Prior to the speaking Q band OF music ascended
the platform and played number OF popular airs,
during which the Cuban societies known as the
Laborantcs, Marshal Francisco p. Mendoza, and
the Union Ar tisanO Marshal Louis xiqurs-the two
under the leadership Of Grand Marshal A.
Reyes-appeared before the platform and
the leaders took their positions thereon.
DR.. Houard, OF Spanish prison notoriety
who had been announced to speak, failed to appear,
and It was intimated that fear Of prejadiclng his
case with the administration was the cause.
The meeting was called to order by M. v. MOSES,
who, in tho absence Of the appointed chairman, s.
l.. M. Barlow nominated f. II. SpinOa for
that position. In his opening remarks
that gentleman said I'VE have come to-
gether to ratify the nominations Of Greeley
and Brown and the candidates nominated at
Syracuse. He paid high compliment to Mr..
Greeley as the lifelong friend of the human race
and rebuked the military desp0tlsIn at washington,
which the people were arising in their might to
overthrow. He alluded to the course OF the ad-
ministration on tho Cuban question and stated
that for three long years Grant had not only re-
fused to assist people struggling for freedom, as
every conceivable obstacle In their way. LIE said
Grants loYe for freedom was only manifested In
family; that the people now demanded a Change,
and had arisen In their might to- break up the
military camps at washington ana the corruptions
extending throughout the country, more glarlng
than were ever known In this city. Mr.. Wolf then

General II. A. BARNUM followed as the represen-
tative OF the soldier element. He stated that he

ton of Horace Greeley; that his first vote cast

sounded, he had done the State some service He

do away with corruption.
General Barnum in continuing his remarks paid
an eloquent tribute to the Gubernatorial candi-
date, recting his war record both in the State
Legislature and Congress. His popularity during
the war was great that lie was elected to Con-
gress In a republican district.
Other speakers followed and the meeting was
kept up to a late hour.
