now breaking in npon them giving hope that the
pure principles promulgated by the Louisville
Convention will redeem the country in 1876 and
place it under the control of pure and honest pa
triots, who will proclaim in words like the immor-
tai Jackson BY THE GREAT ETERNAL this

William Reynolds, in making the main speech
OF the evening, ridlculed the inconsistency of
Horace Greeley as being the candidate OF the
Democratic party. Bad as Grant was, he was
preferable to Greeley, for while the first only
executed the laws the latter dictated all the OBJ

legislation. In referring to the ratification meet
Ing, held in front of the City Hail. in which the
antediluvian was washed out and the Postdilu-

not reach very far from the Gulf of Mexico. In

the State became indebted, ,eulogized Democratic

only adopted his principles but his manners.
He spent mnch Of his time in denouncing negro
suffrage, predicting untold horrors il the negro
attained to power. He found particular obiec.

naming him.
DIR. brown again took the stand and explained
his position, complaining Of the way in which he
had been treated, and referring to the charge
made against him some years ago Of employing
negro mechanics. He thought he had done
right, and would do the same thing again, for
the common instint OF humanity demanded that
the poor 'ngger," whom our forefathers stole
and brought to this country should not be al
lowed to starve. He then distributed the Truth
Teller and the Democratic ticket with the Straight
out electors on them, when the meeting adjourn
