Las Friday night some fifteen of the
immense army of the ardent admirers
Of the "superb" figure-head of the
Democratic party lin cOrsets) rallied
for the third time at the school house
in District No. IL. One or two Of them
were armed with large and vOlumin-
Gus scrap books crammed full Of RE
publican authority" so that the very
sight Of one Of them was enough to
make q Republicans hair stand on end.
There were also twelve or sixteen Re
publicans present. The first big gun
presented was John o. Malley. His re-
marks were characteristic Of the man
and his party-full, free, wOrdy, rich
in metaphor and eXtravagant i'm hope.
Some of the ideas were remarkable for
their novelty and originality. He
maintained that the mission Of the Re
publican party was fulfilled with the
close of the war, and the liberation Of
the slaves; that it was dead, and only
its ghost has been stalking around.
This is certainly the most remarkable
ghost story We ever heard of. A scrap
book WAS produced and tit-bits Of con-
stitutiOnal law and Republican au-
thOrities" read. This, Of course, was
crusher to the Republicans present,
who looked as though y mountain
hOwitzer, loaded with soap bubbles,
had been fired into the rank and file If
the party.
Mr.. l.. +. Parsons. was invited to
speak in favor of Republicanism, and
delivered his maiden speech, which
his partizans fully appreciated.
Mr.. DOlan followed, and replied
with his usual deliberativeness. He
touched upon the free trade plank Of
their platform, giving his views Of the
subject i'm clear and concise manner.
He in turn was followed by Mr.. Nc
Entee. Of the three speakers the lat
ter is certainly entitled 10 the most
praise. He abused no one; heaped 10
Goals of fire upon the head of either
leader. In business-like manner he
gave us his opinions and his reading
upon the early history of his party.
We feel that he is sincere in his con-
victiOns, and no Republican hears him
without respecting and esteeming him
for them.
Meeting adjourned.
