concessions to keep up the line.

The case of Mr. Frank Waters, so on fortunately connected with the lament ed death of the late Joseph Baker, which will in due time find its way to the Grand Jury of the Criminal Court, hat heretofore been stated at length in the oeluxnna of this pi cper. It was so purely and simply a of se It -de fense, so free from any possible i inputs tion of premeditation or maiace, and it grew out of a meeting so utterly an eught and unexpected on his part, that it should require but little considera tion to dispose off it.

Young Waters, a reporter on a daily newspaper, wrote for publication: an. account of im- proper official acta by the police at political public election. Be did not assau in any manner the acta or reputation of Mr. Baker, and had given no reason to expect from him any hostile action. He simply expressed the truth.

On his way home by an ac- enstozned routeWatera was met. called out ot the street car in which be traveling, and was premeditated ly as ssWlted with a deadly weapon. Natur ally he Defended himself, righting for his life as beat he could, with results which he deeply regrets. This is ail of the case, as far as Mr. Waters is con cerned, and the facta.

have been fully brought out at the preliminary exami nation, when he should have been dis sharged without subjecting him to further durance or oppression. The mis fortune of beinr compelled to defend one's life at the cost of bloodshed should be great enough to-protect him from nn necessary and vexatious persecution.
