touch with the leadeFsS Of the republican
party In conclusion he introduced a reso-
luton indorsing Carsqh9nd Parker as dele
gates, ard the other Two as alternates.
In the vote that followed it was pretty
hard to tell what the spirit of the meeting
was. They seemed t1qbe all right toward
Carson, but vociferois attempt was made
to have Col Parkers name eliminated from
the resolution. A division was called for
aud while the vote was being taken there
was considerable excitAment occasioned by
the efforts of Bailey man, well gone in
liquor, to break up the meeting. He be-
big sergeants-at-arms to squelch him prop-
erly. Finally the chairman announced that
the resolution had been adopted, and his
statement was received with rapturous ap-
plause.
The next speaker was ]. c. Wright, who
said that he was college man and pretty
well educated, but even If Carson is an ig-
norant man he for one was willing to trust
his destiny to the keeping of such an one
For the wisest of all men said: "Get wis

true to them ever since
I'm what year?' asked the follower of
Bailey and Bacchus, who intended to break
up that meeting or know the reason why.
He Was,Hustled Out.
This was carrying things-too far, and the
two sergeants-at-arms, stalwart men of
muscle, didn't do thing to him but hustle
him out and drop him down long flight
of stairs to the avenue SO quickly that he
was lodging a cable car before he knew
where he was at"
During the evening one other bibulous
gentleman, who believed that in mass

especially, was escorted to the door and
dropped into the outer darkness. Other
wise the meeting was unanimous for Car
son and more than majority for Parker.
L. H. Peterson followed in a character
istic address, in which he turned over the
bones of L. c. Bailey's dead hopes of going
to st. Louis a delegate"
F. D. Lee and H. NJ. Clark also made adj
dresses, but by this time the enthusiasm of
the crowd was beginning to flag, and along
about 10 o'clock the chairman announced
the meeting closed, and the crowd left
the hall to the tune Of John Browns

the selection of Carson and Parker as dele
gates to ST. Louis met last evening in
Asbury Mission Church, 9th street extend
ed, for the purpose of advancing the inter-
ests of those men. 1t was not then known

pledging the support of those present to
the ticket were adopted, and the meeting
adjourned.
Mr.. Scott said he was in favor of Car
son, because he was never known to go
of good, solid color Mr.. Munroe favored
Carson, because as heii said while, per-
haps, he was ignorant and rude, he had
enough good. hard, horse sense to make
him the friend of the greatest men of his
party. AS to his being sent too many times
| to the national conversions, the speaker
said that Massachusetts never tired Of
Webster, Kentucky of Clay or Ohio Of
Sherman. Mr.. Perry told the meeting that
Mr.. Carson should he selected. because he
| represented the Simdn-ppre negro. and had
none of the nonsense of the so-called four
hundred. He spoke of the services Of Car
| son in the interests Of his people, and men,
| toned his efforts to secure for laboring
| people the same wages per day in the
| county that are given, in the city. The
| speaker advised his hearers to demand
| from the candidates "a promise beforehand
that they would, if selected. secure such a
remedy of the Law. all over" said
| Mr.. Perry, in conclusion. Perry is q win
ner. an all of you who wants to git on
! board had better jump. Not dat you is
wanted. but jes to git on de Lords side in
| dis matter
Mr.. Bell. the candidate for alternate,
| spoke at some length, inquiring If the col

| carried away by ambitious politicians,
| filthy lucre or bad whisky. The throng in

would successfully tempt them. and then.
| treasured, Mr.. Bell paid his respects to the
| delegates antagonistic to Carson and Par

former as the later growth Of his race, as
| cigarette-smoking dudes who had not the
| little sense they were born with.
Mr.. Toes and Mr.. Odom followed in q
| like strain, and resolutions favoring Messrs.
| Carson and Parker were adopted, and the
meeting adjourned, with great cheering for
