Manchester, discuss the political issues

SYNDICATE.
We have had bona fde republican
meeting here. The report had been going
round that this town was all Greeley, so
we thought we would see if it was true,
and some of our live Grant men made
arrangements for a public meeting on
Thursday evening Of last week. Not
withstanding the storm our Town House
was filed by those anxious to hear and
Judge for themselves. The speakers were
l., Muneon, Esq, and y. i. Simonds, of
Manchester, and Jas. IL. Garfield, Esq,
Of jackson, Mich. The addresses were
able, interesting and logical, and were at
tcntiyely listened to for two and half
hours, this fact alone showing the appre-
citation of the sentiments advanced. We
think you viii find when election comes
that the majority Of us stick to the good
old Union republican party, and cannot
be allured away after strange gods or to
feast on crow. We know that certain
parties out of town talk of their great
influence here, and tell bow and what
they can do with our voters, but ! think
they will find we can think and act for
ourselves, and are capable also of iudg-
ing upon the issues Of the day. H.

by Hon. Harmon Garfield of Arlington,
and D. X. Simonds Of Manchester. The

the enemy, they are confident Of giving
a good record at the polls in September
