of P. T BArnum. A Greeley meeting in

personal VISIT, thanked the crowd for their
com pliment and said:
"Ctizens of Bridgeport, my visit has no
reference 10 politics, bur is to fulfil prom
ise made year ago to personal friends
This gathering is entirely unexpected
but | take it as testimonial 10
my forty years of earnest labor, as
mark of good will, aud in a
measure, of oniideuce. ALLOW me to make
a single remark in reference to one aspect
of the great struggle now going on in our
country. Strategy in politics is the tribute
which craft pays 10 strength. The wolf skin
proving too short the fox's tail is pressed
into service to piece il out. You see at this
day q great party struggling to avert defeat
By distrActing and breaking up the fost
which is opposed to it. You would not have
| federal ofhee-holders working so hard to get
up ird ucket if they did not fesl sure
that between the two tickets already IN the
| fisld the verdict was against them. The
effort then to distrsct the host on our side is
& confession of despair. As such receive it.
| The confession remains. The despair is
not likely to pass away. Thanking you for
your kindness, bid you good night"
Mr.. Greeley then withdrew amid the
greatest enthusiasm, and the audience quiet.
