GRANT.
He Makes q Little Speech at syria.
cuse, New York.

SYRACUSE. N. Y. October 27.-Gsn.
Grant had q grand reception here ysstsr.
day. At q mass meeting this afternoon
he addressed an enthusiastic audience.
10 said: ~ am here today Of your 70.
quest, as conveyed to me drought .
committee. not to say much myself. but
to show my interest in the cause Of the
Republican party at the approaching
election. II / did not feel . deep 10.
terest in the succsss Of this party. I
would not be here. II I did not believe
IL was for the interest OF ali parties and
all sections that We should succeed at
this time. I would not be here. Among
the Democrats OF the North I have .
great many very warm personal friends
men whom ] like personally a. well as
any friends I have under the sun
There are some Of them whom I claim
as my friends. patriotic men, and I be-
li.ve that IL the Democratic party was
composed entirely. North and South. OF
such men I would still be Q Republican
but I would not feel as much distress IL
the Republican party wal not successful.
But even admitting that oil the Demo-
Gratis in the Northern States were OF the
class that I s~peak-but I do not admit Il
we would not be securs under Q Dem.
o~cratic Administration. You all know
what the Democracy 10 10 the Southern
States. and that 1t will control 10 the
Democratic party gets 10 power; and II
is Just as impossible that the limited
number OF Democrats Of the North
should control as 1t 10 that the dogs tail
would wsg the dog. tLaughter.1 The
Democratic dog lives in the South.
Laughter In all instances the dog
will wag the tail. and II the Democrats
should get into power the dog would be
so powerful that it would sweep down
all your industries. all your banks and
your manufactures and your industries
Of oil sorts and descriptions. We don't
want to see this. We know that with
all the energy Of the Northern people;
we all know that the North. with all its
great intelligence and its free schools.
its energy and industry could not be
stricken down not to rise again, but In
rising 1t would suffer years Of toll
and disappointment. We want to avoid
that, and to do that We want to
elect Garfield and Arthur In Novem.
Der. (Applauss.l You probably have
heard. and probably will hear again
before election day, the Democratic
party a~rrsignsd a. Q party tina. has new.
er. certainly not in q quarter OF o Gen.
fury, advocated or done one good act.
I will not quite agree with those speak.
ers now. but q few days ago / would.
But ! within q few days read an extract
from a speech made by q Southern ora.
tor whose audience was composed very
largely OF eolored men. and be told them
that they were lsboring under q great
mistake In supposing that Lincoln had
emuncipated them. He reminded them
Of the fact that Liucoln's emancipation
proclamation gave ninety days to the
rebels in which to lay down their arms
and saw their property. but they fought
right straight ahead. he said the proc
lsnation did not emancipsts them, and
hence Lincoln was not entitled to the
credit OF IL. That was o good act Of
that Democrat to make that announce
m.nt. Perhaps II was the best Demo.
cratic act performed in twenty years, for
the negroes down South do not possess
much more liberty now than they had
before the q Laughter and ap-
plause
General Grant then introduced Gen.
eral Stewart L. woodford, who made an
eloquent speech.
