THE ORATOR BORN

Hon. John G. Dancy's speech
last Tuesday night was the best
oratorical effort heard in this city
since the famous memorial speech
OF Gen. Sherman on the Lamented
President, Lincoln. April 18th,
1885, in the same place, the corri-
dor OF the State Capitol. This is
said with due respect to all the
speakers who have been heard in
the interval. But there will be no
burning as everyone who has
spoke in the meantime, from the
college graduate to the stump
orator-with the accent on the
abelieves himself the equal of a
Douglas, Price, an Ingersoll, a
Daney, a Milton Turner or Geo.
Bryant. Anything of frmer grasp
in it's construction, of more solidity
in it's logic, or of greater force in
its lncisiveness, would be hardly
possible to hear upon the subject
or within the scope Of the material
at the speakers disposal. As to
the beauty of the language. the
choice of expression and the round
ing of periods, it ranks with the
most finished oratorical efforts o1
any age Or country. In a word i
was the best speech the colored
people have heard during the cam
paign by one of their own race.
The CAPITAL has known Mr.
Dancy for number of years ane
was confident that he would please
the people of Sangamon County
His speech is the peer of any tha
have been made in Illinois by th'
orators of either party. We shall
have Mr.. Dancy to again visit th'
capital city.

ings could not be taken against
him for its recovery by the city;
and that what he had set forth in
his suit as damages was actually a
large benefit to the property. This
property he sold soon afterwards
at net profit OF $4,000. His own
party showed hat he was q stranger
to moral principles and that he
was politically rotten to the core.
It was shown too, by that party
that he grinds his tenants into the
very dust whenever he can; that he
compels them to pay their rent in
gold while he goes alb ut the coun-
try telling his hearers that gold
and silver should be made equal
as currency. That party also
showed that tie thugs and bum
mers of the larger cities, especially
in Chicago. were working for his
election, knowing that as governor
they would find in him a friend
after they had been landed in the
penitentiary.
This is the man that some of the
colored voters would support by
their ballots and forget man like
Gov. Fifer, who was receiving the
leaden bullets of the southern reb.
els, fighting for their freedom,
while Altgeld was quietly living at
home crying out with his party
that the war was failure.

think OF voting against such a man
as Gov. Fifer? man wLo has made

State has ever had; the man who
has always given helping hand

who is ever friend to the poor,

Negroes fOr. FifeI'.

Time was and not so very long
ago that even a whisper that any
number Of Negroes would fail to
vote the Republican ticket would
be listened to with great surprise.
Such thing would have been look
ed upon as ita man would proclaim
that he would oppose his friends
because they had not only advanced
his condition in life but because
they had determined to stand by
him as his friends in the future.
Yet we bear some rumors at the
present time that some of the color
ed voters will oppose Gov. Fifer in
the present race. Think Of it! Think
Of colored man offering his sup
port to ex-Judge Altgeld, man
whose unworthiness was freely
given out before his nomination,
not by republican papers alone but
the leading democratic journals. In
fact the republican papers had but
comparatively little to say concern
ing him, but the democratic papers
and democratic speakers painted
his character and his unworthiness
in their true light. They showed
that his nomination would be dis
astrous to the party. And why?
Because he was unit ue; was treach-
Gus, unjust, sneaking, and coward
ly. He was protesting to be the
friend and supporter of Gov. Palmer
when he was knifing him tor the
United States senatorsEip, because
he wished to occupy the seat him
self. He would not M k, an open
contest for it, but would faxn and
fiatter and Judas-iike wou d sell his
master for few piec! of silver.

AItgeld was the material selected
by the Chicago gambler, Mike Nc
Donald, because he found in him q
willing tool to do his dirty work
and the dirty work of his dlsrepu-
table ring in that city. His own
party likewise showed that while
