I give you few notes about the Radical
doings in our county, and such as you tn ink
will be of interest to Your readers, and OF any
benefit to the Reform party, you can give.
On las. Saturday, A. S. Wallace and S. L..
Hoge. Scott's private secretary, made same
old one.and.sixperce speech. Hoge was the
first to speak. He said those charges brought
against Governor Scott were false. He said a
good deal about the school houses, educa-
ting coIored children, and lot OF other stuff.
a. S. Wallace said about the same as usual.
The colored people then formed and marched
to !. Bryce, Jr's. house, where ke came out,
and, screaming at the top Of his voice. abused
the Reform party, and lauded the Radical party
little above the skies. One of his remarks
was, that the colored people could thank the
Republican party that they were free; that they
were equal 10 HIM. In 1868 he said, he could
moi have stood up and advocated the Repub-
ican principles; and that General Butler said,
in a speech then, that all those who dId vote
the Democratic ticket would steal; and said q
good deal more, but all did not amount to any
thing. He, as we'll as the others, show Jnly
the good side; said nothing about that Conh-
Dental Circular nor the deficiency IN the treas
urv. Green Cleveland came out aud SAID q few
words, bur nor no other man can tell what
