CINCINNATI, Aug, "A large meeting
here Tonight to endorse the movement be-
gun for rev party in this country, was
addressed by several prominent citizens.
Resolutions endorsing the Cleveland Con-
vention we're adopted. =
Speech Of HON. Geo. E. Pugl.
Hon. Geo. e. Pugh was locdly called for,
and said in his observation of operations of
the Convention at Columbus, it arrsigned
both parties for dishonesty, and said he pro-
posed to spend the remaining years of his
life in whipping thieves and rascais out of
the temple of our liberties.
Letters we're read from ex-Secretary Cox
and Judge S.allo, both giving their adhesion
to the new movement. The former warned
them that past experience called for them
to make haste slowly, and called for them
to raise a high standard in their county
nominations, as well as In State.
Remarks of Judge Collins.
Judge Collins, the nominee for Governor,
was then introduced by Mr.. Pugh. He
traced the rise of the new party, dwelling
specially on the Cincinnati Convention,
where, he said, by adopting Horace Gree
ley they rejected the principles dvocated
By Jefferson, and were asked TO throw away
all principles to get man who had gone on
the bail of JEFF Davis. He did not indict
Horace Greeley as bad man, but as an
obstacle and delusion as a Democratic
candidate. In noticing the structures
made by the Democratic press upon this
70 az ola
mahon, of Dayton, that he would be suit
able Democratic candidate because he had
indicated the errors which that party had
made, Judge Collins said he too believed
Democrats erred at Chicago, but it was in
this State that the platform stopped short
of the demands Of the people; that there
was to be nothing less than complete re-
storation of the Union, he believed too, and
labOred for the nomination Of Judge Chase
in 1868, but the Democratic party could
not raise itself to the ecssicn.
He argued for Revenue reform, and urged
chat 0. of the serious objections was that
bad men understood the secrets Of their
machinery and used them to their own ad-
vantage, to the detriment OF the peoples
interest.
HON. Fred. Hassaurek
followed Judge Collins, in speech which
ELECTED frequent applause. BE claimed
that the purpose Of the new party was to
freeze out one of the old parties aud
straugle the other. The peoples party
was for equality, one equal justice to al.
men. BE believed the people would flock
to them as soon as they
were persuaded that it was to
be consistent fight for principle. He
urged reduction of office-hclders by abol-
ishiDg bureaus of agriculture and education
and the national printing Office, and wUile
he dill not intend to commit the party to
his views, be also favored the abolition of
the present system Of delivery of mails, by
which the government would contract for
delivery as now contracted for carrying
them, thus dismissing 80 900 officials in the
shape of postmasters. There must be, he
said, cutting down of office holders if we
would avoid plunging into Imperialism.
Speeches were made by Gen. A. Saunders
Piatt, The peoples nominee for Lieutenant
Governor, and VIM. Haller. After which
the meeting adjourned.
