It was therefore voted to 9 continue the polls open for one hour and a half and. rotes were deposited | very slowly. -The mysterious movements of certain colored leaders caused r one of the candid°tes to investigate and he discovered after some delay that j the effort was being made to vote the , colored *voters of the city in mass for ! a single candidate of their own and no 1 votes were to be cast for anv other by ' them. The candindate waa Charles i Key. colored, 'who Has seen service in 9 the army, and is popularly known r among bis people as Sergeant Key. It 1 was the intentiou of the colored ■ leaders, apparentlv to conduct their t canvass privately and to catch the | - white candidates napping. A« soon as - the news was spread abroad, however, the half hour ot time remaining was utilized by~voters quite fully and the | result was 279 vote* cast, of which 61 | I was for the colored candidate, and 21 S j j for the regular ticket, which was j | elected as follows : Samuel Yt. Stites, ; j George S. Douglas*. Howa'd F. Otter. ; for three years : Everett Jerrell. for j I two years, and Thomas S.. Steven*, for | one year. The colored leaders said that ! they had no fault to "find with the schools nor with the'treatment of their | children therein, but wanted t" show the white people how much power they had when banded together for a par- ] ticulsr object. The tickets vo^d by | the colored voters contained but ooe ! name and no term was assigned. They | were accord'nglv all thrown out as il- ' j legal, bv the election officers. Thorns* H Huches.
