THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. FOR MR. BRADSHAW His Boom for Republican Delegate Launched last Night. Meeting at Booker’s Park Draws a Large Audience—Mr. Keys’ Can- vass for Delegate. A large and enthusiastic meeting of the republicans of the District took piace at Booker’s Park last evening. The jarge pavilion was decorated with flags and bunt- ing and the Capital City Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. George Brown, enter- tained .the audience’ with musical airs. When the meeting was called to order by Mr. Willian H. Booker, the chairman ci the Twenty-first District Association, there was a large crowd in attendance, and it in- creased in numbers as the speechmaking proceeded. After calling the assembly to order, Mr. Booker requested Richard T. Smith to preside, and introduced the var- ious speakers. In calling the meeting to order, Mr. Smith said that the meeting was held for the purpose of the republicans in that section of the city renewing their al- legiance to the cause of republicanism; to discuss the feasibility of the restoration of the right of suffrage to the peopie of the District, and to consider the availability of the different candidates who aspired to rep- resent the District in the next national re- publican convention. He predicted republi- can success in the elections. Cpening Speech. As the first speaker, the chairman intro- duced Mr. Bruce Evans, who talked briefly upon the principles of the republican party and the duties and responsibilities of Amer- ican citizenship. His remarks were ad- dressed mostly to the young men in at-. tendance upon the meeting, and he urged upon them the necessity of being good citi- zens, and to make themselves useful men to their race and country. He urged the restoration of the right of suffrage here and without favoring any one he spoke of the qualifications of all the aspirants to the national republican convention. Send Good Men. The next speaker introduced was Mr. Thomas L. Jones, who said that as he was not a citizen of the District, he did not desire to urge the candidacy of any one as the delegate to the convention, but he did desire to say something upon the question of suffrage, as he believed that the people here ought to be emancipated from the evils with which they are surrounded “It is wrong,” he said, “that we should be taxed and vet have no representation in Congress. The immortal words of Patrick Henry—‘no taxation without representa- tion’—ought to apply with equal force to the District, as it did to the American colo- nies. We should not be robbed of our rights of suffrage, because such great men as Lincoln, Sumner and Henry have de- clared that the right of suffrage is the first of rights. We must protest, we must ap- peal to public sentiment, for all ears are opened to the cries of the oppressed. You Want to send delegates to the national convention, who will vote for some one for President who will see to it that the mighty American ballot is restored to you.” He said that all of the candidate were friends of his, and if it were in his power he would send them all to the na- tional convention, and then would request that he be made chairman of the national convention. Mr. Keys’ Candidacy. As the next speaker Mr. Smith introduced Robert H. Keys, the South Washington candidate, as the colored delegate to the convention, Mr. Keys was received with much applause, and announced that he was a candidate for the honor of represent- ing the colored people here in the national convention, and that he wanted the sup- port of the people in that section of the city. He declared that he would only use legitimate means to secure his election. He felt confident of winning, because he thought the people wanted a young man to represent them. He took occasion to say that Perry Carson had broken up the other meetings which had been held in the vari- ous sections of the city, and he thought this had done Carson’s cause much injury. He said that if the people were honest about suffrage that they would have to send different men to the convention from the two that have been sent for the past twelve years. “They have represented you,” he said, “for twelve years, and yet have done nothing to further the cause in which the people here were so much in- terested. Send two new men, instruct them what to do, and you will perceive a change.” He announced that he would make an aggressive campaign, and that he solickhstashe support of all the people in Sa Rick oot them honestly and earn- estly represented. For Mr. Bradshaw. Having announced himself as the candi- date for colored delegate, S. H. Brooks, the next speaker, and the secretary of the Twenty-first Ward Association, launched a boom for Aaron Bradshaw, the chairman of the central republican committee, as the white delegate. Mr. Brooks had a type- written speech, which he delivered with good effect, and in which he decried the idea which was recently proposed of the selection of two white delegates to the con- vention. He said: “Many gentlemen have been highly hon- ered by the party here without regard to color, and it is a surprise to me, as it must be to every true republican, that at this late day in our party history we should find white men who, having thus been hon- ored, and who are now in the field hoping for further honors, are endeavoring to in- ject the question of color into our organiza- tion and the election of two white delegates from this District to the national republi- can convention. I remark upon this ini- portant question because of a lengthy ar- ticle published in The Evening Star of August 9, 1895, and the reply thereto of Mr. Aaron Bradshaw, the honored chair- man of che republican central committze. It will be observed that the question of color is never raised by sensible men of our race, of which fact I am proud, and I am astounded that one of the gentlemen named in The Star article should haye at- tempted that role, when every political honor—end he has had mapy in this city- was given him mostly at the hands of col- ored men, and I might say against the de- sires and wisnes of a great majority of the white republicans of this District. “Be sure that in the coming election of delegates you elect true and tried republi- cans, who will not forget the principles of our party. “I congratulate the republicans of this elty, and especially those of the twenty- first district, in having so able a defender of our party’s principles as Mr. Bradshaw, the able chairman of the central commit- tee. We all know him as the one fearless republican who has for many years been almost the one exponent of republican principles, and at times when to be an act- ive republican meant social ostracism, as- Saults and business opposition. But through it all he has carried the banner, and is the same today as he was in 1868, at the commencement of his political ca— reer. In honoring him we honor ourselves, and prove to our unrelenting enemies that We are true to our friends, and that grat- itude with us means more than words. “The republican party of this District would honor itself by sending Mr. Brad- shaw to the national convention as one of the delegates, provided ha will consent to be a candidate. His election should be unanimous. I am proud that he belongs in the twenty-first district, and we are proud of him; proud of him because of his mod- esty, fearlessness, sazacity and cutspoken sentiments for true republican principles, If he-desires to be a delegat2 I am for him above all others; we owe it to him, and he deserves it.” At the conclusion of Mr. Brooks’ speech the chairman thanked the audience for the order and decorum of the meeting, and de- clared the meeting adjourned.

Extra for Labor Day. Steamer Richmond will leave same as regular schedule, 9 a.m.—Adyt. THE LABOR UNIONS Considerable Dissatisfaction Expressed at the Action of the Marine Band. Criticism on the Conduct of Prof. Fanciulli—Other Business of Im- portance Transacted. There was a good deal of discussion at the meeting last night of the Plasterers’ Union over the disappointment that the members will probably experience by not Betting one section of the Marine Band to accompany them in the Labor day parade, as the band had contracted to do, and Prof. Fanciulli came in for a yery large share of censure. The Plate Printers’ Union, which was to have the second sec- tion of the band, went to work as soon as it beceme known that Assistant Secretary McAdoo would issue an order for the band to go to Philadelphia on that day, and managed to secure the band of the fourth artillery regiment. it is quite unlikely that the plasterers will have to do without music altogether during the parade, as committees have been sent to several points where there are excellent bands, and they have instructions to secure a band no matter what the ex- bense may be. In the discussion of the matter Assistant Secretary McAdoo was held to be blame- Jess, and the generally expressed opinion was that the fault in causing the trouble rested entirely on Prof. Fanciulli. Assembly No. 66. The action. of the Marine Band toward the Plate Printers and Plasterers’ Unions formed the chief topic of consideration at last night's meeting of District Assembly No. 66, Knights cf Labor. The report of the committee appointed to call on Assistant Secretary McAdvo to pro- test against the sending of the band to Philadelphia, which was composed of Messrs. M. F. Hobbs, W. H. Stickel, S. A. Clements, Charles J. Wells and John B. Ireland, was submitted, and stated that Mr. McAdoo had informed the committee that some time ago he was called on per- senally by Prof. Fanciulli, who then asked that the band be sent to Philadelphia en Labor day, and that he was astonished to learn that Prof. Fanciulli had entered into contracts with Washinaten organizations for the same occasion. The report further stated that Mr. McAdoo did not mince his words in giving his opinion of the course of Prof. Fanciulli in the matter. In the course of the discussion of the subject several members of the committee Stated that Prof. Fanciulll yesterday ad- mitted to them that he wanted to go to Philadelphia because for his services there he is to receive $100, and that each member of the band will get $12, which is much more than they had agreed to play for here. Carpenters’ Council. Carpenters’ Council held a long and in- teresting meeting last night, with President R. R. Rhodes, presiding, and Mr. Victor F. Montgomery, secretary. Much gratification was expressed that the hitch, which had occurred in regard to hiring the Laurel Band, has been en- tirely smoothed over, and that therefore the band will precede the carpenters in the procession on Labor day. Mr. E. H. Morsell was highly commend- ed by a number of the delegates for his action in presenting the council with four lerge nandsome silk United States flags, which will be carried for the first time in public in the coming parade. Mr. Morseil Was tendered a unanimous vote of thanks for this and many other acts of kindness gone in the past toward the craft gener- ally. : Secretary Mongomery read a letter,which he had received from Mr. R, B. Grover of Brockton, Mass., of the Emerson Shoe Com- pany, in reply to a communication sent by the former in reference to the employment of union labor on the building Mr. Grover is having remodeled her The letter stated that the writer was much surprised to learn that his work in Washington was being done by non-union men, and that he has awarded the contract for the com- pletion of the improvements to Mr. E. B. Ferguson of Brooklyn, N. Y.,- who em- ploys none but union men. The secretary was requested to write to Mr. Ferguson and request him to give the Work to mechanics whose homes are in Washington. The committee appointed to . Gecrge Klenke, who is having several houses constructed in the northwest section of the city, reported haying done so, and that during a very Satisfactory interview, Mr, Klenke promised that none but union men shall be employed on the job. Mr. Frank Flynn was elected marshal for the Labor day procession, and he will have several assistants from among the jembers of the unions which are repre- £ented in the council. Mr. Morgan Swingle was admitted as a_delegate from Carpenters’ Assembly, No. 1748, to succeed Mr. Fred. L, Harries, who had resigned. Protective Street Railway Unton. The Protective Street Railway Union last night completed arrangements for the La- bor day parade. They will have as a float @ street car, which will be handsomely decorated and drawn by six fine horses. Funds were voted, in accordance with the ccnstitution, for five members, who were reported sick. The Steam Fitters. The Steam Fitters’ Association at their meeting last night appointed a committee to call on the representative of the Camp- bell-Zell Company, which has charge of the heating arrangements at the new Lafayette Square Opera House, and see if they will not give their work to union men. Messrs. McShane & Co. were tendered a vote of thanks for the offer of a four-horse Wagon to be used during the parade on Labor day. It is expected that the members will turn out in full force for the parade and that the Steam Fitters—a new organization—will parade with them. Iron and Cornice Workers. The Galvanized Iron and Cornice Work- ers at their meeting last night completed arrangements for the Labor day parade and indorsed the action of the Federation in placing the Eckington road and branches on the unfair list. The Granite Cutiers will have a special meeting tomorrow night at their hall for the purpose of distributing to those desir- ing them the uniforms to be worn on La- bor day. ——————— Made a Promise. Policeman Greer of the fourth police pre- cinct went out on special duty last Sun- day, his mission being to learn, if Possible, whether or not the liquor law was bemg violated in Frank Hall's saloon, corner of 7th and K streets southwest. Accord- ing to the officer's statement he found a number of persons in “the temporary sar in the back room, which was reached through the stable. Two days ago the offi- cer rade an affidavit in the office of Pros- ecuting Attorney Pugh. Upon this affida- vit he thought a warrant would issue, but no warrant has been Issued, and it is lik that the saloon keeper will not be prose- cuted. Mr. Pugh sent for Hall, and the latter promised that if not prosecuted this time he will hereafter comply with the law. —— ‘ Reduced Rates to Near-By Points in Virginia, Account of National Labor Day, Monday, September 2, 1805.

THEY WERE SORRY Prisoners in the Police Qourt Repented of Tranagressions, Some Were Lucky Enough to Get on, While Others Will Serve Time. Arihur Rurgess has been off the farm sev- eral days, but last night he again fell from grace. He is one of the many regular suests at the Police Court, and all his trov- ble results irom his failure to control dis appetite for strong drink. When ke took his first drink yesterday he had no idea of getting drunk, but one drink was followed by another, and finally, about 11 o'clock, he Was no longer able to navigate, and so he dropped by the wayside. Policeman W. J. Rodgers happened to pass along Benning road and when he saw the victim of aico- holic stimulants lying across the sidewalk he got off his horse and aroused him. Al- though Burgess was very much under the influence of liquor, he had sense enough to answer the officer's questicrs. “Where do you liye?” was the first ques- tion asked. “Out on Benning road,” he answered. The kind-hearted officer saw no reason why he should arrest Arthur for this minor offense, and so he picked him up and led him off in the direction of where he lived. Arriving at his supposed destination the officer asked to be shown his house, in order that’ he might put him inside, but the drunken man was no longer submis- sive. He became noisy and profane and was also using indecent Ianguage when the officer informed him that to the lockup he must go. “If I go PM be d—4,” said Burgess, but his resistance was met with a slap in the fage, and this had a quieting effect. The officer's hand did not cut him, but his nose bled, and this morning when he was ready for court his face was so. badly discolored that he hardly recognized him- self. Had he gone quietly with the officer he Would have been resting quietly in his mother’s house this morning, but as he was so loud and profane he found himself on an iron cot and was given a free ride to court, where he was the leader of Judge Scott's procession. “I am very sorry I got drunk last night,” he said, “and I'll be thankful if you will let me off. I worked very hard all day and was worn out and thought I would. take a drink. TI only took three drinks and they went to my head.” Arthur made an earnest plea for his lib- erty, but a fine of $5 was imposed, and he stepped back. Another Victim, John Beet, another victim of whisky, was in the procession for indecent conduct resulting from overindulgence. “I hadn't taken a drink for some time before yesterday,” he said, “and the drink I tovk went to my head.” The prisoner made a promise that he would never again touch liquor -and said his littie children would suffer by his im- prisonment. Beet was making a lengthy speech when Judge Scott, interrupting, said: ‘Don't talk so much and do more acting. In consideration of his plea of poverty h the judge said he would give him a trial and released him en his personal bonds. Frank Johnson, a colored man, dressed in the clothes of a “crap shooter,” was in court as a vagrant and suspicious person bechuse he was found loitering about South Washington. “{ belong in Charleston, S. C.,” said the prisoner, “and I’m on my way home from vania, where I was working.” “Do your parents jive here?” Judge Scott asked. “No, sir, but I have an uncle here," he answered. you seen him?” didn’t come here to see him.” r Bacon had a case this morning. client was Rosa Blue, a colored wi man, who was charged, with Jessie Mor- ton, with having been engaged in a street scene y ‘day. : The lawyer made a speech for his client and succeeded in getting her released, while her companion, who had no counsel, was fined $3 or nine days. Vagrancy Cases. Willism Fields, an Anacostia colored boy, Was complained against by Policeman Al- Jen as an alleged vagrant, but the proof against him was not sufficient. “He has’ no home,’’ ss the statement made, but it was shown that the boy had worked for his food and lodging. Judge Scott discharged him from cus- tody. A colored woman named Julia Taylor was in the procession as a vagrant. “She has deserted two small children,” said Policeman Colbert, “and gone to live with a man who is not her husband.” “What has become of the man whom she deserted?” asked the court. “He has the two children, and has nired voman to take care of them.” ‘Do you know this woman?” “Yes, sir; and she’s been thé cause of getting more men in trouble than any other woman I know.” Julia denied that her reputation was such as stated by the officer, and said that the childrea were being well cared for. Witnesses said that the woman was dis- orderly on the street, and the judge said that the wreng charge had been made against the woman, have no doubt that she was disorder- y,"’ the judge said, “but the proof does not show her to be a vagrant.” Italian Cases. Three Italians, Joseph Marinelli, Vincent Gerard and Pasquale Gerard, were brought inte the court because Policeman Flynn ar- rested them for standing on the sidewalk in frent of the court. The defendants denied the charge, and claimed that the policeman passed some colored men and arrested them. “This is the first time I have ever heard this charge made against the officer,” said the jud, “Policeman Flynn is a first- class cfficer, and has a difficult duty to perfcrm. Like others, he is liable to make a mistake sometimes. As these men had business in court, I am going to pass this by and take their personal bonds.” “Half the people in Washington are un- der their personal bonds,” remarked Mr. Pugh. Seven big colored men were in court be- cause they had engaged in a game of crap yesterday, and the charge against them was disorderly assembly. The men plead guilty, or fifteen days each. Following these came several other men and boys, who had been arrested for minor offenses, and the penalties were made to suit the charges. —_——__. Snatched #« Peckethook. Yesterday morning: a colored man snatched a purse from the hand of a small child as she was passing along D strat southeast, on her way to the store for her mother’s supply of groceries. The pocket- book contained $5. The little girl seized the man by his coat tails and screamed lustily, Her cries soon drew a large crowd about them, which were, :however, of no assist- ance to the little one, for the man struck her a blow, and, releasing himself from her hold on him, fied with the purse down the alley toward C street. The child ran crying home. The \policemen arrived too late to do anything. ——— Re-Election ef Officers. Farragut Relief Gorps, W. R.

Following this decision the reading of re- ports from the churches was continued. Three new churches reported for member- ship in the association and were accepted. The reports from the missionaries were submitted, and they told of the work that had been accomplished by them during the year, and the thanks of the association were extended to them for their faithful work. The moderator then announced the fol- lowing as the missionaries for the ensuing year: Rey. J. H. Lindsey to Virginia, Rey. N. A. Kyle to Baltimore, Rev.

Resolutions were adopted thanking the congregation of the Mt. Zion Church for its entertainment of the visit- ors, and the thanks of the association were also extended to The Star “for its very liberal reports of the proceedings of the association.” Last night the association assembled for the last time. The services consisted of the administration of the Lord’s supper and the brethren “broke bread together,” and the meeting was a regular love feast, and then, according to the Baptist custom, “they sang a hymn and went out,” and the nineteenth and most successful session of the Mt. Bethel Baptist Association was closed. ——. __ Street Extension.

P.H.Finley & Son, 1206 D St. aud-1m,18 First Section, Sheldon Jackson, the owner of lots 5, 6 and 7, block 2, Whitney Close, late yester- day afternoon filed a bill in equity against the District Commissioners, praying that théy be restrained from placing on record with the District surveyor the approved map of the first section of the proposed plan of street extensions. The complainant states that if the plan submitted by the Commissioners, and approved by the Sec- retaries of War and of the Interior and the chief of engineers, be sustained, lots 6 and 7 will have no outlet, Warder street, on which they face, being closed. Hence, he claims that he would be deprived of val- uable property rights, and the value of his Property greatly depreciated. He claims that the act authorizing the extension of streets is unconstitutional, because, as he alleges, it fails to provide for injury done property owners in such a case. Therefore, he prays that the Commissioners be en- joined from recording this map or any oth- er map, under the provisions of the act of Congress, indicating Warder street as abandoned, and that the act in so far as it relates to the abandonment of existing streets and highways may be declared un- constitutional.
