| CustOmhouSo parties could abuse Warmotb,
ana begln by playing the demagogue. He
might go on to picture antecedents-h
Mr.. A. Hoped over from being one of the
staunchest administration men into the
| opposing lines. He might go on, and take
examples of recent date-indeed, the
opportunity was almost too good to be lost,
! and it was almost a pity not to mention
| them = of parties who had recently
| joined the CustOmhOuse cOhOrt; of men
who were recent allies; who having OBJ
tanned official favor of Warmoth, 10, and
behold, they now abuse WarmOth as the
rascal of the party. The lucrative posi-
tiOns of six or eight thousand year they
| held have been wrested from them, and
| knowing that they from the circumstances
would be called upon to "pOne up" for the
campaign, they go over to the opposite side
| thinking to escape the burden of the tax.
If he might give any advise to the OppO-
| site side, it is to tax new converts a little
heavier, and see how long they'll be your
friends
We mean business. We owe no allegiance
to WarmOth nor to ]. F. Casey. We are
| the representatives of the people in their
majesty-the entire people. Wait and you
will see assembled convention of the peO-
ple-Of the entire people, and if they do not
name the winning ticket 'take my head for
football" All that we intend to do is to
duOEu 6V6TyUOuy q CIbdUy ldlI uodl3 ouu
give fair chance to the entire voting pop
ulation.
A vOice-That's what we want.
You will get it. You will see, ere many
days, assemble in that convention men who
will command the respect, confidence and
obedience of the people:
Here some one made a remark which
prompted MIR. Pinchback to inquire what it
was.
Mr.. Lewis-Don't make him commit him
self: he's an emplOye of the city govern
ment.
This statement of Colonel Lewis, that he
removed men on account of their political
opinions provoked the narration of an incl
dent in Jefferson, where, seeing drum and
fife going about to beat up a crowd, he in
nocently formed one of the gathering, and
his arrival was hailed with CONSERVATION.
He was told, "There amt nobody agin you;
we're all going agin WarmOth." He was in |
Vited to speak at the meeting, and they |
were very anxious that he should do so after |
the business of the meeting. Apprehending /
they intended to do their business and ad-
jOurn, he staid about there, when mo-
ton was made and carried by reclamation
that he address the meeting. Nobody else
suited them. Colonel Lowell rose to speak,
but that wouldn't do and an uprear ensued.
Lowell said: ats your policemen trying
to break up this meeting"
To prove the assertion all the police in
the room were counted, and but one found,
and his name was Talbot.
This was a specimen brick of the accusa-
lions and charges made against just as good
as any there. In answer to a
question from one in the audience, he said he
mad removed him, but not on account of
political differences; it was for some other
'easOn. which he told at the time.
Mr.. Pinchback's speech was directed to-
ward the abolition of all differences for the
,ake of harmOnizing the party, and he was
severe in his illusions to those
nen who, pretending to be in favor of
lniOn, still were making the parties drift
wider apart. This class Of men he handled
without gloves, and was not at all back
ward or bashful as regards names.
On the conclusion of Mr.. Pinchback's |
peech the club shortly afterwards adj
burned, with the impression that Mr..
'inchback was the man of the hour.
