Acknowledging the salutations Of the many persons
who passed that knew him. Applause) Father
Ducey has been Of the most indefatiGable men
in this movement. which Is directed against wrong
and corrupto1, and which Is In behalf Of justice and
Of right. App!ause.) Father Ducey Is loyal 10 his
church and loyal his citizenship and is living

"This morning New-iork newspaper informed
the public that q certain Father Ducey 'derisve
auehter was to make this evening bitter and partisan
hxrangue against a certain hall in this city. Now, my
friends and fellow citizens all that Father Ducey Is
going 70 do is TO exercise the right which belongs to
every American Citizen to crtcise the maladmnstra
ton of the cty's affairs, and TO point out
where in his opinion, improvements can
be made and improvements, he thinks
can be made by getting a majority OF the
citizens of New-York defeat by their votes On No
vember A. the present municipal administration. ZAP
