The meeting took place ut the north fr,rt

with four electric lights The crowd was not
so large rs that at the Goir meeting, by prob.
ably one.fourth. Still It was Of u good deal
more tlIan respectable size. The order was
less perfect and the attention not 50 good, ms
when the Republican candidate SPOKE, this
probably being attributable to the fact that
MIR. uoods voice was somewhat hoarse from
frequent speaking In the open air.
MIR. Michael Reilly presided At the meeting,
and W. 7. Wiley was elected Secretary.

Mr. Reilly introduced Mr.. Good, who was
most u.iastically received, with cheers for

very dogs howl ut him on tho street.
This man without reputation and
without character had made these charges
The speaker denied them, and branded them
rs lies. What was his surprise upon coming
up here to learn that the German Republican
paper was accusing him OF favoring the other
side, OF the question. II was said that he had
written u letter TO II Wheeling man favoring
the amendment This was also false. II was
said that the letter was now In existence and
in the possession of man In this city. He
denied this, and demanded that the man now
produce the letter, or ever after hold his
peace.
Mr.. Good then branched Off into discus.

heat. lie also regretted the tendency OF the
National government to Capitalization, say.
Ing that the Federal government had urslrped
the prerogatives Of the State Courts to such
an extent that Federal Office holder could

II he s%cars that 1t was committed, in the dis.
charge Of his duty nor Gun colored man be
tried in the State Courts if he makes affidavit
that he fears he will be denied his civil
rights. This latter point he illustrated by
citing The history OF the aylor Strauder case.
The speaker then came 10 the tariff ques.
ton, and the fact that this is question
OF more public interest than he would like to
have it was shown by the cheers that greeted
his introduction OF this topic. lie said he
