tof the county committee and fer dele
kgates 10 the State convention.
The feature of the occasion was the
Election Of some two dozen or so of coll
bred delegates and six colored commit
$eemen. incidentally it may be added
&he grand old party of moral ideas in
2dulged in a savage fight at headquarters,
Mo. $50 Market street, when citizens
we're kicked and beaten, chairs smashed
Ind other deviltry carried on. Some of
The wounded were carried TO their
bones, "Letter-carrier Syiyanus," an
Eyewitness of these Republican pleas
|hntries says twas pitiful sight. Blood
1owed freely from numerous cuts and
washes on his face and head, his physi-
gnomy resembling more a mass Of raw
beef than a human face"
u AS well as can be understood the
Republican headquarters fight is de-
elopment of the Levy Court VS.. post
office, or in other words, Bird Massey
5Fs. Higgins faction dispute. The leaders
ypn either side were Levy Court and
3post-office appointees. II demonstrates
what an amusing piece Of humbug that
pronunciamento of Postmaster Stewart
On Saturday last in regard to "pernicious
activity" was. The question for the
administration lawyer to construe this
morning, is whether "gymnastic activ-
|ity" with chairs and clubs and threat
6iied actions at law come ut all within
the pale of "pernicious activity" as con-
.etrued by the civil service enactment.
fDf course it may not as this is fight
within the party, and the Bird Massey
al lie alxr..
who are always beaten on a square
light.
& MIR. BACH GOT SCARED.
"When the fight grew hot so the
H,ye-witness referred TO says, "Chairman
"a. Eden Bach grew paler and ran off
INTO the street, and from that safe dis
Nance watched the brutal ARRAY, in
(which every one in the room took sides"
In notable contrast TO Mr.. Bach's
course and to that genteman's usual
care for his personal safety, is the action
<pf colored voter, who in the midst of
HE melee, when the constables were
humping on the PROSTATE Sylvanus,
*prang forward, inspired with a cour-
{&geous desire to see fair play, to the aid
III the letter-carrier.
y go way niggerl" was the shout that
5Ereeted the heroic darkey from halt-a-
.Aozen stentor lungs. And he had to let
up.
NJ The Republican county constables for
Wilmington hundred and Letter carrier
bylvanus were the leaders in the racket.
l.S Another fight took place on West
Eourth street between Market and Ship
ley when colored voters were made the
Victims of administration ire and were
Whacked and culfed without mercy.
