A "Reminiscences

The death of Ira d. Sankey and the
song service to commemorate him in St.
Pauls Church on Sunday evening recalls
to mind thirty-one years ago when those
popular songs were first sung in PENIS
Grove during the great revival in En-
manuel Church, conducted by Mrs. Liz
>zie Smith, during the pastorate of Rev.
L.. o. Manchester.
Dwight L. Moody and Ira Shankey in
1875 and 1876 held their famous reviy-
ais i'll the old railroad station in Phila.
delphia where now stands John Wanna
makers store. Some of our citizens at
tended these meeting and the new songs
heard there were made popular all over
the country. The music and words of
several continue to have a power to arouse
religious zeal.
The meetings iii Emmanuel Church
began in December and continued for
three months without stop during
the winter of 1876-77. Freezing wealth
er also continued three months. The
people had little to do then. The meet
ings were largely attended and over a
hundred professed conversion. Much of
the enthusiasm being aroused by the
whole-soul singing of Sankey's songs.
One of the workers in those meetings
was given the nickname of Moody be.
cause of his faithful attendance and earn
est work. He passed away years ago.
Another, was called "Sankey" because
of his great power in leading the sing

buffaloed in six of the seven innings
Two singles in the third was the extent
of their batting but these hits were fruit
less, fast fielding and Morris's superb
pitching killing their chances of scoring
The W runs scored by the visitors in
the first innings were given them as an
act of courtesy. Morris passed the first
a to face him. Hill hit to Morris,
whose tumble gave him first. Sillitoe hit
a warm one to Holmes, who failed to
handle it and Patterson scored. Hill GO
ing to second AM. in trying to reach third
was nailed by Raine. Mccall was safe
on, Prentiss was wasted and Oberly went
out via the Hunter-Cook route.
The P. A. AS collected only five hits
off of Mccall, and these were widely
scattered, one in the first, second and
third and two in the seventh. In the
second the local boys evened up with he.
visitors, scoring two runs ON Oberly's

But now comes forward the LEA.
DER Of the New Democratic party
and many Of his supporters offering
to help us If we will help them. And
since the President Of the United
States is not afraid Of Southern De-
mocrats-EVEN THOSE WHO
FOUGHT TO DESTROY THE UNION
surely we ought not to be afraid to
reach out and take the hand that is
extended to US. 1t is bad politics for
all voters of any race to be on one
side regardless of what may be their
nationality. Wherever we have had
sense enough to help the Democratic
party, notably in New York City, they
have always shown a willingness 70
treat US with consideration. The large
patronage given by Tammany Hall to
the United Colored Democracy, under
the leadership Of Chief Edward Lee
and Mr.. Ralph E Langston is a most
substantial evidence of this fact
This question reminds me Of two

ing you had been prejudiced against
it by reports unfavorable. The first
road is the Republican way which We
have been travelling for forty odd
years, and we are further from the
goal in the Southland, today, than We
were when we started. The other
road is the Democratic way; had We
not better try it a while?
Division Of Vote our only Political
Salvation.
Our franchise is the outcome Of the
Civil War. The Republican party was
in power and In order to retain their
power, the party managers saw that
it was necessary to make an ally Of
the Negro. This was ACCOMPLISH
by the aid of the votes Of the men
who had lost their sons, brothers and
friends on Southern battlefelds and
their treasures in that terrible strug-
gle. They were sore over the matter
and were willing to do anything 10
help the Negroes who had helped
them and who would perpetuate their
reign Of power. Would they do II
today? No. Thus you see that We
had better take advantage Of the
Brownsville incident to divide the
vote. Now is the opportune time IL
we let the opportunity pass, we may
not have another in a quarter OF 4
century.
Now is the opportune time to divide
our vote.

AS has been reported from other
sections, so in Michigan, the recep-
ton Of William Jennings Bryan was
q wonderful and continual ovation
from the time he arrived at $3.50 a.
m. until he left at IL p. m. for Ohio,

greet Mr.. Bryan, who arrived from
Buffalo in company with National
Committeeman E. o. Wood. the genial
political manager from Flint; Mayor
Thompson, Hon. Alfred Lucking and
James Scheruerhorn.
By the time this small party
reached the gates Of the depot thous-
ands of people thronged the depot to
escort the candidate to the Pontcha--
train hotel. The communication in
the morning papers from President
Roosevelt occupied considerable Of
the commoner's morning hours, pre-
pairing an answer. Meantime the
STATE and local Democratic workers
assembled in the convention hall in
The Hotel Pontchartrain and listened
to several rafting good addresses
from State Chairman John T. Win

of the Wayne County Bryan club, in
troduced Hon. Alfred Lucking as
chairman Of the meeting, and he al
ways gets an audience in the best Of
humor by his witty sallies and cut
ting satire. Hon. Lawton T. Hemans
was the first speaker introduced, and
he made a great lift with the big audi
ence. It decidedly looks as though
Mr.. Hemans will be the next governor
Of Michigan If outward appearances
count for anything.
Mr.. Hemans is covering the state

and received q decided ovation when
he said IT would be far better to COM

than to be engaged in an attempt to
govern the Filipino people against

The people inside the armory knew
when Mr.. Bryan arrived outside, as
a shout went up from without that
almost stopped the meeting inside.
The great commoner talked for 20
minutes to the people without before
entering the big hall. When he did
enter he was hailed in a manner with
the demonstration which lasted sew
eral minutes.
Justice for All the People.
For one and three-quarter hours
Mr.. Bryan poured into the ears of his
hearers the soundest logic, deducted
from the fallacy of Republican dogma
and the rule Of special privilege
grafters, and the application Of his
most convincing and invincible argu-
ments. The speaker had the knack
Of bringing a ludicrous situation out
OF every telling point that kept the
great audience in the best Of humor.
The applause was great and frequent,
and another ovation greeted the
mighty commoner when he had fin
ished. Never before was such enthu-
siasm shown among Michigans
Democracy, and it all points to GER
tain victory this fall il this enthusi-
asm is followed up with hard work at
the polls.
Mr.. Bryan's whole argument was
based upon the statement as he
looked directly at the Colored Bryan
club that 'the Democratic party is
interested in the whole people; inter
ested in every element of society, and
demands justice for all as the basis
of cooperation. The Informer, De-
