Grant and Cola. in wilmington.

One of the most imposing demonstrations.
ever witnessed in Wilmington, took place in
that city on Tuesday evening last
Messrs. Holden and Coleman arrived on the
halfpast seven o'clock train, and were at once
conducted to the residence OF Mr.. Geo. 2. French.
At about halfpast eight o'clock, the No. Brass
band, and two companies of "Tanners," equipped
in uniform and armed with lamps, arrived at Mr..
French's to escort the speakers to the City Hall.
The tanners constitute a vast political order,
in the United States. They are somewhat SINH
lar in their organization to the old order OF
the "Wide Awakes." They derive their pames
from the TACT that General Grant was at one time
a tanner OF the hides of cattle, and afterwards
tanner of rebel hides. Each tanner is equipped
with military Oil skin cap and CAPE On the
cape is full spread American Eagle, and just
below it the words "Grant and Colfax"
With this escort, andan immense crowd jam
ming the side walks, the speakers, Mcssrs. Ash
ley, Coleman and Holden were conducted to the
/. City Hall, where aiyast concourse Of people
had already assembled, and were listening to
the stirring music of band No. 2, called 'sThe
Rosebud" ..f...E.f. .rt.55

The speeches were able and eloquent and full
of the fire of patriotism. The vast audience,
numbering more than three thousand filled TIE
space in front ofhe hall and the street to the pave
ment on the other side. The utmost enthusiasm
prevailed and cheers rent the air as tho eager lis
teners were called upon to rally tothe standard of
Grant to save the country from war and devas-
tation as the patriots had rallied to his support in
the first rebellion. The fires are burning bright

tion exists among the colorcd citizens to vote
the Republican ticket at all hazards. The rebel

The meeting was addressed by W. A. Albright,
and DR.. Young Their speeches were earnest
and convincing arguments in support of Repub-
lican principles, and were received with an en-
thusiasm which indicates that Alamance will
give an increased Republican majority at the

The crowd then repaired to the grove and par
took of a sumptuous barbecue, and notwithstand-
ing the vast number present, every one was sat

Resolutions were adopted endorsing the Chi
cago Platform and the nomination of Grant and
Coliax, and pledging them their hearty support,
appauding the course of Congress in guarantee
ing equal political rights to the loyal people of
the South. declaring that the peace, safety and
future prosperity of the country depend upon
the success of the Republican party; pledging
the use of every honorable means to defeat the
schemes of the Conservative party, which has de
clared open hostility to the reconstruction acts
of Congress, and would, if successful, inaugurate
open resistance thereto; and expressing gratif-
cation at the wise and manly course pursued by
His Excellency Gov. W. w. Holden in the ad-
ministration of State affairs.
Maj. H. A. Badlam was then loudly called for
and he esponded in lengthy speech. We could
not do full justice to the force of his remarks
without giving verbatim report. Suffice it to
say that he dissected the policy of the Democrat
ic party, and laid open their designs with so
mastery hand, that at the close of his remarks
! large number of young men came forward and
| announced that they should leave the Conscrva-
tive ranks and hereafte: work and vote for Grant
and Colfax. #.
This announcement was received with cheers,
and the meeting adjourned amid the widest en-
thusiasm, with cheers for Grant and Colfax.

The new born love for the strace'' which our
Democratic friends are experiencing in this lati-
tude prompts us to give them light: b.:
l. Are the heels of Conservative aiggers quite
as elongated as the heels of Radical niggers!
2. Are their shinboncs any straighter. or their
feet any less SO? Are their hoses any less fiat,
their lips less thick, their hair less short and
kinky? .n
3. II the Democratic party succeeds next fall
in getting into power, through the votes of Con-
all negroes to marry Democrats, or do they re-
serve that privilege exclusively for the benefit
OF Conservative niggers?
4. Dothc Democracy, If they acquire power,
design to allow all blacks to testify in courts, sit
on jurcs, ride in street cars, build churches and
school houses, attend Democratic barbecues and
conventions alike, or will they extend these priv
ilegcs exclusively to Democratic niggers?
