TAYLOR LET HIMSELF LOOSE.
He said he had grown so fat feeding at
the Democratic crib that he thought il un-
wise, improper and inIpoliiic for him to
say what he would like to say. He said that
it mattered not what party the negro affili-
ated with. as they allhad a common destiny.
Ha hp no W.
with the meeting. and would like to say
much, but could not consistently do So
He declared, however. that there was one
thing that he could not refrain from observ-
ing, and it was that some of the people
were objecting to Perry Carson because he
had already represented them.
He said that he thought this wa unusual
and declared that this more than anything
else entitled Carson to represent the people
here, and that he enjoyed the acquaintance
of Senators. congressman, ana distinguished
nIenin the party. Hesaidalsosome objected
because they said that Carson was not well
enough educated. He declared that shrewd
ness and not education would be needed in
the convention, and men who were poll
ticians would succeed He said that he was
holding office under n Democratic admin
istratiun. but that he knew that negro DEM
ocrats did not have much following i'll this
country.

corder, "but somebody would cane HE when

The crowd urged him to say what seemed
to worry him, but he did not let the cat
out of the bag. nd left the politicians won
dering as to what he desired.
One of them remarked afterward: "There
is n nigger In the woodpile somewhere"
In explaining to Times reporter his
presence at the Republican Blass-meeting
last night Recorder Taylor said to-day that
ii wa is simply by an accident that lie was
there. and that he had not gone for
the purpose of participating in the pro-
ceedings.
After having been invited to the platform
and asked to make speech, he said that
he thought Ii was his duty to tell the
meeting what he considered it best for
it TO do. and accordingly advocated MIR.
Carson's claim.
He declares that he is still Democrat
and has no intentio OF participating in
Republican politics.
He says that when he told the meeting
that he wanted to say something. but the
fear of being caned restrained him, he
was about to say that the meeting ought
not to have been held, and that the par
ticipants would have been far better off
II they had been at their homes.
