COLUMBUS, FRIDAY EVENING,
Feb. 2Ist, 1910.
Ills not in the power of man to describe the
scenes ofto-day. | have looked with wonder.
and amazement, and have some sometimes had
doubts whether all / saw rsality,-such
scene has never before been witnessed in this or
any other country. wish couldgive your rea-
ders some faint idea of all that has been seen, and
all that has been done in this city, since daylight
this morning-but it is entirely out of my power
/ can only say that the PEOPLE, the real hard
listed, hard working, honest yeomanry of the coun-
try have taken the affairs Of the State into their
own hands, and have turned out, not by dozens
or hundreds but by thousands. The doings of this
day in Columbus cannot be exaggerated. am
perfectly willing to let any one, who doubts the
overwhelming burst of enthusiasm, that has been
witnessed here throughoutthe day, apply to our
Hamilton county members of the Legislature
they can satisfy them to their hearts content,
warrant them. Senator Holmes told one OF our
delegation this morning, when looking at the Sc
veraI delegations coming into the city by thou
sands, that he had never before witnessed any
thing like it-that it altogether exceeded his ex-
pectations. No doubt it did, for it exceeded by
far, the most sanguine expectations OF the most
Jealous Harrison mon in Columbus.
At daylight, the roads leading to the city, were
seen crowded with wagons and carriages of every
description, and horses, inn1merable,-they soon
came pouring into the city from every quarter
and continued coming in throughout the greater,
part of the day. They did not appear to be dele
gates of the people, but the People themselves for
they came in companies of htsgdreds and thousands
did not see q delegation that would number as
low as one hundred. Every company had one or
more banners. wish could give you list of
the mottos, on the various banners that have pas
sed through these streets to-day They were in
