prpUBLICAN MASS MEETING.

,bs two distinguished ORATORS OF the lie
nnblican party, W. W. Bishop. Esq, and
Colonel r. H. Taylor. On the platform,
"a IN the former occasion, quite mum.
her Of ladies graced it with their pres
snce. The meeting was called to order
MJudge Corson, when Governor Cross
man was elected Chairman, with num-
b.r Of Vice Presidents, and Thompson
Campbell, Secretary. After the organiza-
tim of the meeting was effected, the
Chairman introduced Colonel R. H. Tay-
,or. who received a very cordial greeting
from the audience. The Colonel, after
a few preliminary remarks, addressed
himself vigorously to the matter in hand,
first paying his respects to the Demo.
cratic party. In fact, during the whole
of bis speech, Colonel Taylor did not al.
low the Democrats any chance of COM
plsining that he. neglected them. Re-
fsrdng to the time soon after the close of
The rebellion, he said that the Demo-
cratic party, finding that the rebellion
was failure, that slavery had been
blotted out, had to take and adopt the
principles of the Republican party. See
ing this, he did not think there was any
further use for the Democratic party; in
fact, be believed that the members of
that organization thought so themselves,
and that made them steal the Republic
can thunder. That at the time the De-
mocracy nominated Greeley as their can
didate and ashamed or afraid of its old
name and assumed the title of the Dem
ocratic and Liberal Republican party.
that it committed political suicide and
became q thing of the past. The
Of apostasy made against him and
others. He said the Democratic
party had left him. it was not he that
left that party. That as the Democracy
had left him. he had to 60 to the Repub-
lican party, which he firmly believed to
be the Democratic party of to-day. 1t
was the same party, only under another
name. So far, he had seen no reason to
regret his action; on the contrary, saw
many whereat to rejoice. The speaker
then proceeded to demonstrate the hol.
lowness OF the claim OF the Democratic
party to be considered the friend of the
people, citing the action of the Demo-
Gratis in Congress, in refusing to support
Hawley's motion for q committee of in
aury into the affairs of the Central and
Union Pacific Railroads, also McCrary e
bill. Colonel Taylor then referred to
the record OF the Republican party, how
it had enacted the homestead law, had
protected the rights of actual, settlers
who had located in good faith on lands
afterwards claimed by railroads, requir.
ing railroad companies to take out
patents so that their land could be taxed
as well as those Of other proprietors.
The summing mp he showed that the
record was greatly in favor OF the Re.
publican as compared with the Demo.
cratic party. The Colonel then analysed
the cry of corruption and reckless ex.
pendlture so freely used by the Democrats
that it was not based on facts, was g
mere claptrap made without sense OF
reason, and not susceptible Of proof. AT
any rate, when the Democrats wert
asked to give particulars they invariably
Jailed to do so. and yet kept using the
same old cry, Col. Taylor then pas ii . u
larized the great reductions that hat
been made in the national debt and tn
burden OF taxes; that the number o
Government employees were reduced a
rapidly as the exlgencies admitted. II
then pointed out the punctual manner il
which faith with the public c,editor ha
been kept and how the credit Of the Ma
tion abroad was better than it ever wa
before. Again. adverting to the charg
of corruption, the speaker stated that th
Republican party had the great and unit
sua merit of searching out, exposin
and Furnishing the delinquents, Nm
would not allow the name of their part
to be used as cloak for peculation I
crime of any character. The Democrat
on the contrary, made point ofconcea
ing such offences and screening Il
offenders, instancing the Swartwoat cas-
Col. Taylor then glanced at the conc

Taylor said that the Republic
party had not fulfilled its mission,
was needed to hold in check facti
which sought every opportunity to up
the established forms Of law by violer
instead of the ballot, the only pro-
mode of effscting alterations. He I'll

and felicitous language the duty OF
good citizens to support the Republi
