Hero la Ben's account of It: "The general public Is not aware that the negroes of Monroe street aru governed by a mayor and council of their own race. The present incum bent Is Allen Seareey, with his ono leg. which reminds us of the great Peter Htuyvesant. the one-legged governor of New York. "Tho influence wielded by Mayor Searcey Is astounding. The extent of thlH influence can be readily detected When It Is learned that in the election on the, night of tho 15th he won over hJs -opponent by a majority of 200 votes, which represents nine-tenths of the voting community of which he govprns. His opponent, J. M. Dur ham. for a long time presiding elder of tho hardshell Baptist Church, ond now a minister of tho same, Is in •strict opposition to anything wet, from wh/sky down to wntor. "The main plank In the platform of the present Incumbent Is the assurance that the people of%lonrnL street wll! be furnished with electric lights at tho corner of Monroe and Fifth avenue; to prohibit thieves from carrying away another COO-pound safe, on this main plank he won and has already succeed ed In getting water.
