The Democratic Meeting.

We have not a great deal d
space to bestow on the Democratic
Meeting, held here on Monday; and
truly, it was not deserving of q
great deal.
After drumming up everybody,

Gratis, Republicans and Prohibition.
lists, that could be induced to at
tend, about two hundred and fifty
persons were assembled at the
Grove. James Moore, OF Malta, act.
ed as Chairman, and he announced
that the speakers advertised had
failed to be on hand, and tia. the
audience would have 20 listen Il
the EMISSIONS ofsome home talent
ard, therefore he introduced the
"IMMoRTAL J. NJ"
Gaylord, who is always ready to
act rs a substitute for all failing
Democratic speakers. 81. M
talked for about n half hour, during
which the audience was mannerly
enough to maintain the most re-
spectacle silence, and then finding
himself getting hoarse, he closed by
thanking the audience for their en-
thusIastic reception of tho truths O.
he enunciated.
The Chairman next introduced
Fred. W. Moore, the self-styled
PATRIOT AND STATESMAN"
who talked about three-quarters of
an hour. Mooro's speech was not
bad, on the other hand it was quite
entertaining, and had many good
points in it, the most noticeable
among which was the assertion that
he did not appear before them (tbe
audlenee) as q clap-trap politician,
'induTging in scurrility, but as q
patriot AND STATESMAN At
this juncture, we thought the audi
ence showed alarming signs of bad
breeding. Instead of bareing their
heads and placing themselves in
position to listen, on Bonded knees,
to the resurrected Webster that
stood before them, they tee heed,
and winked at each other, and
punched each other with their ell
bows, and done all sorts of rude
things.
At the conclusion of Moore's
speech, adjournment was made to
meet of the polls on the Gay of the
election, but after the dispensing of
the audience 1t was ascertaIned that
James r. Hubbell, of Delaware, this
had finally arrived, and, there
upon, posters were issued announ-
eng that that gentleman would ad.

bell, and he talked to them for a.
bout an hour ard a half, endeavor-
ing to show up the character of
Grant, as PresldenJ, in no envlable
light. He had nothing whatever
to say about State affairs, and one
would say to hear him talk we are
IN the eve Of q Presidential cleo
ton, not q State election.
After the evening meeting, which
at about nine o'clock, Hub
bell, accompanied by ~. NJ" and
other of his Democratic friends, ad-
iourned to his room IN the New Era
Here these worthless, who
IRE essayIng to be leaders of the
Democracy, indulged N one of the
most disgraceful DRINKS that ever
disturbed a respectable house and
he guests thereof. Kincaid, the
landlord, we are told, had to 90 to
he room and inform them that
'uch "carrylngs-on" were not allow
ID under his roof, and even after
his their obscene jests and bolster
Jus laughter were to be heard
throughout the entire house, 1t is
'aId that Hu6bell got very "sick"

LED the Democratic meeting.
