Campaign literature is Aaing dis
tributed quite freely by the local roll
ticans. The events of the past week
have been quite exciting. The demo-
Gratis are laying low and keeping
mum" since HcKinleyism is so much
in evidence. The political pot is on
the boil and the contents are season
ed in high style, populistic mind, DEM
ocratic gas and republican common
sense all are seeking the favor of the
people.
A grand republican rally was held at
the Pilgrim Travellers Hall, on north
31st street last night, the 18th instant,
under the auspices of the Smithers
and Hardin's Mckinley and Hobart
clubs. Several prominent republi-
cans were billed to speak, among
whom were Hon. Otis H. Russell and
Hon, ]. w. Southwark. The speakers
ably discussed the money question
and the general issues of the cam
paign.
DEMOCRATS VS. REPUBLICANS
A rousing republican meeting was
held at the Old Market Hall on last
Tuesday night, composed chiefly OF
colored voters of Jefferson Ward,
while across the street at Thon's Hall,
a democratic meeting was in progress.
Mr.. N. j. Smith assumed the chair
manship of the republican meeting,
while Hon. E. Brown OF New York
made brilliant speech on the issues
ing, the democratic mob, whose meet
ing had closed talked noisily in the
hall cat cries. howls and yells for Bry-
an were much in evidence, and so
much SO the speaker was almost un-
able to proceed. When he did finally
secure order, he said, Yes, il is such
thieves you who will vote for Bry-
an" At this repartee pandemonium
reigned. There were howls from the
Bryanites, where cheers and counter
cheers were heard from the republi-
cans.
After much difficulty order was at
last restored. Precinct meetings will
be held throughout the city next Tues
day night. All the republican voters
are cordially invited to attend the diff
ferent meetings in their respective
precincts.

ABOUT OUR STREETS.

1t is surprising to note that many of
our people, who are constantly COM
planning of the street facilities do not
come together and call q meeting to
set forth their grievances and petition
to the city authorities to do something
towards repairing the streets. We are.
well aware of the fact that the streets
where colored residents reside need
paving as much as those where the
white people are. From Clay street
to Venable on SOth St. there's not q
vestige of paving, while the water
stands in the ruts and gullies after q
hard rain until it is dried by the sun I;
| likewise on goth street from Marshall
to Venable, then taking the intersec-
ting streets, Clay, Leigh, M, N, o and
lVenable, there is nothing, not even
coal dust, to protect the feet; 30th
street is in deplorable condition and
the authorities should take some steps
towards providing q proper sidewalk
for the people. OF course so long al
the residents keep their grievances Il
themselves 80 long will the city autho
; tiles be content to let them remain q
they are.

vacancy on the Legislative ticket in
the Northern district caused by the

Quite a breeze was stirred up in the
committee by several colored men,
who came to demand their rights from
the party. Harry Howard, represent
ing the Mark Hanna Club. OF Colum-
bia, said that if the Republican party
wants the colored men to stay in line
they must recognize them by appoint.

received nothing, but are always ex.

1t was finally agreed to leave the
whole matter go over to some future
time. The commi ttee decided tC
