HE EULOGIZES BUTLER-AIMS AND E&PECTA-
TONS OF WORKINGMEN.
BosToS. August 5.-The following is the
substance of Kearney's speech delivered in
Faneuil Hall tonight: ~
Mr.. Chairman and Fellow-W orkingmen
and Women OF Boston,---On behalf OF the
workingmen OF the Pacific coast l thank
you for this grand and enthusiastic recep-
ton. In order to be as responsive to the
popular will and expression that went up
from this meeting tonight when certain
mans name was mentioned, / feel like bring
ing message OF greeting and love to the
man who is lesser than Macbeth, yet great
err; to that fiery and incompatible Rupert
OF debate; to that chivalrous and white
plumed Navarro OF the rostrum-gallant,
giant, glorious Butler. [Great applause,
and cries, ''Say it again.']
We bid him take heart and hope, and
hope that be will receive the reward from
the workingmen of Massachusetts, he so
Justly merits for bis bold and outspoken
action in behalf Of down-trodden humani-
ty. [Applause.l With the remark 1t Is
getting hot. Mr. Chairman" Kearney ut
this point took of his coat and loosened bis
cravat, amid the loud cheers and laughter
OF the audience. Continuing, he said: I
am sorry, friends, that we are not rich
enough to be able to hire Beecher to knock
the bottom out of he'll. What means this
outpouring of people? What means this
great tidal wave? What is the matter with
the country that the worktngmen are aris-
ing from North to South, from West to
East? TO do what? To take charge Of
their own affairs. [Applause.l
Here, upon the altar OF liberty; here,
where the sun first dawned upon the infant
brow OF liberty; here, where free men and
free women have spoken here, in the Sc
cond century of the independence OF Anne
rica, we find natural and popular upris-
ing OF the people. What does it mean ?
ask you, does it not mean death to the rail-
road robber and iecherous, thieving bond
holder? lApplause.l And does it not
mean political oblivion to the rancorous,
yilainous, political hummer? Applause
The speaker then paid his respects to the
press, saying from the earliest days OF print
ing newspapers had been more in the inter-
ests OF cut-throats. political bilks, daylight
thieves, and midnight assassins. [Great
applause and laughter. Il
For reporters Of the press he had great
respect, as they were workingmen. After
assailing the press in bis characteristic man
ner Kearney said: NeWspaper-men were a
yillainous, thieving, infamous band OF seat
awags that are aiming to control public
opinion. II the -workingmen Of the United
States possessed within their breasts sim
gle spark from which the flame OF freedom
could be famed they would not permit
such monsters to live In their midst; fhey
would control these telegraphs; they would
hurl these internal, lying scaiaWags from
power and select honest men to transmit
plain. unyarnished news. AS TO .unSram.
NAUTICAL sentences and ungrammatlcal
speeches, for $2. so can always hire man
to write n grammatical speech, but, y. takes
millions to buy an honest man, be heeeyer
