Springfield globe-republic. (Springfield, Ohio) 1884-1887, 1885-09-27

Charley Wecker, the Irish comedian of this
city, is determined TO 20 ALVIN Joslin one
better in the diamond business For his next
tour he is going to wear as an ornament Il
hen, get with diamonds.
Although DR.. Leouards great efort at
Cincinnati, during conference week, took
plsce some weeks ago. the papers in the state
do not seem ss yet TO have got hold Of an in
cidept which occurred at that meeting, and
which must be characterized as one OF the
most wildly humorous occurrences which
have ever taken place in the course Of Ohio
politics. On the evening set for Leonard's
debut in Cincinnati, Mr.. Jas. Boyle, Dr..
Leonard's ayenginp nemesis, was commis-
stoned by the managing editor Of the Com
metcial Gazette TO take a Photographic
repor, OF the speech, and describe the meet
ing. Boyle arrived on the scene and took
his seat at the press tables before DR.. Leon
ard arrived. Now il seems that Dr. Leonard
doesn't know Boyle from Adam. Conse-
quently when he arrived, he little knew that
his aforesaid nemesis was sitting within a
few feet, with his b'isterng pencil ready
sharrened tor the fray. The speech COM
menced Soon Dr.. Leonard was waving his
arms like a windmill IN a cyclone, and
hosrEely predicting the dow ntall OF the re-
publican party.
Thea he spit on his hands, metsphorically
speaking, and proceeded to tackle the corre-
spondeuts OF the C.-G The writer of this ar
tiCle he denounced to the hungry multitude
ss a talsfer, and added in parenthesis that he
knew he was a f4sifer. Then he wound
himself up to his tull height aud trumpeted
forth withering blast against "B-other
Boyle" He denounced him as a"wolf," who
had come 10 Springfield and tried to diYide
the congregation OF Central church. His ti-
raaes against Mr.. Boyle grew so bitter that he
grew fearful hat unless he found something
to hold on to, he would become inflated with
rage, and 60 ssiIing up into the skies as il in
chai lot of f-e. He therefore looked about
him for a support and seeing in the broad
friendly shoulders of Mr.. Boyle the most
available support in sight, he promptly
availsi himself of it, and actually rested hi,
hand on Mr.. Boyle's shoulder, and leaned
against him, while he denounced him as a
liar, a volt, and various other geological ami
mails. Who would ever have dreamed that
Mr.. Boyle would thus become a supporter OF
DR.. Leonard! What scene in comedy could
be tunnier than DR.. Leonard leaning on Bro
Boyle, calling him "wot," ii not to his face
at least behind his back? Boyle was SO
diverted with the extraordinary humor of
the whole affair, that be could with
difficulty restrain himself from bursting out
into uncomfortable laughter. "Do you know
who that was you were leaning against"
asked friend to Dr. Leonard after the speech
"No,' said the doctor, "who?' "Jim Boyle"
was the reply. Tableau.l
Dave Wilhorn has Just returned from the
Lexington fair, whittier be conducted an eI-
cursion OF Springfield and Xenia colored pso T..
pie. The excursion was great success, "
said he "sbOut 100 colored people went from
Springfield. The fair was magnificent, es.
pecslly the departments OF blooded horses.
Uncle jim Buford OF Springfield, was one of
the judges. The way colOred people are
treated in Kentucky gava the exCursionists
a good lesson. They are treated like dogs in
Lexington. | and three OF the Springfield
excursiouists were standing on the street cor
ner, when a hre-eating southerner came up,
and pushed us, and said; Hello, niggers-
G. d you" An insult to n colored man
is not considered an insult at all. Ga the
trains of the Kentucky Central, the colored
people are forced to ride in the smoking
cars. The treatment Of colored people there
and here differ as nigh, from day"
1t is proposed that the agents of the Bee
Line and Pan Handle settle their little dis
pute by duel with mogul engines at zoe
yards. Let them start al full speed, and the
one that reaches the other before the other
reaches him, will be declared the winner.
The effects of the plug hat excursion will
be more tar-reaching than many suppose.
The route of the Bee line from here to Gin
cinnati lies through some of the most thick
| ly settled portions of Ohio. Think of the
moral effect of thirty coaches, decorLn with
the hues of reputlcanism, and filed with con-
! densed enthusiasm, laundering along in three
sections between two eighty-mile lines OF
wondering farmers, to say nothing OF the e1-
ecuion the brigade will do in Cincinnati
against that most malignant OF republican
foes-General Apathy, Esq.
