The Republican meeting at the Ma
tional Hall. last evening, was not as
well attended as we anticipated. Col.
Ovens lecture at the Opera House,
kept many away, aud the night being
unfavorable, Lamasco was not as well
represented as usual. The Hall was
about two thirds full, but tho Repub-
licans present were enthusiastic, and
greeted the remarks Of the speakers
with cheers.
On motion, Capt. Clay Gooding
was called to the chair and made a
short address. He said that our city
election, in addition to the usual
issues, was unusual this year. in that
for the first time in the history of the
State the colored men would exer-
else the right of suffrage. This was
a bitter pill to the Democracy, and
was so distasteful to some Of that par
ty, that they threatened not to
vote at all. He thought they might
as we'll carry out their threat, for
their vote would amount to nothing
in the end. He briefly alluded 10 the
improved condition Of city affairs
under the management Of q Repub-
lican Council. Said taxes were lower,
city orders were increased in value,
and the financial condition of the city
generally greatly improved. He also
spoke of the ease with which Demo
Gratis could be distinguished from Re-
public&ns on the street, when the
ratification Of the Amendment was
promulgated.
