The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1884-07-23


Mr. George William Curtis still keeps
insisting, as in the last number Of Harp-
ers Weektg, that the reasons why the In
dependents cannot support Blaine Is be
cause of his corrupt record and general
bad character. Yet in March last Mr..
Curtis wrote to Mr.. Kitzmiller of Gets
burg, Pa, in answer to letter inquring
as to the political situation in New York,
as follows -
"The Independents of New York hold
the balance of power and no man more
obnoxious to them than Mr.. Blaine could
be nominated for the Presidency The
principal reason for this is the strong tol-
tosoing he has IN Pennsylvania. The
Independents are nti-protection, and who.
ever we elect must be for revenue reform.
Neither Blame, Arthur nor Logan can
carry New York"
1t will be seen by this that Mr.. Cur
lis places his refusal to support Mr..
Blaine upon the ground that he Is in
favor of Protection, while Mr.. Curtis and
his Independent sympathizers arc anti
protection. All his talk now about ire
form, purity of character &C., is
an afterthought. 1t is the merest pre-
tence, the baldest hypocrisy, and the
very changes which the Independents are
bringing against Mr.. Blaine are the ones
which Mr.. Curtis himself, before they be.

Thomas Morris, gigantic colored man,
has begun suit at Paterson against
Cooper u Hewitt, for balance OF wages,
which he claims amounts to $226. Morris
married q German wife in Germany two
years ago, and engaging to come to Amer
lea, Messrs Cooper Il Hewitt's superin-
tendent advanced tho money to bring the
couple and a valuable trunk from Europe
and Norris has since worked in the Ring
wood iron mines. The trunk has been
held by the superintendent since then I'M
til the money advanced shall have been
repaid. Morris is uneducated, but his
wife speaks German, English, French and
Spanish. For many years Morris was
exhibited in Europe and this country as
"wild Zulu" He was confined in a
huge iron cage, in which he stormed and
raved at the frightened audiences. He
fed on raw meat 10 the sight of the spec
tators. and would gnaw and tear furiously
at chickens tossed into his cage, sucking
the blood, and making terrible fuss
generally, as was supposed to become an
uncivilized Zulu. Later he posed as the
strong man. lifting immense weights,
and giving other exhibitions OF his
strength.
