man in your Custom House. They did
make one q letter carrier once for q
month, but 1t was to make him cats

South the Democrats give the celorsd

A voioe-you mean November.
Harris-I said November (laughter)
and he'll make good President.
A voice-He'll never do it.
snow let me show you your rail-
roads," shouted the nervous John
Hieronymous. 'How many OF your
colored men are fremen and fires
trains through Delaware; how many
fires through Pennsylvania. How many
through Connecticut or New York or
Nevada or any other New Eng gland
state. In the South you would have
nearly all colored men. Here believe
you have one man who taps the car
wheels. Put q colored brakeman on
between here and Philadelphia and
he'd be knocked in the head before he
got to Old Chester. They would not
do that in the South.
The orator was now in the heat OF
oratorical passion, and urged on by old
OWENS applause he proceeded under
high pressure. He dared the Republi-
cans to stone him as at New Castle
He saroastically said it must have been
Southern Democrats who threw the
bricks. 1t wouldn't do to drive color
ed Democrats out. Let them alone.
A colored man-They will II they're
sensible.
"Its this way in the South" contin'
ued the speaker. "The Republicans
get a colored man to kill colored
Democrat because he won't vote their
ticket. Oh, yes They've got it now.
Go to the telegraph Office and send II
north that the Democrats killed q mig
ger because he voted the Republican
ticket. [Applause. They say Demo

This was the concluding part Of the
speech and it acted like wild fire on
tho Democrats, and loud applause was
given.
The orator now proposed three cheers
for Hancock and English. He raised
his paper and calculated chip, hip,
but he got no further, for not the least
movement was made to swell the
chorus, by the many Democrats pre-
sent, and the gawky fellow stood there
with q plantation grace, while a sniie
of sick amszement toyed with the wide
corners of his mouth and caused the
oscillation Of his long, capscious ears.
He then got down and passed his hat
around, while the colored men gather
ed by the door and gave three cheers
for Garfield.
After leaving the hall Harris was in
mortal terror lest he should be molested
and he was followed some distance BY
a crowd. No one laid finger on him,
however.
