6 GRAND MASS -MEE1ING,xos,,.
= On Wednesday evening of last week
q grand Republican Mass Meeting was
held in New York as a akind of reply
to the Anti-Grant meeting held there
a few evenings previons. Cooper's IN
stitute was crowded TO oyerfowing and
a meeting of thousands was organized
in the public square; Gen. Sickles, Sem
ators Wilson and Morton addressed the
audience in the Institute, Numbers of
the most solid men of the city were
present mot office holders but mer-
chants, bankers and representative bus
iness men. We publish Senator Will
sons answer to some of the charges
made by Trumbull at the Anti Grant
meeting, We feel sure it will be read
with interest: ..,g.s s,d 10 es
=, Gentlemen, there was meeting here
theOther night. L do not propose to
say anything unkind of the men en-
gagged in it. I do not come to initiate
their example, to utter reproaehfui
words,of old comrades, or utter words
of condemnation of the party with
which ] have acted, and whose meas
,ures have sustained; but, gentlemen,
L want to notice kindly few of those
remarks. We were told as a reason
why that convention is. called, at Gin
Ieinnati that the Republican party is un-
der the control of Office holders. ,sGreai
God! gentlemen, a party of three and
Beue-half millions of men-strong men,
independent men controlled bysa few
thousand beggarly Office .h0lders, Why
gentlemen, to be an oficehoider is TO be
Ia beggar. The offices OF this country
hardly pay a decent, respectable living
to nineteen n-twentieths, of .the; men
holding Office. Now, look at the great
professions, look at lawyers. and re-
member the enormous. lees they re-
|ceive; look at the great merchants: look
at The men who build your railroads
land telegraphs, and the men engaged in
all other great business nowadays, by
which talent and character can find
their true action: 1t is these men
these merchants, these mechanics, thess
builders Of railroads and telegraphs and
planters of the great Industries of oul
time; it is these men and. the .greai
Lawyers who build great houses, havt
fine pictures and rich libraries, if the,
ever read them Laug hter.l Are no
these the. men, who have all the com
