actor in the Democratic politics at
the time:
when reached my place of
business about s O'Clock on the
morning of election l found a col
ored man, whom l had never seen
before, and a white Democratic
worker with whom l was we'll ac-
quainted, awaiting me.
The white man opened business
by saying: This man wants to
vote for Mr.. Walsh, but he is
afraid to go to- the polls without
white protection, and we want you
to go with us.
turned to the colored man and
asked him his name and where he
was registered. He answered
promptly, giving his name and
stating that he was registered in
the Fourth district and voted at
the Pioneer engine house. This
was correct at that time. I then
said to him: do you really de-
sire to vote for Mr. Walsh?" His
reply was: Il surely do. Mr..
Walsh was good to me and helped
me when l needed it, and l am
going 10 vote for him, or l am not
going to vote at all | want YOU
to go along with me and see me
have a fair show.
His appearance and the fact that
he gave no hint of wanting any
thing for his vote impressed me
and l said:
II will go with you and protect
you to the best Of my ability"
When we turned into Center
street from Baltimore, the crowd
blocked the street from the engine
house down as far as Buffers and
when the polls opened a line was
formed extending half way down
Center. placed the coIored man
in the line just ahead of me and
this act of mine Attracted the no.

and i'll a moment there was a line
up around US Efforts were made
to take the colOred man 5 ticket
away from him. l warned several
Republicans that | knew very well
not to attempt that again and sev-
eral prominent Democrats Joined
with me in the warning. For
moment it looked like a riot, but
the COlOred man seemed sure of
protection and stood his ground
bravely.
4 knot of excited Democrats
followed us fer our protection as
near the window as the partition
that had been erected would per
NIT, and the negro opened his
ticket so as to expose it, called his
name, which was promptly found,
and the ballot went in the box.
He remained close to me until
had voted and the colored brother
and his Democratic friend passed
unmolested through the crowd. l
kept with him until we reached
Baltimore street, where he thanked
me, said he felt perfectly safe ard
took the route toward the coal
wharves, where he said he was en-
ployed.
The result of the election was
not definitely ascertained for sew
eral days, the news from Sang
Run, Garrett county, upon which
it hinged, having been delayed in
some way. The returns from this
district did not give the Republi-
cans TIE majority they expected,
and Mr.. Walsh pulled through by
a majority less than one hundred.
Then the Democracy of Allie
gany went wild, and the victory
was celebrated by the largest and
most enthusiastic torch light pa
radc and illumination ever seen in
Cumberland. Preparations for it
consumed nearly a week and large
delegations with banners and
transparencies came from every

PASSING OF CHINATOWN.


For many years the law abiding and
decent element Of San Francisco has
urged the blotting out Of Its Chinatown.
Nature has solved the problem. 1t was
too involved for human solution. but
the earthquake and the fire accom-
plished 1t so thoroughly that no doubt
remains. There may never be another
San Francisco Chinatown on the old
site. When the new city rises out OF
the desoation which has fallen upon
the old one there will be little to recall
the alien, albeit alluring glimpse of
Asiatic life that once stood out so Wv
idly amid the rush and insistence Of
Western progress.
The earthquake and the fire revealed
to the shudderlng world the depth OF
the infamy that had found lodgment
there. Thirty thousand Chinese inhab-
tied this unsavory quarter, ten city
blocks, only six squares from what
was known as Newspaper corner. They
had converted the frame buildings
which covered the district into plague
spots. In which they lived the strange.
discordant lives Of the Oriental lower
classes. Their daily walk was fash
Toned after a pattern quite unknown to
those of the West. and they gave allie
glance to laws and customs entirely
distinct from those of their near neigh
bOrs. For years they have been mys-
terry even to those whose business 1t
was to know them intimately. They
have def1ed successfully all the efforts
Of San Francisco's police force to find
them out. 1t has taken nature to pen

they do so we'll returning to their
cramped and sin infested quarter at
nghtfall. There the real living day Of
Chinatown was just dawning. and the
narrow lanes were beginning to CLEAN
allurlngly beneath the soft light OF col
ored lanterns. and the shops. theaters.
Joss houses and restaurants were max
ing ready for the daily harvest.
The old Chinatown will never be re-
stored writes G. H. Picard. The fiat
has already gone forth. and hereafter
all Celestals in the vicinity Of the Gold
en- Gate will be urged to settle only
