McKinley is elected and we are all happy, and hopeful of the future. I mailed you a copy of the Post the other day in which the editor speaks of you and me. Whatever may have beer the purpose of the writer, one thing is certain—that the mention of colored men in connection with such portions does the race no harm, but may be productive of much good. The office to which I shall aspire Is the one indicated by you, but for reasons which you fully appreciate I do not deem it wise at this time to give publicity to my intentions in this direction. We shall din cuss this matter fully when I see you. Present our warmest regards to Mrs Washington. Sincerely Yours B. K. Bruce ALS Con.
