Pelham took from the pen a large roll he joined the silent majority th: peo- ple of two continents sincerely mourn ed bis death and mingled their tears of sorrow with those of his grief-strick en family. No man either of ancient or modern times, the speaker continued, has been shown & reater reverence. The distinguishing characteristic ef Mr. Douglass was thoreughness. With an attractive and charming personality and exceptional vocabulary, he was well equipped for diplomatic servi and his labors inthe field of diplom acy were of the highest order, and were creditable alike to himself and | the government, and a seurce of satis faction to the American people. Doug lass endeavored to be as near perfect as possible in everything he undertook said Gov. Pinchback, and all who have ever had the pleesure of listening to his matchless oratory can recall the care with which he selected and utter ed his words. In conclusion he said : bee | do not deem it amiss to call your attentien to the action ef the caucus of the Republican members of Congress last Monday evening. Fifty-six out of ninety one present voted in favor of revision of Southern representation. Thatis a sign of encouragement. I re gard this question as a vital one to the race. Its settlement involves the equality of the voters in the different States. Itis to determine whether in the future one white man in the South is to be equal to five or ten men in the North, East and West, in electing Congressmen and Presidential electors. | Northern voters are becoming restive j under the brand of inferiority this in | equality in representation places upon them.

The first one be- ing directed at him and reading: *‘In what way do these emblems resemble vou? Answer: They are both record- ers ef deeds.” The next one was ad- dressed to T. Thomas Fortune: ‘“‘In what way does the Fditor of the Age remind us of Douglass?’”’ Mr Pelham answered as he pulleu frem the pena miniture representation of the club’s valentine, the large heart, ‘Because! his heart is in his pen.”’ These bons mots at once put the gath- ering good humor and for fully half am hour the club and its guests were kept in roars of laughter and ap- plause at the steady fire ef apt conun- iting satire and keen witti- cisms that were hurled by Mr: Pelham as from a gattling gun, striking in turn nearly every person present. Each being a valentine within itself was cut from the large roll and after being read aloud was presented by ‘‘Cupid” to its victim together with a miniture | fact does the membership To C. F. Adams: The Appeal is made for youtoent«r the Field as a diplemat and welcome Prince Henry with a hearty “Hoch der Kaiser.” To Dr.jJ_R Francis: What surgi- cal operation does your Automobile suggest?
