Patterson tool the stand after the
withdrawal of Ellis and made a tell
ing speech. He spoke OF the abusive
speech, made sometime z by d. o.
Atkinson, of Virginia CITY, and gave a
few of his reasons for not supporting
Grant, n of which was that, since il
had cost Grant $4,000, outside of his
salary, to run the Government. he did
not propose to help keep a man in a
position in which he was losing
money. Spoke of the charge maze
against Greeley as favoring fe-
male suffrage, and at the close
sat down amid a shower of APP
plause. General r. NJ. Clarke on be-
ing called for responded in his usual
brilliant manner, giving a true and
impartial detail of the frauds com
mlt,ed on the Government during the
administration of L. 5. Grant; he gave
his views on capital and labor, spoke
at some length on the ignoble practice
of granting the public lands of this
country to railroads and corporations,
discussed the injury done to the
country and white labor by the im-
portation of AsiaticS, and called OF the
people to bear il mind the integrity
of the country at stake, and abandon
the idea of supporting a personal Gov
or party where no test is re-
CURED but a pledge to for Grant
and all principles of right and justice
are cast to the dogs. Judge Wells was
addressing the meeting when we left
the hail and no doubt set forth truths
in defense of the good cause, pungent
and incontrovertible. Space and time
will admit of but a synopsis of the
speeches made, and we reluctantly
to a close.
