greatest good to the greatest number, and that
that good comes from our success. hope that
this audience, ladies and all unite with me in
that sentiment, and that the speaker whom
have interrupted by coming IN at this late hour
viii convince YOU all of it before be gets
through. / am very much obliged to you for
your cordial welcome.
Mr. Zimmerman, who had been inter
rupted, did not at onceresume his speech,
and Gen. Grant came forward and said !:
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: I have been re-
quested TO serve as President. This is my
third term. Up in Connecticut this afternoon
was the second. was also President of po-
htieal meeting at Warren, Ohio. That was the
first time 1 was ever President of a political
meeting
Gen. Grant introduced Prof. Adams,
who sung two campaign songs.
Mr.. Zimmerman then finished his re-
marks, and Gen. Grant said:
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN : The next speaker
whom you are to hear this evening is gentle
man from Ohio, who will tell you, have no
doubt, how Ohio prevented the importation of
Democratic voters from Kentucky, Pennsylva-
MIA, and New York, and thereby we had great
Republican victory in that State. 1t may be
that you will want to apply the same tactics in
New Jersey that they did in Ohio TO prevent an
overplus of Democratic votes from coming in
here, and to assure the great Hudson county
victory and the New Jersey victory that you ex-
pect.
The General then presented Gen.
Bishop, of Ohio, who spoke briefly.
Gen. Grant meanwhile resigned the
Craftsmanship of the meeting to Gen.
Ramsey, and drove to the Henderson
Street Tabernacle, where he addressed
those assembled there as follows:
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN [ will do nothing
more than thank you for the cordially of your
reception. 1 have been attending political
meetings all afternoon and evening. I pre-
sided over meeting at Stamford, Ct, and was
called upon to make speech at a meeting in
Jersey City this evening. astonished myself
Fy talking five minutes, and l never thought of
doing such thing when got up. went so
far as to give what I believed reason why
New Jersey should join the whole North and
why the Democratic party would find it Just as
much to their interest to be beaten by us as
we will find it to our interest to beat them
The Republican party never asks anything
for itself which it does not grant to Others
If we have three to one in precinct, we do
not forbid the ballot to the fourth man..
but we allow him to come up and vote just as
he pleases and we count the vote just as he
casts it. Now all we ask for our carpet-baggers,
the colored race, and all others, is that they
shall be allowed to VOTE and not be turned ont
of their homes or ostracised. That is all we
ask. If Democrats beat us on this issue, we are
willing to accept the beating. The beauty of
such system as we have is, if bad Govern
ment gets into power. it can be changed at the
next election; but, if the shotgun policy is
adopted, a bad Government may be pcrpetuated
in the South forever; and, as all intelligent cit
lzens desire to retain the power of excluding
evil Governments, that is why New Jersey is
going to follow suit of all Northern States.
