Fayette County herald. [volume] (Washington [Washington Court House], Fayette County, O. [Ohio]) 1860-1???, 1878-09-26

this county, two of the most intelligent
and respectable cOlored men of this place
were placed npon the petit jury. There
were also Democrats on the jury. These
Democrats refused to sit on the jury with
colored men, and were fined by the Court
for refusing to serve, and the Democracy
made terrible howl because a couple of
'sniggers," as they called them, were put
in the iury-box. Now these Democrats,
on the eve of an election, are begging the
votes of the colored people They re-
garded it disgrace and Republican out
rage to place them on jury with White
men; but it has ceased to be disgrace to
have them vote the Democratic ticket.
= On Thursday evening last, Mr.. Geo.
W. Williams, of Cincinnati, made one
among the most able speeches at the Court
House in this place, that we have heard
during the present campaign. He paid
his compliments in no very fattering
terms to Democrats who are now feign-
ing such snch undying love for the col
Ored race, and warned the colored people
to be cautious of these false friends, who
had never, in any manner, given any as
sistance to the oppressed race. 1t occurred
TO us, while Mr.. Williams was speaking,
that it was little too late now that the
Republicans have freed the colored peO-
pie, made them citizens and handed them
the ballot to put in the box the same as
white men, for the Democrats, who op-
posed with all their vigor and their votes,
the extension of this rightOf freedom and
free men, to pretend friendship for the
coIored race, and beg for their votes.

Republican Speeches.
The Republican meeting at the Court
house, on Tuesday last, was one of great
| AOSO W al ." AO WOI0
to get into the house to hear. The house
was filed to its utmost capacity, many
being unable to get in.
Judge w. H. West made ole of the mos
argumentative and clear speeches on the
currency question, and the principles anC
policy of the Republican party, we havt
ever listened to, giving reasons that can
not be successfully rcontroverted why tn,
Republicans should be continued in pow
er. Hon. II. S. Bundy, of jackson coun
ty, being present, was loudly called for
and though being called upon for
speech, without previous consultation
responded to the call in clear and abl
speech. His illustrations and their appIi
cation was. fit. and timely. His speecl
was, of course, impromptu, but it wa
one that was highly appreciated by TIN
audience, and one that had a good effec
upon his hearers. When he conclude,
his remarks, Gen. John Beatty, of Co
lumbus, was loudly called for, and no ex
cuse on his part would suffice. He re
sponded to the call in his earnest, abI
and patriotic style, in 10 or 20 min
, utes speech. The General is a lively ant
efficient speaker, and has the power t
D infuse life and energy in his audience
e He spoke to very large audience in Aca6
| emy Hall, in Bloomingburg, on Thurs
f day evening.
