White Men, Read.

Alta negro ratification meeting in
Lancaster, Pa, last week, one Of the
speakers, Reinoehl, white, said
That by specinl revelation lately made
to him, il was decreed that every man who
voted the Democratic ticket, would surely
90 to hell. He assured the colored men
who were then in his audience, that their
only hope Of earthly prosperity and future
salvation, depended upon their voting the
Republican ticket wi huui scratching. The
Democrats said he. are willy fellows, aud
they will be soliciting your votes hut no
true negro gentleman, will be beguilcd by
their Syrcn song, The negroes were, as u
race, possessed of higher instincts aud aspi
rntious than white mem but yet they had a
few scoundrels and blackguards among them
who would naturally vote the d, mocraiic
ticket among the white men, however,
there were much larger number of scala,
wags than among the negroes. and, conse'
quently, il was among the white men OF the
country, that the Democracy found their
numerical strength. The decent white men
were far less numerous than the low and
indecent white men, including as these did
the ignorant Dutch aud Irish but aided
aud supported by the negro gentlemen Of
the country, the Republican party would
ever bear its banners to victory over its ig
noble foes.

THE BASE BALL FAILURE.-The
disappointment was rife in our city when
telegram at the eleventh hour informed
the members of cur Live Oak base ball club
that the redoubtable Potter Palmer
club of Chicago backed squarely out
of the engagement to meet our boys for
match game on the 2lst inst at Oconomo-
woe. What few engagements the Potter Pal
mers fulfilled W it'll the base ball boys Of
our State must have convinced the young
gentlem en- from the Garden city that they
were not very palmy crowd. On Tues
day of last week they played the GAINESVILLE
club and got laid out by the fearful score of
ga to II, and we under stand they do not
lay their defeat to the umpire, either The
nextsday the Potter Palmers were to play the
Mendotas, at Madison, but failed to come to
time having left that morning in disgust, ii
is supposed, for Chicago. Our boys,.felt very
much chagrined to think they were not to
meet the champions from Chicago, but de-
termined to report themselves on the ground,
and accordingly made their appearance at
Oconomowoc and took the revenge of their
disappointment on the Oconomowoc boys,
who kindly consented to play game for
the accommo dation of their visitors, al
though not in an organized condition to
play ball, and much out of practice Tie
Live Oak boys of course scored big score
against them, but everything passed off
pleasantly. Our boys went to some expense
to prepare to meet the Potter Palmer club,
and unless there can be some good reason
shown why the Potter Palmers did not full
fill the engagement our boys must consider
themselves very much imposed upon by the
Chicago ball players.
