GRANT Avows HIS PRINCIPLES. The
Radical candidate for President, during his
trip to the West, gave vent to the following
opinion:
'Thc Democrats are making great fuss
over negro suffrage. AS for me, | think
that our colored fellow citizens have Just a.
good right to vote as the foreigners have. VI
How do you like that, IIishmcn and Ger
mans, who followed Grant to his butcher
fields in the South? DO you believe that
negroes have just as good right to vote as
you have? If so, vote for Grant. But il
not, put your shoulders to the wheel ant
help the Democracy to restore this govern
ment to its former condition of white su
premacy and grandeur.

TIE New York NOMINEES. The Dem
ocrats Of New York have nominated for
Governor John T. Hoffman, the present
Mayor of the city, and for Lieutenant Gov.
ernor Allen G. Beech, of Jefferson county.
Mr.. Hoffman is one Of the soundcst and
most cultivated gentleman of his party in
the Empire State, and is personally, ex.
tremely popular, and it is fair to say that a
more worthy or gallant standard bearer
could not have been selected. Mr.. Beech

lie resides at watcrtown, where he is sue.
ccssiul law practitioner. He is n lifelong
Democrat, and in the northern part of the
State is esteemed as one of the pillars Of
his party. The New York State ticket thus
far is, without doubt, good one.

Republican Meeting.

The Republicans of this town held a
meeting on Market Square last Tuesday
evening. After getting out the Band and
rarading it about town for an hour, quite a
number Of people came together at the dcs-
ignated spot for the meeting. The MAORI
ty Of the audience, we should think, was
Democrats, who went to the meeting out of
curiosity, to hear what the defenders and
supporters of the Radical party had TO say.
The disappointment can be better imagined
than described, when it was announced that
the speakers who were expected lind not
arrived, but that the meeting should not be
postponed, as it was the intention to make
use of "home material" Joshua Mcndcn-
hall, Of Franklin, was called to the chair,
and a lot of the Oldest Radicals in town
selected as Vice Presidents. The organi-
zation being effected, Capt Whitmoyer, the
Pine township boy, came forward and made
one of his not very enthusiastic speeches.
We do not know how long he talked by the
watch, but the time seemed terribly long to
us, and after he made his exit we failed to
discover that he had proved or settled any
thing. The Captain laborcd hard and
earnestly, but all to no purpose Enthusi-
asm could not be produced 1t was not il

NJ. NJ. LVellc, Esd, Of Ashland who
was here attending court, was next intro,
duccd to the audience, and delivered a
spread eagle speech, making, no doubt, the
best he could out of. bad cause. lie
spoke Of our financial condition, expenses,
receipts, and appropriations; but his whole
. talk on these points was good deal mud
died. His illusions to reconstruction were
rather vague, and made no impression. II
we should say that his culogy on Gen. Grant
aras not what it was intended and
propcr-wc would be pcrverting the
truth. AS a soldier VIC have not one word
at this time to say against Gen. Grant. Lie
is running for civil not military Office, and
it is his qualifications for the Office of a
civilian that VIC will discuss in this campaign.
The talk of speakers about the Generals
good fighting qualities has nothing to dc
with his holding the office Of President
provided he can get it.) To say the lea t
Of Mr.. L'Vellc's speech, it was well rccciv.
cd by men of his political persuasion.
Col. Samuel Knorr was called out. lie
stepped forward to the foot lights, made q
few remarks, excused himself on account Of
the latencss, and retired. A few cheers were
sent up, the older members of the Radical
party getting in their "Amen," and the
fizzlc adjourned.

the blackest and bo0diest rebellion
the world ever witnessed, to destroy
