There can be no doubt of that 1t is the great
question of the emancipation of the laboring man
from the slavery of corporate wealth; it the great
question of this generation. Because thequestiOn
of the emancipation of the blacks was not set
tied peaceably, there was bloody and cruel
war. God sent the war to free the slave So,
the war will come to free the laboring man
from the oppressors that have got him down.

The General concluded, whereupon there
were cries for Grady, when he again stepped
forward and said, MIR Grady is not here. He
is. IN New York where he is doing good service.
You must remember that this is the anti-mo-
nopoly party and you must not expect to mo
nopolize two speakers like M. Grady and my
self in one evening One more favor. l want
you to join with me in three cheers for the party

The cheers were given and the crowd dis
persed.
1t was 10 o'clock when he brought his speech
to close, and before he concluded his remarks
the crowd of 10, 900 which was gathered when he
began had dwindled to less than 1000. There
was some cheering at the close of
his Speech but the lingering listeners
soon dispersed, and Gen. Butler returned to his
hotel. He went directly to his room, and after
INDUCING for moment the, presence of those
who had followed him, pressed them to the door

GENERAL .BUTLER's ALLEGED RECEPTION
The local Greenbackers had extensively ad
vertised that after the meeting last night Gen
eral Butler would give a reception to
his friends at the Grand Hotel, but
the reception was not an especially cor
dial one. Mr.. Butler was evidently tired out
from his continuous travelling and frequent
speaking, and only stayed in the parlor very
few minutes, not more than ten perhaps. In
that brief time, however, the room was crowded
with enthusiastic supporters, who slapped him on
the back and shook hands with such enthusiasm
as to seriously threaten dislocation of his arm.
The Son of Destiny-never the most aimable of
men-stood this as long as he could. and finally
said ''Well, my friends, must tell you good
night now; 1 am tired and have 20 get up early
in the morning You must excuse me-" And
he got up, opened the door, and apparently
showed out those who seemed desirious of hpger-
ing, Journal reporter who was present, with
Butler, effected his escape when the trouble had
scarcely begun.
