A young colored Republican, while making an address at Forty-fourth street and Second avenue last night, came near being roughly handled by a number of men. There were some policemen watching those listening to the speaker at the time, and they quickly suppressed the disturbance by severely shaking two or three who were in a riotous mood. A person at the meeting said sticks, stones, garbage and eggs were thrown at the person on the cart and at people in the gathering, but the police of the Fifty-first st. station denied that any sticks or stones were hurled at anyone at the meeting. Several officers acknowledged that eggs had been thrown.

The story has nothing to do with the Bronx. That location is in Manhattan. Perhaps they’re two different stories.

There is no 44th St. in the Bronx, nor is there any 2nd Avenue.
44th & 2nd is in midtown Manhattan.

Crooked Hillary would be right at home with the democrat party 118 years ago.

Looks like the same street grid as today in the 1900 map of the Bronx.

Out of Kojak’s area, he and his gang were Manhattan South.

Yeah, people who keep on acting like the democrats acting like thugs is new surprise and sadden me.
It means they are not interested enough in their country to read it's history.

I used to call those - like Alex Jones - who said Civil War 2 was coming kook conspiracy theorists. Not anymore. In fact, IMO, we’re now at a point of that happening being almost unavoidable.

Wow, had to check the date due to the use the word “colored.” No kidding. I haven't heard or seen that term used since the sixties.

That’s why, a year ago, my wife and I got our CC permits and I carry in my car.I carry in my car, I carry at the bar, Church, everywhere I go, I carry.
Sometimes I have two pieces, not often but if I'm going into or near dangerous territory, I will have two pieces.

Most of my life is lived in my small town where I’m pretty safe. But I work in Louisville...I carry in my commuter car.
