ECHOES FROM THE MEETING.

the HepuOlCdu RdlheIlbB last night. IL
spare his feelings no reference was made
to the letter which never came.
1t was rather a strange circumstance
that every speaker felt it incumbent upon
himself to explain lust why he was a
Republican. After they had concluded
most of them still LETT a good deal for the
Imagination.
Jack Medium, the Tyrolean warbler
and sin~gle-handed contortionist, looked as
pretty as he could last night. He made a
few remarks on the how | do love to
work for Carey order that might have
served for an editorial article in the Eddy
street paper. Me and the Judge is great
people according to Jack. By the way,
as Medium thought Organ was not a
man of big enough caliber to run for con-
gress, it was the height of presumption in
a mental feather-weight like the ex sur
veyor general to have run for the same
Office six years ago. The hearty
enthusiasm with which the people knocked
him out at the polls was very creditable to
them surely.
Col. Allen Miller closed his remarks
with the statement that he was to make
way for Judge Carey. The portieres lead.
ing into one of the wings were immedi-
ately thrown open with a flourish and the
Greeley band Imported for the occasion)
struck up a lively flourish as though the
conquering hero was about to honor this
mundane sphere with his presence. 1t
was just altogether too lovely the way in
which the thing was done, but the
proceedings slipped a cog somehow
and instead of Carey appearing at that
stage of the game Ex-Governor Warren
put in his sleek, well-fed appearance. AS
a ~palaverer Mr. Warren is a conspicuous
success. He tried the old, old dodge of
advising his hearers to throw aside parti-
sanship and vote for the best man who
The was kind enough to tell those present)
was Judge Carey. He didn't condescend
to explain why Judge Carey was the best
man, or why a man who doesn't pretend
to represent anything but the So
called aristocratic element could pos
sibly be a better representative
than a man like Perry Organ, who
represents all classes of the people. He
likewise threw out vague hints of an
emergency that was about to arise. We
have frequently heard of these alleged
emergencies before, and our experience
with them has led us to look for a colored
man in the wood pile. To Gov. Warren
was given the task Of sugar coat.

work was scarcely done with the
governors accustomed adroitn ess.
When he mentioned Judge Berg
man he spoke of his length of service in
the county and city, and alluded to his
efficiency. No for Bergman" yelled a
man In the gallery who wore one of the
Republican badges.
When it came to Donzelman great di
%plomacy was exercised, an attempt being
made to apparently say a great deal and
yet say very little. A personal attack
was made upon Judge William Ware
Peck, which was scarcely as digniied as
was Judge Peek's letter which called it
forth. To call a man an excrescence
on society may be to state a fact, but it
does not always disprove the truth of some
statements that that 'excrescence"
may have made. T. Joe Fisher was dis
missed with a single remark, You all
know him better than | do" They do.
they do.
The remarks of Judge Carey himself
were in somewhat better taste than his
ratification speech, but they were I'M
doubtedly the driest of the evening. He
spoke OF some alleged reference to him
by a Democratic speaker recently,
and characterized them as vile in the ex-
IRENE. But | bear HIM no i'll will, said
the forgiving judge, "oh, no, I'll never
resent it" and so on adnauseum. He
charged that some papers had published
speeches which he never made, aud as
the Sun is the only paper which
has had the nerve to publish
any of mis- speeches, the reference
was a gratuitous fling at that much abused
Republican organ. Of course he was IN
favor of protection, and why shouldn't he
be when the Carey Bros. of Philadelphia
own a wall paper factory Zone of the dozen
in the country which il protected by a
duty of 25 per cent?. The Judge favors
protection all right enough, particularly
when it begins at home, as it does in this
case. He spent three-quarters of an hour
in explaining with the minuteness of a
diagram how he got through the bill
establishing the land office at
Buffalo. He ACKNOWLEDGED thut he had
to get Democratic influence to do 1t, gave
