The republican meeting appointed for
last Monday evening, was postponed until
tuesday evening, on account Of = prior
claim made by the democracy for the time.
Last evening a packed audience gathered
at VanEps hall. and listened first TO an ad-
dress by
NJ. GRIGsBY, E.o.,
which in many places was highly eloquent,
and in others full If lncontrovertible logic.
He attributed the ~no-issue dodge and the
Bloody shirt" howl of the democracy TO q
desire TO stitie in the north any disposition
to combat the solid south in its claims for
damages 10 rebel property, its demands for
pensions 10 rebel soldiers, its assertions that
the rebel debt should he paid, and other
schemes Of taat character. He very COM
pletel, showed The necessity OF such an is
sue AZ patriots are striving 10 keep before
the people, and then took up the campaign
az it e2ists in Dakota. Judge Bennett has
q right to depend upon the support of every
republican, all Of whom are in honor bound
to strive for his election, both because he
vas virtually promised this by his nomina-
ton, and because he is under all the circum-
l~stances the best choice that conld have been
made. The canard in regard to a dicker
between him and Col. Moody, in regard to
the nomination, was comple tely disposed of,
and the speaker had al opportunity to know
what he vas talking about.
GEN. w. II. II. BEADLE

at Fort Donaldson, when that regiment cap
tured the place, was made a text for the pat
riotism which saved this nation. To the
triumphs of the republican party in war was
added its civil understanding fer Ameri.
ca the best financial credit Of any civilized
nation, and in commerce making sall the
world our debtor.
Judge Bennett received from the speaker
as full an indorsement as was evergiven any
man, and Gen. Beadle knows him more in
umately than any one else, having been as
Bocsa,ed with him almost continually for
year in the coditication Of Dako,a's statutes
and he does not give his indorsemen
to men who do not deserve it. He says be
never stood and talked with more hearti
ness for any man, pronuncing him to be tn
most brilliant official in theterritosy, which
now enjoys the best territorial government
in the union, thanks TO the evidences it fur
nishes the authorities at Washington as t
