Show where sit the deacons just before the collection starts, rose the lone, solitary voice ot W. W. Taylor, Taylor did not pee the use of endorsing the ticket By the way Taylor is the editor of the Plain Dealer, one negro paper, while Rev. Washington is the editor of the other. Perhaps the former looked upon the matter as a scheme to boom the circulation of his rival's sheet. But at any rate he did not see any use in endorsing the ticket, because the McKinley Hub had already taken action in that respect. But Taylor didntget any moral support, so the resolution went through. Then W. W; caused trouble by suggesting that there were rumors afloat to the effect that the. coloied opula-tiwas doing some boodling. borne one in the audience declared that Taylor was the chief boodler of the hunch and that caused a commotion. When the hubbub subsided Taylor said the trouble with the negro voters was that there Were too many trying to do the otjher fellow. This bit of sarcasm had its effect and for several minutes silence reigned supreme while a joen or two looked us virtuous as possible under the circumstances. Taylor went tin to say that in the past he had followed the rule "Do unto others as yqp wou.d that others should' do unto you, but that he bad called it off. In the future" he' would follow David Harums advice.; "Do unto the other fellow as he would do unto you, and do it fust. . Taylor having sat down, Parson Washington spoke for several minutes upon the wickedness of any one trying to get ahead of the other fellow. If they would all pull together and stop these two or three leader who forever Wanted pay every time they turned around, it would mot be long before the negroes here could get soniolhing. He threw a brick at one or two of his audience by stating that it would be a good thing if some of them left the party. It was noticed that one or two who have been quite prominent among the negroes for some time grew restless during this address, for really it did look as if thejj preacher was declaring, that the besttning to do was to let go all holds and follow him. Then H. H. Voss told what he had done for the negro since 1891 and spent some little time endeavoring to find out who had any boodle. The guilty party carefully concealed it, if he had it with him and Voss had to sit down unsatis fied. But every one looked hard at his neighbor and it was plain to be seen that suspicion had an abiding place in the hearts of the audience, assembly or congregation, whatever name it is entitled to be called. After the meeting Rev. Washington retired to his sanctum sanctorum and thanked this paper for a notice which it gave his venture in newspaper work, in which it was stated, inadvertently to be sure, that he, the Rev. Washington was not going to bluster into politics, with as much grace as if he hadnt been to a political meeting in steen hundred years. Since the meeting several negroes declare they are going to pursue the even tenor of their several ways just the same as if the meeting had not been held and assert that they .know more about politics in Utah than the Rev.
