The Terrified Won't Tumble-HOw
They Met to Condole and COun-
sci.
About 1880 P. NJ. yesterday the Sack
Club, band, anvils and bonires raised a
crowd, with the aid Of 1929, which was
gathered among candidates by Pete Cana
van.
w. W. Bishop called the Republican rati-
ication meeting to order last night in the
Courthouse. Tommy Douglas nominated
General Sabin, and he was elected Chair
man. The General spoke a few minutes,
and then followed the gentlemen in the
order named Major W. s. Long, Judge
Davenport, W. w. Hobart, F. J. Mette,
John T. Baker, Esq, and Hon. W. W.
Bishop.
Major Long created a bloody thorough
| fare in Corondalet street, New Orleans,
| where, to hear him tell it, the Democratic
| party piled up white, copper-colored and
black Republicans in n CORY mass, and
from that statement to the wind-up of Bill
| Bishops remarks, the whole kit wallowed
through Republican trouble and human
| gore, until all Of their shirts were bloody.
General Sabin declared that while he
lived the stars and stripes should not go
down before the stars and bars.
The Major got Republicans and blood
hounds all mixed up in the Louisiana
swamps, and said that in the Fifth Military
District, when they had q Republican com
mander, they always returned a Republi-
can majority, but when q Democratic COM
mander was in charge then it was that the
rivers and creeks were filled with multi
ated eorpses.
Mr.. Davenport started in as far back as
1860 and formed, link by link, a tolerably
good Republican chain.
Although the Nevada Republicans were
supposed to favor Blaine at the Chicago
Convention, Mr.. W. W. Hobart rendered
q glowing tribute to Grant as the greatest
man and truest Republican on the sod,
and his remarks were cheered, showing
that there were a few third-termers in the
house.
Mr.. F. j. Mette said: "My Republican
friends and fellow citizens, Mr.. Chairman,
ladies and gentleman" etc., and repeat
He told how he was once a Demo.
crat, and how he came to roll
out Of the frying-pan into the fire.

knew how it was himself. By fits an(
starts Mr.. Mette ratified off a glib Repub
lican speech. and it was about as well re
ceived as any Of them.
John T. Baker was loudly called for, ani
he made a very modest %, characteristic
speech. John evidently thought he wa
before the Damphool Inirmary.
Hon. W. W. Bishop closed the box in hi
usual "high-falutin" %harrangue; tore tn
CORY shirts from off the backs Of his terri
fed listeners, and hurled them into th
teeth Of the Imaginary hosts of copper
heads and secessionists before him; banged
away in his old manner about buying al
the Democratic votes he wanted on election
day. and wound up with an invitation I
the crowd to cheer Garfield and Arthur

three for Bill Bishop. The last three wer

1t was a noticeable fact that wheneve
General Hancock's name was mentione
last night the applause was enthusiastic.
