POLITICAL L.
Grand Rally Of kennerville Republicans

Thursday evening, at the Hall OF the
Grant Radical Republican Club, kenncr-
vile. q large and enthusiastic meeting of
Republicans was held for the purpose of rat
living the nominations of the State and par
ish conventions, and to express the APP
prevail and endorsement by the club OF the
administration of Governor WarmOth. The
President. Mr.. Jerry Whitworth, introduced
Major Louis +. Granger, who. in a pithy and
well considered address, showed up the err
rors of the Democracy, detailing their false
promises anG unlawful acts for a period of
forty wears. The feature most conspicuous
hv ITS absence in the Majors speech. was
that bitterness which not uuirequently mars
the effect OF some of the best efforts OF our
orators when exposing the dOings OF their
political Anniversaries.
The Major showed clearly that there was
no reasonable ground TO hope, much less ex-
pect that even Il single one OF the promises
made by the Democracy to the cOlOred men
should be kept, should that party, by any
means, come into power. and urged upon his
hearers not only the Importance, but the
policy. of following those to whom they
lthe'colored peoplel owed all the rights.
privileges and immunitics they enjoy, and
Tor the perpetuation of those blessings, and
for the purpose Of obtaining others.
The address Was listened to throughout
with marked and earnest attention. and at
its close the speaker was greeted with q
perfect storm of applause.
On motion, vote of thanks was rendered
to Major Granger for his eloquent address,
and the following resolutions were unani-
1pously adopted:

who if for no other reason than the graft
tude they owe the Republican party for the
untold benefits, privileges and blessings it
has bestowed upon ,he1n should be faithful
to it. are using every means to create dis
sensions because their private interests are
not made paramount to the party principles:

one line from the path of duty.

nounce the eowardly attempt made 10y some
