much applause. In speaking Of our
sociology, he said: you have
brought us here and now you are
trying to rid yourselves of US. Eng
land doesn't want us, what are you
going to do with us? In the Reyolu-
tiorary war we shed our blood in the
cause of our beloved country; in the
civil war you find us here and there,
never flinching from shot and shell;
in peace we are citizens; you your
selves have said so. Then why do
you hate us? We don't want your
white girls, for there are plenty of
our own color for u.s." Rev. Reeves
well deserves the praise that he re-
ceived and Keokuk should be very
proud of him.

woman read an excellent paper on
Booker T. Washington.

DEMOCRATS RULE BOSTON.
ELECT THEIR CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR By
OVERWHELMING MAJORITY-HOLD BOTH
BRANCHES OF CITY GOVERNMENT.

Boston. Dec. 10.-rhe Democrats completely
overw hemed the Republicans in the city cleo
ton to-day. General Patrick a. Collins being
elected over Mayor Thomas N Hart by the
largest plurality in a quarter Of century. The
Democrats also obtained control of both
branches OF the city government, elected their
street Commissioner. Salem D. Charles. and
practically all their candidates for School Com
missioners. AS usual the city voted strongly In
favor of license.
The result Of the contest was as much sur
prise to the Democrats to their opponents
The most sanguine Democratic prophet last
night claimed only 1000, yet this plurality was
nearly tripled. Two years ago Mayor Hart de-
feated General Collins by 2.2S1 votes and polled
more than 10000. This year the total Republi-
can vote for Mayor was a trihe $4,000. the
smallest given to party candidate for Mayor
since 1893 despite registration of almost 30
per cent larger. General Collins received more
than - 600 votes, the largest in the history OF
the city, and he carried eighteen of the twenty
five wards.
The Republican leaders tonight were inclined
to blame the weather but this does not account
for the tremendous gains made by the Demo
Gratis In Republican wards. Naturally there was
great excitement in the close wards. and in
South Boston two prominent Republican politi-
clans arrested suspicion of obtaining
repeaters. This, however the only un-
fortunate feature of the day.
