Description
The Colored Troops Fought Nobly. - - We want it recorded right here and made a note of that many colored people in Platte City and county cast their vote willingly for their county man Mr. Wilson. They did this, as they said they knew Mr. Wilson and didn't care anything for the other fellow.
And as for 2 or 3 Bosses in Platte City, they had about enough of them. They noticed these bosses made no excuse for not putting a "nigger" on their ticket, although the colored people have represented over a third of the Republican vote of Platte County. They knew the would be Republican bosses and had no confidence in them.Date(s) of Creation
