THE OHIO CONVENTION -TREMElV.
DOuS GATHERING.

The Hon Thomas Corwfn, the hbla eio-
quent and brilliant member Of Congress
from Ohio, was nominated for the Office of
1opernor by that immense, that unparalleled
gathering Of the people, the Columbus Con-
fentioas- Il was an excellent. Almost admi-
mble nomination: a man more popular than
Mr.. Corwin or one more able 10 vindicate
with triumphant power the cause of truth
md Of The country cannot be found within
the broad limits of the ssyoung Giant State of
the West The animation was received
with shout thatreaced the clouds and came
echoing buck from them like thunder-clap.
Gen. Resin Beall was President Of the
Convention and there were 10 Vice Presi
dents and o Secretaries. The President and
severnl Of the Vice Presidents and Secreta-
Ties were well known as having been origi-
nally among the warmest supporters of Gem
eral jackson.
The Ohio papers are filled, from begin
ming to end, with such enthusiastic accounts
of the Convention and its proceedings, that
we scarcely know what to- copy. The fol-
lowing extracts Of a letter, which we find in
the Cincinnati Republican, may give some
idea of the glorious spirit that prevailed
i spirit, that sparkled and glowed and flashed
like a confiagration.
Who, on reading these things, can doubt,
I that the living and burning masses of the
Ohio yeomanry will give such majority for
old Fippecanoe as the State has never yet
given any Presidential Candidate?
CoLUMBUs, FRIDAr EVENING,
February 2lst, 1910.
1t is not IN the rover of man to describe
the scenes of to-day. have looked on with
wonder and amazement, and have sometimes
had doubts whether all saw was reality
such a scene has never before been witness
ed in this or any other country. wish |
could give your readers some faint idea of
all that has been seen, and all that has been
done in this city, since day light this morn
ing-but it is eEtirely.ou Of my power.
can only say that the PEOPLE have taken
the affairs of the State into their hands, and
have turned out, not by hundreds, but thou
sands. The doings of this day in Columbus
cannot be exaggerated.
At daylight the roads leading to the city
were seen crowded with wagons and car
riages Of every description, and horses in
numerable,-they soon came pouring into
the city from every quarter, and continued

the people themselves, for they came in
companies Of hundreds and thousands. Ibid

low as one hundred.
Cid hunters on horseback, large Conasta-
20 wagons, small wagons and carriages of
every description, and horsemen and foot
men have thronged these streets to-day,
without number The name of HARRISON
has been shouted and re-shsufed, throughout
this day. The enthusiasm is past all bounds.
i am This evening half crazed with the
unceasing shouts and huzzas of the people.
and the moment | am writing, the side walks
and streets are literally crowded with liv-
ing forms. Il is indeed almost impossible
to crowd through this great mass of people,
even to reach the end of the single square.
The city Is iuxminated, and presents beau
tiful appearance all is life and joy.
The very lowest estimate have heard
from any one, of the delegates present, is
1900 and some say 10000. It is the
largest Convention that ever assembled in
the United States.
