Upon reaching the hall DR.. j. W. Gill
more was appointed chairman and j. W.
Beard secretary of the meeting. Senator
Delamater was introduced and made short
address, in which he said: 'From my e4-
perience during the past week, and particu-
larly from what have seen and learned,
there is no doubt but that the Republican
| party is still alive and enthusiastic in ALLIE
| gheny county. I know that bright spark
kindled in the hearts of the true citizens 25
years ago is still burning. I am
not feeling extra well this even
ing and consequently will not burden
you with long speech. You all, no doubt,
have heard the news from Maine. The re-
election of that noble man for Congress-
Thomas B. Reed, shows what a great one
the Republican party is. This country
should be ruled by majorities.
BEARER OF GOOD TIDINGs.
"I bring to you this evening the good news
that there is no truth in the statement that
the Republican party will be beaten this
fall. In not only Allegheny especially, but
all other counties you will hear of the splen-
did result in favor of our party next Novem-
har - g. 4bo
it has adhered to the very same principles
adopted 25 years ago. I thank you for the
reception rendered me tonight. 1 come to
you representing that grand party which
has done so much Tor you in the past. l
thank God that the same inspiration that
inspired Abraham Lincoln is still in the
Republican party"
Colonel Andrew E. Stewart, candidate for
Congress from the Twenty-fourth Congress
sional district, addressed the people for a
few minutes in regard to his candidacy for
said: 81 feel sure that I am going to
get there. I feel that it is going to come,
and will try and put my brain to work so
that 1 will please the people"
"Broad-Ax" Smith, who always happens
to be around, said: 81 thought would
just drop in and give the meeting little
coioring. Let me tell you this, if the white
Republicans stick as close 20 the party as
most of the cclored people do, we would not
have to be troubled with people Topping.
HIS THREE PRIDEs.
"However, there are few colored people
who went over to the Democratic side to be
fooled. There are three things pride N.Y.
self in. The first is that I am black, the
second that am Methodist and the third !
and best that 1 am Republican. 1 have
known Senator Delamater ever since he was
born, and knew his father long before he
did, so you see know who I am speaking
of. The Democratic party is great one for
reform. Democrats tell me they wish
would get out of here because can control
the colored people of the county May the
Lord let me live at least as long as the
Democratic party lives. 1 am not talking
for an Office, would not take anything un-
den the Presidency but hitch me up for that
Office and see how fast I run. But /
can't be President II is much more possi- |
ole for me to turn white. 1 would not let |
black Democrat sleep in my hencoop-at |
least if thera was chicken there. 1 eat |
three square meals day and have clear |
conscience"
Assistant Postmaster Edwards, of the
Pittsburg postofice, delivered the closing
address. He spoke for few minutes in re-
gard to Governor Pattison's record as COM |
