called on, delivered speech full of local

abolition ofself government in the South,
their spoliation of the Southrons' system
Of labor without cents compensation,
their crafty use and unkind treatment of
the negro, and their rascalities generally.

of the Radical platform, pointing out the
fact that although it denounced repuda-
ton as crime, committee of the Radi-
cal Congress repudiated the services and
pay of the white and black militia of
Memphis. he compared the Ulysses Of
Homer with the Ulysses Of Boomers
Ledger, showing the former to have been
"a frank, fair fellow" while he found
the latter to be "a hayward chap-a sort
of little Nero, who smiled and smoked
over his countrys ruin" and who en-.
deavored to be "a little exterminator, in
the manner Of the Mikado of Japan"
He paid just tribute to the benevolence
of the Israelites, and appealed to the
patriotism of Germans and Irish to join
in this ballot-box battle against tyranny
and despotism. Mr.. s. Homan followed
in an interesting speech on the bond
question, which was well received and
frequently applauded. After some sen.

and others, the Club adjourned until

practical and to the point. His
suggestion that our next representative
in Congress should interest himself in
advancing our local interests, securing
an appropriation for the erection Of a
