polied which ought not to be- He did not ooun-
sci violence, Jet there was duty for every citi'
7en TO perform; he did not want them 10 disturb
the peace on election day, but got their right
through the law. The Colonel flushed his 70.
marks BY invoking them to the performance OF
their duty.
Mr.. John II. semmss was called for, and in.
troduced himself by saying that u was an unex.
peeted thing 10 him TO be called on to make q
speech, ns he never made one In his life. He did
not apprehend defeat, II they would all do their
duty. He wanted them all TO be on the ground
early. They should be at the registry, as there
were number Of names would be stricken on,
and probably they could md more Virginia
avenue and other places might be pretty wtll
euiisd out with those who had no right to vote,
and who belonged to the opposite party. The
speaker was going TO be at the election polls
early In tho morning, and he hoped all present
would do the same. He was satisfied IL the regis
try was looked into properly, they could have .
majority Of 500 In the ward. He made mention
Of the poll tax, and said II was good thing that
II was taken off, and mono would have to be paid
He was willing to have any mans vote, whether
white or black, so long as ho was entitled TO
vote. little armness and hard work would
| secure them the victory. He spoke Of his own
previous experience, and how he had succeeded
BY energy In being elected to the Board Of Al
| dermen, and then closed his remarks ...
Captain aedney was next introduced, and
| thanked the meeting for the nomination, though
Il was unsolicited on his part. He should do bis
best II elected to promote the interests Of the
city Of Washington, and more particularly those
| Of the Seventh ward. He thanked them for their
kindness, and then took his seat.
Calls were then made for DR.. Allen, aud that
gentleman came forward. .aa
DR.. Allen said that the contest they were now
engaged In was different from any heretofore. A
number Of ambitious men, who were only trying
10 gain power, wero trying to array the colored
men against the white citizens Of this city. They
only desired the oolored votes for their own ag-
grandiIement. The white citizens Of this city
had always been and were the only truo friends
Of the coiored race. These ambitious men were
only using tho oolored man for their own selfish
purposes, and, whom that was accomplished they
would throw him aside. The Conservatives had
not presumed 10 truekster for yotssj for they
would not descend 10 such petty measures. II
the colored man was able to judge for himself he
would not allow those parties to pull him about,
but vote as II was his interest to do. He spoke
Of the registry, and wanted all to be on hand
early and do their duty, and their success would
be overwhelming, and the Radical party forever
placed hors dn combat In this District
The speaker spoke In glowing terms OF the can
| didates presented by tho Conservatives TO tho
people. The city, under the lead Of the Con-
ssrvative party, had improved wonderfully. All

been brought here. II oil only done their duty,
the Radicals would sustain Waterloo defeat on
noxt Monday. In the language Of old jim Will
liams, "they would be done and clean gone three
weeks ago" II they only done their duty at
the registration and the polls, the Radical party
would be cleaned out entirely. II the colored
men but understood their own interests, they
would cast their votes with the Conservatives.
II they voted with tho Radicals, they would
never vote again with them, as the speaker was
satisfied they would find out who were their true
friends. He advised those before him not "a
scratch the ticket, but to 60 In and work hard,
and success would be theirs.
DR.. Allen concluded his remarks, and the
meeting then adjourned.
Heaid's band was In attendance and discourset
most elegant music during tho evening, and
Inatel tally onlivened tho proceedings Of the meet
ing, which were moro than usual Of an animated
character.
Both parties are certainly displaying much
zeal for the success Of their tickets. The Repub'
iicans are working with will and II the large
and determined gathering at the Seventh ward
meeting Of the Democratic conservatives last
evening, Is any proof Of the spirit Of that party
there certainly Is no apathy existing. and Col
Florence's fear In that respect Is groundisss.
