REPUBLICAN MEETING-Goy. ANDERSON
AND Ex-Gov. ToD.-It is not our intention
to give an extended notice of the speeches
made last night at the Republican meeting,
at the West portico of the CopitOl. The
Republicans, taking advantage of the i'm
mense throng who visited our city to see
the hero whose well planned campaigns
brought our late unhappy war TO a. close,
had called q meeting to discuss the great
questions which agitate the country. -,
They hired the Band OF the United States
Regulars at Camp Thomas, and of course
their music brought together consider
able crowd. E 80 u. a
After the band of music had marched to
the west front of the Capitol, and order was
restored, Governor Anderson appeared, and
remarked that it was his agreeable duty not
to speak-but to introduce speaker but
forgetting his remark, he wished to say a
questions in volyed in the election which
is now approaching. He then went off on
| a hyfalutin strain. charging the Democrat
ic party with all the ruin, devastation and
bloodshed that has befallen the country
the Democratic resolutions of '9S and 1913
had wrought the ruin, and he charged the
Democratic party with the whole of it,
He remarked that Thomas Jefferson was the
author of the resolutions of 80 and probably
of '9S, and that they were on the same par
with those of South Carolina In 1S60-6l-
and charged, as all Republicans do, that
| Vallandigham believed and advocated the
same thingl r.- .....l ..,.....l
| He alluded to split in the Democratic
party, in which he claimed that Mr.. Cory,
the leader of the Popular Sov's, was al
honest man-that he believed, and always
maintained the Calhoun doctrine-and he
wound up this exposition with charging
that Vallandigham was of the same school,
and stated that he "would to God thai
Jackson had hanged Calhoun" g
He then spoke of Negro Suffrage. He
went against it. He perhaps differed from
many of his friends in the Union party
but he believed they were not educated up
to the point Of voting. He then introduced
ex-Governor Tod.
The Governor thanked the citizens of Col
umbus, his old friends, where he and his
family had resided, for the compliment
they had paid him in turning out in such
vast numbers to hear what he had to say or
the great issues of the day. lie alluded tt
his utilization with the Union party, beins
a Democrat, and claimed that 1t was for the
welfare OF the Union that, he took tina
course. He stated that Gen. Morgan, thu
Democratic candidate for Governor, being
abroad, could not wait until he arrived
home, but telegraphed that he was ready Il
defend the Union-that he had received ,
commission. but in the space of one year
resigned and came home to support Vallan
digham.
| He wound up by givinga synopsis of 8
plan he had originated for the relief of tn
''stricken widow and our stricken sisters
as well as the wounded soldiers, in whicl
he made 1t appear that the sum of one mil
lion, two hundred thousand dollars wOul'
make them all happy and contented, ant
that it would not increase materially tn
taxes of the State.

speech, and regrst that our limited spac
