special one, called for the purpose
Of discussing tho Presidential

Of welcome the President, William
Griesinger, Of Bridgeport, said,

by way Of introduction, institutes
q comparison between the princi

great parties, which is practically
an arraignmentof the Republican

the public affairs Of the country
the labOting classes have been
ground down, and wealth has been
concentrated more and more in tho

Of the many. Referring to Blaine,
the address declares that he is the
personiication Of all thatis corrupt
in tho Republican party. His
whole career as a public nun is
tainted with jpbbery aud associated
with measures hostile to the geuer.

Democratic party, the address
states that while IL does not come

urged to cast their ballots and use
