to-day. DR.. Hines, reporter for the Nd-
tion0t Repubiicdn, Mahone's Washington
paper was on hand 10 report the speeches
for the Boss. The crowd was not as large
as | have seen on similar occasions. Quite
a large number OF Democrats were present.
The speeches were the same old thing

what the great Liberal party is doing for

just before the meeting adjourned DR..
Wise called on all in favor OF Wise and
Libby TO hold up their hands; then all OPP
posed do the same, when, to his astonisb-
mcnt no doubt, some thirty colored men.
who had heard all the speeches and could
not be converted to Bossism, held up their
hands in favor OF Dawson and Dezendorf.
The Doctor grew very angry at this. and
pointed at one fellow whom he said had
promised him to vote for his brother. The
white speakers then left the stand, and
Tim Edloc, Norton a. Co. took charge.
Edloe can always be counted on for a very
bitter speech which is well applauded by
the white Coaltionists. lie said he had
"a engagement TO speak at the Halfway
House, ON the York road, tonight, but in-

other colored speakers, had erected a stand
on the courthouse green and addressed
