Gallipolis journal. [volume] (Gallipolis, Ohio) 1837-1919, 1865-08-31

/ will now state the object Of our
meeting tonight. 1t is simply this:
Since the return of the soldiers from
this abolition war. we find to our
great satisfaction that several OF them
are very anxious to become members
of our party. These two gentlemen
on my right, are of that class. You
are aware gentlemen that the course
pursued by macy of them for years
past toward US, on account OF our
peace princiI les, led us to believe
that after the war, some of US might
be called to account by them for our
language and conduct.
Dish-.I was, pretty id roughly,
right here in Gallipolis Oh last
Snrz & Switz Order, order.
Bish-This result am pleased to
find from those soldiers with whom L
have conversed-
Dish-Who are they, officers or pri-
Yates?
Bish- Well believe they are
mostly officers, in fact think all. |
am not much in the habit of associ-
ating with private soldiers,sand in
deed / don't remember of any private
that said any thing in our favor.
Dish--Had'nt these officers been
mostly Democrats before the war.
Bish--Yes believe they were.
Dish Well then there just back
where they started. Did any ofthem
go in as priVates?
Bish--No don't think they did.
Dish Then they made more mon
ey in the service, than they could out.
Bish- Precisely so
Dish--Thats enough.
Bish-As stated these soldiers
think that military ticket composed
wholly of military officers, should be
selected in some way, not to excite
much attention, which could be sup
ported by the Democracy of Gall 8
county this fall 1t is presumed that
the conservative military men would
fall in with the measure, and that 6
sufficient number of votes could be
obtained to defeat at least a portion
of the abolition ticket DOW before the
people.
Bung- l say mister are they to bt
Denocrats on that ticket, of oul
kinds
Bish--Well that Will depend great
Iy, on the turn things may take a
/ the time of nominal =. OF course
we will endeavor to h"ve it wholly
