out Of the way place where il has
been lying and accommodating rust for
four years. The Republicans were so
confident Of elccting their candidate,
for city marshal last week that, as
one of their colored orators said, they
"onspiked the old cannon to make
music" ON Monday night. Things
however didn't exactly pan out in &C
cordance with their figures and smart

They built bon.iires on the streets,
and brought out the old "piece" and
planted her on the back end OF a

She was heavily loaded and with a
red hot iron oil enthusiastic Demo

gun startled the natives iuihe suburbs

people living five miles in the coun-

The colored people are beginning
to think and act for themselves.
Many of them who have heretofore
affiliated with the Republicans, voted
the straight Democratic ticket. All
honor TO them for this. II is said
that They were threatened in every
conceivable way with ostfscism from
their social circles and expulsion
from their churches. but they had the
msnliness to vote their sentiments
regardless Of consequences. At The
closing Of the campaign Saturday
night the Republicans lost many votes
by attempting to bulldozc the Demo-
crGtic negroes by blowing out the
lights and refusing TO allow them to
answer the speeches Of tho Republi'
can negroes. This made them more
determined than ever and they not
only voted but worked for the Dem
ocratlc ticket.
