O'Clock last evening. at nalf-past seven O'Clock
large and enthusiastic meeting was held In front OF
the Montgomery House. The Governor spoke nearly
two hours upon the issues Of the day. He was fol-

This morning your correspondent took occasion
to converse with Governor Geary in view of obtain
ing an expression Of his views The Governor takes
the position maintained by every republican upon
the points oil political difference between themselves
and their democratic opponents
In response 10 al interIoSatory in regard to the
Avondale catastrophe, the Governor said:-"Upon
the reassen bling OF the Legislature ! Will insist
upon Immediate action looking to the prolecuoh OF
the workmen in mines. Having enacted suitap'e
laws on that impors mt subject WIN see that tley

straw sent down TO the animals me uTait soon

tuDaie sufferers within" on the eight hour ques.
ton the Governor said that he was IN lavor OF
raking eight hours lawful day. and that the best
means OF renefiting the worAmen was to pay them
difficulty In California over this question Of
capital a;d labor. He devised pian making eight
hours lawful day. and for time over thar the aborer

ferences, and he never had ans more trouble with

WORKING class a chance for Improvement by giving
laDgr greater intelligence.
on the fifteenth amendment he said:--That ques-
tian has been settled ia Pennsy lvania. The demo-
crets TAX OF repeating the resolution OF ratitica-
ticn. lie did not know upon what authority or
mecedent. The question having been adopted, as
FAR as pennsylvania concerned, he could not
see where the power or the right to repeal was 10
come from. Future legisa lures have nothing to do
with the matter and there was no way in which 1t
could properly come before them. lie considered
that the fifteenth amendment was part Of the consti

subject.
on the tariff he sad:-pennsy lvanias interest Is

free trade ring OF New York. | an IN favor OF

only TO pennsylvania, but TO large portion OF the
country.
ing The Governor was equally as decided. He was
In lavor OF economy, cooperation with tue govern
ment IN the enforcement oil the revenue laws and
the payment OF the national debt as soon as posi-
Bile. HIS views applied as well to the State nnances.
He had succeeded in strengthening out the finances
OF Pennsylvania and reducing the amount several
millions. II 1t was the wish OF the people

Is in my mind set purpose OF the democratic party;
they hint at u In Their platform. 10 say that the
bonds OF the United States must be paid IN green
backs is a heresy which viii lead 10 nothing else
than reputation. 1t is very clear that the contract
OF the government with the people was the payment
OF those bonds IN gold as having steady value, and
they should be so paid. think also the government
has perfect right to call in its present bonds. The
law says they must be taken up not earlier than five
years nor later than twenty. Now, the government
