fact that the night prior to tbs

Reed wing, headed by Kellogg and
Leonard, had on fair and un-
doubted count OF noses a majority
OF fourteen votes and the next
morning we're defeated by ma.
jority OF twenty shows how lavish

ley's Doodle, or how cheap those
African specimens OF noble man
hood sold themselves.
1t has long been known that
negro votes sell at every election
at from one drink OF rot-gut
whiskey to five dollars, and 1t has
been not uncommon for the City
Ring to buy up the whole New
Orleans contingent OF negro votes
by wholesale. The republican
committee which issued this ad-
dress know these facts as well as
we do; and they are no more for
the negro or his enlightenment, or
his education, or his rights, and
have no more faith In his political
integrity and manhood than they
have in those of mule. They
have in the mass of negroes a
power which they can WELD as a
solid club. They are welding it
by appealing to their race pre-
JUDGES, to their carnal and brutal
passions, and also to their utter
want of political integrity.
The combination of so many
sugar planters and really good
cilizens with the old rotten repub-
lican party; the detection or so
many honest white men to the
populist or communist party, pre-
sent to us grave issue; but, as
In the past, the prosperity and
honor OF this State, the suprem-
acy of the white race, and the
perpetuation of its Christian CIV
ilization depend upon the demo-
cratic party; and no democrat
should ignore this fact, or permit
ony consideration to cloud it. The
democratic party in Louisiana is
a white mans party, and the re-
publican party in Louisiana is a
niger party. Mr.. Henry Mccall
is noble and heightened gentle
man, and so are Mr.. Henry G.
Minor and Albert III. Leonard, but
no man can be better than the
party he leads. The duty Of every
democrat is to vote for the splen-
did ticket by Gov. Murphy j.

stuff by auction is all right said one "all

When Anthony DreXel died there were a

wanted. 1t was finally decided to hold a

dollar clock for money with which he could
have bought the finest clock in Philadel-
phia. never knew what the history of the
clock was but it mist have had a peculiar
one. Then I put up big arm chair. 1t
was the chair DreXel had sat in for over
twenty years, and 1t had a valuable asso-
citation for each one of the family. A mar
ried daughter and young Anthony Drexel
were the ones who wanted 1t the most, and
the bidding, which opened at $1,000 was
spirited and lively. Il finally sold the chair
to Anthony for s6,500.r7 The days sales

the swain who can pass them by without
stopping to buy. The supper room is in

are weighted down with snow, cotton bat
ting, perhaps. but still SO realistic that
It answers every purpose. and Is very salts
down the backs of the guests about the
table who are eating ice cream as willingly
as though they were spending an evening
in central Africa instead of in Iceland.
The scheme Of an evening in Iceland was
conceived by Lieutenant Ebert and in all
its practical details was worked out by him
and his associates in the corps. 1t repre-
sents weeks of patient labor, and so en-
ergetically did the boys go about the work
that less than a hundred dollars were spent
for professional assistance from outside.
IT was big undertaking, and the fact
that nothing of the sort had ever been done
In this city before made it all the more
difficult, hut the boys feel well repaid for
all their trouble in the success which has
crowned their efforts.
