Dr.. Howell closed by paying an eloquent
tribute to Major Warner for his gallant
defense Of the colored man when he fought
the effort to keep the colored men out Of
the white G.. A. r. posts.
Willis G. Mosely made a brief talk rid
iculing Mr.. Sebree's lame excuse for his
anti-labor votes.
He says it is because he wanted to be
on the safe side. Well. suppose you elect
him mayor. When the park question and
the home rule question and these others
come up he may vote no to be on the safe
side. You'd better be on the safe side
yourselves and vote against Sebree."
Attorney r. c. Martin explained the law
regarding the rights of voters who have
been convicted of any crime. He showed
that any man convicted of a misdemeanor
could vote; any man sent to the pen. but
p~ardoned can vote. Only those convicted
of a felony and not pardoned lose the right
to vote.
Nelson Crews made a few remarks urging
coloredsvoters to see that their names were
properly on the registration rolls.

INSULT TO coLoRED MEN.
Summoned to Appear Before County
Court to BE Examined for Jury
Service.

Service.
Twenty-Five colored men met in the coun-
ty courtroom at Independence yesterday
morning in response to postal cards issued
by the county clerk, conveying official in
formation purporting to be approved by
the county court. The cards read:
Sir-Your name has been recommended to the court
as a competent person for jury service If you wish
your name placed in the Jury wheel call at the coun-
ty courtroom in Independence. NO.. Monday forenoon.
March %. and pass the necessary examination. b.
order Of court. this 18th day Of March. A. D. 1855.
Respectfully. T. T. ~CRITTENDEN. Clerk.
The county court denied responsibility for
the postal cards. and declared that no such
order was on record. With this the matter
was dismissed. The colored men were in
dignant. Their names had been secured
by jury ~canvassers last fall. The colored
men believe that the names taken at that
time were in the jury wheel. Charles Rob
erts stated he believed his nam to be in
the jury wheel until notified to appear by
County Clerk Crittenden. The injustice of
the affair was made more striking when
the fact that not a single card of this kind
had been sent to a white voter.
Thomas Phillips. a jury commissioner
appeared before the court and stated that
the charges had been made that colored
men could never serve on a jury for the
reason their names were not in the wheel.
He had secured a list of 200 names. He
could not look up each one. and therefore
ordered the postal cards sent. Phillips
claimed that by order of the SQUIRT was
placed on the cards at the instance of
Judge Stone. Judge Stone says he never
gave such an order.
The colored men held al indignation meet
ing at Independence later yesterday. 1t
was decided that a committee of three
should be appointed at a meeting to be
held later, to go to the office of Jury Com
missioner Phillips and demand the lists
given in by the canvassers. Mr.. Phillips
declared yesterday that their names did not
appear on lists sent in. but tina lists
colored voters will be held Friday in the
upper room of the ccart house at Independ-
pnce.

Major Warner,s speech.

Major Warner was not the first speaker,
but he was the one all wanted to hear and
his appearance was greeted with enthus-
iastic cheers, an ovation which he repaid
by an eloquent presentation of the issues
of the campaign. almost every sentence
being ~punctuated with applause.
Il thought I was coming down to a
ward meeting" said the major. Il didn't
know you had got all the coIored fellows
in Missouri and Kansas.

of years as 1 looked into the faces of
colored men / saw the stalwart American
citizens who stood up for their country.

ed slave at his feet. 1 hope-and there is
no politics in this-before the waning of
many suns to see another pedestal erected

at his feet an emancipated Cuba.

mind. We go through national and state

to see the handwriting on the wall. / say
in all confidence that the name of the next
mayor of Kansas City will not be Sebree.
Il am one who holds that every citizen
has a right to his political convictions with

has the same right to this independent
opinion and to express it as anyone. ] un-

These names are divided between Demo-

MERELY COPIED THE LIST.
ner of Conducting the County
ASSESSOR ONCE.

A committee of the Real Estate and Stock
exchange, which was appointed to examine
the books of the county assessor. reported
to the exchange yesterday hat the new
assessment of real estate was practically
a copy of thai of 1897. The assessment of
1897 was a copy of that of 1896. and that
years assessment was copied from the pre-
vious year. so that no great change nae
been made in years. This. the committee
reports. makes the new assessment a gross
fraud upon the public at large. as well as
upon the individual property owners. be-
cause, on account of the changes in prop
erty valuations in recent years, of which
the assessor takes no notice, there are
great inequalities of assessment. ranging
from Is to 125 per cent. instead of a uniform
basis of 40 per cent, as the law intended.

Hundreds of Colored Voters Were Tn.

Speeches by DR.. Howell,
Professor Yates and
Others Other
Meetings.

The loyal colored voters Of Kansas City
showed the falsity of the windy Demo-
cratic claims last night by crowding old
Turner hall until not another man could
have been driven in with a sledge hammer
and a pile driver. They came and kept
coming until it seemed as If there would
be no letup to them The hall was pretty
well filed long before s o'clock, but once
the ward delegations began to arrive there
was a constant stream Of colored voters
headed by bands and carrying placards
containing various patriotic legends. If
any doubt existed as to the loyalty of the
colored voters Of Kansas City it must have
passed away with the magnificent demon
stration of last night, which was one Of
municipal campaign and which was with
out doubt the greatest demonstration by
coiored voters ever given in the city.
There were exactly 1,126 colored men in
line in the march of ward delegations.

who could find a place to stand and have
the rest go away. Owing TO the fact that
it was a rally of colored citizens only, no
arrangements for an overflow meeting had
been made. 1t was not thought that out
of a total OF 1000. more than one-third that
many could be got together. There were
comparatively few white men present. the
overwhelming majority being colored
voters. Hundreds were unable to get in,
and were forced to go home without hear
ing Major Warner.
The eloquent speech of Major Warner,
the first he has made during the present
campaign. was of course the feature of the
meeting. No man ever got such an ova-
ton as did he last night. When he en-
tered, a shout went up that. set the hall
to shaking, and during his speech, which
was pronounced by many one of the best
he ever made. the cheering was incessant.
An ovation was given him at the close, the
vast audience rising to its feet and cheer
ing and shouting itself hoarse.
John r. Rome, Jr., presided, and made a
short speech in which he declared that the
charges that there was any disaffection
among the negroes were all bosh.
On the platform were a large number OF
prominent colored men, among them the
