that there would he but few who would vote
the Ci,Izens' ticket. They complained thai
they had not obtained work, and asked how

colored men. Voices None''I They stated,
too, thar Irish Radicals got the work. There
were but few of them, aud he wished that
they could get more work
Mr.. Bond explained how his motion would
work, and IL was adopted.
Mr.. :. Wolfe was callei on and addressed
the meeting, first speaking Of the duty of those
who think that they have been wrJnged, of
having their wrongs redressed IN the Rapuh-
Hcan party and remain true 10 the party
For several years he had watched the progress
If the colored men, which was credita Die 70
themselves. He had no fears that the colored
men, after their progress during the last four
years, would vots the so-cailed citizens ticket;
but he would warn them not TO be entrappei
by their enemies. He had no fears but that the
Third Ward would give a majority tor tn,
Republican ticket, and he urged that for their
ticket good, sound men Of character be selected,
that the redemption of the ward may be Insured

Mr.. Aaron Russell moved 70 appoint a COM
mittee to select the time when the ward ticket
Is 10 be nominated, but after some discussion
withdrew the motion.
Mr.. N. H. Miller addressed the meeting,
Republican ranks, and that the sCitizsns'
TIC ket'' project has but few supporters. H.
referred to Charles Stuard as one of those IN
that movement, and SAID that the Democrats
will find that they are Deing beat out Of money.
He spoke Of the proceedings Of the cilizens
meeting amounting 10 nothing, and in couclu-
zion said that the citizens Of the ward would
do their duty and carry the ward.
Mr. John Freeman said that most Of those
present at the citizens meeting were we'll
known to the polics, and some at the blue
citizens, and seemed to forget that only a few
years ago the old citizens voted against the col.
ored people having the right Of suffrage. He
recollected that one Of these old citizens intro
duced a bill to tax 0free negroes and mulat.

and front Of the movement, was oaly a few
weeks since Republican, and notwithstand.
ing he had a petition for a position under Gen.
eral CrCcker as long as his arm. he failed to get
II, and then went into the ..citizsns' move
ment." Some say that he and others are only
getting Democrats money: but he would never
be bought by Democrat. They should take a
lesson from the manner the Democrats had
treated Andrew Johnson He would not eIe-
waite Democrats above the friends who had ele-
waited him and his race. The sscitiZsns'' say
that they are going to starve the colored people
into voting that ticket, and he wished TO say
and hve young negroes on that operation,
Lapplause, and support the Republican ticket,
NO matter who are placed on IT.
Mr.. T. T.. Connolly briefly addressed the
meeting say ing that there were but few who
Were false enough to listen TO the allurements

them that their cause what they are strug-
ling for, and vote the ticket.
Mr.. Robert Thompson, of the First Ward,
said that Solomon would find something Ne "
in old Shareholders hugging their tormsr
slaves. he could get along with Waite len
going over 10 the Democrats, but the coior-d
man who deserted his party was a traitor. ZAP
plause.l Not all their gold and silver could
buy him over. II the Republicans had done
little for the colored men the Democrats would
DO less-the remedy was worse than the di,eas..
He referred TO those in the citizens meeting,

won't weigh pound. He would Tot be like
them-whelps and pups-whining around for
what they will not get. Such men were b.
meath the notice OF all good Repu blicaEs, and
he did not mean TO pollute his tongue with
their names, and would associate with JefTer-
son Davis as a more honorable man than any
of them. 1t had been said that they Were get.
bic, that was more despicable.
Mr.. w. A. Cook deli yered the last address,
saying that there was close resemblance De-
tween the devil IN Paradise ana the citizen's
ticket The devil appeared IN Paradise IN the
form OF a serpent, and the Democratic party
now seek TO appear as citizens. He all uded 20
the speech a. the citizens meeting, in which u
threat was made TO starve those TO death who
do not vote that ticket. Well then starye; 10
II is better to starve and 60 up to Gods etern al
throne than 10 be a Democrat and at last go to

redeem It, and among his disciples there was
Judas lscariOf, who. after pc had BETRAYED his
Lord, hung himself until his bowels burst out.
The Republican party came 10 redeem the
c lOred race, aud had done 50; but there were
