RATIFIcATroN MEETING you
are called upon tonight to turn out and rat
ify the nomination Of Gen. George 3. Nc.
Clel.an, as candidate for the Presidency. 1t
is not that this nomination is not already
ratified in your minds, .or there is not
democrat in the country who does not most
hear tily endorse the action Of the Chicago
Convention, but this meeting is called that
you may publicly declare your hearty ap-
probation Of that act.
This is not the last ratification meeting
you will be called upon to attend. One day
in the month Of November next you will
have further opportunity to ratify. Let
Us do it now and then too Meet ct Le.
Claire Hall this evening, one and all, and
there pledge yourselves to exert your ut
most to make the next ratifi alton such an
one as will remove the present incompetent
Executive, and IN his seat place the man of
your choice.
TIE DRArr.-Great anxiety prevails in
those sub-districts that have not made up
their quotas. Men who are liable to be to
ken from home at any moment and are un
able to procure substitutes very naturally
feel nervous about it. It is one of the most
trying ordeals which q man can be called
upon 10 encounter. 1t has come to that
pass in these days that men no longer 60 to
war voluntarily out Of pure lo7e Of country.
They must either be paid large bounties
or else be compelled to 60 because they
have money to induce some ono else o
go. There may be exceptions to this rule
but they ore too scarce to attract attention.
That the ceremonies OF next Monday ard
days following will cause much affection
there is no doubt, but the laws Of the land
are stringent and must be obeyed. True
it is that the administration is to blame
for not having SO directed matters rs to
have restored peace and Union ere this. but
the only way to remedy the evil as far ss
the administration is concerned is At the
. ballot box at the coming p essdential cleo
ton. At that time let us elect President
competent to meet the great emrSency-
competent TO bring peace out Of d,scord
and Union Out Of dis Uhiou. That il the
legitimate way in which to get at the roots
