mass meeting Of the friends Of Me- Grallhe, the
independent candidate for Mayor at Odd Fellows
Hall last evening, was most heartily responded to.
There was plenty of fzz, but no fzzle, as to the
fireworks, which dimmed the stars and shocked
the sycamores on Lafayette square. Nethef was
there any failure as regards the number Of people
who attended, for Odd FeloWs' Hall was crowded
with respectable and respectful citizens, who saw
and listened attentively to all that was done and
said.
So far as regards the numbers and facial ap-
pearance Of the audience the meeting was any
thing hut failure; we may say that IN TINS re-
spect it was triumph. But in other respects 1t
was lamentable and most humiliating failure.
| Mr. William G.. C. Claiborne was President, and
| occupied the chair as such. OF the fifty or more
Vice Presidents called ont, not more than dozen
| appeared and took their seats on the stand.
| Mr., John Claiborne made the opening and clos
| ing speech. His talk was, the purity and incor-
ruptibility OF Mr.. Grahe; the regeneration of New
| Orleans in its police quiet and good order, which
4 would follow Mr.. Grailhe's election; and the
/ bIoodshed, ruin and general disgrace which had
hIackeped the mage of New Orleans history for the
last six years. Messrs. Place and Monroe were al
luded to. not only by name, but as the two candi-
dates who were identified with the reform party Y
wbose siy vears, rule had sunk New Orleans fax
below the scale of prosperity and respectabillty
among the cities of modern civilized nations. Mr..
Caiborne's speech was earnest, ingenious and elo-
quent, and was received with frequent bursts OF
hearty applause. sa@
We had but one fault to find with his speech. In
speaking of the riot, bloodshed, murder, misrule
and general anarchy which had sunk New Orleans
during the last five or six years. he forgot to tell
how his own real estate in this city had increased
in vaue Though he argued that New Orleans
was going to the devil under the rqle OF what ne
sarcastlcally cailed the REFORM party, he heNet
intimated once that he felt IKE seiilng out OF emf
grating. The earnestness ana nhe afeumen. o'
Mr.. Claibornes speech led the audience TO oeheVe
that something more ponderous, more eioqueu'
and more exciting might pc looked ior rom the
reserve speakers.
