One of the smallest things that
have yet taken place in this cam
paign was the unnecessary and un.
provoked insult to General Ma
hone by the colored men who took
part in Mr.. Langstor's reception
procession on Thursday night.
They went to General Mahone's
residence on Market ST., and halt
ed, played the ''Dead March" start
ed off a lot Of fire crackers, and
hissed, grOaned, and jeered. Now
they would not have gone to Mr..
Venable's, Mr.. Nc Kenney's nor Mr..
Golfers residence and behaved
thus. It is left for them to insult
the man who has dared to face the
opprobrium and defied the hatred
of democracy that the Negro might
have say in the affairs of State.

of politics? We warn our people
