Meeting Of The H. And E. Club

Notwithstanding the rain last Saturday night a fair audience assembled in the court-house to hear the issues of the campaign discussed from a democratie standpoint. The meeting was held uudor the direction of the Hancock and English club, and at 8 o'clock was called tu order by vice-Presïdent Manly, who sated that owing to siclaiess, Geo. F. Robison, one of the speakers, was unable to be present, but that his place would bc filled by Mr. John Enright, of Detroit. He then introduced Mr. E., who spoke for uearly an hour. In cloeing he paid a glowing tiibute to Gen. Hancock. Said the speaker Hancock and English will be Tilden and Hendrick's snecessors to the presidenoy and vice-presidensy of the United States. Hancock has shown to the world his ideas of truu statesmanship. He holds that the civil law is paramount to military rule. There is just enough in his words to command tlie respect of every truc I dumocrat in the land. It is needless to say that republicans aro alarmed at the popularlty of Hancock, and against his brilüant soldier record, they aro unable lo say a word. The rcpublican party have been so long in power, thcy think they have a divine nghttorule. In the Hancock-Shernian corrospor.dence they got more than they bargainod for, and his recent letter on the paymeut of rebel claims, has caused ropublican stump speakers to chango théir line of argument. No man is botter qualifled to cany out the precepts of Thomas Jefferson, than the brave and gallant Hancock. Elected to the presidency, as he surely will be,he will give to the country a puro and economical administration. As the speaker was not notified until Baturday noou by Mr. Robison, that he wished him to fill his engagement, and as it was the first speech of Mr. Enright this campaign, that gentleman did exceedingly well, and his remarks wero well received. Chas. R. Whitman wasuext introduced and made one of his usual interesting, logical and unanswerable speeches. "He could not understand why a republican who voted for a chango in 1860 becausc as they claimed the administration was corrupt, when the expenses of eonducting the affairs of the government were only $04,000,000, and now undor republican rule in the yoar 1880, they have in creascd to the cnormous amount of $160,000,000, could not consistcutly voto for Gen. Hancock. Sumner said in 1872 that the rcpublicau party was losing its identity, and instead of republicanism there will soou be loft nothing but Grantism. The rcpublican party is to-day the party of rebelhon, and the péople are waked upou this subject. As the business of the uorth depends on the prosperity of the south, thousands ol republicana will vote for Hancock because the success of ono section depcuds on the prosperity of the wholc country. The clection of Hancock will bind together :he sectional wounds. He is a man who will brins; prosperity and peace to our unhappy land. In this county the democrats have a ïnajority, and we can elect every man on the ticket. An unbroken front eau win. The question is shall we present sucb. a front and sweepjjthe entire democratie ticket into office on the second of next November?"
