country than any other meeting ever held In the
United States. William Cullen Bryant presided
at that meeting and Horace Greeley stood upon
che platform. The orator of the evening was
man then comparatively unknown In the East
Abraham Lincoln. His speech was surprise to
the country.
The speaker then entered into q sketch
of President Lincoln's career, and traced
the achievements of the Republican party
from that period down to the present time.
He ould not. however. he said, ask any
credit for what the Republican party had
done in that time. 5ut was willing that It's

Characteristic speech by Depew.
There were loud calls for Mr.. Depew, and
after brief introduction from MIR. Platt.
the great spell.binder came to the 'front.'
MIR. Depew said:
did not come here tonight for the purpose of
making speech. came here for the purpose
OF hearing our candidate for Vice-president make
the habit of making. came for the purpose OF
hearing ny friend and brother, Mr.. Platt, make
one of those speeches which he makes too
hard man can hit when he strikes
from the shoulder. came for the purpose of
Warner Miller, and came for the purpose of
convincing the skeptical Democratic newspaper
that there was harmony in the Republican party.
