SummaryResumen

In a letter dated December 3, 1886, Haytien Consul Mr. Astwood reported to Mr. T. T. Fortune on the Dominican political contest, noting that the color-line made its appearance for the first time as educated young men influenced by foreign association discriminated against the black majority. The election featured General Heureaux representing the masses and General Casimira N. de Moya representing the elite candidate, with the Moya faction making large demonstrations and expected to win by an overwhelming majority through popular vote.

En una misiva fechada el 3 de diciembre de 1886, el cónsul estadounidense en Santo Domingo, Sr. Astwood, comunicó a T. T. Fortune pormenores de la disputa política dominicana, destacando que el prejuicio de color se manifestaba por primera vez ante la actitud de jóvenes letrados influidos por costumbres foráneas que discriminaban a la masa negra. La contienda enfrentaba al general Heureaux, personero de las clases populares, con el general Casimiro N. de Moya, adalid de las élites, exhibiendo la facción moyerista imponentes alardes y confiando en imponerse por abrumador sufragio popular.
