Judge WaddiiI Makes Two Speeches.
About 100 negroes, fifty white Republi-
cans. and $50 Democrats assembled
around a small stand in the vacant lot
on the corner Of Fifth and Louisiana
listened to a disjointed and disconnected
speech made by Judge Edmund Waddill.
The negroes laughed at some OF the things
he said, and failed to understand a great

sought in vain throughout all he said for

the perpeXing issues Of this campaign.
A band Of music was on hand TO dis
course music. and Mr.. Morgan Treat
was on hand to open the meeting. Mr..
Treat had never made political speech
before. and. in consequence, he was
somewhat ratified but he managed to
wriggle through a speech, and really
acquitted himself well.
Judge Waddill. however made the
speech OF the evening. and he made It In

more. until his lung-power was ex-

Judge drank water Then he started up
again and talked for another hour. he
discussed the free-silver plank OF the
Chicago platform. and in q semi-humor-
Gus fashion warned the people against

"of the man who wants TO give you
something for nothing"
How about Hannas money some one
in the crowd holered. That's free, amt

This brought forth much laughter from
the Democrats, and the Judge joined

hearers. "and there will be others next
Tuesday night. 1t will take all the en-

When Judge Waddill concluded his
speech the lights were extinguished.
