MOUND CITY.
GREELEY AND BROWN RATIFICATION
MEETING.
POLE RAISING, BONFIRE, SPEECHES
ETC.

The Democratic. Republican people OF
Mound City--a lively body Of enthusiastic
men-ratiied the second nomination OF
Greeley, on Saturday night las. by rous-
ing impromptu meeting. In the after
noon they raised a splendid Greeley pole,
and threw to the breeze splendid Gree
ley Aag-polc and flag, both, having been
procured and paid for by Frank Fair, who
has been one Of the leading Republicans
of our sister city.
At night, q meeting was organized at
the depot by calling Mr.. Fair to the chair
In response then to loud calls Judge W..
j. Allen, Of this city, addressed the large
crowd IN one Of mis- most telling speeches.
He surpassed himself, and proved TO the
satisfaction Of his friends that the Greeley
harness fits his political back to 7.
The Judges argument was frequently in
terrupted by applause.
After Judge Allen came Mr.. j. II.
Oberly, of The BULLETIN, the particular
and the only distinguishing merit Of
whose speech was its brevlty.
Then Col. Lowe went into matters in
bis peculiarly unique and forcible manner
and tore the Grant party in II ferocious
manner. The Colonel has, indeed, been
baptised into the Liberal church, and Of
all its members is the mos, enthusiastic
He strikes from the shoulder, and strikes
heavy blows.
Capt. Hamb.eton next appeared upon
the platform (of the carr, and for u few
moments entertained his hearers with one
Of his plain, frcible earnest and con-
vineing talks" The Captain is no ora
tor as Brutus is, but his talks arc very
effective, and do far more good than the
ranting utterances precular to the stump.
II Captain Hambleton should consent to
become the Democratic and Liberal can.
didate for senator 10 his district, and will
canvass for the position, We have no
doubt lie can be elected by good majority.
All the Democrats and Liberals, and all
the "fair ,oting RAIDS, (ss DR.. Casey
would put it, OF the district would feel
constrained by sense Of duty and by the
promptings of good fellowship to vote
for him.
DIR. Casey followed with the important
assertion that Mound City, in the matter
of pole raising, was ahead Of any city on
the river, and would stay ahead until after
election. We shall carry Mound City
for the honest old man Of the little old
hat, said the Doctor, "snd, fellow
citizen '-(rising on bis tiptoes, with
flashing eye, extended RICH, arm and
laundering voice." as goes Mound City
SO goes the United States |"
Of course this ended the Doctors few
remarks, and Col. Watkins responded
to a call that wouldn't have " No for an
answer. He agreed with Caseys remark
about the Importance of carrying Mound
City SO that the Onion nigh, be secured
to Greeley, and predicted success. I'VE
cant be defeated he sad we have put
up a pole to-day that the Radicals can,
climb, and every attempt they make will
expose their folly"
Then Fair in brief, and with cheers
the meeting adjourned.
