IN MIR. GROWS BEHALF.
Opening the Republican Campafrn 4,
Philadelphia.

A republican mass meeting was held last
evening in the Academy of Music. at Phil
adeiphia, that filled the building from or
chestra 10 top gallery with a crowd of en-
thusiastic believers in the doctrines of the
party. and hundreds surged around the
entrance doors unable to gain admittance.
The attraction that drew SO MANY peopIe
10 the meeting was. undoubtedly. the an
nouEcement in the list of speakers Of the
name OF Congressman Thomas B. Reed of
Maine. The meeting was held under the
auspices Of the Union League Club and its
object was the dual one of opening in Phil
adeiphia the campaign of Galusha A. Grow.
republican candidate for Congressman-at-
large. and to enunciate anew the policy of
protection as opposed to that Of tariff re-
form.
The meeting was presided over by Colonel
A. Loudon Snowden. ex-minister to Greece
and SPAIN and the first speaker was Mr..
Grow
Mr.. Grows speeach was a defense of re-
publican principles. and an arraignment of
the doctrines of democracy. Mr.. Grow
spoke but a short time, and expressed him.
SELF as confident of election and q big ma
jority at the coming election. on the 10th
Of the month.
Col. Snowden then introduced Mr.. Reed
AS the Maine Congressman came down to
the edge of the stage the entire house rose.
@ FOR five minutes every man In the audi
ence seemed to be trying TO cheer louder
than his neighbor. Finally. Mr.. Reed was
compelled to raise his hand in expostula-
ton, and. after some spasmodic cheering
from those that had some breath left quiet
was obtained. Mr.. Reed spoke for three
Quarters Of an hour. and his dry humor and
sarcasms at the expense OF democracy and
Its leaders were heartily appreciated by his
republican audience.

The District Recordership - Gossip
About the Freedman's Hospital.

Some Of the colored democrats in this
city believe that Mr. Chas II. j. Taylor
who was recently nominated by the Presi-
dent to be minister to Bolivia, and who
failed of confirmation by the Senate, will
be given the position of recorder of deeds Of
this District.
Mr.. Taylor, II is said, has secured sigma
lures to monster petition for the re-
cordership. which will be presented to the
President in due time.
According to the statement going around
among the colored democrats, Mr. Taylor
had a recent interview with the President
and had been given the choice of two
places, the Haitian mission and the re-
cordership OF deeds, and had decided to
accept the latter place. as he does not wish
to go out of the country.
Another report which has caused con-
siderable talk among the colored residents
of Washington is that DR.. ID. II. Williams,
prominent negro physician Of Chicago.
Secretary Smith of the Interior TO receive
his commission as chief Of the Freedman s
Hospital
In connection with this report it is also
stated that the minister to Haiti under
Mr.. Clevelands former administration. j.
E. W. Thompson of New York, who is
also a physician, will be appointed to the
place now held by DR.. Furman ]. Shadd.
WHO Is LIZ. fuTNlS dSslStdut. ~
Bruce. it is alleged, has quietly opposed
DIR. Purvis, and has used his influence to
secure Purvis' place for his family physi-
clan, DR.. J. r. Francis. The place now
held by DR.. Purvis is regarded as a very
honorable position by the colored politi-
clans. though 1t Is not supposed 10 come
within the purview of politics OF any kind.
The surgeon In chief has almost unlimited
power, and has also about forty or fifty
places at his disposal-such as nurses.
watchmen and laborers. After nearly
every presidential election the present sur
geon in charge. despite the fact that his
is not a political office, has to examine his
fences very carefully to ascertain where
he Is ''at." A prominent colored republican
OF this city. who is personally friendly to
the President, recently addressed him a
letter in behalf of DIR. Purvis urging his
retention in his present place. giving as a
reason therefor his peculiar adsptability
and fitness as a physician md surgeon for
the work he is now performing so satisfac-
torily. The President is said to have re-
piled to this letter in a manner which
would seem to indicate that the statements
concerning DR.. Williams appointment TO
this place are not well grounded.
