LINCOLN RATIFICATION MEETING IN GREEN.
FIELD Editors Sentinei:-We beg your pardon
for introducing in your valuable paper the name
of Gooding Our usually quiet village was
thrown into considerable excitement last evening
by loyal" ratification meeting. Ii was first
announced by the beating of drum in front of
the ex Congressman's domicil He appeared
upon the tapis, alias, goods box, and delivered
himself of Zine oratorical oration," some
called il. The listening auditory were princi-
pally composed of women and children. all seem
ingly interested To- know what the "bul of the
woods would say. He rather apologized, saying
such call was wholly unexpected, he had no
speech prepared, &c We concur with him in that
particular most superlatvely. We don't think
he had any "speech" prepared either. Ii being
the first time we had ever had an opportunity of
listening to the literary gentleman, we felt in
terested to know what he would say-especaly
in regard to the tickets which they have placed
in the field for the Presidency. Also. expecting
to hear good Grafton. His speech simply isn't
worth noticing. Such contradictory argument
such proiane and vulgar language we never be-
fore listened to, especially in the presence Of
ladies', or, ] should have said women, for don't
think any lady would have gone to hear him.
The modest. however, soon retired.
His argument, from Alpha TO Omega, was a
believing medley of contradictions. Once He
endorsing the Cleveland platform, next a
Democrat, and then an uncompromising, uncon-
sttutional Aboltionst He, however, elected
no applause, except occasionally from group of
boys who were gathered around bon FIRE in the
street. frequently hurrahing for Bull Gooding."
He finally concluded by impeaching the pat
riotism of former supporter, who has recently
deserted him, when the gentleman impeached
made his way through the crowd to the stand and
gave him such tongue-lashng as no one ex-
cept Gooding knows how TO take. Gooding
apologized. saying 'he intended insult. that
he was his friend, f" &c. | wouldn't be surprised
if he shed few tears. as he is in the habit OF
doing
We heard the Hon. gentleman remark this
morning "that he thought he would retire to pri-
vate life We think it good idea. That is
the most sensible conclusion he has ever come to.
