and, II we mistake not she VIII give Boou accou"'
of herself if she does not bear away the prize BAN
ner in the glorious battle of November. The Ohio
Statesman says, the Young Hickory Club" had
rally at the market House Friday evening last.
The speaker was Mr.. James Steward, young Cabi-
net Maker of Evansville.
Mr.. Steward, in 1910, was Wing, and batled
stoutIy with the party Which succeeded to power.
He commenced his speech by rectng the reasons Tor
chang not his politics, but his parry In 1910, as
now, he was opposed to United States Bank, and
with other Wings, strongly denied that the coons had
any intention OF charteiiDg such an institution
Then, as now, he was opposed to high protective
tariff, and during that campaign, had appealed TO the
letters of General Harrison, wherein he said that he
never would agree to the compromise act being either
altered repealed to show that the Wings were not
in favor of protecting the favored few, at the ex-
pcnse of the many. Unfortunately for himself, when
Whggery came 10 be carried out, II differed widely
from Whiggery before the electon-their precept
was different from their practice. Before the cleo
ton, the leaders were ultra Democratic after the
election their measures were ultra Federal. Like
thousands of others who had been deceived, he had
severed the cords which bound him to Whiggery,
and ranged himself under the banner of the Demo
crazy.
MIR. Steward then discussed at length, and
in mastery manner, the questions OF the bank, Ia
riff, distribution and natiyeism, well as the Alge-
rines in imprisoning Thomas w. Dorr for attempting
10 give 10 form Vi RQN-
ernment such is guaranteed by the Constitution Of
the United States His illustrations on the different
subjects upon which he spoke were clear and forci
BILE, and even now, though quite young man, and
tied down to the work bench to support family, and
with but little time for study, he will rank among the
ablest of public speakers.
On the subjects of the persecution of foreigners,
and the Imprisonment Of DorI, Mr. Stewart was
scathingly severe, depicting in their true coors, the
infamy of both. Al the conclusion of his speech
vote Of thanks was passed by the club for his able
and eloquent address.
SPIRITED MEETING AND HICKORY POLE RAISING
AT wERT's GROVE.
Several hundred Of the democrats Of Madison
township in this county, met at Werts Grove on
Saturday TO hear Messrs. McNuty and Stone and
to raise hickory pole. The speeches were fne the
democracy in The highest spirits, and the Pole long
and straight, went up the store door of Mr. Vert,
looking down on the ash sticks around II. We have
known the democrats Of Franklin in higher spi-
rits. We learn that all the meetings during the
week in this county, have been fine and of the most
cheering character
The Holmes County Farmer says: During the
past week we have attended 3 mass meetings of the
Democracy in Coshocton, Holmes, and Knox, and
never in all our life have much enthusi-
asm, ZEAL and confidence of success, among the Do
mocracy.

There most glorious meeting, considering
the busy Of the year. and the location there
WAS large turnout-the number present being not
less than 200. Doctor Drake and Colonel Many
penny, Of Zanesville, and Governor TOD spoke
Great enthusiasm prevailed, and the people were de-
lighted with the address of Colonel Tod. Our
friends there that Coshocton will give 700
Democratic majority.
our MEETING IN HOLMES
Exceeded our most sangune expecrations-it be-
ing larger than any meeting ever before held in this
county, and being five times as large the Wing
meeting at which the Infant said there 1000.
Gov. Tod made most excellent speech and was
followed by Colonel Carter, of Summit, the Yankee
coon skinner. Governor Tod won a great many
friends, by his calm candid manner, and powerful
arguments, and his majority in this county will
coed the expectations of hs most sanguine friends
We know more than thirty Wings who will vote for
Tod
But the graatest Convention of the campaign was
the perfect avalanche at
MOUNT VERNON.
This meeting exceeded every thing Of the kind we
have ever witnessed. The great outpourngs of the
people in 1910 bear comparison TO H. anJ yet we
can Ind no words to describe it none who did not
see IT can form any idea Of its spirit, its magnitude
and its thrilling effect upon every bebolder. In num-
bers IT equal # not superior TO the monstrous
gathering at MsssiloD-but the banners flags, mot.
toes and paintings and the splendid company Of
koon Killers, aud the company OF beautiful Ju-
vene Songsters and the splendid torch-light pro-
ccssion, with significant ransparencies, all contrbu
ted to make the scene OF grand and imposing
magnhcepce
we, together with a large number Of democrats
of Holmes, accompanied Gov. Tod 10 Mt Vernon

procession from Danville, Wildwood, and the sur
rounding country, which was over mile in length.
When we had passed TO the head Of the procession,

cheers for Tod and Victory. The procession then
marched into town. where !, was joined by the vsri
professions from other directions until II reached
many miles in length.
| At an early hour Gov Tod took the s,and-bu,
not more than half OF the people could get near
enough to hear him. Col. Medill then commenced
addressing the people in the Courthouse, which was
soon crowded to overfowing, and thousands yet be-
ing unable TO hear at all, A. Y. Stone, ESQ., of Co
lumbus, placed upon a stand at the corner Of the
Kenyon House, Col. McNuty took stand a few
squares below him, and then there were FIVE orators
addressing the people at and the same time
The main street and the public square complete

Tod, and delivered a most eloquent and powerful
speech
