Lamb Perturbation Lock.
CHtcAoo, July 20, 1s6s-Tho only marked
event Of the last week was the Democratic
mass meeting in the Court House Square on
Wednesday evening, TO ratity the nominations
OF the New York Convention. There was
much preparation for it, and a torchlight
procession, With Banners, notices and music,
made quite a creditable show. But the
speeches were nearly finished when the pro-
ccssion arrived, so that the only reward he
faithful had fOrtheir demonstration was the
privilege Of being seen ui others. There
was a fair plumber in attendance, and the
speeches, a. a matter Of course, were parti-
ian and applauded by the Democrats. I was
sorry to hear so much of |denunciation, and
could not help Nishing That the time might
soon come when such meetings would be SUI
pbrsedod by joint discussions, when both
sides could be heard, and the merits Of the
respective platforms be fairly discussed be-
fore the same audience There would then
be less Of vituperation and personal abuhe,
and more OF candid abatement and argument
ON both sides. Now both parties misreprel
sent each other, and eNaggerate then pwn
virtues and then opponents talings. r..
