q chrtain extent distinct. One was the
parade of over rtwenty-.hree thousand
uniformed aud torch-bearing men on
Broad stfeet and the other was q recep-
tion OF General George 3. Mcclellan by
the Hancock Veterans, connected with
monster meeting which first filled Hot-
t!cultural Hall and then Broad street in

ed thousands Of people. Gen McClell-
an arrived about q tolelerk and received
immense applause. q
Majot Moses. niVeale presided over
the meeting and Introduced Gen. A. l..
Pearson, of Pittsburg, as the opening
speaker. The latter told of his conver-
sion from the Republican party. He
was delegate to the Chicago Couven-
tion, but left there in disgust before
the national nominations had been
made.sf He subsequently saw to his
surprise thattheman VINO had been pub
lished in all the leading papers OF the
country as aidishonest man, James A.
Garfield, had been placed at the head
of the ticket. This induced him to
think, and the nomination OF General
Hancock by the Democracy decided
him. Applause. Referring to In
diana he compared it to the driving in
of the skirmish line but, said he,
''the old battle lines are coming up
shoulder to- shoulder and when we
meet the enemy in November next
victory will be ours. +" fCheers and
applause.
General ". W. Ayerll, of New J ork
formerly. member Of General Me
Clellan,s staff, was the next speaker HE
made the point that. the tarli IS not a
question for the decision oithe President
but for Congress and the people and the
latter shouts not be led astraY by the
false issue. He thought from the appear
ance of the audience that f'here was a
solid North for Hancock As Well as a
solid South.
Geueral Martin t. Mcmahon, also Of
New York, said New York v ill give
50,000 majority for Hancock. He began
TO read the letter Of Gatheld TO the Lynn
manufacturer with reie euce 10 Chinese
cheap labor when The appearances oi
General Mcclellan on the stand caused
an interruption,
After General McC Clelian Lad acknoWk y
edged the enthusiastic reception BY a few
remarks and brief season Of hand
shaKing General Mcmahon Concluded
readingthe letter which was received
with boots and cries of"That reaches
you, boys.
General Mcmahon said notwithstand
ing Gartield's denial the letter was IN
the, hands of the national comnitt ee,
we'll authenticated by expert cJnlpar-
ison, as weilas by Other proof which is
overwhelming, that he did write ii. The
policy isto continue to deuy ID until tie

bringing of American labor IN competi-
tion with the barbarous Chinese labor
that the man who attempts 10 sustain
himself and family must compete with
the barbarian wv no lives IKE a brute.
At this point the arrival Of the process

At eleven O'Clock General Mcclellan
was replaced by General Seklts, as he
was obliged TO take the midnight tram
for Trenton. With great difficulty N
made his way TO the barauble in wait,
