AT meeting at the Cooper Insti-

ed to make speeches, but the audience re.
fused to listen to them until General Grant
had been presented. When he appeared
upon the stand the greatest enthusiasm was
manifested. Speeches were made bv
Moses II. Grinnell, Daniel s. Dickinson,
and by Generals Blair and Logan.
Gen. Blair spoke of the object for which
the meeting was called: to endorse Presi-
dent JOhnson's administration, and assured
the audience Of his hearty approval of his
proclamatiOns, and said he had not met any
man who had made any opposition to his
present course.
General Logan said tho rebellion was
ended and slavery forever dead, and the
power of the government was felt and un-
derstood both at home snd abroad. Onthe
reconstruetion question, he said he did not
agree with those who thought the rebel
States should be considered territories. The
suppression of the rebellion did not obliter-
ate States. He wanted to see JEFF. Davis
and the leaders of the rebellion tried for
treason and punished as traitors. The
question of the right Of suffrage should be
decided by the States wherever loyal gov
ernments were re-estsblished. He said he
thought indemnity should be demanded
from England for the destruction by the
Alabama and other pirates, and collected
by force if necessary. He believed in the
enforcement of the Monroe doctrine, but
was opposed to all fllibastering or emigrs-
ton schemes. .rss
