and elected u Democratic repro

was II puzzling paradox. How the

no speeches. On tho morning of
tho election, just previous to tho
opening of tho polls, II man Oh

precinct in tho county, called up
tho colorod voters and addressed
them substantially as follows
"UEIhow-C -CIr1zENs-I como to

but a few words, and these will be
especially directed to you coloYed

the dusly crowd.
"Who fought for you four years
and took you from the bonds Of

"Grant! Grant! General Grant!"
again tho shout went up.
"Then, here arc Grant tickets +

"Givc Inc dc Grant ticket! Give

by one Of those sudden transports
OF enthusiasm which have seized
upon men in crowds in all clines
and ages, and to which tho negro
race is peculiarly susceptible, the
coloIed voters caught at the
"Grant' ballots, rushed to tho
