Calls being made for P. II. Hanlon,
he came forward and addressed the
meeting in an eloquent and pleasing
manner, holding up to view the aristo-
cratic bond holders, who say greenbacks
are good enough for the poor white
trash, but not good enough for US, the
aristocratic bond holders. They, the
bo d holders, say our bonds must be
paid in gold lift takes the last dollar
out of the poor mans pocket to do it.
They say, we will have our interest
drawing bonds, both principal and in
terest paid in gold, but, they say, green
backs are good enough for widows
and orphans, and for the soldiers
who fought and bled for the Constitu-
tion. Good enough for white trash-so
say the bondholders. Mr.. Hanlon up
pealed to all in favor of taxing the gov
ernment bonds, and in favor Of paying
off said bonds with greenbacks, and in
favor of reducing our State and county
taxes, and in favor of dispensing with
one half of the county and township
officers, who are now fed frem the pub
lie crib, and causing such enormous
high taxes, to unite with the Democrat
and Conservative party and save the
country from ruin and bankruptcy.
On mo tion, the Secretary was request
