The MEETING IN THE CRY LAST NIan

IHE MEETING IN THE CITY LAST MIGHT
One of the largest and most enthusiast
meetings of the campaign was held at Fit1
geralds corner last night. The people,
the Eighth and Ninth Wards turned out
mGsse, and evinced by their plaudits an
cheers their determination to do goo
days work for the Country and Dem0cra
cy next Tuesday. Mr.. Edwards first az
dressed the assembly. He reviewed ill.,
usurpation and outrages of the Admins
tration; recited the wrong inflicted on Dr.
Buckley, who was immursed in The Pcniten1
tiary; excoriated the members of the com
mittee, who reported in his case no causr
for inquiry; referred to his own minority
report; and warned the people against thg
designs of the party in power. Mr.. Ed
wards discussed the question of taxation o;
bonds; showed the injustice Of exempting
them, and closed by exhorting the people
to stand by the Democratic party. Mr..
E. was most enthusiastically applauded
throughout his very able and effective re-
marks.
Mr.. Eshelman being unable to be present,
Z. Il. DeLany filled his place. Mr.. DeLany
said that every man wished to vote so as
best to promote his own interests and the
interests of the country. The scarecrow of
treason applied to the Democratic party
was getting stale; it no longer affrighted
but amused. No sensible Republican de-
scends to such demagogueism. Noone, ex-
cept such things as Sam. Galloway, uses it.

That corpse stuck up for show.

mistook his profession. His legitimate av-
ocation is proprietor of hand-organ. He
might dispense with the monkey. His
power for facial contortions would answer
the purpose infinitely better, and his habit
of chattering would demonstrate the fact
that the nearer he approached to The monkey,
the more he Identified The man. -al a. b..
Mr.. DeLany reviewed the policy of the
Republican party, and showed that it had
no claims on the su1'rages of white men. 1t
did not aim at the interests of the country,
but at the perpetuation Of its own power
by Negro Suffrage. Mr.. d. remarked all
due allowance must be made for taste and
prejudice. Republicans might sing ppans
to the negro; praise the texture of his wool,
and allude in classic figures to the lips of a
Diana on which a lover might hang en-
raptured! They had right to be enamor-
ed of the negro if they wished. But the
white masses of Ohio will scarcely coincide
in that opinion or vote for the men who en-
tertain or advocate it.
Mr.. DeLany exposed the corruptions of
the Administration referred to the issues in
the coming election, and closed by exhort-
ing his hearers to stand by the Democratic
party as the only hope for the country, and
as the only protection of the interests of
the great mass of the people. The speaker
was frequently greeted with uproarious
applause. . ..

this article, one of his effective speeches.
The large, attentive and enthusiastic meet
ing last night speaks gloriously for the
Eighth and Ninth Wards. Our fellow
Democrats may rely upon it that they will
give good account of themselves on cleo
tion day.
