The meeting Of Republicans held
last evening 70 protest against the
manner In which they are again being
disiranchised, was well attended, and
the manner In which the rernarks Of
the speakers were received, shows that
the people are very tired Of this ras-
cality, aud not disposed 10 tolerate II

by the respectable portion Of the
Democratic party, AZ well ~ by every
Republican in this city. We do not
believe that an opportunity will be
given to pay taxes this week, but II
there Is. every Republican that can
possibly do so should be on hand and
compel the collectors TO receive bis tax,

The Democrats themselves arc be.
coming weary Of the Tascality OF the
political iricksters, who year af(sr
year disfranchise hundreds Of our best
citizens, and the organ Of that party
speaks a. follows On this matter:
Can't the collectors, or Lsvy Court
man 0fubb, or whoever Ia responsible for
IL, get II into bis or their he ads that not
only Republican,, but some mighty good

hnAncierinR, but poor politics."
The people are getting very tired OF
this rascality, and the respectable p0r
tion OF tho Democratic party know
that II cannot but act az a boomerang,
which will insure their defeat. Tho
actions OF the ASSESSORS at tho City
lfhll In 1858, who, however, were
urged on by the same political trick
sters that are now running the ma
chine, one OF whom ID at present u
county tax collector, secured the cleo.
ton OF Republican Mayor, and their
present actions will do more to injufe
the Democratic party than anything
else.
But aside from this these collectors
are injuring the county by their actions
and perjuring themselves. We be-
lieye that they take an obligation TO
faithfully perform the duties of the
Office, which they are not doing when
they neglect or refuse to receive the
taxes Of every man whose name Ii on
their duplicates. These duplicates
were ready almost week ago. and the
collectors have no valid excuse why
they are not receiving the taxes. 1t
may be well Tor them To understand
that the people, whose servants they

Appleby's Hay Market.

II has now been about 10 years since
David Appleby started the business OF
selling hay ia this city. The hay market
at that time was at Fourth aud French
streets. He then brought In one wagon
load OF hay each market day. AS trade
increased he got another driver aud drove
second team. From this his trade In
creased TO such an extent that he was
compelled to quilt driving himself, and
went Into the regular hay commission
business. The market was then removed
from Fourth and French TO Fourth and
Orange streets. aud every market day
Appleby'a loads OF the beat New Castle
county timothy aud clover could be
found standing ut that place for sale.
Being personally on hand TO walt UPON
his customers, nobody was dlsappolnttd
aud his hay market grew into popular
institution. But now the Street aud
Sewer Commissioners have got tired Of
seeing great loads OF hay In the open
streets and have given the order to vacate,
and Mr.. Applcby has been compelled TO
search out other quarters for hls popular
hay market.
He has been so fortunate as TO find the
quarters that exactly suit him on a lot
owned by Jones Guthrie, over Market
street bridge. Tue lot 10 400 fec. la
length, 90 feet Wide at the entrance, but
at tho rear it is 100 feet wide. Mr..
Guthrie is now erecting hay sheds on II
and preparing IL for occupancy. A pair
Of Fairbanks scales viii be put In the
yard, and every facility will be provide
for ilrstclahs hay market. Mr.. Appleby
IA looking forward to only short time
when grain market will be established
at the same place. lie says that the
statement that he was going to have his
hay market In any other place than Mr..
Guthries lot was an error. He will re-
move TO his new market on the let OF
June, and hopes his patrons will be as
ready to patronize him in the new market
as they were in the old.

business III this city in 1882, and has met with
great success. He has been a close observer Of
the values Of real estate in the different Sec
tions OF the city, particularly in the north and

so correct that many Of the largest and most
profitable investments have been made through
him. He has been more closely identified with
Columbia Heights than any other subdivision
around Washington, having had the sale of this
property since 1t was first placed on the market
by Senator Sherman. He has been interested
in nearly all the large purchases adjoining
Washington, and has been instrumental in in
ducing the large amount Of foreign capital to
locate in Washington.
He was one of the promoters and is part owner
Of the Atlantic building, and has made other
investments in business property on F street,
which he intends to hold. He was one of the
organizers and has since been director in the
