NEW YORK-I.IVINGSTON COUNTY
WING MASS MEETING
First Moving Of tie Waters Of The Great Flood
Of 1914
From the Livingston County IN. W Republican
The sixty-eighth anniversary Of the Declare
ton of independence was most appropriately cell
ebraled in this village on Thursday last By from
fifteen to twenty thousand freemen, assembled TO
vlndlcate their claim 10 the patriotic title under
which their ancestors engaged in the Revou-
tonary War, by taking measures to secure and
perfect our National Independence and exemp-
ton from the effects Of British legislation. It
was, by thousands, the largest as.emblagc which
ever met in Livingston county, and we believe
the largest political gathering ever known in
western New York. All seemed to feel that the
work OF this day is but continuation and COM
pletion OF that of 1776,-the deverance of uur
glorious land from every shade and remnant IF
colonial vassalane, and from every form of de-
pendence on the legislation aud dictaton of Eu-
ropean M,narchs--ihe PROTECTION of the Indus
try of the free American elector from The ,compe-
pauper labnr,-.he preservation Of our sacred NJ
Ional Union from the Texan conspiracy. Well
do the intelligent Wing Electors Of wing -ton
maintain their claim 10 their fathers maine and
their fathers patriotic cause
In all the demonstrations Of this exciting and
majestic spectacle, it was made most evident that
the people IN great masses had already fHl'y suc-
ceeded in distinguishing the objects, relations and
tendencies OF The two great National parties. and

immense teams of noble horses that well beseem-

Two Of the great statesmen of New York,
MeSsrs FILLMORE and COLLIER, whose
promised presence had been so effective an at
traction to many, were both present at the ornan-
ization of the meeting, and we're welcomed by The
vast audience with such hearty cheers and spon-
taneous applause as showed the high and Just APP
probation which the mass of the people have
formed OF the public services and great abilities
of these eminent men.
