triCt, suggesting the propricty OF speedy
completion Of the arrangements for their IS
sociatlons to participate In the reception to
be given General Grant on his return to this
Hon. A. G. Riddle was then introduced, and
was received with applause. He said that
important Issues are now before us-questions
that must be considered and disposed OF
We are to see IL party gets into power that
will endeayor to disregard the laws now In ex-
istence under the pretence that they are un-
constitutional. Now the question Is, whether
we are to pay our debt or not; and another
which, II anything, is whether the American
people are 1T to govern themselves or not
Now, l don't propose to occupy my time or
your attention TO any considerable discussion
Of these questions. But must say this cleo
I ton is one that involves the greatest Issues
of any election ever held on this continent.
We are not aparty but people. 1t 10 not
pleasant to use any hard cpithcts In speaking
OF the Democratic party, but will only refer
to their leaders, The good men In that party
are not wise, nor the wise men are not good.
l do not regard them IS party, nor do they
! regard themselves AS such. He thinks they
did not make q good nomination, nor would
! they have thought so had they nominated any
! one else. 1t did not make AIRY difference who
they nominated, nor what platform they were
on The people had made up their minds long
before who would be President, and IL was
unanimously conceded that Gen. Grant would
! be President OF the United States.
/ The speaker then referred to the nominations
! and administrations OF Pierce and buchanan
! As being utter failures in the history OF tho
, Republic. BuchnnRn's party eternally de-
/ stroyed the Government. for when he went
! out Of power there was no Government. The
Southern supporters Of this man went Into re.
beilion, and those at the North sympathized
with them.
The speaker spoke At length In an eloquent
and effective manner, and we only regret that
VIC have not space to give the speech In full

Grant, md others, the meeting adjourned.
