Not a Drawing Card.

In view Of the fact that Democratic
newspapers and politicians have taken
special pains to belittle Hon. A. G.
Dayton, and to create the impression
that he is a nouentity, not because it
affords us pleasure to do so, but as an
indication OF the ability and success of
his predecessor as a lecturer we COPY
the following special from Baltimore
to the Philadelphia Press:
Congressman William l.. Wilson
is no longer drawing card in this
city. Three weeks ago when he spoke
here the big Music Hall was scarcely
large enough to hold the people.
Last night a business college paid
him $500 to deliver a lecture at the
same hail. and though the fact had
been extensively and judiciously ad
vertised scarcely three hundred people
attended. The expenses were in
round figures 5000 and the receipts
Sloo, entailing loss of $500 to the
college. Heretofore the college has
made money on all its lectures. This
is the first time loss has been sus-
tanned"

one Prof w. B. Evans, negro Dem
ocrat, whom | met in Martinsburg,
and who am informed is principal OF
the colored school of Martinsburg, he
attacked me just as soon as he met
the and said, 81 see you are over here
You don't know anything about Jeff

jority, we are going to double his ma
jority. You Republicans will not be

abusive toward the Republicans and
was more bitter than any man I have
met since in this county. think it
a shame to have such man at the
head of colored school to instill the
idea of Democracy into the colored
children. would not stop to write
you this had not Mr.. Evans been SO
abusive today and insulting and boast

right in saying: The Republicans

From time immemorial. says All

it was only by frequenting the shops
whore books were sold that possible
purchasers were able to learn what
was going on in the printing world,
to know what new books were

hear and exchange the latest literary

not quite clear from the last few
words whether the books mi hit be
