hon. JOnn Ii. Lynch, the cOlOred eX-
member of congress from Mississippi.
ana Republican stump orator, was
given bigger ovation last night
than was given to Knute Nelson few
weeks ago in this city. He had larger
procession, and larger audience was
in Market hall. The audience included
great many white men and women
who were doubtless curious to see and
here the noted colored orator. Mr.
Lynch rode about the city in carriage
with DR.. Murphy, accompanied by a
band and torcnlight procession while
the crowd at Market hall was being
entertained by Judge Carroll and Hon.
Hiram F. Stevens. Judge Carroll was
introduced by E. p. Wade, the colored
janitor at the capitol, and found some
embarrassment in filling in the time
prior to tine arrival of the speaker of the
evening. While he was speaking Hon.
Hiram f. Stevens took seat on the
stage and was called for during a pause
of the judge, who said he intended to
discuss another subject, but would yield
to Mr. Stevens, as he was only trying
to kill time.
MI. Stevens said he came there to in
troduce the speaker of the evening, but
he found that he had been introduced
to speak himself. He launched out into
what proved to be a good speech. He
said that if he had lived in the
days of Andrew Jackson he would
probably have made him a Democrat, as
his readings make him great admirer
OF that griZZled warrior and statesman,
and could pardon the few gray haired
Democrats who still vote for him. Mr..
Stevens also had word of compliment
for Grover Cleveland and David B.
Hill. He then stated he had no excuse
to offer for waving the bloody shirt,
and then asserted that the Democrats
had declared the war failure.
While Mr.. Stevens was talking on the
force bill the expected orator arrived,
took seat on the stand.
Mr.. Stevens stopped waving the
'bloody shirt" and introduced F. l..
McGhee, who made short speech in
which lie claimed to be an Irishman,
and asserted that Mr.. lynch IS also
Irish, and that the Republicans are in
it while the Democrats are singing TIA
ra-ra boom de aye"
MIR. Stevens then introduced the
orator of the evening. Mr.. Lynch said he
came from the far South to give few
reasons, from Republican standpoint.
why Harrison should be elected, and
proceeded 10 urge the deSiIabllity of
passing the force bill so that the colored
people can get control of the South.
He urged the audience not to refrain
from beating the Democratic party
under the impression that it is dead,
but to keep pounding away at it. He
opposed Democracy because it believes
In state rights and advocates state SOW
ereignty.
MIR Lynch was considerably off on the
paper currency, as evidenced by his
statement that deprecated paper money
was responsible for Mississippi not get
ting any benefit from the Peabody edu-
catiOnal fund. He probably does not
know that the Peabody educational fund
was not available until after the war
and the state bank era.
He said that the only difference be-
tween Democratic convention in Min
nesota and his state is that the conven-
ton in the South amounts to all election,
while it does not in this state. He said
in Minnesota Republican is a citizen,
in the South he is nigger.
The speaker said he was not a tariff
stump speaker, but his mission was to
discuss the force bill and urge the eiec-
ton of Harrison at all hazards. He de-
clared that cOlOred man cannot be a
Democrat; but if he is he cannot go TO
heaven.
IF you want to travel as a gentleman
and are darby you can travel in
frst-class car in Republican state.''
said he, "but if you want to visit me
and my plantations-I own plantations
in the South, but L run them from
Washington-yOu must take a seat
in Jim Crow car" He declared
that Democratic states prohibit colored
people meeting white people on the
same social scale. He said that the
Democrats in the South claim they want
to keep the negroes from voting the Re-
publican ticket, because it would put
dishonest men into office and allow
negro dominancy. In conclusion he APP
pealed to the colored voters to help
remove Cleveland, whom he declared to
be the mainstay OF Democracy, and to
elect Harrison. so that the cOlored men
in the South may get control of that
country.
