TALKING FOR THE CANDIDATES Going the Round of the Election Districts. CARSON’S ORATORS The almost abandoned ballroom of the Schuetzen Park, on the 7th street road, was. lighted up last night. Several big coal oil lamps cast an uncertain light through the building, which, with the exception of a’few benches and a table, was bare of all fur- niture. The erstwhile scene of a thousand jollifications, where countless kegs of beer and a myriad of pretzels and hot sausages tended to make life worth living, was changed. The place was as damp and cold as an ice box. But into this hall the followers of Saun- ders and Holland came and wandered abéut, because it was too cold to sit down. It was nearly 9 o’clock when the beating of drums was heard by the faithful within, and the Pickarinny Drum Corps came into the hall amid a clash of sound. W. G. Smith was chosen chairman of the i and W. G. Tyler was made sec- . E. H. Lee was selected as ser- geant-at-arms, and the meeting was about to ‘proceed to business, when a very order- ly and reverend-looking colored man step- ped forward and inquired of the presid- ing officer: “Has yo fo'got de chaplain, Mr. Chair- man?” The chairman looked guilty, and said they must, of course, have a chaplain so that the meeting could be opened with prayer. He appointed Rev. Mr. Hender- son chaplain, and that gentleman invoked the divine biessing on the proceedings of the evening. The Ball Opened. It was announced that it was in order for some one to speak in behalf of the candidacy of W. F. Thomas as an alter- nate to the convention, but the expected advocates of Mr. Thomas did not show up. Finally G. W. Ray came forward amid ap- plause. He safd the colored people of the District of Columbia were in a deplorable condition, and twenty-five years behind their fellow men in the states. He said the colored people had chosen men to repre- sent them in the convention because of their physical rather than intellectual abil- ity. He challenged any one to show what Mr. Gleeson had ever done for the honor that had been conferred on him by the colored people, except to secure govern- ment contracts to cut streets and avenues in the District. “Who has he employed?” Mr. Ray ask- ed. “Colored men? Of course. Why? Be- cause the wages he paid were such that white men would not accept them.” Other Speeches. This statement was greeted by a storm of applause, and the speaker then spoke in laudatory terms of Mr. Saunders, who, he said, should be sent to St. Lowis. At about this time in the evening John M. Langston, L. M. Saunders and Mr. Hol- land arrived, and there was a tremendous uproar, so noisy was the greeting accorded them. Mr. Thomas L. Jones, a lawyer and a ready speaker, addressed the audience for: a while in favor of Mr. Saunders, and then Mr. Langston gave a stirring speech, which kept the attention of the people for half an eur. L. M. England, R. H. Sayers and T. J. ar also spoke in favor of the favorites he meeting. The Eleventh District. There were a number of good speeches, plenty of enthusiasm and a little disorder at the political rally last night in the eleventh dist The meeting was held in Blake's Hall, on 7th street, and was largely attend- ed. It was strictly a Gleeson and Bailey "meeting, and the presiding officer, fearful lest some coup would be tried by the other delegates, announced as each speaker con- cluded his remarks that no one in the inter- est of any other candidate save Gleeson and Bailey would be heard. He fortified his po- ion later by making out a list of those whose oratorical abilities he desired to pre- sent, and allowed no one else’ to speak, al- though there were frequent calls for others. The majority of the audience was of the colored persuasion, but. the>Caacasian mi- rority was by no means a despised few. When the hour for opening arrived there were few people in the hall, but by 9 o’clock there was scarcely standing room. It was a well-behaved audience, too, and the only disturbance that marred the meeting was the persistent cheering and interruption of one of the speakers by a young man who declared in ao uncertain language his ap- proval of Keys. Fearfal Threat. Coleman Horner presided and threw ter- ror into the hearts of the disturbing ele- ment by declaring if they persisted in talk- ing to each other during speechmaking he would see to it that they would not vote on the 28th. “Luk hyar, nigger, how’s you gwine to keep me frum votin’,” queried one of the disturbers, but the chairman shook his head ominously and did not delga a reply. The chairman opened the evening exer- cises, he said, by introducing James Lewis, a young and rising orator. Gleeson and Bailey. James was waiiing for his cue from a vantage point on the hot side of the stove, and strede forward with a Daniel Webster stride to the center of the room. He was no orator, he said, but desired to make a mark in history, and thought he was on the right track. They were on the very verge of a precipice which their ancestors had refused to remember. He proposed to attack Perry Carson, “the man what had been triumphed a number of times, but accomplished nothing.” He went to the convention, and the only thing they ever heard of him was a little torch-light pro- cession after it was all over. Bailey and Gleeson, however, are the mén to do the work, and if the storms didn’t destroy the wires they’d hear from them the day the next President was nominated. He implor- ed his hearers to vote for Bailey and Glee- son, and said when their children cried from the bloody flood, “Father, you have followed Carson or we wouldn’t’ have been here, they would realize their mistake.” He questioned Col. Carson's title, and said he didn’t know what he was colonel of. It was his impression a “click” was at work to break up meetings, and that cer- tain men in power had bought up some people to make fusses and disturbances. It was funny, anyhow, no one was ever arrested. High Flights. At this stage of the proceedings Candi- date Bailey exitered, and he received an ovation. Lewis Willis came next, and pre- faced his remarks with the statement that he had “no pearls in his mout and was no orator.” He thought there was too much ignorance and jealovsy portrayed at meet- ings, and the sisters of this and that who continually interrupted the proceedings showed their ignorance of “partramentary- ism.” “As Hamlet says,” continued the speaker, “from the top of your head to your bottom be true. These hyar pints of order and quarts made gallons, and soon they would have the whole Potomac river up for order.” Some one objected to the manner of speech, and suggested that the speaker talk about Bailey and Gleeson. After re- questing the chairman to take that time out and give him credit for it he resumed, and said the republicans of the eleventh district wanted to send a man to the con- vention with some brains, and not because he had a gigantic frame and African fea- tures. He thought Andrew Gleeson would represent the republicans of the District of Columbia with credit because he was a man true to himself and true to his trust. “You have sent the Black Hooker of the Tiber to the convention twice, and if the President of the United States can’t have ® third term, why should he? Why, July Caesar peers PS, arpa, fee at Rome for ‘Against Carson, It was the political zenith of Mr. Sersey’s life, so he sald, to be able to speak before such a distinguished assembly,- and the crowd gave him a round of applause. His choice of candidates to the national convention was Bailey and Gleeson. Oar- son had done nothing for the negro. When he came into the District there was suf- frage, but under Carson's rule it had been lost. Three-rousing cheers for Gleeson and Bailey closed his speech, and John W. Freeman, the Thomas Platt of the Dis- trict republicans, came forward. He told in an interesting way how he and Carson ran things. It was a job whereby a dele- gate to the local convention for select- ing delegates could not serve unless his credentials were signed by the president of the meeting. All they had to do was to fix the presidents, and they signed the credentials of Carson’s friends, yes, even though they received but three votes while some one else got 300 votes. It was a cute trick, and he was guilty likewise. After paying a compliment to Bailey he referred to Andy Gleeson as the best friend the workingman of Washington ever had. ‘He was and has always been our friend,” he said, “and he ought to go to the con- vention, if for no other reason than bis honesty. He it was who opposed the can- didates being their own supervisors. Glee- son’s pocket book was always open to the Poor workingman, and his heart was as big as an ox for truth, justice and repub- licanism.”” Stirred His Hearers. Then came Richard Laws, who spoke for half an hour. He stirred his hearers to cheers, and sounded the praises of Gleeson and Builey as they never were heard be- fore. In an interesting way he traced the history of the old District government, and told how we came to have a territorial form of government. Speaking of the negro in municipal office, he said that while they paid taxes on over a million dollars’ worth of property, their representation in the local offices was exceeding small. Only two colored men were in the fire depart- ment, while only fourteen policemen out of 458 were negroes. The Italians of the city, however, paying taxes on only $30,000 worth of property, had thirty-two police- men and fwo sergeants on the force. There were no colored water or health inspectors. It had been urged that the negro was not susceptible of development and self-gov- ernment, but that was 4 fallacy. Give them a chance, and time would show. Re- ferring to the suffrage question, he said that the Constitution had been abridged, and it was the inalienable right of every man to exercise his manhood at the polls. He interspersed his speech with a number of anecdotes. He closed by urging his fel- low men to vote for Gleeson and Bailey. The Other Speakers. J. Hall Sypher preceded Candidate Bailey in a speech of advice and for suffrage. Candidate Bailey was anxious to know be- fore starting his speech the object of the meeting. The chairman informed him it was for Bailey and Gleeson and no one else. This was reassuring, and Mr. Bailey explained that it was always well to know how matters stood. He had listened to his antagonists time and time again, but now was the time to stop. It was getting too near election day. He said he wanted to go to the convention to represent and not misrepresent the colored people as they had been for years past. He threw down the gauntlet, he said, in South Washington, and was coming down there on election day and open the doors of the voters who the other candidate thought he had locked up, and divide the vote with him. H. A. Davis followed and then W. Calvin Chase was introduced. He cautioned his hearers not to be over confident. The old war horse Carson was a foeman worthy of their steel. He had met him upon many a battlefield and knew the man. They would hear from him on the 28th. The forces of the opposition were well organ- ized and that was what they should do. He thought these meetings would be the death to local self-government, because the meetings are so disorderly the white re- publicans will not help them. The last speaker was not a Bailey and Gleeson man. He was for himself, and said so plainly, giving facts from the past history of the republican party in the Dis- trict. It was Aaron Bradshaw. He traced the history q§ Washington through all of its political struggles and pointed with pride to the part he had taken. He was a candidate and wanted to represent them. He had proven equal to the trust in the past and would do so in the future. The meeting then quietly adjourned. A Joint Meeting. The Parker and Carson Clubs of the fifth, sixth and seventh districts held a big joint meeting last evening in Green's Hall, 1719 Pennsylvania avenue. The hall was packed with colored men who for two hours listened to some rattling speeches end fought hard over parliamentary ques- tions that were started by the organiza- tion of the meeting and the election of officers. It was not known that Col. Parker had withdrawn from the contest for con- vention honors, and the result was that the candidates in whose favor the meeting was held, Col. Parker, Perry Carson, W. F. Thomas and J. W. Bell, received a hearty indorsement from those present. The meeting was called to order by F. D. Lee, who had been appointed chairman at a preliminary meeting of the committee of the three clubs, but no sooner had he taken the chair than an effort was made to oust him on the ground that he was acting as a dictator, and that the meeting ought to have some say in the matter. Mr. Lee stated in the beginning that some of the most disorderly meetings ever held in this city had been held in this hall, and he an- nounced that strict rules of order had been adopted to prevent any trouble this time. The rules were very simple. They were to the effect that any person who did not comport himself properly would be put out instanter. He stated that Mr. L. M. Saunders, one of the candidates, had let them have the hall at reduced rates on condition that one of his lieutenants be al- lowed to speak in his behalf. Opposed to Caucus Methods. At this point the opposition to the cut and dried method of appointing officers was sprung. An energetic young colored man by the name of Samuel Jackson nominated James A. Perry as permanent chairman, but Mr. Lee gave him to under- stand that the committees of the three dis- tricts intended Jerry M. Matthews to be the presiding officer of the evening. There- upon one of Lee’s backers arose in the audience to a “point on the proceedings’’ and argued that any attempt to boost in new officers from the floor would be out of crder. Others held that it was a joint meeting, and that in the interest of wel- fare an1 harmony they should be allowed to choose their own president. Mr. Lee ruled that Jackson’s nomination was out of order. An appeal from his decision was taken, and in the midst of great confusion and disorder the chairman announced that his decision had been upheld. Jackson made a vigorous speech, in which he ob- jected to the chairman’s action as “being impartial,” whereas, in his opinion, a pre- siding officer ought always to act in a partial manner. At this point Mr. Mat- thews took the chair. He was the bigest man in the crowd, weighing upward of 300 pounds, and as he was armed with a walk- ing stick, big in proportion, the noise he made when he rapped for order drowned all opposition from the audience, and he won his point every time. D. F. Batts was the first speaker of the evening, the platform being granted him that he might say a few words in the in- terests of Mr. Saunders. In the course of his address he said that the manner in which the colored people carried them- selves in these meetings would have much to do with the question whether they would get what they are contending for. He said that the people of the District are unarm- ed, for the ballot is the weapon of the freedman in fighting for his rights. He quoted from the Bible, from Josephus and from Hiawatha to prove that people who fight among themselves ‘will surely fade away and die.” z Mixed, but Eloquent. Speaking of Carson he said he had been misunderstood. “I say to you that if Perry Carson were dead and in his coftin, and every person in Washington, especially col- ored people, should lay a single bud above his body he would sleep beneath a wilder- ness of roses. Still there is something in having a man who has an influence with the powers that be. Mr. Saunders is a busi- ness man who exemplifies the rule I now lay down for you. Get money. I say to you, friends, get money. There isn’t a col- ored man in this hall but a silver dollar will cover his face from any white man in Washington. Money will change the color of your face, straighten your hair, diminish the size of your nose and alter the shape of your heel.” J. W. Coles was the next speaker, and he began in a most eloquent manner. “Judging from your appearance,” he said, “and the applause that’has greeted the mention of our candidate's name, I say un- to you we have saddled White Surrey and Col. H.-Carson ig his name.” Carson, he said, was the man to represent the peo- ple, for he has lots dnfluence and is in touch with the lead of the republican ty. In conclusion he introduced a reso- lution indorsing Cai ind Parker as dele- gates, ard the other two as alternates. In the vote that feHowed it was pretty hard to tell what the spirit of the meeting was. They seemed tt all right toward Carson, but a vocifel attempt was made to have Col. Parker's name eliminated from the resolution. A division was called for and while the vote was being taken there was considerable exqrament occasioned by the efforts of a Bailey man, well gone in liquor, to break up. meeting. He be- came very obstrepe! } and it took two big sergeants-at-arms to squelch him prop- erly. Finally the ch@trman announced that the resolution had been adopted, and his statement was received with rapturous ap- plause. The next speaker was J. C. Wright, who said that he was a college man and pretty well educated, but even if Carson is an ig- norant man he for ong was willing to trust his destiny to the keeping of such an one. For the wisest of all men said: “Get wis- dom, but with all thy getting get under- standing,” and Col. Perry H. Carson had that understanding which surpasses let- ters. Oarson, he said, was true to the col- ored men during the war and has been true to them ever since. . “In what year?” asked the foilowar of Bailey and Bacchus, who intended to break up that meeting or know the reason why. He Was:Hustled Out. This was carrying things-too far, and the two sergeants-at-arms, stalwart meh of muscle, didn’t do a thing to him but hustle him out and drop him down a long flight of stairs to the avenue so quickly that he was dodging a cable car before he knew “where he was at.” During the evening.one other bibulous gentleman, who believed that in a mass- meeting everyone should be heard, himself especially, was escorted to the door and dropped into the outer darkness, Other- wise the meeting was unanimous for Car- son and more than’ @ majority for Parker. L. H. Peterson félfowed in a character- istic address, in which he “turned over the bones of L. C. Bailey’s dead hopes of going to St. Louis as a delegate.” F. D. Lee and H. M. Clark also made ad- dresses, but by this time the enthusiasm of the crowd was beginning to flag, and along about 10 o'clock the chairman announced the meeting as closed, and the crowd left the hall to the tune of “John Brown's Body.” Out in Asbury Mission. Some fifty or sixty colored men favoring the selection of Carson and Parker as dele- gates to St. Louls met last evening in Asbury Mission Church, 9th street extend- ed, for the purpdése of advancing the inter- ests of those men. It was not then known that Mr. Parker had withdrawn. A. Randall was selected as chairman of the meeting, J. 8S. Hopkins as vice chairman, W. F. Locks as secretary and J. W. Gross as sergeant- at-arms. The services of the latter official were, however, at no time ‘required, the meeting being one of the most orderly held during the present campaign. After short addre:ses had been made by J. H. Scott, G. L. Munroe, S. L. Perry, E. Toes, Ed- ward Odom and J. W. Bell, the latter be- ing a candidate for alternate. honors on the Carson and Parker: ticket, resolutions pledging the support of those present to the ticket were adopted, and the meeting adjourned. . Mr. Scott said he was in favor of Car- son, because he was never known to go back on his own people, and because he is of a good, solid color, Mr. Munroe favored Carson, because, as’ he’ said, while, per- haps, he was ignorant and rude, he had enough good, hard,\horse sense to make him the friend of the ggeatest men of his party. As to his being sent too many times to the national conventions, the speaker said that Massachusetts never tired of Webster, Kentucky of; Clay or Ohio of Sherman. Mr. Perry told the meeting that Mr. Carson should be selected, because he represented the Siman-pnre negro, and had none of the nonsense of; the so-called four hundred. He spoke ef the services of Car- son in the interests of his people, and men- tioned his efforts to secure for laboring people the same wageg per day in the county that are givenin the city. The speaker advised his hearers to demand from the candidates,a promise beforehand that they would, if selected, secure such a remedy of the law."‘“Its all over,” said Mr. Perry, inconclusion. “Perry te a win- ner, an’ all of you who wants to git on board had better jump. Not, dat you is wanted, but jes to git on de Lord’s side in dis matter.” Mr. Bell, the candidate for alternate, spoke at some length, inquiring if the col- ored people of the District are going to be carried away by ambitious politicians, filthy lucre or bad whisky. The throng in- formed him that none of those delicacies would successfully tempt them, and then, reassured, Mr. Bell paid his respects to the delegates antagonistic to Carson and Par- ker. He referred to the -dherents of the former as the later growth of bis race, as cigarette-smoking dudes, who had not. the little sense they were born with. Mr. Toes and Mr. Odom followed in a like strain, and resolutions favoring Messrs. Carson and Parker were adopted, and the meeting adjourned, with great cheering for them. Other Meetings. Shelby M. Cullom Republican Club No. 2 was organized last night, with Thomas ‘W. Chase, president; George W. Stewart, secretary, and C. A. Lemar, treasurer. The club will shortly ofen headquarters for the purpose of entertaining colored del- egates from the southern states who may pass through this city on their way to St. Louis. At a meeting of the Allison League held Monday night a large number of new members were enrolled and an executive committee appointed, consisting of O. D. Morris, jr., A. A. Fickling, W. D. Winston, R. Maddern and W. L. Hart. The league will mect again at 938 M street northwest February 3. A Thomas B. Reed Club was organized by the republicans of the nineteenth dis- trict, who met at Delaware avenue and H street northeast. M. 'T. O’Brien was elected president; M. Walsh, vice presi- dent; G. W. Butler, secretary; P. Boland, treasurer, and J. Dunlap, sergeant-at-arms. Resolutions were passed indorsing Gleeson and Carson as delegates to St. Louis, with M. T. O'Brien as alternate to Gleeson. CHANGED HIS MIND. Parker Concludes to Withdraw From the Fight After All. Mr. Myron M. Parker changed his mind rapidly and radically yesterday regarding his candidacy for the honor of being a dele- gate to the national republican convention. He assured a reporter for The Star shortly before noon that he did not intend to with- draw as a candidate, but would not indulge in any scramble for the place. He further declared that he would be as well satisfied with one result of the election as he would with another. After this conversation, which was published in The Star yesterday evening, Mr. Parken, wag, visited by a num- ber of his friends,, whe declared that it would be out of the question for him to con- tinue as a participant jn a contest which was being carried ipon such lines. Mr. Parker consequentl; yielded to the advice of his friends, and Tate the evening for- mally announced His’ retirement from the race. Mr. Parker's withdrawal may bring about an understanding between Messrs. Carson and Gleeson, yy which the past differences existing’ “between them will be wiped away and a‘combination formed to carry both of themi oniito victory at the primaries on January 38. The supervisors are in session at 4 arker's office this afternoon, having met if) pursuance to the call of the chairm: 3 o'clock. At the former meeting a tesct tion was adopted providing that each;cafididate for delegate should be allowed td name one judge to rep- resent his interests at each election pre- Mr. cinct, and it was ordered that all these lists should be presented to the board of snper- visors on or before January 20. Messrs. - Rr EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23, 1896-TWELVE PAGES. Robert H. Key and Oscar Nauck were the only two of candidates who had com- plied with these requirements. A report is expécted at the meeting from the commit- tee to ascertain the expenses of the elec- tion, with a viw to estimating the share to be paid by each candidate. This com- mittee consists of Messrs. Milton M. Hol- Jand, C. J. Ortlip and L. C. Bailey. A Carson Conference. Col. Perry H. Carson held a conference teday at a hall on Pennsylvania avenue near 4% street northwest with a large num- ber of his lieutenants, who reported to him that the outlook-for his success as a candi- Gate for the St. Louis convention was ex- tremely bright. These leutenants were giving no concern to the fact that Mr. Par- ker, who was a candidate with Col. Perry for a seat in the convention, had with- drawn from the fight. The colonel, when asked by a Star reporter what effect the withdrawal will have, said that while he no fears as to the outcome on election day, he had not had time to think about getting any one to take Col. Parker's pl: on the ticket. eee ———__ ROAD TO BALTIMORE. Work Expected Soon on Electrie Line. Within a very few days work -will, it is expected, be begun on the construction of the power house, which is to supply the electricity for the propulsion of the cars of the Washington division of the new Columbia and Maryland electric railway. The building will be one story high, 120 by 250 feet, and will contain the best ma- chinery for the purpose that is available. The location will be on the northwest branch of the- Potomac river in Prince George's county. About the same time work will be begun on a building of like ¢imensions, which will contain the pl operating the Baltimore division, road. Each station will be equi; ‘with fcur 700 kilomatt generators, four 900 horse power engines, and ten boilers of 300 horse power, each arranged in batteries. A con- tract for the engines has been given to Messrs. McIntosh & Seymour of Auburn, N. Y., and for the boilers to the Campbell- Zell Company of Baltimore. The contracts provide that by May 1 sufficient machinery is to be ready for op- eration in each station to run the two sec- ticns of the line now under construction. The masonry and grading on these Portions eneraaeree CoO RISE CH and by March 1 ‘ails and ties are to be on the gr ready to put in place. se The Washington division extends from this city to Loreley, a distance of ten miles, and the Baltimore sgction runs from that city to Ellicott City, sixteen miles. It is hoped to be able to run cars on these sec- fions abcut June 1. The construction of the middle section, extending from Ellicott City to Loreley, thirteen miles, will be begun abcut April 1. Specifications have been secured for the company’s cars, which will resemble the ustal regular railroad day coach, with cross seats and center aisles, and will have a Seating capacity for forty-eight persons each. They will have light wheels and double trucks, and will be equipped with alr brakes und lavatories. Two cars will comprise a train.

They launched into a business which seemed already overcrowded, where the sharpest competi- tion had to be met, yet we are told that this company earned last year over a quar- ter of a million dollars, and that the rem- edies are used in every civilized country. |® This shows what merit, backed by cease- less energy and liberal advertising, can ac+ complish. Mr. Munyon says he attributes his suc- cess to two reasons. First, making sure that his remedies were just what he claimed for them; second, telling the peo- ple the truth about them by liberal news- paper advertising. “There have been times in the history of this company,” said Mr. Munyon, when prospects looked pretty black, but I sum- moned the great army of newspapers to my aid. I told the people about my rem- edies. I asked them to believe me. I kept everlastingly telling the truth, and today these remedies can be found in’ every town in America, and the demand is so great from foreign countries that I leave in a fow days to open branch establishments in London, Paris and Berlin.” ——— Robberies Reported.
