The Grant Ratification Meeting In 81
Louis.
On Change, when the news Of Grants
nomination was received, it did net stir q
rifle on the placid bosom Of the com
mercial transactions, for everybody knew
that be would be nominated; indeed
everybody would have been greatly sur
prised if the affair had ended otherwise.
A few faint cheers we're raised for Grant,
but were soon drowned 10 roar Of hisssS
and hurrahs for Greeley. At night the
Democrat newspaper Office attempted to
get up a stirring ratification meeting in
honor Of the Automaten's nomination,
when, according to tho Times report,
Frank Boebm's band attracted a large
crowd to the corner of Fourth and Pine
streets, where the Democrat Office 10 situ.
ated.
Judging by the results it will be a
long time before they have another. As
often as tho band played or a sky rocket
was let off the crowd chsered for Greeley y
and Brown. This was slightly discourag
ing, and 10 ocountenance the disloyal senti
ment Chauncey l. FilIsy shortly made
his appearance on the balcony dragging
out one Of the numerous Fishback family
whom he introduced as the chief editor
of the Democrat Mr., Fishback would
open the campaign, Mr.. FiIley announced
to the crowd, 10 behalf of Grant and
Wilson.
