cess. "As to the reasons OF our vic.

some another. I think tue reason ip,
that the people OF Indiana and the
whole country think there ought to be
a change in party and politics. They

through the Federal Government, and
that the Republican party should be
turned out and one put in to conduct
it on principles of honesty and justice
When the war closed, every one hoped
for the restoration of the South. For
several years, the Republican party
claimed they would restore it. but now
they say it is worse than ever before.
L want to see the South placed in the
hands of its own people, without the
aid of the gun and the bayonet, and
on the Democratic idea, that this is the

Anbhub.

About $50 persons, mostly oolored,
held disorderly meeting on Saturday
svening. in front Of the Central Bank.
Mr. r. 81. Gain was introduced by
Hampton Minis, but the rabble kept
mp such g clamor ee prevented his
speaking. Afterwards some local poll
jicians of the Nash and Minort school
made the attempt aud also failed.
There was settled purpose to hear
no one, the Nash men crying down the
Rinort spokesmen, and the Minort
S:ea returning the compliment to the
Mach advocates. There was o con-
siderable amount of bad blood and
bad whiskey. and flow of low abuse
an the crowd. This was the ''6erce
democratic" whose minds appear
slosed and Theoretically sealed in their
Ignorance and prejudice. Some OF the
Ssity Aldermen, it is said, encouraged
the disorder, and We observed white
man from neighboring County en-.
gagged in the same way. Cain might
have instructed these people, but they
seemed joined to their little idols and
devoted to their turbulence and noise.
How much better would it have been
to have listened to Cain attentiveiy,
and then put up one OF the best men,
white or black, on the other side. to
have answered him. These voters
*ou!d certainly have been in better
condition to appreciate the questions
N issue. better prepared to exercise
the duty OF voting intelIigently and
honestly next Tuesday, if they could
have had this advantage. As it was,
they bawlcd out against hearing any
one. Their mouths were open to de.
1ounce, while their minds were closed
to truth. Now all, without exception,
OF all colors and political creeds, pro-
:zess to desire good government, aud
except "honest" J. J. Patterson, pro-
less to believe that our State Govern
mens is rotten and corrupt from turret
20 foundation stone. The real ques-
.tion to discuss before the common
people, Is, which set Of men now
claiming their suffrages can best be
trusted with the duty of reform. which
can bring the CRATER power and will

AN OLD ISDIAN.-Pope Plus TX has
lately received from Santa Cruz, CAL,
through Cardinal Franchi, Prefect OF
the Propaganda, the photograph of an
Indian still living, who has reached the
age OF 1872 years. Beneath the picture
arc these words. written in Spanish by
the old man himself: II, Justiniano
Roxas. 122 years old, wish the most
holy Pope long years OF life." The
parish register OF Santa Cruz shows
that Roxas was baptized March /
1902. being at that time about forty
years Of age. He has always led an
exemplary life, still walks to mass on

staff, and asks the blessing Of the Pope,
