Col. Maulsby Elected
Summary
Col. Maulsby is now the Johnson party candidate for Congress after the withdrawal of Independent Negro Suffrage candidate Aaron Davis in favor of Col. Maulsby. Circumstances around the withdrawal are unclear, but there may have been a guarantee between Maulsby and Davis that if Davis withdrew and Maulsby was elected, that Maulsby will not "close his eyes entirely to the unfortunately condition of the hapless darkey."
