pretty unceremoniously, some severe criti-

Mr.. C. p. Culver said he was a member of

Mr.. Culver, continuing, said the chairman
OF tie jackson Association had been hOnored
as second In that programme, which was
emfnently proper, and the Jackson A Associa-

no personal ambition to control his action

the democratic party alone. Let the Tilden

VIEWS OF MR.. COLUMBUS ALEXANDER.
AiteT the adjournment Of the meeting, Mr..
tOlumous Alexander entered the room, and
after learning what action had been taken by
the Jackson Association, expressed his en-
tlre appreciation, and remarked that IL the
authorities entertained any idea of calling
out the military here, no pretext should be-
afforded through the democratic organiza-
tons. An attack by the colored people on
the line OF procession, the throwing OF
stones by indiscreet individuals into the pro-
eession would naturally create a disturbance
OF the peace, and q preteXt would be afforded
for military interference, and he didn't think
~ would require much of a pretext. Under
all the circumstances he thought the time in
oPportune for such a demonstration. The
results OF the election had not been declared,
and although they are all satisfied how the
case stands, and are sure that Tilden and
Hendricks were legally elected. IL had not
been conceded by the authorities and ir was
