SPEECH or THE HON. HENRY j. RAYMOND.
The Hon. Henry j. RAYMOND was then intro
duced. He said:
promised myself, fellow-citizens, this evening,
much more pleasant entertainment than listening tC
NY own voice. / came here 10 hear some Of thost
many distinguished and able gentlemen, wnost
voices ought never TO be silent such an occasion
As this, and WHO, you had reason TO believe, would
speak to you the issues presented for your action
on Tuesday next, in a much more forcible and I'M
pressiye manner than L can TO. L never, how
ever, refuse 10 stop gap whenever IL Is thought
necessary by those in charge OF affairs that should
do So and am glad TO have an opportunity to say
at least one word in further aid OF your efforts tC
give this city some other Mayor than him who has
occupied the MayOralty as he himself con
fesses, with the universal assent OF the whole
people, already too long. Laughter think Il
| ia about time TO determine whether, IN thfa
great city, numbering nearly a million OF people,
| there is not somebody else beside Fernando Wood
qualified and fit TO be its Mayor. He himself, am
! aware, thinks that one else can be Mayor with
safety to the city, to the State, or to the world,
! 10 the solar system. Applause and laughter. And
vet upon this point as upon many others, the citi
zens of this city might differ in opinion from him;
indeed, believe the statistics will show that never
in single instance has majority agreed with him
in thinking that he was the man most ft to be
Mayor Of the City of New-York; and yet foI
three terms he has succeeded in placing himself il
that high position. And now he comes forward witt
the claim again that he be made Mayor. Now
think it is time we elect somebody else. Not
indeed from reasons furnished by his private cbarac
ter / have here nothing to do with that. l fine
in one single feature of Mayor Woods public act:
and declarations, sufficient reasons TO convince mt
that It is not best for thscity TO make him again it,
Mayor. That il this: he seems to have an idea Of
this city not ut Ill compatible with ito true relations
