FLAG RAISING AT WEBSTER SQUARE.-The
supporters of Greeley and Brown threw a large
campaign flag TO the breeze at Webster square
last evening. The crowd in attendance was
very large, estimated at over thousand. Over
the speakers stand number of gas jets were
arranged in the form OF stars and hearts, and
served to illuminate the vicinity The Worcester
brass band was in attendance and furnished music
at intervals during the evening. AS the flag
swung out it was greeted with round of cheers
and music from the band
H. L. Parker, Esq, in calling the crowd to
order, said that after forming his opinion he
was ready at all times to maintain the principles
that he believed. AS the expOnents Of the prin
cples Of reconciliation, he honored the names
upon the banner. The first has been the ex-
ponent of the rights of the down-trodden of all
classes in past years, and if supporting him is
eating boiled crow, he was ready for more of it.
He honOred the military record and the ac-
knOwledged great debt which the people owed
to Gen. Grant, but was not willing TO accept it
as a claim TO the office of president. He did not
believe that the Office was created to honor any
man, but that the man was to honor the Office.
In conclusion he considered that in the election
of Greeley the people would have peace and
reconciliation
John r. Thayer, Esq, was the next speaker.
He considered the meeting as being more aus
picious than their political opponents were will
ing to admit. He referred to Greeley as stand
ing al the head o. one faction and Grant at the
head Of the other, and would not acknowledge
that there were two distinct parties He claimed
that Greeley was us much republican as ever,
and that he was accepted by the faction which
he represented. He gave an account of Gree
ley's success in business, starting from his
home poor printer boy and rising to be the
proprietor of the most influential paper in the
country. He considered Horace Greeley one of
the best republicans in the country at all times
and in all places. In closing he prophesied that if
the voters did their duty Greeley and Brown
would be elected.
David Manning, Jr., was next introduced, and
referred to the cheering of a crowd of Grant
men in the rear as a side show. He denied the
claims of Grants supporters as being more loyal
to the country than the supporters of Greeley.
He referred to the liberal movement as means
for bringing about the desired reconciliation be-
tween all classes in the country. He considered
Grant as man totally unfit to fill the position
which he occupies, and as having no claims TO
a second term in the presidential chair.
John J. O'Gorman considered the question of
tine present campaign as, whether the north
shall continue to rule, or whether the south
shall have a voice in national affairs He was
in favor of state rights SO long rs they did not
conflict with the rights of ithe whole govern
ment, but no further. lie considered that in
the election of Greeley the north and south
would have an equal chance.
