amidst loud cheers He accused the Demo

the voters, driving capital out of the state,
taking away the chastity OF females in in
sane asylums and being utterly unable to
deal with the public debt question. Touch
ing the negro question, he said: "The un-
manly cover under which the Democratic
managers have misled public thought and
have melted ungovernsble apprehension has
been pretended concern for the safety of
our clvihzarion-the fear of domination
of our affairs by the colored man
ami under that cover they have
led too many honest and honorable
men to acquiesce in the most shameful out
RACES upon popular government"

The admirers and owners of eats in Cam

Dime circus is in Camden with a tent fun
of wild animals.
The manager has discovered an incxpcn-
siyC food for his beasts live cats which
costs considerably less than fresh meat.
The managers mode of securing the cats
is TO offer small boys a ticket to the show
for every cat brought Ia him. The Cam
den small boy, as soon a. he learned of the
circus mans offer, started out with bag
on his back to catch cats, and the back
alleys have been full of these juvenile
hunters. After being brought To the cir
Gus the cats are stored away until dinner
time, when they are thrown into the cages
of the hungry tigers and lions.
