After the ovation to Mr.. Good, on Satur,

portion of the city resolved to continue
the good work thus auspiciously begun.

ground, and will bear an abundant harvest

The meeting was called TO order by J. N
Todd, who called Charles l.. Davis 70 pre-
side. Without any preliminaries, he IN
trodueed Col, W. W. Arnett who made
one of the finest campaign speeches ever
delivered in this city. 1t was pointed and
eloquent, and from the vociferous applause
with which il was interspersed, struck a
favorable chord in the minds Of its hearers.
COL. ARSETT's SPEECH.
Col. Arnett, after demonstrating the fact
that the history Of the Democratic party
in both Federal and State affairs was one
of economy and reform, invoked the assist
ance of every friend of the Democratic
faith to work as we'll as vote for Mr.. Good,
because, he stated, Democratic supremacy
might, and probably would, through his
election, be obtained in the popular
branch of Congress.
Reminding the people that according to
the opinion Of Burke and in conformity 70
truth, the political party possessing long
lease of power must inevitably become
corrupt, he urged upon the people the ne
cessity of choosing the Democratic nominee
in order to terminate Republican domino
ton. He showed that the act for the reas-
sessment OF the lands, passed by the last
operate to the relief of actual settlers, and
only impose q Just share Of the burdens OF
government upon foreigners holding large
frscts of land in the new and unlmproyed
counties of the State.
Then, with plea for harmony and orga.
nization, Col. Arnett closed magnificent
speech with the following peroration:
i believe in Democratic principles. be-
lieye them TO be the great principles OF
personal and political liberty and devoutly
pray for their popularity and preservation.
With the facts patent to all that our best
interest would lead US to vote for our nom-
inee for Congress, as likewise that under
Democratic supremacy our State has made
rapid and gigantic strides forward in the
march of promotion, | can, as | do, appeal
to you all to
VOTE THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET
throughout With theincrcase of population
in the State from 10000 to $4,000
within single decade, and proportional
in all the departments and
branches of industry and enterprise we
may feel justly proud Of our little State
and its growth undere Dmocratic dominion.
Away with the idea that HubbelPs mil
lions can corrupt our people. Mountain
GERS will not only always be free, but they
will always be true. They are too near to
heaven for vagrancy. The scenes
that made Winkleried famous were
in Switzerland. the theatre OF Tell
was in the mountains. AS to people and
material we have no superior. We ask no
boast of any cline under the heavens.
Our skies are as balmy and bright as any
on earth; our lands are as broad and rich;
our men are as wise and brave, and eur
women as chaste and beautiful. For such
a people let us have Democratic supremacy;
for such a land let us have the principles
of Democratic polity, Democratic economy
and Democratic prosperity, and all will b,
we'll.
JOHN S. ROBINSON
was the next speaker. He has already
made quite record as a successful stump
speaker, and on this occasion he outdid
himself The first part of his speech was
devoted to showing the anfaltering deyo-
lion that Mr.. Good has always manifested
to the cause of the workingmen. That his
auditors believed this was shown by their
ready and general applause. The aftidavitet
Mercer was next taken up and handled
without gloves. The fact that Mercer was
driven from the town for a crime so low,
so bestial and so degrading that its mere
would bring blush to the cheek
of shame Itself was fully brought out, and
even Republicans in the crowd denounced
the Inteiligencer for the publication OF any
thing from so despicable man.
The closing portion of Mr.. Robinson'S
address was devoted to talk to the labor
ing classes present, urging them to vote for
Good, to which course they were urged by
principle, by gratitude and by right.
COL ROBERT WHITE
