Onkes Ames' RecepilOn-ilis Speech
The complimentary dinner and reception to
oakes Ames, by his townspeopfs'at North Eas-
ton, Mass, took place yesterday. Three hun
dred aud fifty ladies' and gentlemen took part.
DIR. George b Cogswell presided and welcomed
Mr. Ames to his home in a brief speech, highly
laudatory OF his course and expressive OF con-
tinued confidence in his honor and integrity.
He announced that this demonstration was
made irrespective of party, and ho felt tha.t he
expressed the sentiments of all when 10 sad
that while others sought to cast stigma upon
their representatives fair name ard reputation.
his constituents had always looked upon him as
that ''noblest work of God" Gn honest man.
He closed with tho sentiment ;--"rhe Hon.
Oakes Ames like gold from the crucible, has
passed through the fiery ordeal, and comes out
brighter and purer."
The following is one paragraph of the reply of
Mr.. Ames -
lhavo, as you are aware, been the principal sub
iect of abuse for the last six months. The press
of the country has been full of what has been
called Credit Mobilier scandal The whole of
fense il oifense it can be called, i5 in solling
ZIG 900 OF stock to eleven members of Congress
| at the same prico paid for it, l sold the Same
stock to others and IL the parties purchasing the
stock had simply told ths truth and said they
| had right to purchase it, that would have been
an end to it, but fIom the fact of their denial
/ the public suspected that there must be some
thing criminal in the traneaction, and to find ont
i what this crime was Congress appointed a COM
i mittee to inquire il Oakes Ames had bribed any
member Of Congress.
