He concluded amid hearty applause from the

Judge Kelley then introduced Senator a. G. Cat-
tel, OF New jersey, who said:
Never, in his opinion, slu ce the formation of the
government, had the voting bccome so i'm oortant
as at the coming elections IN the north. He had
heard some say that he election in this State was

The great question is, shall those States lately in
rebellion come back loyal rebel side MP, and
shall the tatives in Congress be sustained
! IN the policy which they have adopted, or shall

He urged upon his audience that it was a solemn
\ duty TO ignore side issues and support the candi-
dates Of the Republican party for the moral effect
( which a victory would bring Congress asks
! for an expression OF confidence in them, and
an expression in opposition TO the reconstruction
scheme of Andrew Johnson. They asked this as

or more untiring devotion TO his client than Mr..
Thayer. He then alluded to the Democratic can
didate for City Treasurer, Mr.. Joseph N. Piersol,
who had written to the New England Senators
