We are doing good action in coming out
and assisting in the election of Robert Z. Patti
son as Governor. Applause But before

friend. Friendship is all in all in this world,
and must nor forget my friend W. J. Bremen.

and free i'll speech. lApplausel
Daniel Washington, secretary of the
Barclay Club, was introduced and made
quite an interesting talk, and told an ap-
propriate story Once in the South a man
and his colored servant went out hunting,
and flock o: ducks was shot into. Three
were KILLED and two lEmed. The servant
started after the dead ones, and his master
told him to secure the lame ones before they
got away. The speaker said the Republican
party considered the colored men dead
ducks" and paid no attentionito them, but
looked after the other votes, thinking that
the negroes would vote ali right anyway.
But they are mistaken this year, added the
speaker.
Thomas Wilson, the next speaker, made n
strong argument in favor OF the colored men
becoming independent. Hon. w. H Hol-
land, of Springfield, O., followed in an ad-
dress in which he said the Republicans had
worked against the negroes in voting down
the Blair educational bill, which aimed to
educate the colored man and make him in
tellectually the equal of the white.
Captain S. J. Wilkinson said, when in
trOduced: Il never was slave and never
wore collar and l never will wear Quav's
collar" He continued in an address On the
questions of the campaign. and said that
there are colored men ID Allegheny county
who will vote for Pattison, but who are
afraid to come out and show their coiors.
William Hanger began his spreech with
the declaration: 81 am a Democrat. I"
which brought out the applause of the
house. He then talked of the rapid increase
Of the colored Democrats. The last speaker
WAS J. Fields.

A FORTUNATE ESCAPE.

Two Ladies' Thrown From Their Carriage

The stupidity of colored driver nearly
caused Mrs. Scaife and another lady serious
injury at o'clock yesterday evening, at the
Postoffice corner. The ladies were being
driven down Fifth avenue in barouche,
which attempted to pass in front of wagon
coming up Smith6elG street. The pole oi
the wagon struck the carriage and over.

to the ground.
Officer Charley Grimes ran at once to their
assistance. and probably saved them from
being hurt by the struggling horse. The
ladies were not severely injured, and re-
turned home in another carriage. The driver
was clearly in fault in attempting to ross
where there was not room.

COST OF LIVING GONE UP.
Some Restaurant Keepers Advance Their
Schedule of Prices.

Some Restaurant Keepers Advance Their
Schedule of Prices.
"When did you raise your prices?" asked
q customer of a waiter at a leading restaur-
ant in Pittsburg, as he glanced at his bill
and noticed he was paying more for his
chops than usual.
ga few days ago, sir, was the reply. 81
suppose you know the cost of living has
gone up The crops have failed, and the
prices of fruits, vegetables of all kinds and
meats have advanced.
AT the cheaper eating houses, where guam
tity and not quality is the rule, the
rates remain the same, but the proprietors
make up the difference by giving less. The
hotels have not changed their prices but
they all acknowledge that it costs more to
keep guest to-day than it did year ago.
With hotel men..the average for the year does
not prevail. Ii the crops are poor this year
they will be good next season, and the profits
will right themselves. Not so with the
restaurant keeper, whose trade is fuctuating
and depends on circumstances.

but brass band played Rally Round the
Flag" and other patriotic airs, and kept the
audience in good humor. The managers
had the satisfaction of knowing that though
there had been larger Republican meetings
in Braddock, they had last night big
representation of Independents and Demo-
Gratis, who heard the political gospel ac-
cording to Humphries and Hastings. The
distinction in the attendance was,
in the main, as distinctly marked
as are the waters of the Allegheny and
Monongahela rivers just above their con-
fuence; Republicans in front and the oppo-
stion in the rear as shown by the wave lines
of applause. Some over-plumb Democrat
kicked up a little row in the rear
at one time and got himself elected for his
trouble.
Hon. Miles S. Humphries spoke first He
said there had been no attempt at argument
offered by the Democracy except
by ex-senator Wallace. The plat
form was made up of vituperation.
In conclusion Mr.. Humphries switched of
onto the tariff question and said that in what
Democrats demanded-home rule, SELL
government and clean politics-the Repub-
licans added, ''and home market" He
defended Quay as a consistent Republican,
and said the Independents were political
mermaldS, and that Whlle Monlootn'
Stone and Hastings were all ahead of Della
mater had he had his choice, yet 80 years
service in the party secured his fidelity to
Deiamater.
Chairman Lapsley in introducing Gen
eral Hastings, congratulated the meeting
that he had not sulked in his tent because
passed over for Delamater. General Hast
ings reviewed the past of the Democratic
party briefly and then branched off onto na-
tional issues and discussed the veto of the
soldiers burial bill by Pattison, silver COIN
age and the tariff, and wound up by an ap-
peal to the Independents, begging them not
to stay out of the fold until forced to come
back like Little Bo-peep's sheep.
At the station a Grand Army band
played an air, to which the Americus Club
danced largely multiplied French-four.
On the train speech-making and campaign
songs, the latter by one of the Don Cameron
Club, were the features.

BACKING THEIR OPINIONS.

A Number of Small Bets Being Wagered
Upon the State Election.
Considerable betting on the election is
still being done around town, but the
amounts are generally small. A number Of
bets of from S25 to $50 at eyens on the GU
bernatorial election were made last night.
In Allegheny one or two bets were made at
500 TO $50 on Pattison. One Southside man
made bet OF $75 to S25 that Delamster
would carry the county. An enthusiastic
Democrat asks THE DISPATCH to mention
the fact that he would like TO bet $50 even
that the next Congress is Democratic.
Chief Clerk Crosby, of che Hotel Ander-
son, still holds SC, 500 sent him by ex-State
Chairman Cooper to bet on Delamater, but
which Mr.. Cooper afterward telegraphed
him to hold back.

Chief Jones, OF the fire department, asked
that committee be appointed to investi-
gate the charges made in an afternoon paper
that he had received wages for work done
by boy, which did not belong to him. The
committee decided that as no specific
charges were made they could not investi-
gate, but passed a resolution that the Chief
and the committee are ready to investigate
any charges brought against that official.

HAVEN'T PUT UP THE MONEY.

Colonel Andrews Not Pleased With the Chi
cago Worlds Fair Managers.
Colonel Andrews is disgusted with the
manner in which the Chicago people are
quarreling over the Worlds Fair site. The
Colonel says the work is in the hands of the
ward politicians, and he wouldn't be sur

preparation and wiped out the national
commission.
From what Colonel Andrews could see he
doesn't believe the Chicago people have the
money. They subscribed freely, but the
contract was not binding, and they haven't
handed over the cash. He describes them as
a lot of beggars.

Clubs Not Tolerated at K1ebers Music Store,
500 Wood Street.
The pianos aud organs sold by H. Kleber
& Bro. are too good and artistic to be oper-
ated by means of clubs. They are made to
be played upon by the fingers and hands Of
ladies and children and by artists. People
who insist on using clubs need not apply at
Klebers', for the grand pianos OF Stelnway.
Conover, Gabler, Opera, etc., are too far
above the vulgar level of club-playing. If
you desire music to cheer the heart, elevate
the spirit, refine the feelings and delight
the listener, buy one of Klebers' irst-class
instruments and possess Il joy forever. We
sell, also, on time payments, $50 down and
$40 month-or 81 90 week. The old
trusted house OF FL. Kleber & Bro, 506

others, and hence sells three-fourths OF all
the instruments disposed of in this section
of country.
