Who, on reading these things, can doubt,
that the living and burning masses of the
Ohio yeomanry will give such majority for
old Tippecanoe as the State has never vet
given any Presidential Candidate?
CoLUMBus, FRIDAY 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 scene has never before been witness
ed in this or any other country. wish l
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 entirely. out 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 10 the city
were seen crowded with wagons and car
riages Of every description, and horses in
numerable,-they soon came pouring into
tho city from every quarter, and continued
coming in throughout the day. They did
not appear to be delegates Of the people, but
the people themselves, for they came in
companies of hundreds and thousands. Ibid
not see delegation that would number as
low as one hundred.
Cid hunters on horseback, large Conasta-
90 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-shouted, throughout
this day. The enthusiasm is past all bounds.
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 fornss It is indeed almost impossible
70 crowd through this great mass of people,
even TO reach the end Of the single square.
The city Is iusnninated, and presents a beau
tiful appearance, --all is life and Joy.
The very lowest estimate / have heard
from any one, Of the delegates present, is
$1,000 and some say 10000. It is the
largest Convention that ever assembled in
the United States.

y cannot begin TO give youspy idsa of the
preseason, or Of the enthusiasm every where
manifested throughout the city. No man
ever Witnessed the like before. and no man
will ever witness the like sagain.
