Fearful Threat.

Coleman Horner presided and threw ter
ror into the hearts Of the disturbing ele-
uent by declaring if they persisted in talk
ing to each other during speechmaking he
would see to it that they would not vote
on the 2Sth.
LUX hyar, niger, how's you gwine to
keep me frum votin,'' queried one of the
disturbers, but the chairman shook his
head ominously and did not deign a reply
The chairman opened the evening exer-
cises, he said, by introducing James Lewis,
a young and rising orator..

Gleason and Bailey.


James was waiting for his cue from a
vantage point on the hot side of the stove
and strcde forward with a Daniel Webster
stride to the center of the room. He was
no orator, he said, but desired to make a
the right track. They were on the very
verge Of precipice which their ancestors
had refused to remember. He proposed to
attack Perry Carson, 1.-The man what had
been triumphed a number of times, but
accomplished nothing" He went to the
convent ton, and tine only thing they ever
heard of him was a little torch-Hght pro-
cession after it was all over. Bailey and
Gleeson, however, are the men to do the
work, and If the storms didn't destroy the
wires they'd hear from them the day the
next President was nominated. He implor-
ed his hearers to vote for Bailey and Glee-
son, and said when their children cried
from the bloody flood. Father, you have
here, they would realize their mistake. %
He questioned Col. Carson's title, and said
he didn't know what he was colonel of
1t was his impression a "click' was at
work to break up meetings, and that GER
tain men in power had bought up some
people to make fuses and disturbances
1t was funny, anyhow, no one was ever
arrested.
High Flights.
At this stage of the proceedings Candi-
date Bailey entered, and he received an
ovation. Lewis Willis came next, and pre-
faced his remarks with the statement that
he had mo PEARLS in his mout and was no
orator." He thought there was too much
ignorance and Jealousy portrayed at meet
ings, and the sisters of this and that who
continually interrupted the proceedings
showed their ignorance of parliamentary
ISM. "As Hamlet says" continued the
speaker, from the top of your head to
your bottom be true. These hyar pints OF
order and quarts made gallons and soon
th,y would have the whole Potomac river
up for order"
Some one objected to the manner OF
speech, and suggested that the speaker
talk about Bailey and Gleeson. After re.
questing the chairman to take that time
out and give him credit for it he resumed
and said the republicans of the eleventh
district wanted to send man to the con.
vention with some brains, and not because
he had a gigantic frame and African fea
lures. He thought Andrew Gleeson would
represent the republicans of the District
| of Columbia with credit because he was g
man true to himself and true to his trust.
You have sent the Black Hooker of the
| Tiber to the convention twice, and if the
President of the United States can't have

Districts.
G ARSE N'S RAT RS

The almost abandoned ball room of the
Schuetzen Park on the It'll street road, was
lighted Up last night. Several big coal oil
lamps cast an uncertain light through the
building, which, with the exception of a few
benches and table, was bare of all fur
niture. The erstwhile scene of a thousand
Publications, where countless kegs of beer
and a myriad of pretzels and not sausages
tended to make life worth living, was
changed The place was as damp and cold
as an ice box.
But into this hall the followers of Saun-
ders and Holland came and wandered about,
because it was too cold to sit down. 1t was
nearly o'clock when the beating of drums
was heard by the faithful within, and the
Pickapinny Drum Corps came into the hall
amid a clash of sound.
W. G. Smith was chosen chairman of the
meeting and w. G. Tyler was made sec
rotary. E. H. Lee was selected as SER
geant-at-arms and the meeting was about
to proceed to business, when very order
ly and reverend-looking colored man step
ped forward and inquired of the presid-
ing officer:
HAS 70 fo'got de chaplain, Mr.. Chair
MANI
The chairman looked guilty, and said
they must, of course, have chaplain so
that the meeting could be opened with
prayer. He appointed Rev. Mr.. Hender-
son chaplain, and that gentleman invoked
the divine blessing on the proceedings of
the evening.
The Ball Opened.
1t was announced that it was in order
for some one to speak in behalf of the
candidacy of w. F. Thomas as an alter
nate to the convention, but the expected
advocates of Mr.. Thomas did not show up.
Finally G. W. Ray came forward amid APP
plause He said the colored people of the
District of Columbia were in a deplorable
condition, and twenty-five years behind
their fellow men in the states. He said the
colored people had chosen men 10 repre-
sent them in the convention because of
their physical rather than intellectual abil-
ity. He challenged any one to show what
Mr.. Gleeson had ever done for the honor
that had been conferred on him by the
colored people. except to secure govern
ment contracts to cut streets and avenues
in the District.
who has he employed?" Mr.. Ray ask
ed .'Colored men? OF course. Why? Be
cause the wages he paid were such that
white men would not accept Them

Opposed to O.

lowed to speak in his behalf.
Opposed to Caucus Methods.
At this point the opposition to the cut
and dried method of appointing officers
was sprung. An energetic young colored
man by the name of Samuel Jackson
nominated James A. Perry as permanent
chairman, but Mr.. Lee gave him to under
stand that the committees of the three dis
tricts intended Jerry M. Matthews to be
the presiding officer of the evening. There
upon one of Lees hackers arose in the
audience to point on the proceedings
and argued that any attempt to boost in
new officers from the floor would be out of
crder Others held that it was a joint
meeting, and that in the interest of well
fare AMI harmony they should be allowed
to choose their own president. Mr.. Lee
ruled that Jackson's nomination was out Of
order. An appeal from his decision was
taken, and in the midst of great confusion
and disorder the chairman announced that
his decision had been upheld. Jackson
made a vigorous speech, in which he OBJ
jected to the chairman's action as being
impartial" whereas. in his opinion, pre-
siding officer ought always to act In a
partial manner. At this point Mr.. Mat
thews took the chair. He was the Digest
man in the crowd, weighing upward of 800
pounds and as he was armed with walk
Ing stick, big in proportion, the noise he
made when he raped for order drowned
all opposition from the audience, and he
won his point every time.
D. F. Bats was the first speaker of the
evening, the platform being granted him
| that he might say few words in the in
terests of Mr.. Saunders. In the course of
| his address he said that the manner in
which the colored people carried them
selves in these meetings would have much
| to do with the question whether they would
get what they are contending for. He said
| that the people of the District are unarm-
| ed for the ballot is the weapon of the
| freedman In fighting for his rights He
quoted from the Bible, from Josephus and
| from Hiawatha to prove that people who
| fight among themselves will surely fade
away and die"
| Mixed, but Eloquent.
| Speaking of Carson he said he had been
misunderstood. II say to you that IL Perry
| Carson were dead and in his coffin, and
every person in Washington, especially col
ored people, should lay a single bud above
his body he would sleep beneath wilder
ness of roses. Still there is something in
| having a man who has an influence with
| the powers that be. Mr.. Saunders is bust.
| ness man who exemplifies the rule now
| lay down for you. Get money. I say tG
| you, friends, get money. There isn't a col
| ored man in this hall but silver dollar
| will cover his face from any white man In
| Washington. Money will change the color
| of your face, straighten your hair, diminish
the size of your nose and alter the shape
| Of your heel"
