A meeting OF the Independent
C0lored Voters was held last evening
at Institute Hall, which came very
near ending In a riot. There were
about $50 persons present. among
them being a number OF white Repub-
licans. Chairman Moore called the
meeting to order and introduced John
b. Syphax OF Virginia. who made a
Irousing Democratic speech. BY this
time the audience were becoming
restless, but the climax was not
reached until DIR. Howell was intro.
Iduced and commenced to speak.
He said he believed that four years
hence the colored people Of the state
lof Wilmington" would find IL advisable
to divide their vote and no alluded TO
the existence OF twenty.seven colored
Democratic clubs in Now York.
Whom h. made this assertion all the
audience except seven, got up and
started for the door. Some ono pro
posed three cheers for Harrison, which
we're given with n Will.
When IL was announced that another
Injecting would be held IL was greeted
with groans. MIR. Moore then arose
and spoke briefly on the report that tax
receipts were being sold, and said the
men charged with buying them, Syp-
hax and Howell, had told him that
they had not done SO. They offered
SlO0 reward for proof OF the charge
He then adjourned the meeting.
Cheers fer Harrison were again given.
The crowd fingered. Syphax and How
ell and Brinckley, who had been on
the stage. seemed in no haste to leave
the hall.
Officers Massey and Hahn then clear
ed the hall, when the colored orators
started to go out Eighth street, and
were greeted with groans. The off.
GERS stayed by them, and kept the
crowd back. They were, however, fol-
lowed, and as they advanced shouts of

ored men also walked with the orr
tors. At the entrance of Nhltechapel
some one cried: Run EN- in there, E"
but there was no rush.

When the party reached Tatnall

country have been ranging around
this town for week past.
The fire broke out in an lmmonse
forest a few miles south of the village.
