Mr. EprT0R: An enthusiastic edu-
catioTal meeting on the prospective
site OF the Walker McElmoyle College,
was held to day, Wednesday, tho
10Th ult. It was agreed some weeks
ago by the Trustees to take the ini-
tlatlVe steps towards establishing ON
institution on the grounds donated
by the late Mrs. Eleanor Walker for
that purpose, by fixing a day for q
basket dinner, and inviting the friends
OF education to come together Oh the
contemplated college site near the
Double Branches, and listen to
speeches favoring the enterprise, in
augurated by the bequest of above
mentioned noble hearted, christian
lady.
Accordingly, the 26th of August
was the day fixed for the meeting.
Notwithstanding the busy time in
the way of gathering and saving
fodder, n large crowd of all the best
people in the community, Indies and
gentlemen assembled on the ground
at an early hour, where a speakers
stand had been erected, and seats
arranged for the audience. The
number i'll attendance Of the best
people in the country, was itself an
earnest OF success to the cause which
had brought them together. Speech
es were made before dinner bv
Messrs. Russell, McLeos, Ansel, Lake
and Taylor.
About one hour and q half was
spent in partaking of the most boun-
tiful and elegant basket dinner, fur
nished by the ladies in the communi-
ty, and i'll conversation. After dinner
speeches were made by Messrs. Muir
ray OF Anderson and Riley of Pickons.
The speeches of the occasion all ten
ded to one practical point, the impor-
tance of action on the part of the cit
liens of the neighborhood, in the wav

Some Shoes fit pretty tight,
But never pinch good honest men

Now come on and see the Shoes.
Bound to fit, wont hurt your toes,
Nearly all kinds, at all prices,
And some of the very incest
And never failed to fit but once.
This is the way the story runs;
A man came in with feet like blocks,
Could't wear Shoes but took the box.
When he went out he made n noise
To attract attention of the boys,
And this is what he said:
Stand back dead beats,
Go in your den,
And leave room for honest men,
Men who pay their debts,
Rich and poor, oil who need it,
And haven't the cash can get credit

And guarantee fit for all,

A FRAUDULENT CLAIM.
The Old Story Rehashei by Republican
Campaign Orators.

The Old Story RehasheI by Republican
Campaign Orators.
The alleged suppression of the South
ern colored vote has long been favor
tie subject of complaint with those who
formulate the campaign issues of the
Republican party. Elections in that
sect on have been habitually repre-
scented, year after year. as having been
carried by the Democrats by gross vio-
latiOnS OF the right of suffrage. attended
with personal violence and bloody out
RACES of which colored Republicans
were the victims.
Although this had got to be an old
story, which even as far back as 1876
had lost its freshness, it was persistently
brought into use at each recurring
election, and this year it is doing serv-
ice again, especially in Ohio, appearing
among the assortment of sectional is
sues with which the Republican lead
erS are trying 10 excite the voters of
that unfortunate October State. The
BourbOfis who are managing the cam
paign out there are endeavoring to
make what they call Southern outrages
leading feature of the contest.
They are engaged in this preposterous
business at time when the general
improvement observable in the South is
due more to the way in which the cleo
tions in that region have resulted in
recent years than to any other intlu-
ence. The material prosperity of the
South commenced to revive when its
substantial and intelligent citizens per-
petratei the outrage of supplanting the
political influence of desperat, advent
urers who usei the negro vote rs the
means by which they were enabled to
plumber the Southern people.
1t is not little astonishing that the
politicians who employ these stale cleo
ton devices should be unable 10 see
that they are no longer of any account
1t should by this time occur to them
that popular interest is just now en-
listed in matters of less ancient date.
There was tine when negro suffrage
at the South was a momentouS qucs-

not the fairest section of the country
should be bhghted by the rule of ras-
cality combined with ignorance re-

great Importance But since it has
been decided in way that has secured
the South from such a terrible evil, and
peace and prosperity prevail in that
section. the people are taking no fur

piled to the North as Well as the
South.
In answer to Senator Sherman's &C
cusation that the Republican vote in
the South has been suppressed, it has
been shown that ip sixteen Southern
States Hayes had 1,11O,30S votes,
Garfield, 1,066, 905 and Blaine 1862
971, showing large increase of Re-
publican votes. To this the Chicago
Tribune objects that in nine States OF
the sixteen-more than half-there
has been no well-organized attempt
to suppress the colored VOTE" and,
therefore. in those States the Repub.
lican vote has increased. But "Ala-
bama, which gave Grant 90.272, gave
Blaine 80, Al; Louisiana, which gave
1868 for Grant gave Blaine 46, 347;
Mississippi, which gave 82,175 for
Grant, gave Blaine 43, 500; and South
Carolina. which gave y, 290 for Grant,
gave Blaine 81, Here are nearly
l50,O0 votes gone in four States alone.
In Florida, also at least forty per
cent. of the Republican vote was not
polled in 1884. The votes suppressed
in these five States would have elected
Mr. Blaine President"
If the falling off of the Republican
vote in those States shows that 1t was
suppressed" the fall NO off OF the DEM
ocratic vote in the same States shows
that the Democratic vote was sup
pressed also. In Louisiana even the
Republicans allowed Tilden in 1876 TO-
51S votes while Cleveland received only
62,540. In South Carolina Tilden had
90,S95, Cleveland but $3.50. In
Mississippi Tild N received 112. 173 in
1876 while Cleveland had but $3.50.
In Alabama Tilden received 102. 900.
Cleveland only 92,975, making a total
loss of 74,30 Democratic votes which
the Republicans suppressed.
If the Republican vote was ''sup-
pressed" in the South it must, accord
ing to the Republ. can mode of reason
ing have been suppressed" in the
North also In the four States of Hi
nois, Massachusetts, Michigan and
New York Tlden received 1.O26, 422
votes; Cleveland ]. 49, 15, being a gain
of 161. 293 votes. Hayes received /, U99,-
O}6; Blaine, 1,23S.o being a gain of
only 139, 76S. The Republican gain
was less than the Democratic gain,
