REPUBLICAN MEETING IN RIcHMoNr

REPUBLICAN MEETING IN RICHMOND
Speeches by Horace Greeley and GerriH Snstth. =
Horace Greeley and Gerrett Smith addressed
the people OF Richmond last night, The audi.
ence was about eq aally divided. Governor
Peirpont was on the stand. 4.E.a. .zl aa
Mr.. Greeley explained the obstacles that had
impeded reconstruction, beginning with the
assassination OF Abraham Lincoln and co ming
down to President Johnson's policy. The OBJ
stacle now was the unwiliin gness fthe South
ern people to give the negro any rights they
were not obliged to give. When this was
overcome there would be peace at the South.
The South had the opportunity presented to it
BY Congress to give these rights itself, but had
refused TO do it. Upon the subject of con hsca-
groes not to look forward to ace uirlng lands
in that way. He wished to see them own
farms but they lust work for them, ana they
need not expect to get them in any other way
Gerritt Smith followed in q short address.
He said the South vas not alone to blame for
the war. which had been brought on by the
North through Its support Of slavery, which
was its Immediate cause. 1t had supported
slavery because it had profited by 1t. 1t had
drawn the milk while the South had held tho
cow. He strongly opposed con fscation, and
told the negroes not to look forward to any,
thing that was so hopeless. In allusion to ru.
mors Of riots he had heard since he came here
he urged the negroes not to give way to law.
lessness and to avoid any approach to riotous
conduct. ' -
Judge Underwood, who was cheered and
hiss ed when he came forward. made q short
address. After hearing one or two more
speakers the meeting adjourned. ...

TIONS.
The Republican City Convention after q
spirited meeting last night, at which there
was a free and cordial interchange Of opinion
in regard to the conduct of the ensuing mu-
nicipal election and the candidates to be sup
ported, proceeded to ballot for nominees, the
respective claims of various gentlemen pro-
posed being urged with great zeal and ability
by their friends, and the result was a harmo-
nious conclusion in favor Of the three candi-
dates TO be supported for the m unicipal ot1ices
to be q lied at the June election.
Throughout the deliberate of the con ven.
tion last night there was but one opinion ex.
pressed, that in selecting candidates, ability,
integrity, and undoubted loyalty should be
first requisites, and the convention in it's ac-
tion has presented nominees abundantly meet.
ing all these requirements.
Mr.. A. G. Hall, the nominee for Collector. is
widely known in this community as gentle
man OF fine business qualifications, of un-
swerving integrity, and who has been identi.
fed with the Republican party Of the city
from its earliest organization. He is a native
OF the State OF Maine, coming to this city
when boy, where he has resided for the last
81 years. and during that time he has been
thoroughly identified with the interests Of the
city. For the last ten years he has occupied
the responsible position of cashier of the
Washington Gas Company, a situation he
has filled most unexceptionably. He was
valuable member of the City Councils In the
session of 1896, declining denomination
at the end of his term. No man in the com.
munIty is more generally esteemed and re-
spected, and this fact will be demonstrated at
the coming election by his receiving votes
quite outside of party bounds.
Mr. f A. Boswell, the candidate for Repister
known m
spoken and uneompromisng of loyalists dur.
ing the "tlnes that tried mems souls'' here AS
magistrate he has won universal respect by
the energy and impartiality with which he has
discharged the duties Of his once; and as a
man and as a citizen no one stands higher in
the confidence of the community The salts.
faction expressed by the warmest Republicans
IN the convention last night, over the nomina-
tion of MI. Boswell, shows the general gratifi.
cation that will be eviRced by the Union men
Of washington over this selection of one or
their tried standard bearers as the nominee for
this important position.
MI. G.. H. Bliss, the nominee for Surveyor
is not so widely known in this community as
are Messrs. Hall and Boswell, but his record
is SO clear and his qualifications shown TO be
so ample, that the nomination was accorded
to him With remarkable unanimity. He was
Ter many years engineer on leading Western
railroads, and occupied for some time the no.
sition of assistant surveyor in the citv of
Cincinnati, where he was charged with the
duty OF carry iRg out some OF the most i'm
Pertant improyem ents OF that beautiful CITY
DUTY ne discharged in manner to elicit
general commendation. For the last six wears
De mas resided In this city, filling depart
mental position most capably, and enioying
the esteem OF large circle Of acquaintances.
