I held a Greeley and Brown meet
ing here on Saturday evening, Sept.
18th. The friends were out strong
and filed the Town Hall very COM
fortably. The presence ofladies con-
stituted somewhat new feature, and
proved the superior civilization of
Palmyra over all other townships.
am satisfied Palmyra wiz be the
banner township, I spoke for over
two hours without the least interrnps
ton from Grant partizans of any sort !:
the mouths of gainsayers are stopped
the thing is becoming dull--not
enough opposition to make it inter-

The friends here have an eye1to the

at the close of our meeting would not
allow me to leave without d handsome
gratuity for my success. This is the

every place 1 have visited. A little
time for thought, and the necessary
facts respecting the corruptions of the
Grant Adminfstiatiofi are all that is
wanting to wheel all honest men into
the Greeley ranks The. question has
been asked me, "Why don't Grant
men hold more meetings?" The fact
is, they are getting ashamed Of their
man and of the lies and fiimsy argu-
menfs employed TO elect him. IWsll,
there is some hope for men SO long as
the blushIef Shame win crimson the
cheek.
