Recent Conversion.

Mr. Thurman said, in reply to n colored delegate who was on the .notification com mittee. and who had promised, him 11,000, colored votes in Illinois, “Slavery is dead and wo are glad of it.” This may bo ail true now, but the “we" alluded to was mighty sorry when it happened. “We” also opposed colored suffrage until it was forced upon “we” by Republican votes.— Minneapolis Tribune.
