interfered with by the Democratic Convention
getting through with its business at so late an
hour. Then the speeches expected had really
been made in the convention during the after.
noon. Nevertheless, Judge Cation was pre-.
vailed upon to mount the Court House steps
in the evening and address the people, and In
a very short time an audience larger than
could have found seats IN the Court House
had gathered around him. The speech was a
very able one, and was listened to with the
deepest interest, and was frequently inter.
rupted with applause.

Greeley Meeting At Morris.

The Greeley ratification meeting at Morris.
the county seat of Grundy county, on Friday
of last week, is pronounced I'm every respect
perfect success" even by fair.minded Grant
mer. The little county of Grundy, when do
ing its best, has hitherto polled less than
thousand democratic voters; yet nearly
thousand voters were present at this meeting,
and it comprised but a fraction of the Greeley
men Of the county. The meeting was presld-
ed over by J. w. Lawrence, liberal republi-
can, with half dozen of democrats and liber-
ais as vice-Presidents and secretaries.
Of course the chief attraction was the speech
of Judge Trumbull, who, though quite hoarse
from much speaking in the open air of late,
was heard with profound interest as he pre-
scented the unsnswerable facts and figures up
on which is based that opposition to the Grant
administration, which. embracing fourth of
its former supporters with the democratic
masses, is destined to overwhelm it in Novem-
Der with lgnsnlmous defeat.
Another speaker at this meeting, who at
tracted attention both for eloquence and sound
sense, was our youthful friend, Arthur ]. Ca
ton, son of the Hon. j. D. Cation.
Speeches were also made, in the course of
the evening, by D. H. Pinney, Esq, of Joliet,
Hon. ]. o. Norton, Judge G. d. A. Parks and
B. DIN, Esq.
The Greeley men ore so encouraged by the
indications, as manifested by the numbers and
spirit of this meeting that they unhesitatingly
promise majority against Grant in that hith-
erto invulnerable republican stronghold, little
