A Colored Revolt on Paper That Never
Occurred and Cannot Be Found-An
Emphatic Denial.
The program for the Dayton con.
vention gave list OF the local commit
tees, and also the Democratic state cen.
tral committee. The Townsend gang
took occasion to slap E. J. Dowdall in
making up the program. Mr.. Dow.
dali is the regularly elected committee.

his name is omitted from the list, q
blank being put in to represent the
gangs disgust for Mr.. Dowdall, who
had the courage to expose Town
sends questionable financial methods
Mr.. Dowdall is delegate from his ward
to the convention.
The reporters and correspondents for
Democratic papers have recently drawn
on their immaginations for an account
Of IN alleged revolt among the colored
Republicans. The articles appeared
simultaneously in Cincinnati, Cleveland
and Columbus, which is evidence that
they wero manufactured to order at the
instance of some of the leaders. Ac.
cording to the published statements,
the colored voters have held meetings in
Columbus and other cities to organize
against Governor Foraker and the entire
Republican ticket. An attempt is made
to give the details Of some of the gath
erings in the elaborate articles. In fact,
one not acquainted with the methods OF
the Bourbon literary bureau would be
led to believe that the colored voters are
In open rebellion, and that the entire
vote would be cast solidly against the
Republican ticket.
There is. however, singular omission
in connection with the publications,
None of the articles give the names of the
colored mon taking part in the meetings,
and diligent inquiry among the oolored
people of this city fails to develop any
foundation whatever for the statements.
So far the name Of only one man. that
Of Mr.. Walter 8. Thomas, has been
mentioned. Mr.. Thomas has for the
past two years been journal clerk of the
senate, is an aotive Republican, and
docs not hesitate to denounoe as false
the assertion that there is an organiza-
ton Of colored voters in this city,
whose purpose it is to aid in defeating
the party at the November election.
Referring to the matter Mr.. Thomas
said: II hardly think that any one in
Ohio or elsewhere, who knows me, will
doubt for moment my Republicanism.
am Republican from principle, and
not one for the sake OF the loaves and
fishes. ! do not believe that any friend
OF mine is member Of such an organi-
zation, neither do I believe that the
colored men are foolish enough to band
themselves together a. indicated, and

Bishing was shot twice at Gettysburg,
his wounds being ugly ones, n bullet
shattoring an arm and another entering
near his right thigh. This occurred
near the bloody angle, and not far from
the spot on which the regimental mon
ument stands. As soon rs he received
the wounds he set TO work TO bury his
muslset. He fell near n big rock, and,
though suffering great pain and bleod-
ing profusely, he managed to scoop out
enough dirt at the base OF the bowlder
TO slip his musket into the excavation.
Aftcrward he carefully covered II and
wondered whether he would ever see II
again.
Bishing accompanied tho surviving
members OF his old regiment, the Fifty
third Pennsylvania Volunteers, TO Get
tysburg on the occasion Of tho dedica-
ton OF their monument. While there,
Bishing, accompanied by several old
comrades, started out to look for tho
musket he had buried over twenty-six
years before. The bloody angle was
easily found, and he soon distinguished
the huge bowldcr at whose base he had
fallen, and where he had hidden the
gun. 1t took but a few moments to dig
the earth up, when, to his JOY, he struck
the old musket and quickly resurrected
It, IL had the appearance OF Rip Van
Wrinkles fowling piece. The stock had
fallen apart, but was still in good
state Of preservation. The barrel was
bound about with thick coat OF rust,
and the lock and other portions were
in the same condition. But Bish.ng
lifted the old musket tenderly, nd. as
the recollections OF the past filled his
mind, he kissed 1t with the enthusiasm
OF father who has found long-lost
child. Bishing brought the musket to
Wilkesbarre this afternoon. He says
he is poor, but no money will buy the

ing at length OF his public spirit and
high integrity, Mr.. Cleveland said:
''But while we thus contemplate
the value Of unselhsh public
usefulness, we cannot refrain from
the reflection which has u sombre col

times when we may justly and fairly
exalt the memory OF a deceased public
servant because he was true and hon

maintaining a safe standard to public
duty when the existence Of these vir-

Of the truth that II we were to secure

A Mexico, Mo-, special says: The
barns OF John Savinets, Rev. p. Is.
Cassill, State Senator Ruby'and John
Wright were burned together with their
contents. The residences in each case
were saved with difficulty. The fires
were undoubtedly incendiary, ms short
ly after midnight the police surprised
the incendiries at their work in the
barns OF Col. Williams and DR.. Miller.
This attempt TO burn the town is sup
posed to result from the arrest and
conviction last week OF several mem
bers OF band of negro burglars who
are believed to be seeking revenge.
Extra police were put on guard. The
citizens are greatly excited over The
occurrence OF fires and there is plain
talk OF lynching the incendiaries should
they be apprehended.
