Labor Reform Greenbackers in
the Court House, Speeches Of
Rev. Mr.. Doyle and MIR. G. G.
North, on Monday Evening,
September 2, 1878.

On Monday evening the main court
room was well filed bv An audience
# Democrats and Republicans, to
to hear Rev Mr. Doyle, candidate
for Legislative honCrs IN Hunting
don county, and Mr c. c. North, a
candidate for Congress, deliver green
hack speeches. 4 number of Labor
Reform Greenbackers were also pres
ent, and the meeting was directly un-
der their management.
Mr. Cullen, from Patterson, of
whom it is said, &" He has Legislative
aspirations as a Greenbacker, called
the meeting to order He delivered
speech. He said the object of the
meeting is, or was, to bring the
Greenback party before the people,
so that they may find out what clogs
the wheels of government 1--WE want
TO find out what is wrong. In the
name of God let us make it right.
That is what we are here for, to find
out what is wrong.
". T. Snyder was elected Chair
man, and W. H. Egolf and Mr.. Shin
del, Secretaries.
A number of Vice Presidents were
elected, after which Rev. Mr.. Doyle
was introduced by the President.
He is tall, stoutly-built man, with
dark hair, worn long and turned un-
der, and moustache and goatee-not
an imperial--a swarthy skin, and a
weak nose. He said that he came
here to present the cause and the cure
of our troubles. The country is full
of suffering; it should not be so.
Each individual is a sovereign, but
political rule, financial rule, is running
the country. The laborer is a wan
derer. What is the cause' There is
a cure. You should not rest till you
find the cause and seek the remedy.
We have liberty, but where is the
happiness :
What a fine chance the preacher
had to remind his hearers that the
Republican party gave him a clear
title as a sovereign, which title was
shadowed all the while that the slave
holder had foothold in this govern
ment with the practical application of
the doctrine that capital should own
its labor" He might have added
that in part. not in whole, the pres
ent state of affairs were brought
about by the war that crushed the
men who shadowed his title as SOW
ereign and threatened him with the
crack of the masters whip, and the
shackles of the slave. He might
have told that no circumstances or
or condition in life gives happiness,
that happiness is condition of the
mind which external circumstances
have little to do with but he missed
telling all such regular conclusions
TO his jerky remarks, and continued
by declaring that he had not come to
make a speech; he came to hear one
made. The cause of the trouble is
false doctrine, false teachers those
are the causes of the troubles. The
management of the nation is in the
hands OF people VINO nave peheu
their trust. We must have reform
alton. He is the nominee OF the
Labor-Reform Greenback party for
Legislature. He was objected to by
some people who thought that as a
preacher he should not take an active
part in politics. During the war he
was good enough for the Republl-
cans Here, again, the Reverend
gentleman is at fault, he not having
the discrimination to see that what
Republicans commended in him
was not politics, but his efforts for
the common rights of all. for his work,
that all men shall have equal rights
before the law; and now Repub-
leans believe that he is working IN
