Gus applause. He congratulated the audience on
the enthusiasm with which they met tonight. The

JUDGE +. II. FARRAR,
Familiarity known as "JOhnny Reb" was the next
speaker. This was the flrst national canvass he
had been In for years; but he began again cheer
fully, hopefully and enthusiastically believing 1t,
as Senator Hendricks had said, to be revolution,
and one In which the people would regain their
rights He thought the objection urged by some
to Mr. Greeley, that he was not their first and only
choice, not entitled to consideration; as being
the second choice there was sufficient to elect him.
in an effective speech he endorsed the nomination
and election OF Greeley and Brown, and pro-
nOunced them fully entitled to the support Of all
good citizens Of the South. He urged them to
ignore the past and look forward only to the future,
which was full OF hope and success for the whole
country Greeley had been successful In everything
that he opposed In the past and with Gods blessing
now that he was opposed to Grant he would be
successful too.
A number OF other speakers followed In the same
strain, and at two A. NJ the meeting broke up.
About two hundred delegates have arrived to the
Democratic State Convention tomorrow, all of
whom, with the exception OF Governor Extra
satfon of Greeley and Brown by the Baltimore Con-
yentiOn.
