The Commissioners, by the

ming from the indignant citizens

The occasion which brought them
together was the raising of
flag bearing the names Of the Re
publican candidates, James G.

Carson's Hotel. The Commits
sinners when asked permission
said 1t was .'too soon," and in re-
ply, Was told by that stalwart Re-
rublicin, Col. Perry Carson, that
1t was never "tOO soon" to fling
to the breeze AN American flag
bearing the names of Blaine and
Logan, AMI that he intended to
raise the flag and the Commission
ers might take it down. Atau early
hour Il squad Of policemen were
on hand, but their presence did
not intirnidate the stalwart Re-
publicans having the matter IN
hand, and the beautiful emblem
of liberty with the names of Blaine
and Logan swung to the breeze,
It's graceful folds yielding only to
the zephyrs wird of Heaven.

In. From Mr.. Brooks we look for
nothing, expect nothing in the
way of reform; he is joined to his
relatives and friends in the school,;
but to trustee Smith thepeople look
to bring the advanced grades to
a higher plane by placing teachers
in charge who are fully qualified
to teach the studies laid down IN
the course. Trustee Smith is a
young man of fine promise and
hopeful future, but if he allows
himself to be simply an appendix
to trustee Brooks he will find,
when its too late, that that great
egotist has swallowed not only
his present but his future. The

There has Eot been an argument
strong enough made to persuade
the colored vote from the republi-

this country ought to know that
the democratic party has always
been an enemy to progress and
civilization. Whenever the inter-

it is too we'll known that the dem

are men who, if elected, will carry

still lingering in their brains the

The meeting was presided over by
that stalwart Republican, Andrew

throughout, especially in adopting
the resolutions wherein the com
missiOners were arraigned for
their action in the appointment OF
Il school trustee. The Bee warn
ed the Commissioners that the
people would not approve their
action, and Commissioner West
who had charge of the matter has
again heard, in no uncertain sound,
the voice of the people, whom he
said he didn't scare Il damn for. "
Addresses Were made by several
distinguished speakers, and the
meeting adjourned with cheers
for Blaine and Logan. The fol-
lowing resolutions are those adopt
ed by the meeting:
WHEREAS, The Commissioners Of the Dis.
trict of Columbia have refused a respectful re-
quest for permission 10 raise a flag over PENN
sylvania avenue in honor of the candidates of
one of the great political parties of the eoun-
try, and
wHEREAssuch refu sal is in derogatiou ofthe
rights of the people pe,'ceably to assemble and
hang ont their banners: and plain violation of
Il custom of this District t, which by immem-
Orial usage has acquired the force of law, and
in authority.
THEREFORE BE IT REso LIVED. That the peo-
pie here assembled do complain and protest
against such refusal on the part of the Com
missoners to grant such permit, as not only
unreasonable and Oppres siye, but as a con-
tempt for one of the mos cherished, though |
unwritten. laws of thisIDistrict and of the |
American people, and
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED. That as good
citizens and lovers of American Institutions
We ought not voluntarily TO acquiesce in the |
nullitlcation or infringement of this right of
the people peaceably to assemble and hang
out their banners.
AND WHEREAS, The present District Com |
mssiuners have also abrogstted very proper
rule always observed by their predecessors,
which required at least one trustee to be ap-
pointed from each school division; and where |
as. said commissioners have appointed all |
the colored school trustees from one school |
division, and that division the one in which |
they themselves reside; and whereas, said |
have denied to the colored |
people of the eastern half of the District any |
whatever on the school board |
Therefore be it resolved, That in the opin-
ion of the people asSsu. BIZ, -c77.f 1cfior o,, T
