FELLOW CITIzENs:-I shall not pre-
sumo, in the presence of such speakers
as will addtess you this evening, to de-
tain this audience by any remarks OF
my own, but have few words to
speak ON behalf of the Republican
party which dedicates this hall tonight,
and also on behalf one man, to whose
munificent liberality we are indebted to
it's erection. [ refer to Hon. Amos
Clark, Jr., our candidate for Congress
in the Third Congressional District. In
this instance the office sought the man,
not the man the office; and we believe
that when the election is made the office
viii have found the man, and the man
the office. We meet tonight to dedi-
cate this Tannery to the great cause of
the Republican party, the establishment
of ga government for the people, by
the people, and of the people," and
'sthat such a government may never
perish from off the face Of the earth. "
We dedicate it to the great principles
underlying every doctrine of the Re-
publican party; the perfect equality of
anmen before the law. We dedicate it
to the truth, and may every word utter
ed within these walls be truth and right
eousness altogether. We consecrate it
to the memory of our fallen heroes,
