GREELEY AND BRowT.
4 meeting Of the Greeley and Brown Club
vas held on Saturday evening. The President,
6. r. Simpson, Esq, on calling the meeting to
order; made an address defending and explain;
from the false statements lately made by
Mid-0cean newspaper. He claimed for Greeley
the most brilliant ninety days record ever made
by any member OF Congress in that time. He
was the father OF the Homestead laws now
claimed as glorious stars in the Grant perform
ances. He was not frightened by the little
shower that had fallen in Pennsylvania; be Was
only aroused to 60 on to victory.
He then introduced General Stiles, who
spoke at eome length, making clear. manly
reforms for which the Liberal party are con-
tending, and the necessity for such reforms
to delirer ns from selfish military Government,
controlled by Butler, Cameron, Carpenter,
Logan, ct id on1rse genus, and exercised for the
best interests of the Presidential relatives, and
all those who came seeking office with gifts in
their hands. He closed By naming Grant the
champion gift-taker.
The last speech Of the evening Was made BY
Hon. Leonard Swett, whose remarks were brief,
sketch of the men and the principles Of each Of
the Grant and Liberal parties, and insisted on
the necessity OF change Of rulers in the inter-
ests Of good men and q good Government. He
knew majority Of the men Of the country
were opposed to Grant. If that majority could
have 9 fair vote, Greeley would be elected; but
whether elected now or not, our principles are
right, and sooner or later they must prevail.
