by Gen. Grosvenor.


throughout.
f. III. Morse, Esq, presided and introduced
Gen. G. III. Grosvenor of Ohio, who spoke an
hour and a half. He was listened to with the
closest attention throughout, and was heartily
and enthusiastically applauded again and
again. AT the close of the speech number OF
prominent Republicans thanked the speaker
for his remarks, and the meeting closed with
the very best of feeling.
The following is a synopsis of the Generals
speech;

Republican party has had a platform of princi-
pie alike in all the States of the Union, and
hence the Ohio Republican is at home in
Maine, and has an equal and similar interest
in the result with the Republicans of this
State. Upon the other hand the enemies of
Republican success are organized i'll two sepa-
rate and wholly distinct columns. One the
Democratic party, the old time-honored enemy
of all political good. The other the new-fan-
gled party of Greenbackers. They have so sta
toned their batteries that their guns do not
bear upon each other, but ALI point into the
camp of the Republicans. One is the Dan Rice
and the elephant in the big circus tent; and the
other the fat woman and the big snake, all Tor
