Republican Meeting in Phil.
adelphia,

Philadelphia, Pa, 20. A meeting of the
republicans of this city was held to-day.
Col. Mcclure chairman, said that the meet
ing convened for the purpose of making ar
rangements to attend the Cincinnati conven.
ton.
Gen. w. B. Thomas wanted to know If he
was in the right place. He was going to
Cincinnati but could not participate in the
movement if the call as published was bind
ing on those who go. Those engaged in the
work were looking to humiliation Of the re-
candidate nominated by the Phladelp hia
convention-Grant. or any other man. When
in Cincinnati he proposed doing all he could
to kill the republican party. He and other
gentlemen had organized State central
committee and cali had been issued for the
election of delegates to- day to the Cincinnati
convention.
Mr.. McClure--Will these delegates be
chosen as republicans?
Gen. Thomas-Yes.
Mr.. Worrell-Will they vote for republic
cans?
Gen. Thomas-Our object 10 to defeat
President Grant and any republican nomi-
nee.
Col Mcclure said that only man of low
atty and one faithful to the country should
receive the nomination for the Presidency.
This movement was in the lines of the repub-
lican party. 1t was a movement by the re-
publicans who DO not mean to be bound by
I the government party as it now stands. 1t IL
really break from the management of the
arty.
Gen. Thomas said that he had labored tc
build up the republican party, but now he
was free to say it was the most corrupt party
Oil the face of the earth.
Mr.. Sypher said that the delegates woult
go unpledged to Cincinnati. What is bes
to be done under the circumstances will b.
considered.
Mr.. Mcclure said that the english of the
whole thing was the rebellion, and the bring
ing of it to the dignity of a revolution. Five
years ago there might have been necessity
for the exercise of military power in the
South, but now there was not. The speaker
differed from Grant in principle. The dan.
gerous thing that the free institutions of the
country bad to meet was the policy of Grant
to carry elections by force of bayonets.
A committee of Is was appointed to have
general charge of the above movement and
the meeting adjourned.

Still the temperance tide is rising. Granite
Hall was again packed on Saturday evening
with as happy and interested an audience a.
we ever saw together in this city. The pledge
book was thrown open to the ladies, and men
aud women WED with each other in the glad
some duty and privilege Of enrolling their
names in the temperance army of the Kenne-
bee valley, and that is to have its battalions
and regiments all over the State. The prin-
cipal speaker of the evening was the Rev.
Geo. H. Vibbert of East Boston, who has for
many years been identified with the temper
ance cause as enc of its most eloquent and
fearless champions. He argued with great
clearness the loss financially to the individual
and to society, by the practice OF drinking
that it was question which capitalists would
be deeply interested in when they understood
the financial ruin intemperance entails. From
this he proceeded to higher ground and con-
sidered the moral and spiritual blight that
drunkenness brings; and here the lecture
glittered with sharp points and keen logic.
In closing he urged the drunkard to leave his
cups and assert his manhood, the moderate
drinker to stop drinking, and all temperance
men to give their best efforts for the rescue
of the poor inebriate from his terrible condi-
ton. The speech was one of the very best
yet listened to by the club. DR.. Brickett and
Curtis Higgins gave an account of the fcrma-
ton of club at Damariscotta; aud Mr.. Nye
and the Rev. Mr.. Martin told of the enthu-
siasm with which they were received at Bruins
wick and Auburn in the organization Of clubs
in those places. The meeting was further
addressed by Messrs. Baker, Stevens, Pills
barry and others. At the close of the meeting
more than one thousand names were on the
pledge book. Yesterday afternoon Rev. Mr..
Vibbert addressed another large and intelli-
gent audience at Granite Hall, on the subject
of temperance.

We learn that the authorities of our sister
city Of Hallowell are contemplating making
repairs on their City Hall the present season !;
and correspondent suggests that now 10
favorable time for remodelling and extend
ing the building so a. to make it more
spacious and convenient for the various pub
lie purposes requiring accommodations by the
city. The hall and city rooms are not what
they should be, and may easily be arranged
to meet the demands Of the times. A. the
building requires shingling it would seem
that now 10 the time to make the much needed
improvements about the premises generally.
The city owns land adjoining the Hall, and
with comparatively slight expenditure the
building might be rendered an ornament to
the city, as well as q source of income by
raising the roof and extending the building to
the east (by wood or otherwise), spacious
accommodations for hall, city rooms, police
court room, hearse house, lookup, &C.,
might be secured, furnishing all the accom-
modations that would be required for the
present generation. The subject is worthy
Of consideration at the present time.
