GREAT HARRISON MEETING.
E.'rhe meeting in the Court House, was well
worthy the county which first named Gen. HART
son in connection with the Presidency, man
worthy free, intelligent, magnanmous and free
ueople. We desire no better evidence than that
which this meeting furnished Of what Dauphin
will do for Harrison and Tylev in the fall of 1910.
The old the young and the mddle-aged, from all
parts of our county, were in attendance. Some
ofour farmers rode over 30 miles to he present mt
this gathering together OF the sovereign people,
Old Democrats of the time of Jefferson, Madson
Monroe aud Snyder were in attendance 10y scores,
and manifested m enthusiasm worthy such old
patriots. In short such gathering OF the PEG

a transparency representing Gen. ilarrisons "log
cabin" on one side-the battle Cfthe Thames on
another--the flag of the republic on ihlrd-and
the motto of DEMOCRACY, REFORM, AND

was introduced; and it then that the full
hearts of the country people broke loose with all
the wild Joyous acclamations that their lungs
could give vent to; and from thence until the All

Our Harrison meeting at Charlton, yesterday,
far exceeded our highest anticipations and they
were not low. Ii was without doubt the greatest
political gathering ever known in Northern Ohio.

procession from PainesviIle-a full mile in the
most compact order--was bur fraction of the
whole multitude. The place Of meeting was Il

ofthe enthusiasm and the reform spirit that pre-
vailed. We had good delegation fronhAshtahu-

boldly made and promptly accepted. You may
count OH majority of 5000 for Harrison and Ty-
Ter, in Ashtabula and Geauga counties. What
are we to hear from Cuyahoga county?
The Ohio State Journal in giving an account of
the large Harrison Meeting in Butler County,
says:
Three fourths Of the meeting were farmers,
who not only know hhe difference between 'ipork

but the cause which has made that difference !!
Fully one half ofthe meeting were men who were
warm supporters of Gen. Jackson. Depend upon

GREATHARRISON MEETING.
Notwithstanding the extreme severity of the
snow storm of last Saturday, which rendered it
quite impracticable for many to come in from re-
mote parts of the country, who we know intended
TO participate in the proceedings of the meeting,
nevertheless, the assemhlage of resoute freeman
was considerably larger than ever before seen at
for the meeting was IL o'clock NJ Before that
Time the yeoinanry OF the country began TO pour
into the city from the neighbOuring towns, with
flags flying, bearing the names OF HARRISON ana
TYLER, and many other appropriate and significant
mottos. The best feeling, and generous enthusl
asm, animated every BOSOM We assure our
friends in the eastern portion four state, that Old
Erie is goo for 5000 majority foa Harrison next
fall. And in case the Federal Administration
pushes Mr.. Cahouns infamous bill to cede the
public lands to the new staes the electors of Erie
county will vote almost unanimously for the op
position candidate.
We cannot close our brief notice of this i'm
mense meeting without expressing the thanks OF
the Wings generally, to their political friends IN
Hamburger, for the liberal manner in which they
turned out Notwithstanding the violence OF the
