PUBLIC SPEAKING AT THE GRANGE
HAIL.-On Tuesday night last a joint meet
ing of the LIST and End ward Democratic
Clubs was held at the Gran sc Hall, and adj
dresses were delivered by Col. j. II. Skinner
and Gen. Jno. Echols.
The hall was about half filled with audi
tors. quite number of whom were ladies'.
The Stonewall Band was in attendance and
contributed greatly to the interest of the oc
casion and the size of the crowd by its excel
lent music.
Col. Skinner, of course, opened with the
usual prelude of reform, but didn't say a
word about the gigantic frauds which, with
in the past few days, have been unearthed
in Philadelphia and New York, by which
the Performers" sought to augment their
votes by tens of thousands.
In his whole speech Col. Skinner followed
the line of argument pursued by Col. Holli-
day, in his speech, OH court-day. 1t excited
very little enthusiasm.
He was followed BY Gen. Echols, who, in
a speech Of some fifteen minutes, awakened
quite hurrah. Calls were then made for
Judge Shelley, but that gentleman had left
the hall, and after q tune by the band the
meeting adjourned.
