All yesterday afternoon brass bands paraded
the streets advertising the mass meeting to be
held by the Republicans in Market hall last
evening. The noise and hustle, attracted a full
house, and noisier gang never assembled in the
city. The ''bloody shirt was tfsf

of the evening and it was run in by each and
every speaker.
Col Hicks, he with the ponderous head and
laundering voice, was called to the chair, and he
opened with one of his old speeches, so often
heard here.
Judge Terrence, one of the genuine ultras,
was the first to speak He had much to say
about Democratic history from bigoted Repub-
lican standpoint. He spoke of the election of
Tiden and the fraudulent voting of the thief,
Hayes, and the only explanation he had the te-
merity to vouchsafe that the returning board
could not endorse the methods of
Tilden's election. From that Terrence shifted
TO Grover Clevelands record, and with that
threadbare sophiStry so often exploded beyond
regeneration by the Democrats. he spoke of the
various vetoes of Cleveland. He did not think it
an evidence of craftsmanship that he had been
sheriff. Then the speaker alleged that he never
was elected by the people TO the Office of gov
ernor, but by the Democrats, the Republicans re-
naming at home on election day.
Judge Terrence jumped from the national to

modest scale. however, this time. This was
followed with freight of tafy about this
great and growing metropolitan city, whose
fame had extended all over the country, and was
known in Europe, and which cannot afford to

He proceeded at great length landing the Re-
! publican nominees, denouncing the Democratic
and waving the bloody shirt.
The speaker finally wound up his 'few re-
