Judging from the meeting complained Of at
Wellington and the subjoined article from the
Odessa Democrat, free speech is not what
republicans really desire IA number of the
'whippers-m'of the republican party olOdessa
and vicinity, after it was made known that
Prof. Bush, a colored man was to speak at
the opera house In favor of the democratic
party, commenced Monday morning to in
duce the colored voters of Odessa to stay
away from the speaking. They followed up
this most questionable mode of electioneer-
ing all day, and at night stationed themselves
In front of the building where the speaking
was to take place and did their best to keep
them from going into the opera house while
Bush was speaking. A lumber were thus
turned away and q number more would have
been but for the timely interference OF a few
prominent democrats who demanded non
interference with the wishes of any who
wished to hear the speech. From the above
1t will be seen that these ~oficious republicans
only exempliied the true animus OF the party
of free speech, a free press and a free ballot.
These catch.words have been long dInned
into the ears of the people. But anyone con-
versant with the history of the republican
party since its advent in 1855 into the political
arena have known these fine phrases to be a
| delusion and q snare. II we have been cor
rectly informed as to the name Of one of the
men engaged in this bulldozing business. we
saw this same man some years ago refuse 9
place on the registration list, to men who
had been in the state for fifty years and over
men who never in their lives committed d
crime; men who had never raised a hant
against law; men who found this country
wilderness and helped to make it the desira'
BILE country it is; men who were denied TIT
birthright of freemen-the right to vote-th'
right to say who the law u should be
and who should be the Ak gatherers. Th'
acts of the men who tried to render ii failur'
q democratic meeting by such ie%prehensibl
means has created no good feeling in Odessa
on the contrary it has engendered a very ba'
feeling toward those engaged in the business
If the parties engaged in the enterprise wi
r. fleet Il little they may deduce theretrom
lesson that will in the future be of some ben
eft to Them"
