QUINCY, H., July 2,-Thc Tilden ratification
meeting held in this city on Saturday last was
dismal failure; although the affair had been i'd
several days before. twenty-five speakers
were announced, of whom only four
made their appearance, and the crowd !
was neither 1arge nor enthusiastic The
fact Is, the Tilden nomination does not wear
well with the Democracy Of this vicinity, the |
gTecnbackers being especially disguised with it.
Gen Singleton has publicly declared his oppo- |
sitfon to it and announced his purpose to run |
for Congress on the soft-1noney ISSUE He an- !
pounces the St. Louis platform studied de- |
ception and frand. His detection Is causing the |
