ESTER.
Oxc Nundred Thousand People assembled
at Rochester,,
The glories of 1910 are cclipsed The
great gathering at Bunker Hill, on Boston
Common, in the city of Baltimore, have
ceased to be objects of wondering specnla-
ton The various mass meetings held in
every quarter of the Union during the last
six months, large in numbers, imposing in
appearance and enthusiastic in feeling as
they all have been, sink into insgnficance

ular demonstration of which Rochester has
been the scene. The great meeting held in
Albany on the 9Th of August, which aston

on has never looked upon its like!
The mighty gathering a, Rochester pro-
claim, THE WEST aroused and marshaled for
the fight, and determined upon rictory.
