been announced that Hon. John S. Wise
and Ex-Governor Cameron would speak.
CAN'T CONE N.
There we're exactly fifty-nine men pres
ent. Five negroes stood down NJ the cor
ner and cast longing glances at the ITO
them forbidden ground.
One colOred man was so bold rs 10 mount
the stairs and stand on the threshold OF
the ante-room, but no notice whatever was
taken Of him.
BUSINESS.
At 500 o'clock President w. s. Dashiiell
called the meeting TO order, and NUMBER

with.
WISE AND CAMERON.
inst one hour later (9.2O) Messrs. Wise
and Cameron entered the room ana were
received with applause.
At this juncture motion was mace 10
allow number of colored men in waiting
to come in. IT failed. But the Chairman
told the Sergeant-at-Arms to admit the pa
tlent waiters. and nineteen negroes hled IN
III the wake Of the two visitors.
DANGEROUS.
Mr.. Wise opened by comparing Malone
to that very dangerous element fire.
Fire" be said is a good thing IN lts
ploco. IL Is very nice to sit in front OF
fireplace and enjoy the pleasant heat. but
whom it gets out Of bounds and bids fair to
destroy my property get water and put II
ont.
PURITICATION.
The Republican party in both Pennsyl-
vnnin and New York had several years ago
become very corrupt. Packed conventions
were the order Of the day at Albany and
the Cameron lash tried to whip the
PENNSYLVANIA Republicans into line.
FINALLY the better element of the party pre-
vailed. and at the last election both States
gave good Republican majorities.

A BAD GESEEAL.
Eight wears ago was elected, and Ma
hone has never Won "A battle since. Mhat
is General Malone doing at the head OF the
party anyhow;
No government would hesitate 10 put
ont a man who has never won battle.
Like Napoleon. he lAiahone) mas ruined
every man who ever trusted him"
Governor Cameron concluded by warn
inc his hearers that if Mah0ne was elected
his friends (the antis) could expect no
thing from him.
afr. DAsHIELL.

For long time Russell had been collec-
tor of customs and Fisher his head depu;;
