And the meeting adjourned sine

die.
A few months ago attended a
Mormon meeting in Chicago.
E. w. Stephens, of the Columbia
Herald, good democratic paper, and
Stephens is one of the chosen of the
Baptist church, and | took lunch at
the new tavern called Auditorium"
ard then We started out to find the
worshiping Mormons.
We found them in sky parlor in a
great high building.
They try to get as high as possible,
for when they come down, as they
will eventually, they want to get as
much as they can, because the descent
is free and warm when they get
there.
In fact it will be decidedly hot.
There were present about forty
men and women. The men had long
hair and the women had their hair
cut short.
One fellow with a Voice
which sounded like a cross
between fog horn AMI the noise m de
filing a saw, rose and said something
about the prosecutions meted out to
those who desired to worship in their
chosen way.
One man, stranger in Chicago. a
resident of the stare # Maine, who
had ran away from his wife with fe,
male type writer, made a good talk.
His tongue had probably gotten
him his wife and by the same way be
had probably gotten the type writer
to elope. And now be wanted to join
the Chicago Mormons, so that he
could get several more wives.
They invited Stephens to make
some remarks, but he declined, as he
had cold, with thanks.
1t was August AMI Stephens cold is
always worse st that time of The year.
L was about to ger up and tell them
that us MethOdists were content with
one wife as long as she could talk
right glibly aud abuse her neighbors
and tell them that their children
did not look like their father, but
Stephens nudged me to keep still, as
| might get arrested for disturb ng
religious meeting.
A man about twenty five years old
arose aud with tremulous voice said
he bad been a vile sinner but now
he had been converted and wanted to
j in the gang of Latter Day
Saints"
The snort haired females all turned
their heads and looked at him and |
heard one of 'em whisper to the
woman by her side, "He's of on the
wrong foot"
he who is editor of the Mexico
Ledger.
The new convert said his name was
Sam Smith and he looked like man
l know who belongs to the Anti-God
society in Sedalia.
Sam was marched to the front and
they laid hands on his head and said
some scripture words that sounded to
me like the utterances | heard when
the advance agent ola lunaiic asylum
struck Pisgah, Cooper county, Mo-,
the day the democrats had rally to
hear Johnny Trim make speeches and
promises be never intended to fulfill.
They pranced Sam Smith around
the room a few times and then told
him that he was a member in full
fellowship and could marry from one
to a dozen times ri ht of.
The short haired part of the aud
fence looked again and seemed exal-
ted.
Stephens and your Deacon then re-
tired 10 good order leaving the cranks
to swing around a few more times
and gather in another Sam Smith.

a true representation, and he only
wishes that some entorprising theat-

democrats are about to do duty that
none should neglect. | called at Jones
grocery last night and had talk
sbout the situation and laid some plans
for getting votes.
Deacon Mont Carnes, Elder Geo.
z. Longan, Jack Logan and the Gen
tieman mot from Pike" were present.
A messenger was sent out for Charlie
Yeater, but he could not be found.
1t was reported that he was at prayer
meeting which met my hearty en-
dorsement.
Jones wanted to know what was
thought of the new tangled method of
voting and how it would operate on
the pure aud unadulterated democ-
racyY
Elder Geo. F. Longan, who has
been q terror to criminals, thought it
was just the thing, as it left a free
expression of the voter aud that was
all he wanted. Iagree with the elder.
[ suggested that my son John would
go out with bis traditional bottle of
whisky and that brings in the voters.
The audience all cheered but Jack.
Deacon Carnes said be was all right
and if he didn't get elected, he pro-
posed to quit this country and Join the
Mormons. "I'm bound to win" and he
hit Jones on the back, that made him
cough up nickel that will go in the
platter today.
Brother Daily came in at this juno
ture and said his campaign was at
White heat and assured tine people
present that nothing but the failure of
the polls to open on election day
would prevent his being one of the
chosen.
Deacon Messerly came in the groc-
cry and tried to buy some green per-
simmons. Of course Jones had none
and Messerly knew it. Charlie was
ust locking for a chance to get his
work in. He failed on that crowd
and when outside he was Joined by
Bill Jackson, and the two started for
North Africa to see if they could dis
cover Stanley and-other people who
would vote for their crowd.
"Pat Longan has been playin' it on
the Irish, because his name is Pat,
said Deacon Carnes.
"What shall be done with him ?"
Asked Mike Doherty, who had come
in 10 light his pipe previous to start
ing to the jungIes of Flat creek.
No one answered.
/ am not without hope. Its my
religion to hope on and vote the
Democratic ticket through all kinds of
weather.
P. S.-John don't forget your boot
leg.

champions the cause of the Colored man
and it remains with the Colored people,
especially in the vicinity of ST.. Paul, to
show their appreciation by their hearty

Color Line in the G. A. r..

New Orleans, La, May l9.-In Jan
uary last there was considerable feeling
in Grand Army circles over the fact that
Department Commader Captain Jacob
Gray had granted charters to nine Col
ored posts. This action aroused strong
opposition amongehe white posts, re-
sulting in split in the ranks. This op.
position, headed by George T. Hodges,
entered into combination to exclude
the Colo1ed posts from the meetings of
the organization, the plan being to elect
officers favorable to their policy and
send only such delegates to the national
encampment as would oppose the ad-
mission of Colored po is into the ranks
of the G. A R.
At the annual meeting in February
for the election Of officers, when the
Committee on Credentials reported that
the papers OF the Colored posts were in
order, protest was entered by the
white members. which resulted in their
leaving the hall. The following night
both factions held meetings, and each
elected a set of officers and forwarded
proceedings to General Alger, comman-
der in chief. Various departments
throughout the country Endorsed the
action of Commander Gray, but General
Alger sustained Mr.. Hodges and con-
frmed him as department commander.
Upon receipt of this recognition Mr..
Hodges wrote to Major J. w. Scully at
Atlanta, in charge ofthe national ceme-
teries, asking for the exclusive use of
the rostrum and monument at Chalmet-
ia Cemetery on Decoration day, which
was granted. This action on the part
Of the Hodges party has served only to
widen the breach between the factions.
and the adherents of Captain Gray have
written the Secretary of War asking his
good offices in trying to arrange it so
that both can celebrate the occasion in
a BETTING manner.
Should the Colored posts attend in a
body it will seriously affect the attend
ance of the white people.
