1t is rather strange that a newspa
per published in Maryland should I'M
dertake TO induce the South TO vote the
Republican ticket. And the reasons
given are queer too.
L he Republican party furnished
the South with sound money! We
don't admit that the G.. 0. p. has sent
us cent and we know that the dollar
Of the day is no better than the dollar
Of yesterday.
2. The Republican party has given
the South wise and equitable tariff
laws" To every right thinking man
in the South they are essentially un.
wise and inequitable.
3. The Republican party has given
to the South new markets" New
markets in which her sons have been
slaughtered and her treasure, in part.
criminally wasted.
1. The Republican party has restored |
confidence" in the South-by threat
enlng her with Acknowledgement and
imposing upon her disreputable and
offensive officials.
No, brother; the South has no reason
'or voting the Republican ticket and
all the kings horses cannot drag her
o the polls with any such intention.
She is just now agonizing over the
of mighty problem, a prob.
EN- forced upon her by this same Re-
publican party and she can neither ex-
ect aid or comfort from that source in
his her chief struggle. Those who
ppose her in that can be friends in '

parting of the ways" We are not III

NEGROES MOBBED.
Recent New Orleans Scenes Repeated
in New York.

New York, Aug. GA number of in
cipient race riots broke out here Sunday,
the direct cause being the shooting on
Saturday night of John Brennan, white
messenger boy, aged 20, by John Davis,
alias "Lamplighter," a negro. Brennan
was one of a crowd of whites who tainted
Davis, and bullets from the blacks re-
volver lodged in his stomach and chest.
He is in a hospital and likely to die. The
shooting was done on Sixty-secend street,
and, becoming noised about. the rough
white element began to search out ne
groes. Before daybreak James Arnold.
colored, while passing Sixty-fourth street
and Amsterdam avenue, was attacked by
a crowd of whites and badly, beaten He
ward, about two blocks away, the gang
doled out. a similar experience to. Alex
passing quietly along. In neither case
were arrests made.
of whites, led by Frank McPhike, "a years
old, went to a five-story tenement on Six
avowed purpose Of clearing it out. They
had about demolished all the windows
and incidentally cracked a head or two
other man were arrested.
At 80 p. m. Joseph Boyle, IS years old,
stand at Fifty-ninth street and Eleventh
avenue. He succeeded in inflicting scalp
wounds on two colored men before a po-
liceman dubbed and arrested him.
OFFICER John J. Cleary placed under ar
a colored man. He rashly undertook to
take his prisoner to the station through
West Sixth street. That street between
West End and Amsterdam avenues is
called Cuckoo Row. and here colored
people live by the hdndred- The fact that
one of their race was in the hands of a
policeman was all that several of them
wanted and half dozen of them thought
they would release Hopson- Cleary used
his club and then drew his revolver. BY
threatening to shoot the first man to
other policemen came to his aid. They
arrested George Meyer, also colored.
CIeary said he started the attempted res
cue. Meyer resisted arrest all the way
to the station, and when he got there he
had several scalp wounds. One in par
ticular very large and it was Thought
the negro's skull was fractured
William and Henry Rapp, brothers, and
white, were arrested and locked up on
complaint of Adam Johnson. colored, who
claimed they had stoned him.
The above are only few assaults which
came to light by arrests. The fact is
that all day long the police in the neigh |
borhood mentioned were kept busy dis |
persing small mobs bent mischief. The
consequence is that the force is unusually |
alert and prepared to cope with any Sc
rious trouble should it break out
