He said he took no active part ln the late contest He thought that the unpopularity or the memorialisls was not due to their Republican views, bat to tho uv that they manipulated, tbe colored vote and plaoed Incompetent men In He said that the reputation of the memorialists was id; that they were Republicans for revenue only, and that when they failed of success In 1S81 their oocupatiou was gone, and having lost their prestige they wanted to bave.
