THE TRIBUNE--TALIAFERRO-
REBEL TICKET.

Kem0FknDie Dream Continued.
When Crane jumped out the window on
the announcement of Morgan's bill of ex-
penses incurred in the business of breaking
up the Republican party of Plaquemines
he was badly injured, and when Rodriguez
asked what doctor he would have, he ex-
claimed, ANY doctor who is not member
of the Grand Army or Grand League"
Roudanez was suggested, but Crane OBJ
jected by saying, 81 have heard that when
Roudanez visits any patients who are
doubtful as to their ability to pay he exacts
the cash in advance. Send me some one
who is not quite SO mean.r
Morgan soon came down stairs, and see
ing Crane in the arms of Rodriguez, he in.
quired, "What-whats the matter with
Crane?'
He was informed that Crane became
alarmed lest he should have to pay his pro
rata of certain bill presented by one C. c.
Morgan, and that he jumped .out the
window and hurt himself.
"Served him right" said Morgan, adding,
81 hope he will stay injured till my bill is
paid"
Roudanez now appeared in his buggy
Seeing Crane in the hands of Rodriguez, he
drove up close to the sidewalk and inquired
what was the matter? On being informed
he said Go for me and the Tribune, and
all will be well.n
This made Rodriguez mad, and he cried,
"Snake! snake suakc!" Crane finally re.
covered, and was enabled to walk to the
cars, which took him home.
The next thing saw was another assem-
blage at 2O5 Canal street. similar in many
respects to that witnessed in the early part
of my dream. There were about seventy
persons present, including Roudanez, who
seemed so disgusted at his first experience
as presiding officer that he was glad the
responsibility was placed on other shoul-
ders on this occasion. Noticed that Crane
had sufficiently recovered to be enabled to
attend this second meeting.
There seemed to be quite an excitement
among the leaders. They whispered to each
other; they winked; they beckoned.
The only thing heard of the whispering
was from Charles Smith. / heard him say
to Crane: "Now, Crane, do you know this
man Pizney, or Pizbee who is to speak
tonight? I'll be disfranchised if 1 don't
think he comes from R. King Cutler to serve
Andy johnson in some way or other among
usn
al have very grave suspicious" said
Crane.
"But what can we do" said Smith.
"Let him speak, let him speak, said
Crane.
At this point heard oolored man from
the Red river country say:
"I was in Pzbee's regiment. He collected
our money to secure us land, and after we
worked for him for little while he left us,
and we never got our money back.n
shot sou exclaimed soude who was
standing by.
az can prove itby more than hundred
witnesses,n said the man from Red river.
soude, deeming himself insulted, took the
poor colored man By the throat, and then
row commenced which came very near
breaking up the meeting.
In the course Of time Pizbee was called
upon for a speech. he seemed SO MAD that
nobody enjoyed what he said, and when he
began to abuse WarmOtk 1t seemed as if he
knew he was doing wrong, When he men
toned something about thieves and plum.
derers heard the coiOred man who was in
his regiment say
she is himself the greatest plunderer
ever heard off,
His speech was somewhat lengthy, ex.
ceedingIy violent, Bitter, and incoherent.
In the course of time he pitched into War,
moth again, and soon about fifty men cried
out "That's he.s
This made Pizbes mad. and he pulled
ef his coat. and challenged sny Warmoth
