The sun was now sinking towards the NortE
Mountain, when the President adjourned tht
Convention and the vast multitude dispersed il
tho same good order in which they had arrived
on the ground and preserved throughout thai
memorable day. The day was fine, with bright
sun. and cool and bracing breeze stirring all The
time Ii was between two bright moonlight
nights which enabled our Jealous and industrious
Democracy To leave. and return 10 then homes
without unnecessary loss Of time or the shadow
of discomfort.
INCIDENTS or THE FESTIvAL.-The arrange
merits AT the grouud Tor the accommodation ol tht
vast multitude which con@regaed there on Thurs
day. were of the best kind;-ani the highest Gre
dill is due To the committees having charge ofthese
matters. The Rostrum which was erected fol
the orators the seats for the ladies, the booths enc
the tables, were all fitted up and arranged in The
best taste, and our working men TOO, whose cner
~ and skill arc adequate To any task that may b,
imposed upon them, contributed their labor an
time, their onv capital, with patriotic cheerful
ness and alacrty 10 the work.
THE NUMBER.
The lowest estimate OF mmrtJai men IS. ,ha
the number who came up 10 the Democratic Iu.
bicc. was from 10000 10 10000 persons. W.
do not profess 10 be Il Judge in such matters, bu
if there were six thousand persons al the Whia
rally. we have but litile doubt that there were
more than double that number on the ground on
Thursday. Major Dayezac, OF New York, on
of the orators on the occasion, stated that he had
addressed 81 public meetings since the nomina
tons By the Baltimore Convention, and that this
was by far the largest he had yer seen, not except
ing the rousine gatherings IN the great City and
State of New York, where business OF that kind
is done upon magnificent scalc-Wlth his prac-
ised eye and Judgment. he did not hesitate 10 say
that there were 10000 persons in the area before
him We prefer To defer our Judgment 10 his,
because we think that he ought 10 he accounted
pretty good ui.e in such matters. If he is
right in the estimate, the Republican must have
made a Wrapping mistake, when hc talks ol the
contemplate lille SQUAD OF II or 1900, mentioned
in his last. No doubt it was typographical er
ror, which he will probably correct next week
b. lacking oh an 0 10 the above nunler
SPEECHES IN TOWN.
On "Wednesday night Il large and attentive
crowd was addressed hy the veteran Davezac, IN
der the triumphal arch in Loudoun street, anc
although intended only u waiver oi The earne>
call which had been made upon him for speech
his remarks were characterized BY Il teryid clio
Gucnee which rabs the rlaudilS OF appreciation
from every tongue. Upon his retiring, Henry
I Rc,inecr Esq, OF Jefferson, the talented and pa
trolc Eiector Of This District took Tie stand. ;.nc
although he was much exhausted ~ two days pre-
v!ous labor in his Electoral vocation, he led of
in fine STYLE and The way he made the fur ily upol
the occasion, shows that his keen aud polished
blade is ever ready TOR ser"ice under any and al
disadvantages. He spoke about an hour and re-
tired amid The shouts OF his admiring audience.
ON THURSDAY nigh,--John w. Baughman,
l.
Of Wood>ioch. Il. French, ESD, OF Chesterfield,
and our talented Elector Henry Bedinger, held
forth under the triumphal arch TO a large crowd;
ard their efforts We understand reflected the high
est credit upon the talents OF these distinguished
orators Charles Harding Esq, OF Charleslown
was cac! upon for Il speech but owing TO the
lalencSs Of the hour. as We learn, he declined The
invitation.
J. V. L. MCMAHON, ESQ.
Many apologies are due 10 the gentleman
whoSc,name heads this article for the liberty We
have taken in thus parading il 50 often before the
public but we hope tobc excused, when We assure
him tina, it is owing 10 the logged otstinacy Of
the "R.puhlican," who is 81 unwilling 10 lose him
from his er0dwaND thinning ranks, he will not
yet acknowledge that the President Of the Young
Mems Ratification Convention in 1910. Will not
be- found aiding and abeing in isl! in the elcc-
lUh oi IN" great High tficSl OF loOhcIV. W.
are now requested 10 say, upon the authority Of
David Stewart and William F. Gle, EsGr's, Of
Baltimore. that John V. L. Mcmahon will Ger
tainly vote for Polk, Dallas and Carroll, and the
"Rcpuhlican' can, therefore, no longer contend,
unless he can gaineay this testimony, that we have
failed in establishing the position with which We
first set ont; al least far Is j, respects Mr..
McMahon's conversion from Whiggery 10 Poke
~. BY the fifteenth Of the present month We
hope 10 have few other revelations 10 make,
which will be as ANNOYING 10 the Republican and
his party friends here, as the fact OF Mr. McAla-
hons conversion. Ono wag oil his tongue will
throw them into commissions and hence their re-
lucance in breaking off from this old veteran
Nm. :. FIITcH-Wc are happy 10 hear that
our friend Aburiis has succeeded in freeing the
mangey Coon who undertook TO play hoax on
lis; and especially that the Po>tmastcr-G cn"ral
has dismissed him from the Office which he held IS
Postmaster at Mill Creek, on account Of his i'm
pertinent Interference in political matters. We
hope thai his brother Peter, who has been writing
letters mp this way, will meet with a rchul;c a.
Significant and iha; hc is certain Of. il he cares
