they must not attempt - control this ms citing.
Mr.. George Hill, Jr., askedthat the call offhe
meeting be read. The secretary then read the
call from the EVENING STAR.
Mr.. Beall stated that he thought the call of
the meeting was explicit enough. 1t was a re-
publican meeting. The republicans of the third
district had fought the democrats boldly and
maniully the last four years, but the democrats
could not charge them 1.-THE reDublicans) with
interrupting any Of their meetings. He saw
before him an unusual number of democrats in
the room, and

AN ENEMY TO THE coLoRED PEOPLE,

called upon the colOred men present TO bear him
witness that when the quota of troops for
GtOrget0wn was called for he borrowed SO, 900

number Of substitutes for, both races. He had
given the eolored -ople more employment than
the whole Doodle of such men as Bean Bron-
augh and Clements. Last year there was gen

And the result was that he had been most wo-
fully beaten the republicans had an idea that
they were obliged 10 vote for any man designa-
ted BY Governor Cooke, and the result vas that
they had been beaten; now let them take a well
tried republican and there would be no failure.
MI. w. H. Barker said he did not know what
both these gentlemen-Messrs. Beau and Hill
meant by defending their republicanism He
thought there was no discount on Mr.. Beall; but
