THE MEETING LAST NIGHT.

mouse, which, at an early hOur, was
filed to overlooking, and nearly as
many persons as comprised the audi
ence we're unable to obtain, admission
to the court room or the adjoining Of
fees, all of which were also filled to
their utmost capacity. A. f. Titus
was elected President of the meeting,
and Chas. La Force, Secretary. There
were also a long list of vice presidents,
composed of prominent Democrats,
but which we failed to obtain; conse-
quentlY are unable to publish. The
speaker of the evening, Hon. A. g.
Ellis, Democratic nominee for Con-
gress, was introduced 10y ehe President,
and was greeted with the most enthu-
siastic applause. He made an elabor-
ate speech, full of sound reasoning and
replete with telling points. Without
indulging in vituperation, he arraizned
the Administration and the leaders of
the Republican party, exposing their
G Eruption and clearly demonstrated
the fallacy of the doctrine of "ieform
within the party" He spoke at
length upon the silver question, COM

that his efforts were not seconded by
the representatives of his own party in
the Senate, to whom was attributable
the defeat of all the measures in favor
Of the silver interests. The Chinese
question was handled in a mastery
manner, and the hollow professions OF
the Republican leaders upon the sub
ject criticised in severe but
dignified terms. The speaker avowed
his unalterable opposition to
any division of the school fund tor sec
tartan purposes, and referred to the
st. Louis platform As ample proof Of
the soundness OF the Democratic party
upon that question. In relation to the
Confederate war claims, he adduced
facts and figures in proof that the
claims of that character introduced by
Southern carpet bag representatives,
and allowed by the Republican Forty
third Congress, so far exceed those
passed by the Forty fourth Democratic
House that the balance vas vastly in
favor of, or rather against, the former.
In short, his discourse included all OF
the issues Of the campaign and were
all dwelt upon in a which in
dicated his complete knowledge of the
political history Of the Government as
we'll as it's present condition. The
speech was a%ttentively listened to
throughout, and was only interrupted
by frequent bursts of applause.
After Mr.. Ellis had finished speak
ing, Thos. Laspeyre was called for.
He addressed the audience for about
three.quarters of an hour in an able
speech, which was we'll received by
the audience. After Mr.. Laspeyre had
finished lis remarks the meeting adj
journed.

THE RICHMOND MINING COMPANY.
An anonymous writer in London, hav-
ing published a pamphlet rejecting
upon the management of this COM
pany, the directors in reply make the
following statement:
:Never was the mine in so good a
condition, or the prospects of the
shareholders better; there is at least
three years ore in sight, mostly of
good quality; the furnaces and rein
cry are doing good and profitable work.
The output for the month OF August
just ended is $272, 900, or G54,00 0 ster-
ling, all produced with the exception
Of about 80, 500) from ore from the
Richmond mine alone. The very last
information the directors have re-

August last is very little short of g20,-
000."
